Why couldn't they simply cover up serial number and release it?

Don't know. Cannonball may be able to address this better than I can.

Does anyone know if SWFA has free WiFi you can get from that spot in their parking lot?

Excellent question.

 

[arkansasmimi]

There is at least one known warrant that is being withheld. That warrant contained the serial number of a firearm and that is reason used for not releasing that particular warrant. There are likely warrants to banks that are being withheld. Possibly warrants to hotels, car rental companies, gyms and other businesses, etc. that are being withheld.

But as far as warrants that are "sealed" and whether or not that is different from warrants that are not releasable due to exceptions, I don't know.

What I find surprising is that we haven't seen any warrants to e-mail providers or chat/video chat providers, skype (and similar), other social media, websites, etc. To only have them for Facebook and LinkedIN leaves me a bit dumbfounded.

:thinking:
I agree. I am curious as to why MB FB Affidavit does not mention KC yet BB's does. Only other place we have seen KC is FB Affidavit that Cannonball got us. Very possible the other SWs have been posted but wasn't anything that MSM was interested in. (Common SW, no meat and potato stuff for reporting as the ones they did report on). By Texas Statute they have to file them unless sealed and then only twice and then filed for public view. Most of those you mentioned would most likely be very redacted.
I know we have poured over the SWs upon end, but this just caught my eye.

#3 Your Affiant is requesting all AT&T historical records/information pertaining to the identified
"Target Numbers" as outlined and described above that would support any and all
communications including to but not limited to cell phone calls, messaging, texts, emails,

Your Affiant has reasonable grounds to believe that the historical records/information stored by AT&T for the specified "Target Numbers" during the specified date range is imperative in identifying the suspect(s) involved in the ongoing investigation of MURDER against Terri "Missy" Leann Bevers which occurred on Monday April 18, 2016 within the hours of 3:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m., Central Standard Time.


ATT Targeted Numbers SW snip from Probable Cause Throughout the course of this MURDER investigation, evidence has been recovered from electronic data extractions performed on Brandon Bevers (husband) and Ms. Bevers personal electronic devices (lphones and an lpad). This extracted information has provided officers with potential persons of interest "Target Numbers" based on the nature of the communications (text, messages, and recovered deleted messages) between Ms. Bevers and the above "Target Numbers". A portion of these messages (as well as deleted messages) recovered indicate and confirm statement and tips provided to officers of an ongoing financial and marital struggle as well as intimate/personal relationship(s) external to the marriage with identified "Target Numbers".
JMHO SNIP goes towards "target" or possible hit? This says they believe the SUSPECT had bee in contact in some manner with "target numbers" < anyone listed on the SW. Probable cause goes into reasons why some may be on due to release of the longer version of the video. But not only was the Tower Dump from 3-5 a.m. they were also looking at these individuals stuff between those hours and whom they may have had contact with between 3-5 am.

Affiant believes and charges that at the time of the commission of the offense of murder that the unknown suspect was in possession of a cell phone and had been in contact in some manner with "Target Numbers" identified above for the following purposes, without limitation: (i) confirming through public social media sites and/or applications the updated workout times and locations as posted by Ms. Bevers;

 

[Jethro4WS]

So there are exceptions that allow SW to be withheld which is different than being sealed?

When you fill out a records request for various agencies or city or county government there is usually a part about exceptions. Here is an example from the City of Arlington, TX. The Texas statute itself explains all of them (though in legalese).

http://mygovhelp.org/ARLINGTONTX/_cs/AnswerDetail.aspx?inc=19633

There are other documents that would require a court order to protect them. For example, Ellis County doesn't have a Medical Examiner office and autopsy reports would go to the Justice of the Peace that pronounced Missy dead. Those autopsy reports would be part of an inquest by the Justice of the Peace, which is required when a death is the result of a crime. However, because this is a Justice of the Peace those documents are considered Judicial records in Texas and those records are available (not subject to the Open Records exemptions) unless MPD or the District Attorney gets an order from a court to protect them from being released. Judicial records in Texas are handled differently than other government records.

Random thought here....I was thinking about the car of suspicion, the Nissan Altima, and it's age is estimated to be a 2010-2012. I use to think the car used in the crime was likely a rental but now after thinking about the age of the car, I believe it's too old. Your thoughts?

I am perplexed by the probable cause affidavit for BB's FB. In one sentence they mention BB offering up the KC/MB relationship and in the next sentence they talk about MB being in contact with CW.

I am also confused by the time ranges they selected and the obvious error of it being Central Standard Time when it was already Daylights Savings Time. Who knows what time range of information MPD actually got back.

My gut, and nothing more, tells me MPD were rather confident of the ATT Tower warrant and the Phone warrants bearing fruit. And my gut is telling me that Missy had sent or received a message (even if unread) or made or received a call (even if unanswered) in that time frame. If I were MPD I would be tracking down who knew about CW prior to Missy's murder based on any communications via MB, BB or CW to anyone else or based on interviews with BB, CW or other individuals. I believe someone else had to know and as long as it didn't get to too many people MPD would be not far from finding SP - they may even have already spoken to SP for other reasons (obviously not realizing the individual was SP). Naturally I could be wrong about this.

The target numbers had a warrant issued for activity and apps on their phones from the dates 03/01/2016 to 04/24/2016 as that is the "specified date range" for the murder that occurred between 3 - 5 on April 18. Hence, the T#s warrants provided investigators with all of the T#s connections, their contacts, their emails, texts, incoming, outgoing and missed calls, and more, during that specified 7 week date range which, interestingly enough, happens to include six days after the murder.

Excellent question.

Thank you. My thought is perhaps SP used one last chance to check on MBs class status via their smartphone and/or burner phone while sitting for the approximate 3 minutes. If they did connect to SWFAs internet, wouldn't an IP address or some form of technology reveal some data? Maybe not by this time frame almost a year later but perhaps worth checking out.

[Seriously?]

My consideration for the affidavit for BB's FB is perhaps BB was informed via FB of relationship(s) of MB and at least KC. I think it's possible someone, maybe even the killer(s), outed some of MB's behaviors to BB. I think it's also possible a PI was involved at some point, and the information was provided by the investigator. It wouldn't have to be a licensed PI - any friend, acquaintance, colleague or family member could follow her. Therefore, information about KC could be included in those messages, MC could have been told, and on and on. Realizing it mimics middle school behavior, but I think it's possible.

Especially Pending Investigation should protect anything they need. The gun mentioned says it is in a SW. That would be the Affidavit portion of the SW? It's been speculated that it could have been Missy's gun or a gun drawn by MPD. But the reason they gave is so the serial # is not used to report a stolen gun. I don't really understand that. If it is Missy's gun and registered to her or BB how could someone else say that gun was stolen? Or same if it is a gun belonging to MPD?

Agree!! I have always thought that her husband had MB followed for awhile. JMO

I agree, I think it is too old for a rental - at least from the major players in car rentals.

Well that would make one look guilty if they had a PI following the subject...

If cell was used for calls, internet, etc., at SWFA the cell would be connected to the cell phone tower and a digital footprint of the connection would be left. If a cell was connected to wifi a digital footprint of the connected wifi IP address and the cell phone tower connection would be left.

ETA
If suspect was using a wifi only device such as a tablet, laptop or a phone without cellular service the cell phone tower dump wouldn't provide any information of that device or the usage. If a wifi only device was used a wifi connection would be needed and it would have left digital footprint. However, LE would need to know about that device or connection in order to capture that digital footprint.
