TX - Terri 'Missy' Bevers,45, murdered in church/person in SWAT gear,18 Apr 2016 #11

[Momoffourboys]

I have followed a few cases on here, but this is my first post....
I really don't want to think BB is involved, but a lot of things said bother me. I've been married 12 years & we have hit a few "rock bottoms". IMO, BB speaks of MB as a distant friend. (I.E. Loves fitness, changed lives, if I would've been on boat could've been days before reached, poor dog fight, etc.) It seems like a lot of missed opportunities to acknowledge someone you spent decades with. If my husband posts a pic with my kids holding flowers (at this tender age & then I assume someone said smile) the day I am put in the ground after being murdered with a post about being thankful, I will haunt him for the rest of his life!!!
With that being said...
I think AT had no clue until wife mentioned trash stolen & he posts about it. I think he is trying to remain normal bc he is wondering about CT. I even think he is even alluding to this on the 4/27 status on FB where he tags her. JMO...

I agree with your entire post. 100%.

And congrats on first post.

IMO: I think SWAT gear was used for several reasons 1) as a disguise and 2) to be able to eliminate having to chase Missy around that mouse trap of a building, should she flee. She would have most likely seen some of the doors opened so an officer wouldn't be care for concern- his presence could be justified.

The gear might also protect the perp from broken glass and from Missy!
The broken glass might ultimately be found on perp's belongings, those little fragments are hard to get rid of, imo.

I think the perp was doing two things: 1) looking for the security video recorder and 2) getting into the rooms where the killing would occur. For instance, on the last segment of the video we see the perp cross the hall and start breaking the glass in the door to enter another room. I would not be surprised to learn that the auditorium ("sanctuary") was locked and that is why they had to break that window.

JMO

That brings up a great point. Could that be why there is no video of the interaction of them from the time she approaches? He found the video room and destroyed the recording apparatus before it unfolded?

 

[Stephenie]

The warrant mentions they dumped MB phone and Ipad, BB's too. There was a warrant needed for MB's phone. Since we haven't seen one for BB does that mean he gave it up voluntarily?

Its a small detail. But it does show BB was willing and helpful with them in that regard. Had nothing to hide or confident they wouldn't find something if there was.

 

[SuzDuJour]

Except that if this was a targeted killing, then a certain amount of planning went into it.....we think. Now, I guess it would be possible that someone checked MB's schedule, discovered she would arrive at the church around 4:30, then broke in before that, became familiar with the surroundings, killed MB and then split. That actually might have happened. But it appears to be better planned than that, which would require someone to stalk MB ahead of time and know her routine and some of the layout of the church.

Perhaps he had met her there before classes, if married, he would've needed an excuse to be out early. If he also had a 5:00am class, it would a good meeting place at that hour.

 

[CoverMeCagney]

She did and I think Tricia also said it was okay. It looks like the only unclear name is that of C Tucker. We need to figure out which C Tucker is named in the warrant.

And W Houtz

 

[Littletipsy]

I am going to forget most of what we "learned" from the SW dump yesterday and go back to my theories that I firmed up a week or more ago, developed when we were watching the videos.

IMOO......

I think the perp we are looking for has LE experience---that could be present cop, former cop, reserve cop, or military training.

I think the perp is not young and inexperienced. (i.e., I discount the impetuous teenager theories).

I think the perp would have to be fit enough to (potentially) chase MB down, tackle her, and hold her down long enough to hit her in the head, face and chest with the hammer (or other implement).

I think the perp is familiar with the church, but not so familiar that s/he knows where to find the video recording equipment.

I think the perp is familiar with MB's routine.

I think the event was carried out with the precision of a military special-forces operation.


Now, only one person mentioned yesterday fits that profile, as far as I can tell. Not saying it is him, not saying it is not him. But that's the profile.

Again, MOO.

I completely agree, however, he could have hit her in the head from behind initially and she wouldn't have been able to fight back.

google tactical gear - LOTS of it available.

what if the perp already had the tactical gear already from training?

 

[Bill Carson]

That brings up a great point. Could that be why there is no video of the interaction of them from the time she approaches? He found the video room and destroyed the recording apparatus before it unfolded?

Yes and no. We have the video we have, so I presume they didn't reach the DVR. But it is possible that the DVR was uploading to the cloud and they did destroy the physical unit.

