we really do believe that somebody still knows that this person is out there somebody knows who this person is they haven't yet come forward Terri Missy beaver he showed up at the church to lead the 5 a.m. camp gladiator session surveillance video shows someone dressed in tactical gear with a jacket marked police police say he broke into the church before beavers arrived then assaulted her and left her unresponsive a helmet and gloves helped hide the intruders identity assure you I knew who the killer was I rested with myself this is an extremely unusual situation for City of Midlothian we have a very very safe community Midlothian is about 26 miles away from Dallas it's a very small community and it's shocking that in a sheltered community of about 30,000 people there may very well be a killer walking amongst them she was inside the church not realizing the intruder was already inside and shortly thereafter she was murdered inside of the church she was a very loving mother of three loved her husband very much they were a great family we're very sad to lose her why is so much attention focused on this case of course Missy is young and beautiful she's a mother of some beautiful little girls your heart breaks to think of them being raised without their mother of all people to us children they're completely aware of what has happened my youngest one is nine but she seemed to be in the worst of her husband's a godly woman she was very passionate about changing people's lives with Fitness but what is really riveting about this to so many people is that if you look at the Beavers family they had it all their young try to they've got a beautiful family they have jobs they seemed happy in their community their staunch members at the cowboy church down the street there everything so many people want to be I don't think she was at the wrong place at the wrong time I feel like someone was after and why I don't know why so often when women are murdered or assaulted the first question is well why was she there well actually that is irrelevant as to fly Missy Bevers was at the Midlothian church at 4 o'clock in the morning but I'll tell you why Missy was at the church that morning because she regularly teaches a 5 a.m. gladiator boot camp style aerobics class being here on the ground in front of this very quiet Church in this extremely rural community it feels almost eerie thinking about 45 year old Missy Bevers who came to this church early in the morning to conduct her exercise class that she'd been doing many times before thinking that she was safe inside this church Missy gets there around 4:16 a.m. imagine the picture it's still dark outside you can't see it's been intermittently raining the sky is dark the wind is blowing outside the church typically her class was held outdoors but on this day because of the weather it was moved inside the church 4:16 a.m. and the killer was waiting there's a door with a window broken out and also the the door latch has been broken windows broken out here on the side of the church and then also on the back of the church police are saying that the suspect was likely inside the church wrecking the place vandalizing everything for a full 30 minutes before Missy ever showed up the perp gets into the church after 3:00 a.m. and is spotted on surveillance video sauntering it's really the only accurate way I can describe it what we're hoping is that somebody who you know may see that gate it may trigger something in their mind you know of course we've got the the police attire of the police garb it's been described in various ways and make a couple that information with other knowledge they had of specific people looking in cabinets closing cabinets not pilfering through to try to find something to still but just wandering up and down the halls it kind of changed my opinion when I initially saw it the other day I felt like it was had a more effeminate gait women walk and however when I saw it this afternoon just it was a more lengthy video so you're able to get more of the person's gait and their mannerisms look at the video the person has a very distinct walk there's just a very distinct mannerism about this person who should be a very apparent to somebody in it it appears that care a little bit more masculine in these scenes I can't tell if the person is a man or a woman and this person appears somewhat tipsy and like they're under the influence possibly of something you'll see them touch the wall just kind of just walking through the hallway and it's not a very normal minded person so the killer arrives well before Missy then goes to the area that she will go to as well almost as if waiting in ambush in that particular area where the perpetrator knows she's going to set up her audio equipment the investigators are trying to put together play a puzzle we haven't yet established definitively the gender and suspect you know they went to a lot of you know it's a great effort to conceal her identity and so far without definitive information on the gender it could be my open about race we you know appears just like you've seen in the video it appears that their lighter skin again we can't definitively say what race they are we don't believe them to be a dark-skinned person Carlton State University criminology professor GM Cox says over two dozen investigators are working the case the FBI has joined in to I think it's very interesting okay so I looked at the video there's clearly planning this is not a haphazard crime again at this at this point without a strong suspect focus anything is on the table 3:58 am the mystery person is seen in the hallways of the local church about 4:00 a.m. missy arrives with her gear to set up for her class then the video mysteriously goes to black around 5:00 a.m. missy students arrived to find a horrifying scene she's been murdered cops find broken glass on the floor nothing is missing Missy's husband Brandon is baffled it was a shoddy amount of clothing to look like some top of an enforcement officer it wasn't tactical real tactical clothes and Jeremy says not just anyone can buy a cop uniform first thing we're gonna do is ask you for credentials and then after you present your credentials of police security constable Sheriff that gives you whatever authority to buy what you need the real cops aren't revealing a motive for murder they originally thought