foreign [Music] ful first tomorrow marks one year since Missy beavers was murdered in a
Midlothian Church police have video of her killer but to have sorted through 1400 tips but as news 8's Tanya Eiser
reports it's not enough to solve this case a seven second video captured the mysterious killer with a distinctive
walk roaming around midlothian's Creekside Church of Christ for a half hour dressed all in black in police
tactical gear and a bulletproof vest Missy beavers there to teach an early morning Camp Gladiator class was killed
with puncture wounds to the head and chest the morning of April 18 2016. if you would have told me that we would be
in this parking lot talking about this case a year later without your out of your mind
we're killing shocked the Tiny Town and made national headlines nothing was taken not even beavers's iPad and
planner what the killer used to kill her investigators won't say or even if they've recovered that Weapon It's a
vital um Brandon beavers was not talking today it's him sobbing at a vigil the day
after her death through because you have sad moments you have Angry moments you have moments of
where you're up here because you remember all the amazing things that she did and she said and Renee Jones is the
head trainer for Camp Gladiator and a friend of beavers the hardest part for us is just just the acknowledgment and
uh without knowing you know like everybody else she has faith that the killer will
be caught tonight's workout she's teaching will be in her friend's honor there's a lot of there's a lot of um
split opinions on this case whether she was targeted or not but it was random some people see a woman in that video
some people see a man and so who killed Missy beavers remains a mystery a year later
Midlothian Texas is located about 25 miles Southwest of Dallas Texas now back in 2010 the population was listed at
about 18 000 people so today let's say the population is probably somewhere around the 20 000 Mark now our story
starts off on Monday April 18 2016. Terry Missy beavers is 45 years old will go by she goes by Missy most of
the time so we will refer to her as Missy beavers she's a fitness instructor she's married she's the mother of three
daughters she was found murdered on that Monday inside the Creekside Church in mid in Midlothian Texas where she was
scheduled to teach a class earlier that morning later that day the Midlothian police
department released surveillance video from the church that showed Missy's killer now this person is dressed in
police tactical gear walking through the halls of the church opening doors and breaking glass prior to Missy's arrival
initial reports suggested that Missy may have been may have interrupted a burglary in progress at the church and
that she had been killed as a result But as time went on police revealed that they were working on the theory that
Missy had been targeted now I thought captain that this was somewhat of a popular case however when
we started working on this I quickly realized it's not as well known as I had expected but if you've never heard of
this case well hold on to your seats because this thing is very interesting this is an interesting case especially
with that surveillance footage and we'll get to that shortly one this surveillance footage is going to give
the police some kind of timeline of these events but again this is going to be very similar to like the Delphi
murders or there is some video evidence that they released to the public but I'm
assuming that this is a very small fragment of a of the amount of information that the police have
okay so here's a timeline of what we know that occurred on April 18th at an unknown time a person this could be a
man or a woman disguised in what can only best be described as police tactical gear this looks like something
that you would expect to see a police officer wearing for a riot situation or like a possible SWAT uniform
but this person arrives at the church and forces their way inside now at 3 50 a.m the suspect is first seen on
surveillance video at 4 16 a.m Missy is seen on surveillance video arriving in the parking lot and entering the church
building I want to discuss this portion before we get to the video here because this is the way that the police they
announced this timeline and this sentence here has caused a lot of speculation because they said Missy is
seen on surveillance video arriving in the parking lot and entering the church building we have not seen any video
footage from outside of the church building itself okay uh so there's there's speculation as to was there any
cameras outside of this building you know facing the parking lot I think what what has happened here is that there's
not any surveillance video from outside of the building right I think that they just made this statement
um because she is she is killed when she enters the church building itself I think that the statement is just unclear
the way that they said this I don't think there is actually any video from outside of the building itself now at
5am this was the scheduled time for her class that she was teaching this is when
the first 9-1-1 calls come in from Missy's students who had arrived at the church reporting that Missy is
unresponsive so officers and EMS arrived on the scene and they discovered what they said is a lot of broken glass on
the floor inside the building the day prior to the murder Missy had posted on her Facebook page that she was
going to be hosting the class the next morning at 5 a.m rain or shine and it was raining that morning well yeah
because I believe this class was something that they would do outside yeah so since there was going to be rain
they had to move the location to the church yeah and I think her statement was something like you know even though
it's raining we will still be training and so like the captain said they moved the class inside so she's killed when
she arrives at the church um very quickly after her arrival and then the students find her or well the
people in her class find her at 5am now what I think we should do Captain is I think we should watch the video describe
what we're seeing because there are people that are listening that have not seen the video uh they're still not
