TX - Terri 'Missy' Bevers, 45, killed in church/suspect in SWAT gear, Midlothian, 18 Apr 2016 #45

Yes, except quite deliberate and systematic, as has been pointed out. Not walking aimlessly, going back to place they were before, or reacting like: pulling on door, door doesn't open, rattles door, walks away, goes back, pulls out various tools, drops one on the floor, pulls again on door, tries tool wrong way, pulls on door, etc etc, which IMO would be the behaviour of an addled brain.

Such odd behavior. The way the tools are handled is like the individual is not familiar with how to use them. They just seem to fumble around. The glass is broken, but it seems to be done in a non-chalant manner.
It also seems strange someone would choose to wear SWAT like gear with sweat pants (based on the observation noted below). I get the impression they were only willing to go so far with looking the part. If they truly wanted to appear like LE, they would have worn different pants. Different pants though may have taken the perp too far out of comfort zone (physical and mental) to come off so casual.

After watching a loop of the video, Bevers said it didn't appear to him that the person in the video was wearing "tactical gear," but rather a "shoddy" outfit made up of motorcycle boots, a generic police jacket, "flimsy sweatpants" and a helmet of some kind.

Was this reported in any other sources? Re: clean up (it's near the end of the article)

Authorities have said they found evidence of forced entry at the church and Bevers may have walked in on a robbery while preparing for her Camp Gladiator fitness class.

They also claimed someone tried to clean up the crime scene.

I think this will turn out to be a child in an adults body, and likely wearing Superman underwear and just finished a bowl of Cap’n Crunch before going on their mission.

amateur opinion and speculation

I'm impressed you have footage with a timecode...was that the initial release but it was wiped from the later footage released?

Twenty minutes is not long until zero hour, yet I get no sense of SP being anxious to get through the rest of the walk thru/smashing.

Yes, if you look in the videos on Midlothian Police Department’s YouTube channel, the 8-second time stamped clip was the first one released.

This was bad reporting on the Daily Mail’s part. MPD was asked about this report. They said there was no indication the killer attempted clean up.

is it just me or does the balaclava appear white in color? Doesn’t SP have a black one on?

This reminds me of discussion in the Kesse case where LE explained that the specific cctv footage can be deceiving, bc light colors could appear dark & vice-versa.

Maybe SP didn't get into "full costume" (wouldn't want to get pulled over like that) until he/she had cased the place and already tested any alarms (which may explain timeline gap from gun store and actual entry into church). IMO the first motion activation at church was perp testing the waters.

I just keep going back to random. This was late Sunday early Monday morning right? Maybe looking for tithes / undeposited funds from the weekend.

I’ve confirmed that the church did not lock the auditorium doors.

While I have not been able to see anything in the killer’s left hand, it has always bothered me the way they lift that hand higher than is necessary to pull on the door handle. It seems unnatural. It also doesn’t make sense, if they are carrying an object, for it to be a flashlight. They already have a flashlight on their head, and it’s clearly switched on.

So what is up with the left hand, whether empty or not?

A video camera ? I hold a video camera like that when documenting work _ way out there I know IMO looks the same

Literally nothing but female to me. Imo I can't get past the gait like mine when I'm hindered w coveralls or tools (I'm a female construction type worker) Seems like this person doesn't use a pry bar right. Idk. Just how I've felt since the start of this case.

If you have a particular image in mind that's missing in general or you cannot locate it, please ask and I can retrieve it. Thanks.

Idkw what I'm doing wrong but I thought I replied
That all I see is female. Looks like me in coveralls or w my tool bags hindering my gait. (I'm in construction) seems like they don't know how to use a pry bar. Imo

Here is the video cropped/slow motion to only show the individual. He is doing something IMO:

Oh wow, this is good, thanks for putting it up No it's not .... yes, this shows it really well, you can see that quick flash of illumination .... h'mm, phone. MOO

I can't even see a balaclava or anything, just light and dark blocks and squares can someone circle the face for me? Cheers

Ah, I see, the further you stand back from it the clearer it is. If you look too close like I was doing you just see a large T shape with sharp angular lines, but if you step back, yeah, there it is. Thanks for putting that up.

I don’t personally believe there is a cell phone shown on the video. Doesn’t make much sense to me that the killer would stop in the middle of prying a door open to pull out a phone, then go back to prying.

If the SP is preparing a wrong track for later investigation, it makes sense to me, when he interrupts his "mission" of breaking glasses/opening doors because his cell phone rings (maybe in his sleeve pocket). SP reads the info from his/one of his accomplices and goes on to play burglar at the opposite side of the hallway. Did his accomplice text something important also regarding the surveillance camera, so that SP automatically looked straight up to it? Would perhaps mean, that someone was able to look on the surveillance video and saw, what SP was doing at the moment. Is that technically possible at all? Idk.

That's a fantastic picture! Thank you!
I remember, that we saw a longhaired driver or a longhaired woman or even a longhaired dog in the car at one time. Have it been hallucinations or was another person in the car also?

Both light/white IMO.
SP is wearing a balaclava underneath the black helmet with visor.

Not sure about any additional passengers/ or dogs in the vehicle from the SWFA surveillance video. I have not checked it out yet. The driver is my main focus for now.

Interesting you keep mentioning the cell phone. Look closely again at the driver from the Nissan (?) vehicle. Is he holding something against his left ear, while partially reaching inside the balaclava?

Please look at the pic from your computer screen! Huge difference, if you don't get a good resolution:

ALL IMO

Edited:
Thinking on the rectangular object in the perps hands. I found a rectangular box made by Vaultz that may be easily held with one hand on its side. It’s a locking pill safe box which has the capped looking corners that this object appears to have. Random possibility...

Example: Vaultz Locking Pill Box, Large, Black - VZ03926

While this one is black, there are also silver ones on the market.

It's a little bit fresh I woulda thought to be telling the killer you will be able to forgive them.....
and telling the media the girls are coping better than expected.
I guess stress makes one say things that with a bit of hindsight probably shouldn't have.

This is going to be hard to bite ones tongue .....but .....we shall

moo

Outside of the alibi, all motives and clues point in one direction. IMHO.
