The CG group in general was an "eyesore" to that person. They wanted them to find MB "crucified" at the church. They "cleansed" the church by their action. Somebody knows, but is bound by priest-penitent privilege. LE was still tipped off by a person close to person with knowledge. Bevers family.. is not involved.

For clarification:
The "Church of Christ" in that above website (
http://www.churchofchrist-tl.org/about.html ) is a group of individuals who were/are Mormons, but shortened their name from "The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" (or Mormon church) to distinguish a difference of opinion from
some of the Mormon beliefs.
This website ( http://church-of-christ.org/who ) is an explanation of the beliefs church of Christ who were never affiliated with Mormanism.
These Christians believe we can "reproduce in contemporary times the church originally established on Pentecost, A.D. 30. and strive to adhere to the teachings of Christ's original church as revealed to us by the BIBLE."
The second group is more close to the beliefs of the Creekside church, with one exception that I see...instrumental music used in worship services.
With respect, if a member of Creekside disagreed with MB using that facility because they believed it was a "disgrace" to the church, all they had to do was request that CG find another facility. If one person didn't like CG using the facility, there probably were others, and COC members, ministers, elders, deacons do listen to the membership on this sort of thing and try to keep from offending others.
Killing would be much more of a disgrace than the eyesore of the CG group.
Also COC minsters and/ or elders do not hear "confessions," in the sense of "
priest-penitent privilege." The COC believes that the ministers and elders role is to teach, guide, and "shepherd" the flock, but that they have no more special privilege or esteem than other members. If a person has sinned an sincerely desires to be restored, all they have to do is state this and request the prayers of the congregation. They do not have to divulge their particular "sin." COC members believe it is not their place to judge the persons sincerity and that forgiveness is up to GOD alone according to the persons true repentance.