Missy surprised a burglar but are no longer convinced that's what happened that is from crime watch DLE it certainly looks like the individual took time to learn the territory got dressed into a uniform Branden beavers mother says her son has paid frequent trip to the police department since his wife's death which according to the search warrant was caused by a head wound inflicted by an unknown instrument based on what this video surveillance shows you can take the perpetrator and compare for instance their height to say a doorframe that the perp is standing beside and you can calculate with an inch how tall the perpetrator is forensic video reconstruction is complete it's given us a height range for the suspect from possibly five foot two to five foot seven you can't figure out their weight you can even figure out their shoe size that's a very detailed description of the killer evil you know they're evil right now I'm just in the anger phase I want to find that person I want to look at them in the face I want him to die it's been very frustrating to be quite honest with you it's it's food you know we want an arrest as bad as anybody in this case we want to bring that sense you know of safety back to the community and resolve this for the family of what is our community public so you know we'll continue to work until that's done a lot of us including myself really feel that she was targeted when I think and think about this the only thing I can think of is you know I could see where a woman may be jealous of Missy that was from NBC v Dallas she was a companion we enjoyed fishing we definitely enjoyed going to the beach we spent a lot of time at the ocean we we've been together for 20 years and we've managed to keep it you know held together all this time Michaela's new show on HLN has it all congratulations on your damn show girl she's got it you I primetime justice with Ashleigh Banfield weeknights at 8:00 Eastern starting October 17 HLA it was well known that Bevers taught an early morning fitness camp at Creekside Church of Christ segi the suspect broke into the church before Bevers arrived and roamed the church's hallways then assaulted her who is this cloak killer and why Missy wisely Midlothian PD have called in a team of crack Digital analysts and they will take every footstep every movement we see that the perp is right-handed we will determine even about their hands the size clothing they're wearing maybe to figure out who is the killer we've also learned some additional information regarding the physical description of the suspect fin forensic video reconstruction is complete it's given us a height range for the suspect from approximately five foot two to five foot seven we hope this information will help us to sift through leads and eliminate you know suspects and information that comes in that's well outside of that range in fact they even go back to the scene of the crime late at night and retrace the killer's footsteps in order to create a comprehensive and very detailed description of Missy Bevers murderer the last remaining lead involves a car that pulls into the SWF a sporting goods parking lot there Parks 22 a.m. they're seen pulling into the parking lot and leaving just a few minutes later we believe that cars of 2010 to 2012 Nissan Altima it's light and color possibly silver it's hard to tell us you remember it was raining that morning let me emphasize though we don't have any reason whatsoever to believe that this car it's driver or in any way involved in the murder of Missy Bevers one month after the murder of Missy beaver Midlothian police say they still have no suspect the search for a light colored Nissan caught on camera near the scene that morning they say it's simply an effort to check every clue this is the last lead has been exhausted from the video camera see the majority of tips from the public have focused on the killer's distinct gait seen in the church surveillance video police tell us new analysis shows the killer is between 5 2 and 5 7 but even advanced software couldn't determine the person to wait or their gender at first we were told the church did not have video surveillance outside but we have now learned based on our own investigation that the church does have video surveillance outside but intermittent working sometimes not working other times it was dark that night it was rainy stormy picked up very little outside at this point without a strong suspect to focus anything is on the table Wow police haven't ruled out any suspects they say they have confirmed husband Brennan Bevers alibi attorney and former police officer Pete Schulte says anyone close to the victim has likely been checked out we're going to make sure they can eliminate those particular people as suspects and they start to broaden their search and that just takes time investigator strategies as will likely shift to make sure every possibility unlike many homicides Missy's body was found fairly quickly after her murder how do we know that because her gladiator boot camp aerobic student showed up for their 5:00 a.m. workout class so she's murdered a little after 4:00 a.m. they get there a little before 5:00 a.m. so her body has only been lying there say 45 minutes max before it's discovered that's important why is that important because the sooner you reach a body the more likely it is you're going to get forensic clues from that body just because it's been a month doesn't necessarily mean that they're not close to getting a suspect in this case it just means that they're gonna have to keep digging keep going on longer until they make an arrest Marcia Tucker Missy's mother-in-law I cannot even imagine having to tell Missy's girls that their mom is gone one child as young as eight years old our prayers have been with you and your whole family please and know that I'd like to find out what kind of a person Missy was well yes he was uh she was very goal-driven and driven I mean for her to get up at that time of morning and she did that throughout the week to you know go teach people and she was loved that she just loved it she was always going to go with her girl you know loser in sports and you know going here and there and read about her going to teach aerobics so early in the morning well of course I mean you know anybody would be I mean go to work and that early in the morning yeah I