TX - Terri 'Missy' Bevers,45, murdered in church/person in SWAT gear,18 Apr 2016- # 7

[SapphireSteel]

I don't actually see that anyone's judging BB rather than discussing him.

We do not know if the fishing trip to Miss was solitary or not but his language implied it was not solitary. Or at least, part of it that included pulling into driveways at Monday 3pm was not solitary because he used the word "We".

Direct quote: "they have...the rental car that we rented in Gulfport Miss and as a matter of fact when we pulled into driveway Monday 3pm I was in a car with Miss plates on"

Oh my goodness, if someone knows for a fact that the murderer is reading this thread, I am going to make a big assumption that they aren't going to tell us. But there's no way of know who is reading here. Right now there are 67 guests viewing this thread.

Yeah. And we don't know your true identity either liltexans. You could be a family member or LE or something. LOL

If I was a friend of Brandon's who went on the trip with him I would talk to the police and not the media. What's important at this point is helping LE find the truth and not satisfying the public's desire for information. That can come later.

Besides, If it's proven that Brandon was in MS at the time of the murder, there will be plenty of people who will say he hired a hit man so it doesn't mean he's not guilty. JMO

I'm pretty close to 100% positive Brandon was in MS as he says. Especially since he flew, the paper trail of evidence, not to mention the statements of his fishing buddies and other witnesses, would be extensive, and a lack of evidence would be seriously incriminating. There are indeed killers who are so stupid they wouldn't know that their alibi would be verified by police, but I don't think Brandon is stupid. I'm sure the police have already verified a good bit of his trip, and they may be serving subpoenas for records from the airline, hotel, etc., to get paper evidence from original sources.

And of course, assuming his alibi checks out, his physical presence in MS isn't proof that he wasn't involved. It's only proof that he didn't commit the deed himself.

I personally don't think he had anything to do with it, but I'll await further evidence before committing one way or the other.

I'm with you on that point. I'm also not convinced he knew there were cameras. IMO, he might well have thought he had total privacy inside the church there. Maybe he just plain didn't realize a church would have security cameras. He looks to me like someone who is just killing time while waiting for his victim.

If we didn't have the video, this would have looked a lot more like an interrupted burglary, with the broken doors and broken windows, and we would have no idea the perp had wandered around for a half hour not stealing anything while waiting for MB to arrive.

Bingo. If he would have simply spray painted the cameras upon arrival while carrying a big garbage bag in hand. Then this could have passed as a interrupted burglary. But the lingering which was filmed clearly showed that she was targeted.

Life insurance companies wouldn't hesitate to pay on a obvious interrupted burglary gone wrong.

But if the perp was hired. Then they obviously did too much of nothing on video for others to think this was truly a interrupted burglary. Jmo

I like Atasteofhoney's theory. I have asked myself who could leave their home at that hour and not be questioned by whoever they live with. Someone who regularly left early for CG workouts? Still they would have left home a bit earlier than that. So maybe it is someone who does not live with their significant other?? Someone who has not been dating all that long and they do not live together or a married couple and one of them has moved out.

Maybe Killer has a late night shift work job, and called in sick that night/early morning?

 

[HEY YOU!]

Ok. LE sees missy walking down the hall and she was found in that vacinity. But the same cameras that was catching perp throughout the hall suddenly didn't activate during the murder?

That makes me think he killed her in the room with the dutch doors. If I am reading the map that was posted correctly, the room with the dutch doors gave a clear view of Missy when she pulled her car up. She was on camera entering and then not seen on camera again which leads me to believe she was led/pushed pulled into that room and killed. Would explain why she did not appear on camera again shortly after entering building. I believe that dutch door room is adjacent to the door where she entered.

I hope that LE took the weekend off because they know they would have a busy week ahead. we can only hope.

Poor Missy.

 

[LongIslandDweller]

It seems to me that there are two primary theories of the case---

The first is that the perp on the video was there to burglarize or vandalize; that MB showed up at the wrong time; perp panicked, hit her over the head (like you see in the movies) as he was leaving; and got the heck out of Dodge.