going to see it on the podcast so we'll describe what we see and discuss some of
the topics uh that in questions that this video presents and this footage is very short but I'll I'll copy this
footage and put it on our website at truecrime garage.com yes and this is a short video like the captain said and
when we first the first image that we see is we see somebody walking into the building
um they're coming through a door um we don't see how the person ganged access to the building itself but the
first thing that's the haunting image that you notice is this appears to be a police officer wearing SWAT gear and
we're talking about there's a vest there's dark pants dark boots uh or dark tennis shoes there's
some debate about that but they have the helmet on as well and the on the vest it
says police on the back um and it looks to me at one point in the video like I can see the plates you
know how they put like plates inside these vests to make them bulletproof I think I see a plate there but this
suspect walks through a door and then goes to the next door and tries to force it open no no the the
scene starts with the the suspect at a door opening a door but it's not going through that door okay so how did the
suspect get to this door we don't know right it just starts with it you know the suspect's hand is on a door or this
tool that they have to open up the doors um and what I'm assuming is they have a
tool that they're just pushing the door lock and then that's opening up the door
for him so not a lot of effort to open up that door yeah so you're right so they do not enter they don't walk
through that door they just open it up and they don't even really go into whatever room that appears to be
no that's it looks like they just look inside yeah so again like we said there's a helmet there's black shirt
there's the black vest there's uh black pants boots gloves but the interesting thing about the helmet is it seems
pretty shiny it doesn't seem like a flat uh black or a matte black finish which you would think would be more
um you know official police uniform because you don't have a SWAT a team helmet where it's shiny because then if
they're trying to take cover um you know whoever they're taking cover from could see where they're at based on
the shine of their helmet this part right here is very interesting to me Captain because the person the suspect
is trying to force open this door and look what do you see in the hands there I see what looks to be like a hammer a
pretty heavy duty Hammer um along with a like a pry bar um and it looks to me like the person
like you said jams the pry bar in between the the the door in the frame right and can't get this door open so
they use the hammer to bang on the end of the pry bar like they're going to force it open
but we will see the suspect very quickly give up on trying to get into this door
yeah so the first door is interesting that they want to open and they don't really go into it has a little window
and then this next door that they're trying to open doesn't have a window so again this is a church some would
speculate that it's a Monday so maybe that this person is breaking in into the church so they could steal the the
offerings of of that Sunday yeah they're the person after after giving up on trying to get into the door they adjust
their gloves or make sure that their gloves are secure on them yeah and probably more important than that and
you know we kind of talked about is there a hammer is there also like some pry bar uh this kind of clearly shows
that the suspect is putting something away onto the right side of their body and then also holding on to something in
their left side of the body so indicating that there would be two objects right and one of the big things
in this case is do police officers do do law enforcement do they have the weapon
the murder weapon well in this case this shows that there's possibility of having
two different murder weapons yeah and at this point the person appears to put the
pry bar away like maybe in a belt or in their pocket and then turns and kind of faces the camera and you see the this
weird with their feet kind of up apart their toes pointing outward but legs together and then they start
walking near the camera and at this point you can see the the hammer is still in this person's hand
yeah and I think this is the most enter you know most interesting part of the video footage when they talk about this
gate uh and that's the way in which a person walks now there was actually some speculation on this case that the person
that was walking uh in this surveillance footage was walking with a fake walk to
me there doesn't look anything fake about it doesn't seem like the person's um you know it seems like the person's
really focused on getting on the door and when it's they can't get in the door they take off walking they're not
thinking too much about uh their mannerisms right and the best way the way that I I've thought that this was
best described um is that I've heard one person say that uh that a very unorthodox and
unnatural posture and stance especially when walking and it's it's what's been described as a
wide gate and at 50 seconds into this video and again posting the video that we're talking about on the website True
Crime garage.com when you look at this footage on about 50 seconds in this is a another thing
that people speculate a lot too is how big is this individual you know you know how round are they so
here's a couple things I find interesting at at 50 and 51 it looks like this individual might have somewhat
of a belly right but once you get to uh let me get there yeah I'm with you it looks like the person has a belly and
then you know there's been debate are those the plates that are in the vest or does this person have some boobage or
some or or some kind of belly uh because again we don't know if this is a man or
a woman or is it boobage and a belly right but here at 50 about the 54 Mark um the person is very close to the
camera at this point and they kind of turn to their side and I don't think the person looks
to have much of a belly there no it looks more like you're seeing the vest yeah and that's again and you get a
