1
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: In the early morning hours of April eighteen, Fevers, a

2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: fitness instructor, a mom and wife, showed up at this

3
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: church to teach a class. Police says she was killed

4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: by puncture wounds to the head and chest. This is

5
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: crime stories with Nancy Grace. This person intended to do

6
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: exactly what they did, when they did it, and whom

7
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: they did it too. The former Murphy police chief says

8
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: the circle of people who may know what happened is

9
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: likely very small. There has to be sum between her

10
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: death and people in her past. Investigators have poured over

11
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: Fevers internet history and executed multiple larrance. Let's say today

12
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: the I D on this suspect will come from a

13
00:00:53,800 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: tip they still haven't received. April eighteen, two thousand sixteen.

14
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: Missy Beaver's a beautiful young wife and mother of three

15
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: little girls. Up bright and early, even earlier than me.

16
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think I'm all that because I get

17
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: up at five. She's up at three o'clock in the morning.

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: Why Because she goes and teaches a gladiator type exercise

19
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: class at a Midlothian church early early in the morning

20
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: for moms that need to then go to work, get

21
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: their children to school, long time, you name it. All

22
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: the things that moms do in the morning. No offense, dads,

23
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: But it's a lot. It is a lot. She goes

24
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: into the Midlothian church like she always does, and she's

25
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: never seen alive again. She is brutally murdered inside that

26
00:01:55,320 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Midlothian church April eighteen, two thousand six stein And today

27
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I wonder are we any closer to catching her killer

28
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: then we were on that day. I'm Nancy Grace. This

29
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: is crime stories and we want justice, don't you. This

30
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: is not a statistic, This is not entertainment. This is

31
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: not just a story we read about and then forget.

32
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 1: These are three little girls that no longer have their mother.

33
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: Why with me? Is Alan Duke? Alan? I gonna tell

34
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: you it pains me to even think about it because

35
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: on so many levels, but especially for those children. I mean, yes,

36
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: they've gone on, Yes they're going to go on, They're

37
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna grow up, they're gonna have a life, but it's

38
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: not the same. And I know a lot of children

39
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: grow up without a mom, but it's not the same.

40
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,679
Speaker 1: It's just not tell me anything. What do we know? Well,

41
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: first of all, the children, three young daughters. She was

42
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: forty five years old, Terry, Missy Beavers, and I think

43
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: it's appropriate that we're recording this pretty much at the

44
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: one year mark. I mean, we both got up early

45
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: this morning to do this. And when you say that,

46
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: it sent chills down my down my arms, because yes,

47
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: she got up early to go and teach this class,

48
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: this gladiator's workout class, which I should be at one

49
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: this morning, but I'm not. You know, I got a

50
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: hand it to this woman because she looked awesome, and

51
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: that takes so much discipline and so much work on

52
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: top of everything else she was doing. But go ahead.

53
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: She goes to the Smith Glothian, Texas Creekside Church of Christ.

54
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,119
Speaker 1: It's raining and she's going to do the class inside

55
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: instead of outside in the parking plot as normally, which

56
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 1: she posts on Facebook the night before and not before.

57
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: So whoever did this? If we're targeting Missy, which obviously

58
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: they were, this was not a theft. This was not

59
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: a typical burglary. She was targeted by her killer. The

60
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: killer came in to kill her, not still anything. The

61
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: killer knew it had been moved inside, that there would

62
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: not be an outdoors and easy visible easily visible murder.

63
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: She pulls up to the church parks in the parking lot,

64
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: and it's kind of in a it is a sort

65
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: of a rural area. It's just outside of this town

66
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: of about what fourteen fifteen thousand people. I'll never forget

67
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: when I said, what did I say? Three thousand and

68
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: some people and metlow thing got so mad at me.

69
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: Right well, actually Missy's husband got upset. He said, your

70
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: saying is so small. Anyway, God bless him. I came

71
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 1: from I claim it was Making, but it really wasn't Alan,

72
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: as you well know. It was outside of Making, in

73
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: a little area called Rutland Community. I mean, I've told

74
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: you this, but I lived on a red dirt road

75
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,479
Speaker 1: with a tree growing up in the middle of it

76
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: in front of our house. My grandfather, dug our will

77
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: Our water was often red as well. So the point

78
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 1: of that is not to belittle it, but to say

79
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: that the number of suspects should be narrowed down. Here

80
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: we are, early in the morning, rainy day in Texas.

