TX - Terri 'Missy' Bevers,45, murdered in church/person in SWAT gear,18 Apr 2016 #25

[Seriously?]

You are probably right but it must be really recent because the attorney would surely advise him to shut the heck up and stop blabbing in front of the press.

No kidding. But that magazine spread will go far.......wonder if there's an exclusive agreement with that magazine. If so, it'll happen again!

Male reporter on Nancy Grace: "Police confirm Bevers' husband Brandon knew about her infidelity in the relationship and he told police about it. Police extracted deleted information from Missy Bevers' phone -- information that confirmed an affair."

Thank you for your post, Scout.

What I find unnerving is that it is difficult for the deceased to defend themselves & easy for others (in general) to point fingers. In this case, the public that points a finger in one direction should remember that there's four pointing in the other direction.

Marriages are complex & I think that SWATperp is not someone MB was "intimate" with. It is my personal theory that SWATperp could be someone who objected to her lifestyle overall--including imposing their own judgements about her "intimacies". Maybe SWATperp didn't have all the facts & certainly didn't apply critical thinking. They were myopic & one-sided....bizarrely loyal & naive in their perspective. Gullible.
And in that vein, I think SWATperp will be terribly saddened & disillusioned when the whole story unravels. And it will unravel. Karma will come knocking at your door soon & don't believe for one minuto what the Press is saying about LE being "stymied"...nope, they just play in' with your head!

RIP MB.....a life taken too short by a pathetic vigilante wannabe'. May your girls be protected.

All moo

We can always depend on NG and her guests to either tell us what we already know (item 1) or to get things factually wrong (item 4).

Yes, and honestly, salacious relationships sell.

TasteOfHoney, let me offer another example to better illustrate the "optional plural" and its intent to refer to "one or more":

In the AT&T SW, on p.3 and in section 2, you'll find the phrase "This information is believed to be imperative in locating a suspect(s)..."

This is coming from the same source (MPD) as the other SW which used the term "relationship(s)." The MPD clearly wants to express that they're looking for one or more suspects. They don't know how many suspects are involved. So they want to give themselves some wiggle room that there might be just one suspect, or there might be more than one. So better to phrase it as they did, instead of saying, "locating a suspect."

Same thing with the prior "relationship(s)". They were aware of one, and they mentioned it specifically - the conversations with CW that began in January and continued up until MB's death and turned flirty and familiar and intimate in nature. But at that early point in the investigation, they didn't know what else they were going to uncover. So rather than paint themselves into a corner and mislead someone into thinking there had been a singular external relationship to the marriage, they put the optional plural in there.

Did MB have more than one external relationship? We have nothing to indicate that she did. But we can discuss the one that we do know of, although it would be unfair to speculate that it was physical as there is no evidence to support that. Do I judge or shame Missy for the relationship with CW? Absolutely not. And what is considered "flirty, familiar, intimate" has a wide latitude of subjectivity, so it might not be nearly as intimate to us as it might have been to LE who read it.

But bottom line, we have documentation of some kind of relationship on MB's behalf, and the speculation isn't to judge her but to figure out if the murder was somehow connected. That's fair to do. What isn't fair, IMHO, is to accuse her husband of indiscretions that have no basis whatsoever that we know of, other than local rumor mill. And there is nothing more untrustworthy than a local rumor mill. MHO.

Respectfully, I disagree. This is your opinion and interpretation. LE would be remiss in not considering any external relationships outside of the marriage, including the husband. One of the many scenarios is that the perp is a woman. IMO that could mean a jealous wife of someone having a relationship with MB or a jealous lover of BB who wants the wife out of the way or a jealous stalker, or a competitive co-worker, who knows? but any of the mentioned could be the perp.

Of course, money will loosen lips too. Guarantee you that/all the People issue (s) doesn't sit long at a beauty shop for miles and miles around Midlothian.

I am in no way implying that it was illegal. I believe that they had an open marriage. Not that it makes a difference. I was really trying to say if they know who she had been in contact with, that might help. I too think it was LE that took the garbage

Open marriage is a deliberate lifestyle choice. It is against both of their religious beliefs. Having said that, everyone makes mistakes; God forgives. That doesn't make it an open marriage.

Or even whomever alerted to the messages? Not named. Female.

 

[lonetraveler]

Feel it's important to point out that Ms. Bevers' family of origin has not commented, to my knowledge. May be wrong. The family comments are by her in-laws, right?

Thanks, I'm aware that the 'family' who have commented are the in-laws and not MB's family.

THAT is the truth!!

:winkaway:

 

[rodee34]

That's what I heard.

They were members of the Cowboy Church weren't they? My cousin is a cowboy preacher, unordained, not in Midlothian. They make up their own rules. Personal experience.

It appears that you must now subscribe to connect to the Dallas Morning News website. I have been wondering why they allowed free access when even small weekly newspapers now require a subscription to access. Not only did I click on the Missy Bevers article but also clicked on another story which I was interested in. All I get on both , is a message to request subscription. Can't say I'm surprised but I am sad. That's a good source down the drain.

Right! I also think that BB gave a release to the Nancy Grace coverage shown tonight.

A lot of emphasis on people judging MB... and you're even including the perp in that. Isn't it possible that no one is or was judging her at all? She could have been killed by a burglar. She could have been killed by someone who stalked her but didn't know anything about her, other than she presented an opportunity to kill someone and get away with it.

But many are just convinced that because she had some kind of online relationship, that her death may be connected to it. That's a leap.

I have to think that we're dealing with something of a double standard here. If a man were murdered under mysterious circumstances, are we so quick to delve into his activities and speculate that the murder happened because of something he did that he shouldn't have been doing?

Take the Dan Markel case, for example. Shot in the head out of the blue, and I don't recall much if any speculation based on his own activities. No, they talked about how much he loved his kids. And they turned their suspicions on a woman... his ex-wife.

Double standard, if you ask me.

Will there be a transcript?

I heard it.

Open marriage is a deliberate lifestyle choice. It is against both of their religious beliefs. Having said that, everyone makes mistakes; God forgives. That doesn't make it an open marriage.

Just generally speaking, I certainly wouldn't rule out the possibility that someone was in an open relationship merely because they identified as Christian, even if they identified as devout. Adults are pretty good at compartmentalizing and finding ways to define their morality and personal codes as they see fit. I'd say that Christians are no more or less likely to have affairs than atheists.

They may but how many people had been in the location in the days and weeks before the murder. Could that make it hard to prove? Just wondering

perhaps it would depend what type of dna it was. jmo blood/skin under MB's fingernails would be conclusive. Perhaps some other types of DNA too. jmo

No, I disagree in this case. If BB had been murdered in the CoC by a perp dressed in SWAT gear, I'd pretty much want to see his phone records too.

me too!

Mouth slobber from the ski mask or baklava. Maybe spit on Missy or sweat dripped.

I don't know what you're disagreeing with, because your post did not address a single thing I actually said.