closer look at this helmet again it's this shiny helmet again how authentic is this helmet I would say not very
authentic now this next part on the on the video is one that I've watched this small clip time and time again it the
person walks up to a door and opens up the door great you know grabs the doorknob opens up the door and
there then the top of the door does not open it's one of those split doors and to me I've watched this part over
and over again well let's go back a little bit let's let's start at the 55 second Mark okay and this is when the
individual is going to walk across the screen again it almost looks like the individual is walking with a limp uh
looks like it's almost dragging the right foot a little bit mm-hmm uh some people have speculated that
maybe this person has either a fake leg or in my world maybe a peg leg or an injury of some sort one thing I do want
to mention here Captain though is look what the person just walked past on their way to that door we've seen
early in the video we see this person try opens up one door goes to the immediate next door and then tries to
pry that door open and this scene they walk right by two different doors one one that is open and one that is
closed without attempting to go into the open door or even try the closed door well and the other speculation here too
is you almost see a little bit about 59 seconds in you'd see almost like some light hitting the the bottom in that
maybe this person has a little bit of a donkey donk I think it's the scientific term yeah we're using a lot of big
scientific words uh boobage and Badonkadonk are teachers and professors would be very impressed
um so then now the person walks up to this door it looks like double doors and then let's get back to the
Badonkadonk do you see that little bubble butt I see it but you would you you know what I actually think I'm
seeing there I think that that's either the vest extends down and hangs and kind
of dangles there no or let me throw this at you I think this person may have some kind
of what I'm going to refer to as a like a Batman utility belt that that this person may have a lot of
different tools and equipment with them we've already seen a pry bar and a hammer
yeah so I don't know that I see a badonkadonk I think yeah but I feel like I see something hanging off of this
person I think it's also possible that this individual is wearing multiple layers of clothes so this could be like
you know pants on top of pants so stop it right there so we have the 110 Mark is the door that this person opens up
and this is the scene that I've watched over and over again watch this yeah 103.
yeah 103 sorry he Nicks a little further away from the screen than I am so and these might be a little more drunk
than some of them so yeah the individual goes and clearly at 103 if you pause it
you can see a hammer a hammer that's absolutely a hammer and that's in the left hand and
it doesn't look like it doesn't look like a regular hammer it looks to me like a heavy duty claw hammer but just
watch from one 102 to 103 when you hit play it's almost like they lost balance a
little bit then they open the bottom door they open the top door now this as this individual is opening up this uh
what do they call that kind of door well I'm I'm just going to call it a split door so the bottom the bottom portion
opens since we're going with a all these technical terms and then the top the top
part opens as well but they don't open together and this is the part I've watched over and over again the suspect
opens up the bottom portion of the door and then if you if you play that again the suspect then like looks upward like
almost in surprise that the whole door didn't open up right and that's one thing I kept going back and forth on
here has this person been in the building before or not and it looks to me like this person's not been in the
building before or or didn't know that this door would would not open normally right now but this individual has been
in this church for how long now um well they would have been in the church for about
a half an hour before she's killed um now why was this individual able to walk through this church building
without the cops showing up um I don't think there's any alarm on the building no there's not right so
that that would go with the question a lot of people started to assume well this person knew that this church didn't
have alarm right and then they knew that they could get into the building and they could take their time so now the
person's opened up that split door and stepped inside but very quickly turns around and exits that room whatever that
room is yeah and that's another thing that's kind of difficult with this whole situation is you don't know the building
yourself so you have no clue if they're opening up a closet or if they're opening up like an actual classroom or
what they're opening because you know again the speculation at first is that she you know Missy uh beavers walks into
a situation where somebody is breaking and and stealing stuff or or planning to steal stuff in a church yeah and and she
just kind of walks in on that and that's why this crime took place and so when you see this footage you go well while
this individual is not stealing anything in this next portion we will see the individual walking down the hallway and
then they appear to turn to their right and possibly go down another hallway or or step into a hallway
[Music] well no it looks like they sit at a door for a while oh yeah yeah I saw it and uh
so let's let me go back just a second bear with us people all right so yeah about 117 118 they're
messing with some other door yeah you're right there is a door there you can see
yeah but what's weird with this video footage at least the one that I'm going to post on the thing or post on the
website is it almost seems like the video freezes for a second yeah no leg movement all of a sudden but all of a
sudden he's uh he or she's in a different portion of the hallway and now walking back almost retracing their
steps yeah towards and again you can see something in the right hand I don't know
if you can see anything in the left hand I don't see anything in the left hand it
looks to me like that's still the hammer in the right hand yeah again so you know