81
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: There's the surveillance video of a car pulling into a

82
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: gun store parking lot across the street and down this

83
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: divided highway just a little bit. Isn't it a Nissan Ultima?

84
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 1: Yes it was, Yes, Yes, There are seventeen security cameras

85
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: at this the shop that captured the car pulling in

86
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 1: and driving around the parking lot and parking for several

87
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: minutes and then pulling away. Now I've made a lot

88
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: of that. I've made a lot of that because it's

89
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: very difficult for me to believe alan that the two

90
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: are not acted. But they could be not connected. It's

91
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,159
Speaker 1: just hard for me to believe. That's small of a population.

92
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: You've got a car. That's what did we figure out?

93
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: X hundred feet yards from the church as the crow

94
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: flies very close if you go the back. I've studied

95
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: that aerial view so many times. If you go to

96
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: the back of the gun shop and you walk from

97
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: there through these trees, is densely wooded area, you're in

98
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Midlothian church parking lot in less than five minutes, right, So,

99
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,679
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half after we see this car,

100
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: that's when we see some other surveillance video. This is

101
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: from inside the church. How long after we see how

102
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: long after we see the car About an hour and

103
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: a half. It's really not that long, but it was

104
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 1: approximately four twenty in the morning when Missy goes into

105
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: the church to set up her count gladiator fitness class

106
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: and he's or she, we don't even know what the

107
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: sex is. Appears in the video inside the church, caught

108
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: by several cameras, wearing the swat Light police uniform sort

109
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: of a configuration of different pieces, and a helmet. You

110
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: can't see the person's face. You can't even tell if

111
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: it's a male or a female, but you see a

112
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: distinctive walk. But nuts I would wear a helmet. It's

113
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: um like a motorcycle helmet, as Alan is saying, covered

114
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: in tactical gear, all black. It looks like to me

115
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: black tennis shoes, solid black tennis shoes, and carrying a hammer,

116
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: and carrying a hammer which they could have found within

117
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: the church. There's controversy over whether that hammer came from

118
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: inside the church or not. Yeah, the several minutes of

119
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: video that the police have released from inside the church,

120
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: it's very chilling video that shows this person wandering around

121
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the hallways of the church, checking appearing to check doors

122
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. When I say appearing, I'm

123
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: wondering if this person is kind of putting on an

124
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: act and pretending like opious. Allen stopped wondering. I can

125
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,080
Speaker 1: tell you that I can't tell you a lot, but

126
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 1: I can tell you that I've watched it over and over.

127
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like the person is wandering up and

128
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: down the halls and they get to a door and

129
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: they go rattle, rattle, and keep walking and they never

130
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: take anything. I mean, for Pete's sake, if you want money,

131
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: go into the sanctuary. I hate to even say this,

132
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: but I was gonna say, steal this crucifix, I mean,

133
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: still something made of gold, try to find the electronic equipment.

134
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: They didn't do any of that nothing. If they wanted money,

135
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 1: then use that hammer and bash open the door, knob

136
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 1: to the office and look for money. For Pete's sake. Well,

137
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: it was very obvious these people weren't there to rob,

138
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,839
Speaker 1: But you just said you didn't know if they were

139
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: really not, I can tell you they're not there. To

140
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: my point was, we don't know. It appears to me

141
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 1: that they're acting as if they weren't familiar with the

142
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: area as soon as she walks into the door. From

143
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: what we're told by investigators, and they're not telling us

144
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: a lot Off camera or at least a camera. They're

145
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: not releasing. This killer used that hammer to beat Missy

146
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: Beavers to death, puncturing her chest and just brutally killing

147
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: her right there in the hallway. The crazy thing is,

148
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: we've got all this video, and my guess is there's

149
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: a lot of video that you and I are not

150
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: seeing because the police have not released it. And there's

151
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: been tons of search warrants. There was a search warrant

152
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: for the dry cleaner when the father turned picking a

153
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: bloody shirt and he was very open at the time.

154
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: He went at this is from my dog's got into

155
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: a dog fight in the kitchen, and there was linked in.

156
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 1: There were cell phone tower searches, a T and T facebooks.

157
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm just still wondering about back to that car. I mean,

158
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: NASA can pick up a picture of a rock on

159
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: the moon, a rock you hold in your hand. Why

160
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: can't they get the tag number of that or have they?

