FITNESS MOM, MISSY BEVERS, BLUDGEONED DEAD IN CHURCH BASEMENT

Missy Bevers arrives at Creekside Church at 4:16 AM and begins setting up for her 5 AM fitness class. She doesn't realize that someone else is in the building. Video surveillance shows a person dressed in full police SWAT tactical gear walking through the halls of the church with an unusual gait while clutching a hammer.   Shortly before 5 AM, one of Bevers' students arrives, finding Bevers' body inside the church.  Bevers has puncture wounds to her head and chest. The student calls 911. In minutes, police and rescue arrive, and Missy Bevers is pronounced dead on the scene.  Creekside church has surveillance cameras inside and out of their property. Still, in a tough break for cops, the outside cameras don't work. Police rule out Missy Bevers' husband, Brandon, as he was on an annual fishing trip at the time of the murder. However, Missy Bevers' death investigation now includes a vehicle of interest that police say was captured on surveillance cameras at a nearby business just before the murder. It is a 2010-2012 Nissan Altima, silver or light color, with an oval sticker on its bumper.   Tips can also be submitted directly to the Midlothian Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 972‑775‑3333 or through private message on our Facebook page, Midlothian Police Department – Texas (@MidlothianTXPD).   Joining Nancy Today: * Dr. Geri-Lynn Utter  - Clinical Psychologist specializing in psychological evaluations and risk assessments for individuals involved in the criminal justice system, Author of “Mainlining Philly: Survival, Hope and Resisting Drug Addition,” and “Aftershock: How Past Event Shake Up Your Life Today”, and Producer of “Utter Nonsense,” a documentary of exploration of addition and severe mental illness, available to stream on Apple TV and Prime Video, website:drgerilynnutter.com, Instagram & Facebook: DrGeriLynnUtter  * Joseph Scott Morgan - Professor of Forensics: Jacksonville State University, Author, "Blood Beneath My Feet", Host: "Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan", Instagram @JoScottForensic *  Alan Duke  -  Investigative Journalist / Editor in Chief, LeadStories.com [https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://LeadStories.com__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!zpRUeC3ntFUZPYZqjXcSLqSL8s8LRW6n7K516-1C7emZUoghDGa27iVdqnsDHIxjR_4YVYmacNojE1-O$] Website:LeadStories.com [https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://LeadStories.com__;!!PxibshUo2Yr_Ta5B!zpRUeC3ntFUZPYZqjXcSLqSL8s8LRW6n7K516-1C7emZUoghDGa27iVdqnsDHIxjR_4YVYmacNojE1-O$]  X: @AlanDukeNews  * Dave Mack  - Investigative Reporter, 'Crime Stories'On Phone  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