the speculation whether this is a break-in and look here here's what we do know it's a break-in right and there are
people that just have broke into buildings before and they don't steal anything yeah so then you see the person
walking and kind of tapping or padding on the wall Very casually as they're walking down the hallway
um and at one point you we will see this individual coming through a door uh seems like a different hallway yeah
and I can't tell if that's light shining from the other room or reflecting off of
this helmet but there's kind of a flash of light and then there's something in the person's hand so we see the hammer
what appears like they're swinging the hammer and busting open a door or maybe some glass on there doing so with the
right hand with their right hand there's something in the left hand and this is not the pry bar that I saw earlier this
is like oh I can only describe it as like a white box um but yeah so did this person take this
box with them or or was this something that they picked up inside the yeah was this
something they picked up inside the building and stole stole or was this something that was brought into the
church with them um and this is where after after the suspect smashes we can't see if that's a
window or a door almost looks like it has a flashlight on its belt see that right there
yeah there's something dangling from from a bell or from a pocket it could be keys or a small flashlight right I can't
really tell what it is and then you see the person walking nonchalantly down the
hallway and padding on the wall or touching the wall as they walk what what I see Captain is somebody that doesn't
seem to be in any kind of hurry at all this person's not in a hurry this uh this person also I don't think they
think the police are ever going to show up or this person by this point knows that there's a no alarm on the building
they're not afraid of somebody showing up the I can't explain to you how casual this person looks right but that would
make me believe that this suspect knew this building didn't have alarm system right and also that this building had
surveillance and here's another thing that's interesting like we said the the main uh
speculation is that there is no surveillance of the parking lot so this individual might have known that as well
we're talking about a very small town I mean I come from a pretty small town right out outside of Columbus and
looking at maybe like I don't know forty five thousand fifty thousand and this this town is under 20 000. right
this is a pretty small community everybody kind of probably knows everybody yeah um Here's my thought uh on the
person busting in these doors and attempting to open these doors I think that the person is looking for the for
where whatever room that the camera uh system is is operating from the AV Equipment yeah looking to destroy that
computer or whatever is housing that information all right so you're talking about the actual surveillance of the
church yes I don't mean that he he or she was looking to steal AV Equipment that you know expensive uh AV Equipment
I think they're looking to destroy the video footage that has captured them and captured their image well Brandon
beavers talks about this a little bit because when they talk about why would you break into a church maybe for the
collection money uh most churches will not just have you know lose money on them
um and a lot of people will pay through like debit cards now or they'll pay with
checks yeah um so he was thinking that maybe one of the main reasons somebody would want to
break into a church is to steal their audio and visual equipment because they have a lot of projectors and recording
equipment and so maybe that would be their motive let's get back to this right after this quick beer break
I want to start off Captain by talking about this outfit and I'm going to call it an outfit for now because more
costume yeah costume because it could be just that um we what it appears to be obviously is
SWAT uniform or riot gear tactical police tactical gear but let's start and go kind of head to toe here because you
hit on something that that is an interesting observation regarding the helmet now is this helmet a real helmet
and you you touched on the fact that it's a very in the video it's a very shiny helmet it's not that matte finish
and I would think that if this is a real Police SWAT helmet that this would not be very it wouldn't be something you
would want to be shiny right isn't part of that thing it's part for protection but also partly to conceal you you know
they make these things black for a reason yeah and it's possible that would be like a training helmet yeah if there
is such a thing so a lot of people have said this could possibly be a costume um that this this would be like a
Halloween costume and you wonder well who just has Halloween costumes laying around at the ready uh I think that
that's actually kind of a common thing um I know that uh okay explain yourself well let me explain this to you okay
okay please do so in my home right now I have a costume okay and the reason being
is every year I get invited to the Halloween party um and I I have gone back in in the past
I've gone to Halloween parties in no costume at all because I'm not a real festive person so if somebody invites me
to the Halloween party I just didn't I didn't take the time to go purchase a costume so what I did was one year I
purchased a costume after the Halloween party it goes into a box and then every Halloween if I'm invited to another
party I pull it out and I'm the same thing every year and this is what uh I'm a knight a knight a knight yeah like you
carry a sword and you have like the armor and everything I have a little bit of armor and in a small Cape
um so I I do think that it's possible that maybe somebody had a Halloween type costume at the ready I don't see a
Halloween costume this to me looks a little too heavy duty uh to especially the vest the the vest appears to me to
be real um I do think this is something that you don't have to be law enforcement or
previous law enforcement to own one of these vests I I would imagine you could get them online or some type of army