mean you just you can't help you know but having some concern that she was trustworthy you know and thinking that everybody else was everyone take a listen to the sisters theory a lot of us including myself really feel that she was targeted when I think and think about this the only thing I can think of is you know I could see where a woman may be jealous of missing they stole they put fear in our hearts they changed these girls lives aneesa's lives they will never have a mother you know help them with their wedding day help them with her prom boyfriends they will never have that that person took this from them from us that is from nbc5 Dallas that is Missy's sister and law with the theory that this could the killer could be a jealous wife ratha hurt time is running out if your son used risperdal have increased breast tissue had breast surgery or gynecomastia call 1-800 morning express with robin meade weekdays at 6:00 on HLN not a very normal minded person got dressed into a uniform she was inside the church not realizing the intruder was already inside but she was murdered inside of the church I knew who the killer was person has a very distinct wall cuz I dress for myself many legal eagles believe that Missy was murdered with the hammer a hammer sometimes described as a pry bar or a crowbar initially that you see the perpetrator swinging casually as they're wandering up and down the wall the halls of the church and another reason people believe that that is the murder weapon is because Missy died of multiple puncture wounds puncture wounds to the head and the chest now if it had been a knife we would expect to hear them described as stab wounds but instead they are described by authorities as puncture wounds that is consistent with the hammer or a pry bar or crowbar being the murder weapon the last remaining lead involved a car is into the SWF a sporting-goods parking lot for parsley 2:00 a.m. they're seen pulling into the parking lot and leaving just a few minutes later we believe that course of 2010 to 2012 nissan altima it's light and feller possibly silver it's hard to tell us remember let me emphasize that we don't have any reason whatsoever to believe that this car it's driver or in any way involved in the murder of Miss people in the interest to followed up on every possible lead this is the last leaf has been exhausted from the video campuses this is actually a major breakthrough in this case I want to see the car again as Steven Becker with Robson forensic is telling us his analysis whose car is this and why are they less than a mile away from Missy's murder scene go ahead Steven unfortunately he can't make out the license plates in this video that would give us a positive identification as to who's vehicle that would have been why why can't this be enhanced I mean can't NASA help us is there no way to enhance this to get even one character one letter one number off the tag that's a great point Nancy a lot of people in a lot of movies you'll see they enhance the video and suddenly miraculously see objects that were previously obscured in the video what you have here is you have a highly reflective license plate specialized cameras called license plate recognition cameras systems can identify license plates both in the dark and in high light conditions because what they do is they focus in on the area of the license plate and they use lighting with the camera many people believe based on the gate or the saunter on the perpetrator that it is a woman however if it is the woman it defies every rule of homicide method and assessment it's very rare that a woman will kill another woman by bludgeoning his first communicating prior to your camps no I mean she got there pretty good remember that one no when did you guys become yesh did you yes every day for the last time every day for the last ten months she has made it a point to text me at work that she loves me and have a good day honey ha ha treat your friend yours well maybe it tickle gear may Sunday October 23rd 9 p.m. I'll see you there friend police say this person in black tactical gear killed be reversed breaking into the Creekside Church of Christ before she showed up to teach an early fitness class thinking someone she was someone was stalking her now maybe it was just a no it's just a crazy person you can't make sense out of crazy I don't know if it's business related or some kind of jealousy I've pretty much exhausted every scenario and every avenue that I can think of of who could have done this I'm discouraged to the point where I truly want to just reach out to this individual myself as odd as it may sound I can I can truly forgive you for what you've done but only if you come forward turn yourself in do what's right you know don't live the rest of your life with this on your heart because it will eat you like cancer the same applause with my family we need closure this is going to eat us eat us alive for many years to come that's what I'm Fox 4 KDFW this was no burglary gone wrong nothing was stolen from the church in fact Missy's iPad her cell phone her purse was all sitting in her car still the car has been taken inventory and returned to her husband Brandon Bevers so clearly it holds no significant clue at this point none of the family friends or coworkers of Missy Bevers are considered suspects despite various theories circulating through social media none of the people named in our affidavits are now suspects several family members seem to also be at the center of the public's phocion focus I just want to be clear that the fever's family including mr. beavers and his father have been cooperative forthcoming and provided detailed alibis that have all been corroborated through independent sources Missy beavers had some communication with at least nine people leading up to the day she died police used a search warrant to access those nine and the phone calls and text messages they made could any of them be tied to the person seen in this video until Missy's killer is caught I will stop short of saying that any person is absolutely excluded but to be clear none of Missy's family at the focus of this investigation late today investigators told CBS 11 none of those nine are defined as suspects now we have nothing to substantiate any connection between them and a murder suspect assistant chief Kevin Johnson said today we've learned