    MURDER: Missy Bevers

    MURDER: Missy Bevers

    In the early morning hours of April 18, 2016, Missy Bevers, a 45-year-old beloved mom, wife, fitness instructor, and so much more, was murdered inside Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas. When police checked the surveillance footage, they learned that Missy had been viciously attacked by someone wearing tactical gear, and carrying a hammer. Despite the killer being captured on camera, no suspects have ever been identified. It’s been just over eight years since Missy was killed, and investigators are still searching for the person responsible…

    Missy Bevers was murdered at some point between 4:20 and 5:00 am on April 18, 2016 while she was inside the Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas. 

    The police believe the suspect is 5’8” with a helmet on. They do not know the gender or race of the suspect, however they believe the suspect is light-skinned. They ask that everyone watch the video footage to see if you recognize the suspect. 

    Investigators are also looking for the driver of a Silver Nissan Altima, who was seen in the parking lot of SWFA Outdoors just a few hours before Missy was murdered. The driver is not a suspect, but police would like to speak to them. 

    If you have any information in this case, you can call Crime Stoppers of Ellis County at 972-937-7297, or call the Midlothian Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 972-775-7634. There is a $150,000 reward.

Story format

The other day I was looking for a particular story, so I decided to try several different podcasts. Oh boy, what a mistake, they just talked and talked, then jumped around telling the story. I could not finish one of them, all I got was a headache !!! LOL So, thank you for setting the scene, going over the details and ending with your thoughts. EXCELLENT WORK….

Boxcolorful ,

New cases I have never heard of!

I love this podcast and the one you do with Stephanie crime weekly. I have heard of only a few of the cases you have covered so far in both podcasts. I love that you have a criminal background, have and show unbias. I love that you share your sympathy for the families involved.