surplus store or something like that I was doing a little digging into the army surplus store stuff a lot of the stuff
that is like uh Official Police official Army that you have to have identification in order to be able to
purchase that okay and not just like a driver's license like you can't purchase some like
um and I could be wrong but this is the information that I was digging into that
if it was like a Official Police Issue or a military issue that you'd have to have have that identification so and but
so to me this costume it kind of seems like it's a kind of in between okay you know something being official or
authentic and kind of a makeshift costume I mean it's pretty easy to go out it looks like this individual is
wearing you know probably black pants that you probably would get like cargo pants something that you would get at an
army surplus store um you know it's really hard to tell what kind of jacket they're wearing
underneath this vest right um but it seems like it's kind of maybe looser at the bottom again this is all
stuff that you could get at an army surplus store the vest is the thing that becomes in question like you were saying
before I I have a hard time explaining this vest because like the police and on the
back it looks very official but the helmet again that that just looks like but I don't think the helmet is a
costume helmet like one of those plastic fake helmets like a motorcycle helmet yeah or a dirt bike helmet yeah it's a
legitimate helmet but is it a legitimate uh SWAT team helmet I would say no I I I'm gonna go with no I think it's a
motorcycle helmet or a dirt bike helmet I now other people have argued about the
shoes or boots are these black shoes or are they boots to me they look like boots
um and you know the person's wearing gloves as well but I I'm with you Captain I think this outfit was pieced
together I don't think somebody went to somewhere and purchased a head to toe riot gear outfit I think this thing was
kind of pieced together well let's talk about one of the things that they can kind of figure out by this
um by this video what they can do is they can measure certain you know door lengths uh tile links and they can start
figuring out the dimensions of the suspect and one of the things that they came up with which I still think is a
little too vague and I think it would be nice if they'd come up with a little bit
more concrete evidence here but they're saying that the suspects in between five
two and five seven okay so this would be a shorter man uh if it were a man um and yeah but it's the average height
for a woman correct and the thing is I think the reason why we have about a five inch difference here is one one
they're they're judging this these cameras appear to be elevated uh above the suspect right and so there's you
have to give a little wiggle room for that and the other thing is the helmet and the boots you know what kind of what
kind of souls or heels are on these boots uh how much height is the helmet itself adding to this in individual yeah
but in Photoshop you can do so like the first scene right we're seeing this little tiny figure in the background and
we see their feet well we see this tile and Photoshop you can go in and draw a line you know from you know A to B if I
draw that line in Photoshop it's going to tell me the length of that line and then if I take the length of the foot
those look like uh 24 inch by 24 inch tiles to me that would be my guess yeah they're bigger yeah definitely bigger
tiles so but but then once you measured it in Photoshop then you measured in real life and then you start creating
the ratios and then you could figure out how big these These Boots Are and that would be I think one of the reasons why
it's five two to five seven is also because this individual is wearing a helmet so anybody that has a motorcycle uh or
has rode a motorcycle and has a helmet you'd notice that you know you're probably looking at maybe an inch to two
inches kind of sitting above your head so this so again if they think that the top spectrum of it is five seven I'd
guess with that extra inch especially with a boot with some height that this individual is anywhere from five one to
five five right again putting it in the in the range more of a female than a male
uh regarding let's talk about the tools we see several tools used here one thing
that we don't see that you might expect to see with police tactical gear I see no evidence of a gun on on this person
or in the person's hand at any time um I also don't see a baton um yeah but we also do see evidence that
this individual was putting away a hammer or they're put put in a way some kind of crowbar and so like you
said before maybe some kind of Batman utility belt yeah and one thing that I heard reported was the the the the tools
may have come from inside the building I do I can't believe that I think this person showed up with these tools and I
mean the hell the hammer and I mean the the pry bar as well I think that's how they gained access to the building
itself well if you look at the evidence of the break-in uh first of all there was a main window where the screen was
broken out and they they kind of stopped trying to break into that window and then they went through the door and they
just busted through the glass window these you'll see it in the video footage too uh the the front doors are the same
where there's kind of a small glass window they hit the glass put their hand in open up the door
um now law enforcement are kind of confused by the whole possibly trying to break through the window because they
don't think this individual would have fit through the window or do does the person look
the person with that walk the other suspicion is that they might not be in any shape to pull themselves up in and
through a window yeah and the big conversation here is this individual's gate and you know one is it is it the way
they walk for real or is it fictitious walk does this person have a prosthetic leg do they have something wrong with
their leg you know I have a buddy of mine that had a bad car wreck and he kind of walks with a certain gate right
and you would kind of you wouldn't notice it unless you were friends with them for so long