Also, I think it is very possible that the perp destroyed some of the cameras as they were working. So the camera looking down the Dutch door hallway, for instance, may have been out of commission by the time MB arrived.

it was stated in many threads ago that LE said there was a struggle...

True. But they would have had to get awfully close without her suspecting she was about to get hit on the head. Oh, this brings up another thought that deserves it's own post....

 

[Snow Flower]

It was probably just a horrible coincidence, but when I saw the pic on here yesterday of AJ being on top of a woman in a self-defense class it gave me cold chills. It was exactly how I pictured MBs murder based on the wounds and where they were located on the body. Someone looking her in her face and thrusting the weapon in her head and chest. Someone familiar with that tactic of self-defense may be the killer. JMO

 

[2Hope4]

BUT, if Missy knew the perp, and even in the police attire, the perp spoke, she would know the voice. So again, that's a huge risk to take that she wouldn't have a weapon, or call real police. The gear would most likely insure the perp didn't have injuries after the attack, because each of her blows would have been in areas that were protected by the gear. Sadly probably no bite wounds either. If she was trained in self defense, the eyes, throat, groin, being primary targets, those were protected by the gear.

Still with breaking into the church, there was no way for the perp to know if Missy would see outside damage and call police from her vehicle without entering the church. So unless that video was from AFTER the murder, it seems odd.

Can't remember, is there a timestamp visible to us of when the video was taken? Could most of the damage to the church have been after the murder? Risk again if others showed up to her class early. Could she have been meeting someone at the church for an affair before the class? I mean she was there extra early for a class.

Praying for an arrest soon!!!

i readily admit that i am not techno savvy- but aren't most surveillance systems wireless with an online upload now? (i've read stories of hackers watching people in their homes because of this new development)

 

[MargeGunderson]

well if the idea of the tactical gear was at least partially for a disguise then it would be a really stupid choice if you already own it. It's not something people tend to own so it would narrow you down as a suspect pretty quickly. If he already owned it and wore it anyway that would seem to suggest he didn't know the church had surveillance cameras or was unknown to Missy and therefore knew he wouldn't be someone the police would look at automatically in the course of the investigation.

 

[txdoodah]

Why the photo of RB in pretend (drawn in) makeup, for example? Weird. (Can't remember if that photo is on his or his wife's Facebook, I think it's on his wife's.)

Wife's FB page, says posted April 26 4:44am. Says, "My husband is so pretty". I thought it was an "interesting" post too.

 

[Kairi'sMom]

Hey everyone. I've been lurking for several threads, following some of your hinky meters , following my own, and hoping LE will find this murderer quickly so her family can get some justice. My first impression was that it's so similar to the Seivers case in many ways.

Besides MB's husband and in-laws (one of whom is too jolly too soon and therefore on my list of possible suspects), I've checked out AT and spouse. There's a couple other people I found interesting info on but I'm waiting to see if any other official LE info pops up like we've seen with the recent LE warrant list.

Anyhow, can someone with picture enhancing skills take a look at the facial profile of this person beginning at 1:07 in the enhanced video @ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSWD1TvaGZ4&feature=youtu.be
Does anyone here have the ability to clear up/enhance one of those frames? It looks like the person's nose sticks out pretty far from his/her mouth to me. A second or so later, it looks like light is reflecting off the largish nose or maybe it's on the helmet. The video isn't clear enough. So frustrating. But there at 1:07 that nose looks pretty large and I can't tell how much is nose and how much is light reflecting on or behind it.

Anyway, I hope it's something someone here with skills can use. I'm going to continue lurking and hoping MB's family gets justice quickly.

 

[Littletipsy]

True. But they would have had to get awfully close without her suspecting she was about to get hit on the head. Oh, this brings up another thought that deserves it's own post....

I was envisioning maybe he/she was staged by a door so when she entered he/she ambushed her from behind. This won't work, however, because I was just reminded that LE said there had been a "struggle."

 

[liltexans]

it was stated in many threads ago that LE said there was a struggle...

Officials later declared her dead — after finding signs of a struggle and evidence of forced entry, police began investigating her death as a homicide.

But from what we know. It was not a bullet. It was puncture wounds caused by the tools we see him with. That would imply an up close battle. One that a tipsy person might not win with the fit Missy.

LE has gone out of their way to say they were keeping the COD secret, so unless they've reversed themselves, I would not take what is public now to be the COD.