161
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: That is another baffling thing. And let me tell you

162
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: what's been going on. There's someone I've been in communication with.

163
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: They've asked me not to name them. But this is

164
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: just a civilian. This is just a citizen who is

165
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 1: really getting into this and this person has blown up

166
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: every single frame of that parking lot video, and about

167
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: every day I can get another one sent to me.

168
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: What do you think of this? They're trying to see

169
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: what's in the INTERNI no tell me, Sorry, I'm losing

170
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: my voice. First John David got it for about a minute.

171
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: Then Lucy got it and somehow managed to wheedle her

172
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: way into a day out of school and where I

173
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: got to stay with her for hours on end and

174
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: work on her poetry project. Now I've got it. So

175
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: that's my my sack of rocks. Now I want to

176
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 1: know what they're sending you. I don't want to see it.

177
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: One of the more interesting things, and you and I

178
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: have talked about this before, is the license plate. You

179
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: just mentioned the license plate on this car, this ultimate

180
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: if you blow it up and look frame by frame

181
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: on the video. The full video has been posted online

182
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,319
Speaker 1: by the owner manager of the gun shop, not by police,

183
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: but and only in December. And of course we we

184
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: sort of broke that back in January and we looked

185
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: at it closely. But if you blow it up, the

186
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: suspicion here is that that video has been altered to

187
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: blur out the license plate. I mean, I look at

188
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 1: these frames and everything is clearer except you look and

189
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: as you follow the car, it does look like maybe

190
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: somebody has digitally blurred the license plate. So why did

191
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 1: they do that? Well, that means to me that they

192
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: must have found out who it was and totally rolled

193
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: them out, or they thought it was from the license

194
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: plate and didn't want us and everybody else all over them.

195
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: We stirred up a hornet's nest. Back in January when

196
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 1: we started talking about this and there was huge interest

197
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 1: in it, you and I both got phone calls and

198
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: emails and text messages from people in mid Lothian asking

199
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: us not to talk about this case. I don't understand that. Well,

200
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: like some people don't want the case to go away,

201
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: or they they think that somehow discussing it or us

202
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: independently investigating it as we have been doing in many

203
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: different ways, is somehow going to hurt the investigation. Well,

204
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: it looks like nothing's happening on the investigation. I think

205
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: we need to start talking about this case more because

206
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: it has been one year, because it hasn't been solved,

207
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: The police have not been giving any interviews, have not

208
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: been returning calls and they don't have to Alan, I

209
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: know that. Did you get to quote journalism school? I

210
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: did not. I was a political science pator. I was

211
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: going to go to law school. What happened to that

212
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: I actually worked in a law office, when into jailhouse, interviews,

213
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: all of that kind of thing. Well, that's enough to

214
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: turn you off from the law right there. Well I

215
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: enjoyed that, you know, did title search all the I

216
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: didn't even know that I worked for a judge. But

217
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: then what happened was I got a job at a

218
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: radio station in Carrolton, Georgia, and you know, playing Conway

219
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: Twitty and laure hot Stacks wax yes, yes, and place me.

220
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: You didn't really say that hot Stacks away. I never

221
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: did that. And then I started doing news there and

222
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: you know, riding around with the cops and doing all

223
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: that in a small town of Carrolton, Georgia. And I

224
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: just fell in love with that. And somehow you landed

225
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: in the lap of luxury in l A with all

226
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: your Hollywood friends. That was many years later, many years later,

227
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 1: still where you landed. I'm just saying, okay, you know

228
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: what enough of why you didn't go to law school.

229
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: Let's get back to Missy Babers, I don't blame you.

230
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,320
Speaker 1: If I had interviewed a lot of criminals behind bars,

231
00:13:58,320 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: that would have totally turned me off. I would have

232
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: for out in the whole thing and run for the hills,

233
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: as if I had seen a monster. Okay, now back

234
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: to Missy. That we were talking about why everybody's clamming up, Well,

235
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: they are one of the reasons. Actually, we got some

236
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: communication from Brandon Beavers who said that he didn't like

237
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: us talking about it because he was afraid we would

238
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: anger the killer who's still out there, which is a

239
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: really good point because there's a small town. He's got

240
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: three young daughters. He's worried about their safety, but he's

241
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: worried that the more publicity this thing gets could anger

