Thanks, I got confused because of references to awnings and breezeways.
Just to try to nail down some facts, the police warrant states:
"At approximately 0418 hours, the victim Terri Bevers is observed entering the building
through the
main door under the awning area. The video shows Terri Bevers walking
toward where the suspects location. Neither the suspect nor victim, were seen again on
video. The victim was later found deceased at the south west corner of the interior of the building."
TX - Terri 'Missy' Bevers,45, murdered in church/person in SWAT gear,18 Apr 2016 #10
See post 3 for all the warrants.
So, to check whether I understand:
the class was scheduled for the main, west-side entrance to the church ("under the awning" in her message to participants.) This is a large, protected, outdoor space.

Missy drove up to the South entrance and parked under cover close to the building. Presumably she had gear to unload.
Rather than enter the church at that South entrance, according to the Warrant she must have walked around the building and entered through the main, west, entrance.
Possibly her key/key code was for the west entrance, and not the South entrance beside her car? The camera here might be outside, pointed at the lighted entrance doors, as many security cameras are. The foyer would likely be left dark, as is usual when a building is closed.
The technician came in by the South entrance, and walked north up the hallway, to the foyer. It appears he saw the foyer before he saw her body.
IMO, that would indicate to me, her body was near the hallway, toward the south wall in the foyer.
Imagine walking along a hallway from the south entrance: first you'd see the north side of the foyer. Only when you got to the end of the hall would you see a body on your left, westward, around that corner.
Also, that's the direction Missy would have been headed to get back to her truck.
