Wonder if a hire for murder type would not choose to be as inconspicuous as possible? Look like everyman/woman ? Drive a non descript vehicle. Wait for her outside the church, hidden in the shadows. Shoot her as she exits her vehicle. make sure she's dead.Leave the scene.jmo

Yes, and frankly, I've never heard of murder-for-hires going to such ridiculous lengths to make their hit look like a bungled burglary. I don't think this was a pro here doing the killing.

It may just be that the Police are conducting a standard investigation by looking at the communications, financial records, etc. That might not point to any theory in particular.

A murder for hire is often not a pro. Just someone willing to do it for the money.

MIDLOTHIAN, Texas - Investigators in Midlothian are taking a close look at fitness trainer Missy Bevers’ financial transactions and online communications.

According to a search warrant, police searched Bevers’ home and gray Ford F150. They took receipts, writings, an iPad, personal notes, credit cards, identifying information, bank statements and other electronic devices into evidence.

"Torrez also said the video indicates the person in the police gear may have been in the church building previously. The alarm reportedly was not activated on the day of the murder."

Who and how was this alarm not activated. Probably not activated because the Church knew she had a morning class. So who knew about this. Looks like someone very close to know she did not have the alarm code and they would leave it un-alarmed.

I don't think they were trying to make it look like a bungled burglary, I think the killer was trying to locate and disable or steal the security camera recording device.

According to a search warrant, "Bevers died of a head wound from an unknown instrument."

According to a search warrant? So...is that official from the ME on that warrant, or it is based on surmise from viewing the scene (prior to autopsy)? What is the time/date stamp on the search warrant--pre or post autopsy?

The dogs could have been brought in for picking up the scent of the killer, not necessarily looking for explosives.

Hmmm... I think someone has been reading our chat

"It was just enough so that if she ran into him she would think it was a police officer and that she was safe so that he can get close enough without her trying to run and get away,” said Catherine Torrez, the former Cockrell Hill police chief.

It hasn't been reported that way

The ATF, Rangers and police used a dog to search the interior and exterior of the church Wednesday for gunshot residue or other explosive powders, NBC5 reported.

Agree. Or for some other form of payment. Just saying, if this was a hired hit, it doesn't seem on the surface to be a professional one, which hopefully will be in Missy's favor, justice-wise.

Not trying to :deadhorse: but seriously anyone who has followed the Teresa Sievers case:

The alarm was disabled.
BFT to head by unknown object
Husband out of town
Physically fit and healthy wife and mother loved by many

It's very odd to me. I'm having dejavu here. I hope I'm wrong and this was just a random attack but I am having my doubts here.

Is it common to issue a search warrant? Why not just ask to come in and get what they need? Did he not consent?!

Wasn't it reported that Missy's daughter would accompany her often to help her set up equipment, etc. I'm wondering if, when the
father was away, it was customary for the daughter to stay home to be responsible for the younger kids. My thinking is, if this was
targeted.... The killer knew the daughter wouldn't be there. IDK... just thoughts.

I agree. Husband out of town, daughter staying home with siblings instead of accompanying mother, knowledge of her schedule. Frightening.

Can we talk about news reporters Twitter feeds? If so, Tanya Eiserer from WFAA Channel 8 is reporting from Midlothian someone is at police HQ right now. (Apology in advance if this is a violation).

Here is the best copy I found of the search warrant.

So alarm and outdoor cameras are disabled or NOT operational on the very day someone is killed in the church. Coincidence?

They have to jump through all the legal hoops to make sure all evidence is admissible at trial. Husband may or may not be a POI, and they probably won't even know who a POI is until they obtain and review those records.

Yes, similarities, absolutely
I think we all have doubts
But really, this is Terri Missy Bevers case and nobody involved in TS's case is involved here

Absolutely and you can link them here , as well. Just be sure to link the twitter page ! It's great because very often reporters will update their twitter many times in between the 'official' MSM page issuing a new story.