242
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: the killer who is still out there. No one has

243
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 1: released a statement, no words. It's made two thousand sixteen,

244
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: that was a month after Missy was murdered. They released

245
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: the image of the Ultima that was driving around the

246
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: s w F, a gun store which is very close

247
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: to the church, at two am. The perp is in

248
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: the church about an hour later. I say, that's just

249
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,120
Speaker 1: no coincidence. Two hours after the ultimas driving around in

250
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: the gun store parking lot. Missy's murdered. Now, we were

251
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: all told this was not a suspect vehicle, but it

252
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: was possibly one. Well, I recalled the police saying it

253
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: was not a suspect vehicle, but that police were interested

254
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: in speaking to the owner, that maybe they saw something.

255
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: That morning. Brandon Beaver spoke out. Then he was caught

256
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: in his driveway. He spoke again, He spoke with his dad.

257
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 1: There was a press conference, there was a release, an

258
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: image of the Ultima was released. See to me if

259
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: they had ruled the car out while released the image.

260
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 1: Long story short, we still don't know a darned thing.

261
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: There was all the speculation the killer was a woman.

262
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: But I still say if they had done the sting

263
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: ray data dump and figured out what cell phones were

264
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: in the area and active between one and four o'clock

265
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: in the morning, we would have learned a lot. Of course,

266
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: the killer may have known to cut the cell phone off. Remember, yeah,

267
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: cut the phone off, take the battery out, do all

268
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: of those things, or not even bring a cell phone

269
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: with you. You know, you don't have to post on

270
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: Facebook necessarily as you're killing somebody. Now. Also, it was

271
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: reported to the police. Digital evidence seen in the ultima

272
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: linked the car to the church. Digital evidence can be

273
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: seen in the ultima linking it to the church. I

274
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 1: do know if you blow up the images and we

275
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: can share some of these blown up images that have

276
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: been shared with me, you will see the form of

277
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: different things inside the car that could be you could

278
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: be interpreted, well, like a fireman's tool. That's one theory

279
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: that if you look in the back seat you see

280
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: a fireman's tool. Well, does that mean it's linked to

281
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: the church in that it looks like the same weapon.

282
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: I think so, Yes, you can see different boxes, but

283
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: I really don't know that you can craw conclusion. I

284
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: have squinted and looked at these images. I think somebody

285
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: with better eyes will have to figure that out than me.

286
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't see it as conclusive. Well, I believe what

287
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: it was a specific frame that shows the police swap

288
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: tactical vest in the back seat and the mallet that

289
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: you're describing that they believe police believe was a murder

290
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: weapon and another tool seen on the back dashboard the police.

291
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 1: Midlothian Police state they were not aware these items existed

292
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: in the vehicle and reinforce. The surveillance video was completed

293
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: back in May. Well, you know they're climbing. They don't

294
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: have the ability to enhance it any further. Well can

295
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: the Feds? I mean, for Pete's sake, if you can

296
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: get better video than that enhancement at Walmart. There is again,

297
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: this person I was telling a private citizen has been

298
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: really pushing the police to do just that. This person

299
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: has spent a lot of time in doing that. There's

300
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: an organization that does this, that has offered to help

301
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 1: Midlothian police do this, and from what I understand, they've

302
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: not taken them. Are you talking about the Center for

303
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: Media Forensics That yes, yes, man, they should give it

304
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: a crack Repete's sake, and they have a grant from

305
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: the FEDS, the d o J. Maybe this is happening

306
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: all behind the scenes and we just don't know about it.

307
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean, they helped with the boss to marathon bombings,

308
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: didn't they? Yes, yes, I I think so. What's baffling

309
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: to me on this first anniversary of Missy's murder is

310
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: that we've not heard from Midlothian Police in more than

311
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: six months. They've declined our requests for interviews. Now, I

312
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 1: did get a response just yesterday from the husband, Brandon Beavers,

313
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: to my invitation to him to speak to us, and

314
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: here's what he wrote me in an email. The family

315
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: has unilaterally decided not to do any interviews. We've elected

316
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 1: not to memorialize the date of the event, but to

317
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: celebrate her life in private instead. Okay, let's move on

318
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: from the car. Let's talk about what else we do know.

319
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: We know that either Missy and or Brandon were romantically

320
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: linked to other people. The police were not clear. They

321
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: made it fairly obvious that it was Missy. We also know,

322
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm not judging her. I'm not

323
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: proud of everything I've ever done in my life either.

