Veteran prosecutor Toby Shook has a pretty educated guess.
He thinks the killing of the Red Oak wife and mother of three was anything but random and that the person was trying to “get the drop on the victim … to make them think you’re police so that they can feel safe around.”
Shook, a former prosecutor, said when he saw the video of the person inside the church, the name that immediately came to mind was none other than
Eric Williams, the man convicted of killing former Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, his wife, Cynthia and top prosecutor in 2013. He is now on Death Row.
Williams was dressed in police tactical gear when he broke into the McLellands’ Forney home and gunned them down with an assault weapon. He also was wearing goggles and a police vest.
“He wanted to wear police uniforms so that the McLellands would think that he was with the sheriff's office and they would let him in the house,” Shook said.
Shook also says that the person was most definitely not behaving like a burglar. A typical burglar is going to get in and get out, not spend time wandering around the building.
“You don’t dress as a police officer and break into a church,” Shook said.

During his trial, McLelland and Hasse presented evidence that
he paid a friend to rent a storage unit where he kept more than 30 guns, police tactical gear and a getaway car.
