It unintentionally turned into sort of a rant episode.
Sorry about that, y'all.
How can a vibrant, successful doctor not know evil was lurking in her own home?
A sinister plan, that's how.
When Missy arrived to work on Monday, April 18, 2016, she was brave. She heard something and kept going.
We know the killer was a coward, dressed up like that and sneaking around to scare Missy.
Stay tuned for a discussion of how things likely happened that horrifying morning at Creekside Church in Midlothian, Texas.
Recently, Midlothian Police gave an update regarding the Missy Bevers murder investigation.
Someone hand us a scalpel, we're about to do some dissecting!
