Killed in a Midlothian church
The perp was dressed as a police officer.

No one needs guns in a church and "police" can always be relied upon ...
I certainly hope Midlothian/Ellis County/State LEOs find this person quickly. I'll say no more in case I'm picked for the jury.

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
Lots of speculation in the comments that this is a woman...if it is she has really long arms. Does have a bit of a duck walk. Seems very comfortable moving around.
RIP Mrs. Bevers.

I hope that this subhuman is caught quickly.
My prayers go out to Mrs. Bevers family and may she rest in peace.
This is a tricky scenario, even for the armed parishioner. If the killer is dressed like LEO, what would you do?
I know we can Monday night quarterback and say that this insignia wasn't right, that uniform wasn't correct, this didn't look right etc., but, when you have few seconds perhaps to do a size up, that's if you even do one, then what would you do and how would you respond?
Something to consider.

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
I have a brother in law LEO and he's told me 1000 times, that's the hardest thing to do. Figure out who the BG really is.
It's not easy and not all LEO's wave a sign and a badge, you always have to size it up in a split second.

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
This is a tragic situation and a heinous crime. I hope the investigators are able to get to the bottom of this and bring the perpetrator to justice. Our Peace Officers face enough challenges without the public having to doubt their identity and motives.
I know we live in a troubled world, but things like this still make me shake my head and wonder about the the evil that exists out there.

If anyone can get this murderer, it will be the Rangers. And whoever did this will end up with an uncomfortable wait in the Polunsky Unit.

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
I'm getting the feeling this was something personal and not a random crime. Very odd that the killer arrived just before she did, and nothing I've read eludes to any burglary of the location. The video of this odd duck slowly walking the halls just makes it more strange, but I guess who can say what goes through the mind of a pyscho.

I felt that from the beginning. Was also wondering if maybe the murderer ran into her and was recognized causing him to kill her. Just doesn't come out of the bag like a regular cat..

Typical church burglars don't dress like police or wear costumes, and it wasn't Halloween.
They go straight to valuables they think they can sell (precious metal items, sound and computer equipment, etc.), collect them, and get out. This person appeared to be walking around killing time.
I strongly suspect that the murder was the reason for the break in, and that there is some type of connection between the killer and the victim. I have my suspicions, but I won't share them here because I don't have facts to back them up. Time and some really good investigative work will eventually reveal what the connection might be.

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
I will be a dollar to a donut this was planned, and either a murder for hire. I too have my suspicions on who, but like you won't throw it out there. Will be interesting to see if they pan out and are the same.Excaliber wrote:Your instincts are right on.Daddio-on-patio wrote:Texsquatch wrote:I'm getting the feeling this was something personal and not a random crime.

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
Ok after reading the above comments, watching the news in the case, if the perp is a woman and after watching the husbands interview, I think this is a "love triangle" my 2 cents
Government, like fire is a dangerous servant and a fearful master

Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here- John Parker

Re: Killed in a Midlothian church
Thanks for posting an update.
It is a bit strange that this murder happened right when her husband was on a "long planned" fishing trip. It does lead me to believe that killer knew Mrs. Bevers.
Also, if the person had a gun but used a blunt object to commit this crime, it makes me think even more that this was personal.
Tragic case either way.
