Caught on Camera: The Chilling Church Murder of Missy Bevers
On April 18, 2016, 45-year-old fitness instructor Missy Bevers arrived early at Creekside Church in Midlothian, Texas, to set up for a boot camp class. Less than an hour later, she was found brutally murdered inside. Surveillance footage captured a chilling figure dressed in full SWAT gear roaming the church halls, wielding what appeared to be a hammer. The suspect’s slow, deliberate movements—almost staged—have fueled theories and speculation for years.
Despite the eerie video, the case remains unsolved. Missy had no known enemies, yet investigators uncovered troubling details: a cryptic LinkedIn message she received days before her murder, reports of marital struggles, and a warrant revealing her father-in-law had a bloody shirt—though it was later attributed to an animal.
Join us as Arlene and Leah unravel one of Texas' most bizarre and unsettling murder mysteries—where a crime was caught on tape, yet the truth remains just out of reach.
