Other than this spooky video, police have essentially had nothing to go off of in terms of who killed Missy since 2016. Some months later, in the fall of 2019, the police realised that a tip had been phoned in multiple times during the investigation. The new lead was regarding former Lancaster police office Bobby Wayne Henry. He was also a tactical officer who admitted to police that he still owned his riot gear but didn’t fit him anymore. Just after 4 am, Missy arrived at Midlothian’s Creekside Church of Christ to prepare for her early morning fitness class. She taught a gladiator boot camp and was prepping the room for a famously intensive session.
She had the highest homicide solve rate in the United States, solving all but one case in her career. We discuss Missy Bevers and how Detective Mannina would go about solving it, had this happened in her jurisdiction. In this episode, we discuss several aspects of the case that actually backfired causing more problems in the investigation.

Midlothian, TX - A North Texas murder mystery from nearly two years ago that still gets international attention is entering a new chapter. Despite all the challenges, Smith is still optimistic the right person will come forward with a substantive tip that gives Bevers’ family the closure they deserve.
One year ago today, a student arriving for a pre-dawn exercise class found Texas fitness instructor Terri “Missy” Bevers unresponsive on the floor of a Midlothian church. An hour earlier, the mother of three was attacked by someone outfitted in tactical gear, police have said. Police checked the surveillance footage from the Church. The footage directly outside the Church was not working but the surveillance footage inside was. Police viewed the footage and seekers nightmares saw that when Missy entered the Church that morning, at 4.18am, she was not the only person there.
Within hours of its release, the police department was inundated with tips from the public, and the FBI and US marshal’s office stepped in to help field calls. When the footage was released, police received several tips on the possible identity of the suspect pictured in tactical gear in the surveillance footage, some of them specific as to the person's build and walk. He explained that the blood was from a dog fight that happened a few days beforehand at Brandon’s sister’s house. The police followed up on this claim and confirmed that the blood was in fact from a dog. MIDLOTHIAN (CBSDFW.COM) - It's been six months since fitness instructor Missy Bevers was bludgeoned to death and police aren't any closer to catching her killer. But investigators in Midlothian have new help trying to crack the unsolved murder.
Missy Bevers, a 45 year old wife, mother and Camp Gladiator instructor is brutally murdered at the Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas on April 18, 2016. The husband and daughters of a woman who was killed inside a Texas church are hoping that killer isn't still walking around. Following a tip and based on the belief that he drove a similar car, police spoke to former Lancaster police officer Bobby Wayne Henry.
These places aren’t close to each other, and Creekside sits well back from the road. It doesn’t seem the most likely target for a lone, random vandal or thief. While there have been impressive instances of crowd-sourced investigation, there have been plenty of failures as well.
