Episode 87: The Murder of Missy Bevers

from Homebrew Murder Crew

Before dawn on April 18, 2016, fitness instructor Missy Bevers arrived at Creekside Church of Christ in Midlothian, Texas, ready to lead her early‑morning boot camp. Within an hour, she would be found brutally murdered—her killer already vanished into the darkness.Surveillance footage revealed the now‑infamous figure: a person dressed head‑to‑toe in SWAT‑style tactical gear, wandering the church’s halls with chilling calm, smashing windows, opening doors, and waiting. Their identity remains one of the most haunting mysteries in modern true crime.In this episode, we break down the timeline, the bizarre behavior caught on camera, the tangled web of theories—from targeted attack to staged burglary—and the unanswered questions that still keep investigators and armchair sleuths awake at night. Was the killer someone Missy knew? A stranger with a grudge? Or a phantom who slipped in and out with military precision?Join us as we walk the echoing hallways, sift through the clues, and explore why this case continues to grip the true‑crime world a decade later.Sources: https://www.fox4news.com/news/missy-bevers-murder-10-years-since-unsolved-midlothian-church-killinghttps://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/a-new-view-of-midlothian-murder-suspect/287-143107339https://www.cbsnews.com/news/docs-church-murder-victim-terri-missy-bevers-received-creepy-linkedin-message/https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/missy-bevers-murder-ten-years-unsolved-midlothian-investigation/https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/midlothian-police-to-release-more-video-in-bevers-murder-case/https://open.spotify.com/show/717smRLOKk8hgmhBAV5wr9?si=r3nirygcS2qZFR6H2ZtX0A Hosted on Acast.

Chinook Realm Religion and crime collide when a gruesome murder rocks the isolated community of Chinook, Montana. Local Deputy Ruth Vogel thought she was answering a routine animal control call, only to find a mangled corpse on the frozen embankment. Her small town is whipped into a frenzy and everyone is quick to point their fingers at a drug-addicted teenager, but Ruth suspects connections to a powerful religious group. Enter Agent Loro, an enigmatic FBI investigator tracking an evangelical cult that may have roots right here in Chinook. Loro and Ruth form a cautious partnership to find the killer—but as the mystery winds through Ruth’s life, her family, and her church, she’ll discover something more sinister than murder is afoot.Binge all episodes of Chinook exclusively and ad-free by joining Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