so but the other thing too is uh I wonder about the boots do these boots fit right individual because also I mean
have you ever seen somebody walk in flippers yeah in flippers oh like if they're yeah scuba diving scuba diving
yes you know you put the flippers on and you kind of walk like a penguin or something and that's similar to how this
person's walking and then so is the way that they're walking um is it being modified because they
have larger boots on that don't fit their feet well that's that's a good question because it would not be the
first time I can't reference by name uh off the top of my head but I know that there's been several cases over the
years where somebody intentionally wore shoes or boots that were too big for them uh left Footprints at the scene of
a crime and they were almost eliminated eventually caught once they figured out that the person wore a pair of boots
that were a size or two two and a half sizes too big yeah which is super fascinating as far as you know everybody
always says like well look uh people watch CSI and that's not how the real world works but the fact that they can
take a shoe print and determine that the person's foot didn't fit in that shoe is
pretty CSI to me um let's talk about the uh let's back back to the tools real quick
um because and I want to stay on this just for a second because we see this person putting that pry bar away at some
point we see three different objects in the person's hand a hammer a pry bar and
then something that we can't we can't decide what it is it looks like a white box to me yeah it's one of the last
scenes that you'll find in this video footage it starts about a minute 46 and it's it's a it's in the left hand
because this is when you clearly see that this suspect is hitting everything with the hammer using their right hand
so again we could kind of assume that this individual is right-handed and again though we don't know if this box
is something that the person picked up inside the building itself or if it was something that they brought with them
but they at least in my opinion brought the pry bar and the Hammer with them we see what what you thought might have
been a flashlight I thought could be possibly keys or something near like the pants pocket
um possibly could just be a loose piece of clothing underneath the vest I feel like this person brought like a Batman
utility belt with them and with with several tools on it that they could adjust uh depending on the situation
what what the situation called for regarding the murder weapon it very likely could have been that hammer that
we saw the person carrying early in the get-go they were not releasing the cause
of death however it was quickly figured out because they were issuing some uh search warrants and in one of the
warrants it stated that she had that Missy had died from puncture wounds to the head and chest area those could have
been caused by that claw hammer yeah and this is another reason why people believe that this you know that this
person was breaking into this building into this church for the sole purpose of not burglary but to attack this Fitness
uh trainer and one of the evidence of that or one one speculation one can make is that this person is wearing
protective gear they have a hammer but they got a helmet they got this you know their arms are protected their legs are
protect acted again possibly if my if my arms are protected that this person can't claw at me can't get any of my DNA
evidence you know wear gloves uh so that's kind of speculation there well and I don't believe that the you
know obviously this person wore it for a disguise first of all but it probably serves multiple purposes like you said
for some type of Perfect protection but I also don't believe that this person wearing this outfit that that
necessarily means that this person knew that they would be on camera okay some people say that well they went to Great
Lengths to disguise themselves so they must have known they must have been in that building before knew that they were
going to be on camera at some point I don't think so I think that we might be dealing with a sophisticated killer
um somebody that's fairly organized and and planned this thing out a little bit and uh I think that what we're seeing
here is somebody that that thought you know that is aware of the possibility of being on camera and second of all wanted
to be protected whoever attacked Missy if she was in fact targeted um probably expected some kind of fight
um and would want to have some form of protection one to uh maybe so they don't leave any
evidence on her you know maybe so they don't uh suffer from a cut or she gets DNA underneath her fingernails when
she's fighting off her attacker the other thing uh and somebody brought this up I can't remember who it was but I
found this very interesting they said you know wearing choosing a police outfit might also allow the killer to
get close to Missy where if she came into the building and this person's already in there and the the the person
in the outfit could go look there was a break-in uh we're we're just checking things out uh who are you and approach
her and then once they got close to her they could attack her then and take her by surprise one again the helmet you
know again you could speculate that this individual knew her so if the individual
knew her they'd say well this this helmet is also going to cover up my identity hmm and so yeah I can sit there
and be like oh hey it's the police but you know if you saw me in a police outfit and my helmet was off you go
that's not the police that's the captain if this person is wearing a motorcycle helmet I believe that they had some kind
of mask on underneath um maybe like a ski mask or something that you might see you know we've seen
burglars wear these uh types of outfits before where they'll put where you can only see their eyes right um and in one
of the there's a short clip it's right where the person turns and appears to be adjusting their their gloves after they
after their failed attempt to breaking into that door um I I believe I see a white person
um that that's that's what I see through the helmet through the through the glass
