Missy Bevers' 2016 Midlothian murder remains unsolved 10 years later
As we approach 10 years since the murder of Missy Bevers, her case remains unsolved.
Police say the investigation is active, and there's a push to keep her name in the public eye.
"Our goal is to just keep her case alive," Renae Rodden said.
Rodden first met Bevers in 2013. They were coworkers at a denim company and quickly became close.
"Missy was very kind, loving, you could tell she really cared," she said.
She was a wife and mother of three who had a passion for fitness.
Podcast hosts revisit the case
As the 10‑year date since her murder approaches, Rodden and Crystal Lawson are hosting a special episode of their podcast, True Crime Broads, to go over the case.
"We just really wanted to let people get to know her," Lawson said. "She was not just a statistic."
Missy's case is one many North Texans still remember.
Surveillance video still haunts investigators
April 18, 2016, surveillance video shows a person in tactical gear walking through Creekside Church in Midlothian.
Missy was there preparing to lead an early morning workout when she was murdered.
"The person is walking around in the church, and it is very creepy," Rodden said. "You can't tell if it's a man or a woman, so people are very interested in trying to figure out who it is."
Police say case remains active
Police say this is still an active case.
In the last year, they've received more than 100 leads from all over the world. They're using new forensic technology to investigate and say no one has been ruled out as a suspect.
"That's good news because most things after this many years would be ice cold," Lawson said.
Loved ones hope someone speaks up
"Somebody out there knows something," Rodden said.
"I'm hoping that since it's been 10 years, there are relationships that may have changed," Susan McConnell said. "Situations have changed, and people will be encouraged to come forward."
"We need justice for her; not only does the family need it, the community needs it," Rodden said.