a lot about Missy and her husband Brandon's relationship we've learned most of this through search warrants secret search warrants that we obtained they reveal that there was a lot of strife in the marriage that could be argued about every marriage especially when you have children and both partners are working to support the family a family and greet embrace the community came in supporting you guys you guys embodied the spirit of Mo ah Brandon Bevers told the crowd his wife was passionate about fitness and well respected by the students she talked I wasn't terribly good at praising my wife for what she did that's that's one of my regrets we learned that there was a financial crisis going on in the home a lot of financial trouble not only that the search warrant reveals that there were intimate relationships or relationship between one of the married individuals Missy or her husband Brandon and other people clearly indicating that police believe somebody was having an affair that certainly muddies the water police confirmed beavers 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 most people in society they don't have their baggage strung out in public like this but the problems that we've encountered I would have to say 80% of society deals with the same problem in our particular case we were dealing with our problems and we were you know attempting to overcome and that's that's what kept us together that's what I'm Fox 4 KDFW we know that Missy was a devoted mother to or luma girls we know that her life was her family she decided to become physically fit and for a 40 some-odd year old mother of three she was very fit and transformed on an unimaginable level she was a her body pretty well sold her abilities in transforming and helping other people and these boot can't work out she was devoted to helping other people improve their lives through Ries coping your bodies and their self-esteem completely devoted would spend for about 10:30 to 1 o'clock every day in a gym religiously never missed her classes and spent most of her days either working out doing boot camp are driving her girls to this practice in that practice and disappointment in that appointment when I finally arrived in Biloxi around 7:30 which was later than I was supposed to be there you know I spoke to her and she said goodnight and it was still about 8 o'clock and I called her anyway probably around 9 or 9:30 to tell her I loved her she was already half asleep and that's the last time I spoke to her sure we could have stacked these tires or put effective relief nasacort guarantee or your money back weekend Express with Lynn Smith weekends at 7:00 on HLN grainy video of a 2 a.m. mystery car emerging a bizarre twist and the Missy Bevers murder investigation multiple friends of Missy saying Missy reaching out to them from beyond the grave and tonight is Missy's killer playing a cruel game taunting friends family police this as Missy's husband breaks his silence on their marital woes after cops allege intimate relationships outside their marriage lead investigators tell NBC News someone created another Facebook page and Missy Bevers named a fake and then systematically started making friend requests targeting Missy students from the camp gladiator workout classes she led that's NBC's Today friends of Missy's suddenly start getting facebook messages from Missy after her murder the first thing I want to do Chris Fargo is here what are the messages what is being sent from mrs. account to her friends well friends and miss Gibbons things they've been getting Facebook friend requests from a profile that has been created under her name obviously well after her own death now wait a minute how bizarre is that your friend is murdered brutally and then suddenly you begin getting facebook friend requests from her that must have really upset her friends and they were also who else were they Chris Fargo with Daily Mail calm who were they friends were some of them her exercise students to go to her boot camp exactly it was a whole bunch of people she knew it wasn't just friends there's also some students and some acquaintances it was a rather large group of people who've been receiving these friend requests so how many do you think there are Chris that are getting friend requests from Missy we know that it's at least over 30 and it's so many that police had to finally make a comment because it becomes such a problem the Creekside church sitting in Midlothian is in a very very rural area why is that significant means that fewer people would have seen either intentionally or inadvertently the killer there are no big buildings around it there's not surveillance across the street from a restaurant or a pub or a shopping center or a private home it causes another problem because the cell phone data there's only one cell phone tower feeding into that area will that help or hinder the investigation CBS 11 sources say detectives will now be getting help from the NYPD and its high-tech tracking devices it's unclear specifically what technology they'll be using but the NYPD has been known to operate stingrays according to the American Civil Liberties Union the Department has relied on stingrays in at least a thousand cases the device also known as cell-site simulators mimics cell phone towers it will automatically connect to the Stingray without any control of me the user and what the Stingray then does is it mines data off the phone very quickly including the serial number as well as other data which can be then used to identify who the phone belongs to for police officer and criminal defense attorney Pete Schulte says if investigators do in fact use a stingray they'd focus on the church with a mystery person in tactical gear attacked Missy and also the Beavers neighborhood if somebody keeps coming back to the crime scene which happens a lot in murder cases they're gonna be able to identify that person because of the data that's coming from the Stingray the ACLU says Texas is one of dozens of states where law enforcement agencies have the technology highly controversial because they can gather not just suspect information but also data from the phones of people who just happened to be in the area devices intimates that was very invasive and nobody can do anything to stop it when it's activated cell phones will automatically connect you don't have