of the helmet uh and into this tiny mask it's only it's so small though that I can't say for 100 certainty that it is a
white person but I see a white person in that clip well right and I I think please have you know basically said that
that's what they believe as well also Captain uh burglary or was she targeted what do you think here
um well I think the whole thing about this you know sophisticated killer I mean again I think this individual look
you if you're a sophisticated killer and you're going to break into a building that you've not aware if it has an alarm
system or not you're just going to roam around for over 30 minutes in a building
thinking that the cops aren't going to show up if there's alarm system well let me let me throw this at you because this
is my belief of what happened you talked about the window that somebody attempted
to break into the window or basic may have successfully broken into the window we don't know for certain but we do know
that they got access to the building through a door that they broke into right I think this person had little to
no knowledge of the building itself and I don't think you needed to have any of that information to Target Missy beavers
at that location I think that the person may have arrived quite a bit earlier before they gained access to the
building broke into that window and left left the area to see if it triggered an
alarm to see if any police showed up to see if you know some places have silent alarms and others have if you break into
my home you'll know right away that there's an alarm system because it will make this loud annoying noise I think
that once the person broke into that window didn't hear an alarm go off I think they could have left the area went
to a nearby location where they could watch the building itself and see if any police show up if police show up guess
what you go home and you're gonna have to plan the murder for another day but I think when nobody showed up that this
person came back and busted down that door and decided to go into the building the strange thing here for me is
the busting in the doors would seem like a typical burglary type activity right right but then the person never goes
into these rooms again I think the person's looking for the surveillance footage I think that the cameras were
probably very obvious they're in obvious locations and this person thought you know what she might not get here for
another half hour or so I'm gonna look for this footage I'm gonna look for where they're storing this I'm going to
destroy that equipment or take some of it with me so they can't view it um and the the but the strange thing is
if you are lying there waiting for somebody you would think you would want to be
quiet right that you wouldn't want to be causing the loud disturbance but then again maybe that's the help that the
police outfit offers you that if she does show up and you happen to be busting into a door creating a bunch of
noise you're you're a police officer you're there for a good reason not not for you know not to kill Missy well one
of the things that I have a hard time to get over is that you know you'd make all this
mess you're busted into these doors or leaving glass everywhere now if you're the sophisticated killer you you are
assuming that you're creating all this mess you're opening up all this these doors creating this havoc
that this individual that Missy is going to walk in to this scenario has to probably see a car
at the church dad in the parking lot that is why I kind of stayed on that surveillance footage of the outside of
the building because we don't know if this killer would have parked at the at the church itself
um we don't know that I my guess would be that maybe not I I think that maybe a civilian vehicle outside would cause
some alarm to her at that very early hour yeah uh that you know but as would the broken glass as with a bunch of
doors being open so again I think you know that evidence to me uh shows more of a sign of somebody breaking into a
place why are they there I'm not really for sure I don't think it's for murder though
right because you're going to leave this trail that this individual this you know
small uh female uh is going to walk past and dark it's going to be dark because it's it's so early morning that she's
going to walk through this area with all this broken glass and just go well there's something going on and I'm going
to figure it out I just don't think that's something that this individual would have done I don't think Missy
would have done that I think she would have been the type of person that if she saw a broken glass and all this stuff
that she might not walk in and and and just maybe call the cops well but here's the thing if if this is not a stranger
on Stranger murder uh if it's not random and she was targeted then there's some connection between the suspect and her
and maybe this sophisticated killer that I'm calling this person maybe they were
trying to Stage some type of burglary um maybe trying to make it look that way especially if they would have gotten
away with the surveillance footage if we wouldn't have had that where we see the
person casually walking around the building um I think a lot of people would have
thought this was a potential robbery or burglary and that she surprised this person they reacted and then fled the
scene now she was killed very near the entrance if not right at the entrance of this church so she was I don't believe
her to be in the building for very long at all uh when she was attacked to me that makes more sense of this individual
goes around they bust up all these doors they bust up all these windows you know did she enter the the the door
that was broken into no so we do we do know that that she she came in a different uh entrance so she's killed at
the the entrance that she's entering and I believe the way it's been described is
that she was killed near the main entrance so I'm guessing this would be on the front portion of the building uh
this individual could have accessed the building by breaking into a side door or
a door that's in the back of the building right but think about it this way if you know a little bit about that
look let's say you're in class with her you're one of her students you'd probably find out pretty quickly that
