Hmmmmm..... Pipe bomb anyone?

 

[anonypotomous]

Unless maybe they have a good idea who the perp is, and/or found new evidence, hence ATF and Rangers coming in.

Here's a technical but interesting article about how these fitness companies avoid liability for these seemingly dangerous workouts.

Thank you for that article, Bill. Someone left permanently disabled from a boot camp injury could very well hold very strong feelings against the instructor, especially if the instructor/business couldn't be held liable for damages.

Maybe I am missing something but why has the ATF been brought in?

Even curiouser...what is the "unnamed" federal agency also brought in ( guessing FBI)?

Very interested in the cause of death. I have seen it described as traumatic injuries all the way down to signs of a struggle.

I'm wondering if she was shot and it was staged to look like the cause of death was traumatic injuries so it would seem more like an interrupted burglary vs a planned hit. They might be using the dogs to see if the casing/s were discarded on the property, possibly even the bullet.

 

[Cryptic]

A hired hit would not know the whole layout of cameras unless they were very professional or took time to actually study the entire layout and know the exact time frame.

So this seems like the crime was committed by some local that just knew things and had some personal vendetta as well.

I agree with the personal vendetta probability.

As a side note though, the consummately skilled and extrememely professional hitman is a pretty rare bird. Rather, most hitman are amateurs and accept the "contract" on impulse, while in a drug or alcohol induced haze, or because they really want to impress person "X"- and nobody has bigger "street creds" than a hitman.

In short, I can see it being the work of an amateur hitman who read Soldier of Fiction one too many times.

I'll tell you what, they just did a very short piece on ABC News just now and showed video of Missy doing pushups. She was a VERY strong lady. Someone would have had to have taken her by surprise to hurt her, because if she saw someone coming for her, I can imagine she could fight and/or run very fast out of there.

Some articles have noted her body and surrounds showed signs of struggle/trauma. I doubt she went down without a fight. I also think her killer knew it'd go that way, hence the SWAT get up.

According to one of today's articles, "The ATF, Texas Rangers and Midlothian police returned to the church Wednesday afternoon where the ATF used a dog to search the interior and exterior of the church for gunshot residue or other explosive powders." So I guess this means there was a gun. (??)

bbm I wonder where the info on what the dogs were brought in for came from? Dogs are trained to sniff lots of different things. jmo It makes me think that the suspect was there for other reasons and she happened upon/him/her. ? This is baffling, jmo.

Excuse my British ignorance, I've never heard of the ATF in all the cases I've followed here. Google tells me it's the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives, is it unusual for them to be involved?

is she carrying a hammer in her hand ?

My vote is a hammer! Used to bust the glass to break in?

Before this is over, the killer is going to get a roundhouse kick to the face.

Texans don't cotton to* the ATF, ever since that little event that happened 23 years ago yesterday.

Yes it is quite unusual, especially for a case that was suppose to just be a burglary gone wrong.

 

[Gae]

Could the dogs be used, not for gunpowder or bombs, but to pick up the scent of the killer?

Ok gotcha, and thanks for the translation!

I've never heard of them so will have a proper google tomorrow, coming up to 1am here so it's bed time from me. Try not to run up too many pages for me to catch up on...

 

[whonos]

Are we supposed to discuss possible motives here? I think I might check out disgruntled customers. I could see someone following CG instructions about workouts, suffer a bad injury (back or knee), lose a job, life spirals downhill, and CG refused to take financial responsibility. Not saying this is the case, just an idea. Let me know if this is inappropriate to discuss.

The way it's written it seems to be the reporter/journalist opinion that the dogs were there for gun shot residue/explosives, I know in the subway jarod case the dog was brought in to sniff out electronics, which he did, so I am not sure why the dog was brought in at this point. But I found the sentence below to be new to me if true

bbm

A review of surveillance video recorded inside the church revealed the presence of another person inside the church an hour before Bevers' arrival.

The ATF is U.S govern and has a broader policy to allow search warrants or whatever for whomever they like.

So they have reach like the fbi. But they can also be allowed to get a warrant to search your home; Even if the only proof is that you buy loose / single cigarettes that are not being taxed.

Lol. This means that the ATF can pretty much investigate or guarantee warrants for a big crime by simply getting a broad warrant for a smaller crime committed.

Catch 22. Jmo
