TX TX - Terri 'Missy' Bevers, 45, killed in church/suspect in SWAT gear, Midlothian, 18 Apr 2016 #48

IMO Missy's case will end up like Patti Adkins.

Most people have a pretty good idea who is behind her death but LE will never be able to prove it.

Did they ever collect DNA or fingerprints at the scene of the crime?
I wonder if they do have some experuence with police work or married to one?

IMO it went like this:

“My wife is having an affair, I want her dead. I will make sure I am far away on a fishing trip so I have an airtight alibi”.

“I also need this to look like some type of accident. It can’t look like an arranged hit because I would be the number 1 suspect anyway”.

After discussing the alternatives they agreed it would be done away from the children and they would make it look like a burglary gone wrong.

IMO a lot of planning went into this to make it look like it was not planned if you know what I mean.

The only question is how much the hitman got paid.

I always suspect the spouse first too. Life insurance policies come to mind.
A solution to not paying child support. But it doesn't seem the local law enforcement agrees with us.

IMO law enforcement probably agrees with this but can’t prove it. Knowing who arranged it is 1 thing, but proving it is another. Especially with such a wonderful alibi. What are the odds of your wife being murdered on the very day you are so far away? The perp would have to spill the beans and will never implicate themselves (unless they are cornered and an offer is put on the table for a reduced penalty if they talk).

If someone did hire a hitman but NEVER used email, a cell phone, or text to communicate it would be much harder to prove.

It's interesting his theory it might be a woman.

BB thinks it's a woman, and he might be right. A jealous friend? But who has the MOTIVE?

There is at least 3 females who have been discussed at length. I have a 4th in mind that never gets discussed.

 

[lonewanderer]

I do understand what you’re saying, like they are covered for protection, but they can’t see, evidenced when the Dutch door surprises them. I don’t understand how someone could dress in a way that blocks vision and movement as well as wearing oversized, poorly fitting boots, preventing running or kicking, and that is deemed appropriate gear for hand-to-hand combat? Would you say it was more protection from possible bullets rather than hand-to-hand combat? Thank you for your thoughts.

One possible explanation is that the gear fit poorly because it was not actually their gear. It may have belonged to an accomplice, or given to them to wear. Its likely that this is a female wearing a male outfit. Its also possible they intentionally wore the larger items in order to frame someone and/or say it was not them.

Missy was known to carry a gun. It was highly unlikely she would have it at 4am while setting up for a workout class, but it is a risk.

The gear added protection from a physical assault and kept forensics from transferring to Missy.

The gear completely concealed their identity. The most we know about this person is that they were (likely) Caucasian. That is about it.

Some people think the police gear was used in an attempt to put Missy at ease, thinking it was a cop. I find this farfetched, and could not see most people falling for that, with the person decked out in that outfit. I could, however, see the person in the outfit not being the most mentally stable person in the world and thinking that the outfit would relax Missy and make her comply.

I agree with this post and I'd like to add on that I believe the perp captured on camera to be a man, not a woman. I've never thought it was a woman although I know this has been a common theory. JMO.

It’s very common to speculate on gender if there is any concealment at all.

See Liz Baraza and the Florence Salon Murders as two other examples of the suspect gender debated.

This angle I believe is really unpopular here, but this is a huge red flag to me. MOO and all that.

Yeah, I know. Animal blood.

The definition of taunting, in my book. Yes, we all read different books. It’s what makes the world go ‘round.

 

[Springrain]

My theory over the years of seeing this case grow cold is that the perp was an unprofessional hitman who shoddily staged the whole thing as a burglary and thought he could pretend to be a cop to get Missy to be submissive and comply. I think Missy knew something was up and that he was not a real cop but instead, a lunatic. I'm pretty sure the perp picked up the gear from somebody else and sought for it to be oversized for concealment purposes. JMO

It is possible to set up a hit by using burner phones, or just good old fashioned in-person communication..which sadly is really, really hard to prove. I see no reason to believe it couldn't have been an in-person deal though. "I'll give you (for example) $5k to kill her..." etc.

It’s very common to speculate on gender if there is any concealment at all.

Yes, I've noticed it as well with Liz Barraza and a few other cases (I've never heard of the Florence Salon Murders, though). I understand how people can speculation on the perp's gender in such cases, and women can absolutely commit murder and other severe crimes. However, IMO, the statistics lend credence to the vast majority of murders being committed by men, and I assume the statistics of perps of unsolved murders reflect that as well. That's not to say women can't be responsible, though. just that it's more likely to be men. JMO

The Truth About Stranger Homicide, and Who's Really at Risk

Stranger homicide is rare, but young men more likely to fall victim than women.

www.psychologytoday.com

In 2020, for example, there were just over 21,000 homicides reported in the U.S. Of these, less than 5% of victims were female. Overall, less than 10% of all homicides were believed to have been committed by a stranger. Of the female homicide victims, the vast majority were murdered by a man known to them – a family member, intimate partner, or neighbour, for example.

Or something as simple as his dog got into a fight so he had to take the shirt to the cleaners.

I just wanted to point out that DNA showed it as animal blood as your post did not do so, so infered as per Heavy.com that it was 'unexplained'.

You daughter-in-law was brutally murdered and it seemed like a good idea to take a bloody shirt to a cleaners instead of just trashing it?

It really feels like taunting, red herring attempts, and scoping out what the cops are doing to keep tabs on you.

I can't speak for everyone, but if my DIL was viciously killed, and people were looking at me sideways for it, I wouldn't be seen anywhere with a bloody shirt, no matter what living thing produced the blood.

But, IF you did it, then you REALLY wouldn't take the bloody shirt to the cleaner I would think and yet he did (with his dog's blood on it just as he had stated). Just my take on it.

Imagine if he has tossed a bloody shirt in th garbage and been "caught" doing that. Even worse spin with that scenario by people who would like to think he is involved (and he may be, but he may not be). Damned if he does; damned if he doesn't n'est pas? IE: he's in a no-win situation no matter what he does IMO.

The blood belonged to a dog. Also both Randy and his wife have an alibi, checked and confirmed by the LE. In the other words: yes, this shirt was a freaking coincidence, more so that the person in the footage wears black from head to toe.