there's no alarm system like you show up the same time as your teacher she opens
up the door she doesn't say you know like when I work at the studio and somebody meets me at the same time the
session is and I gotta go in the studio I gotta go hey you gotta stay outside because I gotta shut the door behind me
lock it turn off the alarm system right right but if if they've walked in with their teacher before and she says okay
well open up the door oh come on in well don't you have to turn off the alarm system oh no there's no alarm system
here right that's that simple to know that information and again you now have somebody breaking into a different
entrance and not the front entrance again I think that's evidence that shows that this individual knows
a little bit about this building knows a little bit about her or it's just a coincidence but that's a lot of
coincidences you know I mean I'm I'm with you but I'm going to go ahead and and rule out the
possibility of burglary um she she had her wedding ring on her that was not taken nothing appears to
have been taken from the building or from Missy she had her uh iPad and a cell phone with her
um uh I'm I'm still I'm still on the thought that this person broke in and was waiting for her to arrive and
attacked her upon arrival yeah unless it's just some weird sick individual that just wanted to roam around a church
for no reason and then get startled by somebody and then decides to you know attack them you know it's that
doesn't add up to me though the thing here too Captain remember we said that Missy had posted on her Facebook page
the day before she was murdered uh that she was going to be hosting the class the next morning at 5 a.m rain or shine
and it was raining that day so the class was going to be uh hosted inside indoors
a lot of people have pointed out that that makes some kind of connection to people that knew about this gladiator
training class this Gladiator Fitness class uh maybe somebody in the group that had received that message because
she was attacked inside the person broke in and seems like I think waiting for her indoor and I don't know if this was
reported I don't know if it was on on her personal page or if it was for the class specific like
a the gladiator training Facebook page yeah just because you know you you can have your you know Pro you know your
profile set to private so this individual would have to be friends with her or was it a public page or is her
page public I assume it would be public because she has a job where she's trying
to she needs to recruit people clients yeah yeah I agree with you I would guess that it would be public I don't know for
certain uh but here here's my thought on this I don't know I have to laugh as I say this I don't
know anything about this gladiator training well you don't know anything about Facebook either right so I don't
know what type of workout session this would be what equipment more importantly what equipment is required uh to to host
this class well I think that's tough too because you know all Fitness classes will vary I mean you could have a
CrossFit class where you're using barbells and pull-up bars but you could also have a CrossFit type class where
you're doing nothing but body weight so I think it would just vary based on the instructor and what they thought they
could do or what they could do with the equipment that was in the church right now I've been at gyms before and I've
seen personal trainers arrive to the gym to teach their you know to train whoever
and they arrive with equipment that they bring with them I've also been in gyms where I've seen personal trainers uh
Fitness teachers uh open up a closet uh a lot maybe even a locked closet and pool equipment from the closet itself
I've I'm very curious to know if she would have brought all the equipment with her physically or if it was common
that she would access the building for the equipment for some purpose of teaching the class outside you know
bringing this equipment outside with her because you know it seems like this person had
some knowledge that she would be in the building and if if this was the only time that she ever accessed the building
because it was raining um maybe that seems like they would have to know about this Facebook post or the
message itself yeah I think that's again that's highly unlikely because again I think if that individual was there and
it was such a sophisticated killer they knew that this building didn't have alarm system and I well I think that she
um had her own key to the building would be my guess I'm I'm not I'm I wouldn't guess that she announces that the class
is going to be indoor tomorrow and then has to go get a key sometime that day right so she could get into the building
I'm thinking that she probably accessed the building most of the time before these classes and that's what this
killer was was betting on if you'd like to check out the surveillance video that we're talking
about go to www.truecrimegarage.com and it'll be right on the home page all right Captain
I'm excited to get to part two of this because there's so many more things that we we didn't get to uh regarding her
family um her father-in-law a bloody shirt there's more surveillance footage to discuss but we will get that get to that
in tomorrow's episode again that video will be posted at truecrimegarage.com there's we have our blog there so once
you once you check out the video make sure you leave us your thoughts and your opinions as to what you're seeing I'm
sure there'll be a lot of good discussion there all right till tomorrow be good be kind

She was found murdered on Monday, April 18th, 2016 inside the Creek Side Church in Midlothian, Texas. She was scheduled to teach a class there early that morning. Later that day, The Midlothian Police Department released surveillance video from the Church that showed Missy’s killer, dressed in police tactical gear. This person was walking through the halls of the Church, opening doors and breaking glass, prior to Missy’s arrival. Initial reports suggested that Missy may have interrupted a burglary in progress at the Church and had been killed as a result. Today we discuss this truly fascinating case.