324
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: All I care about is a felony. Everything else is

325
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: a lifestyle choice, and I don't care. But I know

326
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: that she was away the wee can before in Austin,

327
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: and she was not with her husband and children. Did

328
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 1: she meet somebody? There is there an angry lover or

329
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: an angry spouse that has it out for Missy? I mean,

330
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: you've got to look at the behavioral evidence as well

331
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 1: when you run dry on scientific So what do we

332
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: know other than its lead she had affairs. They searched

333
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: her iPhone six, they searched her Facebook page, they searched

334
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 1: text messages and that sort of thing, and they found,

335
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: as you said, evidence of relationships. This is all in

336
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: the search warrants. So this this part is out in

337
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: the open. But just because you have an affair with

338
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: somebody doesn't mean that they're going to kill you or

339
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: a spouse is going to kill you. It could have

340
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: been something else. But how could this be totally random

341
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 1: when this so much appeared to So we can quit

342
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: talking about that wasting my wasting my breath. What about

343
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 1: Brandon Weavers, who is not a suspect, who is not

344
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 1: a p y personal interest. Now, he was out on

345
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 1: a long planned fishing trip. I think he tries to

346
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 1: take it every year, fishing slash gambling. Was it in Mississippi,

347
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 1: wasn't it? Bloxi? Yes, And Christie Stout, his sister, had

348
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: described that trip. But some research shows that there was

349
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 1: not an American Airlines flight out of DFW handed to

350
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: that location that day. Well, for all I know, it

351
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: could have been a different airline, it could have been Scotch.

352
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,640
Speaker 1: I'm going to assume police have verified and they look

353
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: at yes, of course. I mean that's the routine that

354
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: you that you tell us about all the time. The

355
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: first person you look at is the spouse to the boyfriend.

356
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 1: Right when you look at the charter company that was

357
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: taking them fishing, they did They do have one boat

358
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: trip featured on their website. That's the trip Beavers was

359
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be on a year ago today. The group

360
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: was described on the website as a group of guys

361
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: from Texas. All right, that to me checks out to

362
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 1: a large degree. You gotta stick with a husband to

363
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 1: a certain extent, because that's always the prime person the

364
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: target police look at. But I found Brandon Beavers to

365
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: be pretty open. He would come forward and speak. Have

366
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: you noticed that when husband's except for Dreu Peterson, husbands

367
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,400
Speaker 1: that kill usually don't speak. They hide out, they don't

368
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: come forward, remember Scott Peterson. I mean, I can give

369
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: you a million off the top of my head, but

370
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: Beavers didn't do that. His out front and center from

371
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: the get go. Brandon Beavers was very outspoken early. But

372
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: I can tell you he is not talking now. I

373
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: wonder why why he sent me an email and we

374
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: had a phone conversation basically the bottom line being he

375
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 1: does not want this to be publicly discussed. He wants

376
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:30,360
Speaker 1: this just to be investigated by police outside of the public,

377
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: because he thinks the speculation is a danger to his family.

378
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 1: He thinks that because of the speculation that the killer

379
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: who's still free. Obviously, I mean we know that. That's

380
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: one thing we know is the killer is still free. Okay,

381
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: this is what we can do today. We can release

382
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: the pictures that you have obtained on the crime online

383
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 1: dot com website so everyone can look at them. We

384
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: can release any other information if possible. Some of it

385
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: we cannot release because we promised we wouldn't. Some we can.

386
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: Let's do that Alan. Having everybody looking at it may help.

387
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: I don't understand why they've clammed up. I don't understand

388
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: why they're not speaking. I find it hard to believe

389
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: they can't enhance the evidence any further. What more can

390
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: we be looking at now? Well, we can expect at

391
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: some point, maybe on the anniversary, that at least mid

392
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,640
Speaker 1: Lothian Police will give us an update, will make some

393
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: sort of statement. We will continue our investigation into the

394
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 1: death of Missy Beavers. It's getting more and more difficult

395
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: to call information from a group that are locked up

396
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: tight and won't speak and I don't really understand that.

397
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 1: But on this day we're thinking of the family and

398
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: thinking of Brandon Beavers especially. I'm thinking of those children,

399
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,239
Speaker 1: her three girls that are left behind Alan. What's our

400