anybody driving by the church at that time of the morning very little traffic going by so all that combines to make it a much harder case to crack you're not gonna get an eyewitness let's just say that how did a local dry cleaner get in the middle of a murder investigation well I'll tell you how about 96 hours after Missy is found dead and the Creekside Church a myth Lothian her father-in-law her husband's father takes bloody clothes to a local dry cleaner the father-in-law was pretty forthcoming though he spoke to the media he gave a statement to police saying that their little dog got into an altercation a dog fight with a much bigger dog and actually died they rushed the dog to the vet and they got dog animal blood on their clothes we now know the scope of her friends that are receiving Facebook messages from Missy after her death is expanding people that she saw or spoke to at the Austin Fitness convention the weekend before she's murdered are getting them people they go to her bootcamp class are getting them friends are getting them let me understand something Chris Fargo do police think they understand what's happening they really don't know it could be something as simple as a glitch maybe in deactivating her original accosting went wrong or it could be someone playing a horrifically ill and inappropriate joke or to be something even more sinister not only this we discover that her husband is speaking out Chris Fargo he is pretty convinced the killer is a woman yeah he is saying that he's really convinced as a woman and he's really convinced as someone that knew his wife and had something against her he points out the fact that when she was found she was still wearing her wedding ring and it clearly wasn't a robbery this person was clearly after his wife he believed so Missy Bevers was wearing her wedding band at the time she's murdered if the killer was intent on burglarizing or stealing why leave behind the wedding band could that looks like diamonds in it to me not only that her iPad or iPhone other items were left behind clearly this was no random burglary gone a right what do we know about the husband finally breaking his silence on their marital woes outlined by police including intimate relationships outside the marriage yeah I mean he's being very open about the fact that everything's being laid out right now he the fact that they are going through her correspondences they are investigating the fact that there may have been relationships with other men and he's also saying that he doesn't want to not be considered a person of interest in this case he wants everyone to be treated like a person of interest because he wants to get to the bottom of this and he wants them answered see me see me don't you with forensic video loop leads on HLN until mrs. killer is caught I will stop short of saying that any person is absolutely excluded I believe she was tired that was a shoddy amount of clothing to look like some top of a woman enforcement officer forensic video reconstruction is complete it's given us a height range for the suspect from approximately five foot two to five foot seven and now the police running out of leads in her murder what's so odd is that it seems to me of course the friends state that Missy is speaking from beyond the grave but it seems to me someone has hacked into her Facebook account and is taunting friends family and in effect police so how do you track down I mean who else would do that beside the killer who had clearly been following her on Facebook the whole time so how do we track that down when police try to go back and look at it it's not there anymore one person one of these friends got a screen grab of the friend request from Missy after she's murdered there's an ongoing investigation so the first thing the police did was go to Facebook with a preservation warrant and say we want you to preserve all data related to this count the police do have everything it seems to mages logically speaking that this is the killer doing this why what sick thrill when Missy's killer get out of taunting her friends and family by sending them messages from her Facebook after she's been murdered well it's a very very sick thing to do it's based in jealousy it's based in a lot of sick meanness but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the killer it could be somebody who wants to be her and is pretending to be her and taking over her identity also but at the end of the day at someone who was very very disturbed he just said something interesting dr. Charles Sophie about taking over her identity um this is someone obviously that followed her moves that knew and she was working out where she what where she was working out who her friends were she had just been away for the weekend in Austin at a fitness convention and now you said those words taking over her life even taking over her Facebook friends absolutely and it's not it's not uncommon where someone will step into someone else's life they've been tracking them for a while and they become them and if they're really disturbed they really believe they are that person and then there's LinkedIn some guy a married man had been sending and receiving very flirtatious messages on LinkedIn back and forth between him and Missy Bevers which were immediately deleted Missy's family has been speaking out now interesting her own blood family has said very little her stepmother-in-law however that's now written to open letters to the killer and i find them very revealing for instance in one of them she refers to the killer in your shoes too big for you which to me implies that the killer she believes is a woman as police have suggested she also goes on to say they're on to you wouldn't you rather turn yourself in as opposed to getting arrested in front of your family I still believe that the police are leaning on the husband because he knows the network the tree of people that his wife was connected to and perhaps he knows who she was having an affair with her she knew who he was having an affair with and maybe it was disgruntled partner or husband or wife of whoever these people were having affairs but if you look at the stepmother and laws open letters to the killer it's highly suggestive that the Beavers family has a pretty good idea who the killer is Oh during an evening church service 38 year-old Steve Robards fell ill