The second is that MB was a target---that the perp was there specifically to kill her. This could be a hired hit with a professional killer; it could be a hired hit with a novice killer; it might not be a hired hit but the killer is the person who wants MB dead for some reason.

Now assuming those possibilities and leaning toward the targeted hit scenario, it strikes me as significant that the perp went to such lengths to get into the building and set up before MB arrived. That person was highly motivated. There was no turning back. There was no way for the person to back out and leave the building unnoticed if, say, MB had shown up with another person with her or something else had gone wrong.

I guess this seem significant to me because a professional killer would not want to be captured on video cameras, and would have an exit strategy so that s/he could "call the mission off" if something backfired.

Does that make sense?

All this is MOO.

If it were the first scenario - what if the perp was planning for something else to go down at that church and wasn't expecting Missy and the campers? The mission may have been called off. I know LE has said that Missy was targeted so I know it's unlikely but it's difficult to think someone hated her so much that they brutally murdered her.

Also unlikely, but it looks like two different people in the video footage. One waddles and looks unfit and the other looks fit from the side view. It could be because he/she unloaded some of the heavy tools that were carried in the vest. Some of the tools in the videos look like Fire Fighter equipment - not sure if police officers carry the same breach equipment or if anyone can get their hands on it.

Someone, I think Arkansasmimi, posted late last night that LE has video from the nearby gun store. I really hope an arrest is coming tomorrow. I don't think her family had anything to do with it and they should be able to grieve in private. I think the press conference was called for by BB and RB at the police station to try to keep the media away from the kids and their neighbors.

Wouldn't those records from airline, hotels, etc, have been confirmed by now? With all the resources LE had as support would think they had that info long ago.

 

[faw720]

its Texas, everyone has guns there. And has used them to stop hearts before.

that would've been the least of his problems, he clearly thought no more of Missy than he would a deer.

no, he wanted to Terrify her. That's something your regular hunter just doesn't do.

Yes, I know. I live in Texas & YES, everyone does have a gun including me. 99.9% of us don't kill other people with them.

 

[Nancee Drue]

Does anyone know if the family is reading these threads? Police? The Murderer (s)?

My guess is YES. No proof though, of course.. I just wish Killer would read, and feel really badly about killing, and turn him/her self in. That won't happen because Killer's mind snapped and he/she went wacko and killed, feeling no remorse, or shame. Killer was fiercely jealous, in my opinion. He/she may feel like he/she accomplished his/her goal.

The above is speculation.

Ok. So on facebook, Randy posts a pic of himself golfing at about 5:30 in San Diego. I looked, and there ARE flights out of there after that that get into DFW late at night. How hard would it be to check, for example, ALL the flights out of San Diego area landing anywhere near Dallas? (that would include Houston, Austin, and Dallas).

 

[sonjay]

I don't know. I imagine they had to serve subpoenas to get airline & hotel records, rental car records, credit card records, possibly surveillance video. I don't know how long the airlines, hotels, & credit card card companies take to respond to a subpoena and provide the requested information.

Also, it's possible that LE has sufficient "soft" confirmation -- statements from fishing buddies, etc. -- that they're pretty sure BB was actually in MS as claimed. Maybe they're still waiting for the records from the airline, hotel, etc., but it's not a high priority for them because their investigation is taking them in other directions.

They'll eventually receive and verify all the records that confirm his presence in MS at the time the murder occurred, because they have to cross all the i's and dot all the t's. But it may not be a super high priority at the moment.

Checking in. I've been away from my laptop since yesterday afternoon...can someone please fill me in what I've missed?

Maybe they have been confirmed.

LE isn't going to give MSM a running commentary of what they have uncovered so far. They certainly are not concerned with trying to stop speculation or rumors about family members on the internet.

They have a job to do and that's investigating this horrible crime and to bring anyone involved to justice. JMO

No news to my knowledge, just theories being discussed.

We haven't gotten anything new from the media or LE this weekend, at least as of right now.

Good point. What would have happened if Missy had a gun to defend herself? JMO

She left her purse in her truck, remember? She probably had no place to carry concealed in her workout clothes. But I would expect that she might have a CCL. It is very common in Texas.

And that would be another reason to ambush her inside the church, rather than in the parking lot where her purse was in arms' reach.
