Who killed Terri ‘Missy' Bevers? Search continues 10 years later
Apr 15, 2026
Police are still searching for the suspect in the brutal murder of fitness instructor Missy Bevers inside a Midlothian church.
The Midlothian community will mark 10 years since Bevers’ death on Saturday, April 18.
Missy Bevers, a mother of three, was preparing to lead a morning workout at Cr
eekside Church on April 18, 2016, when police say someone wearing tactical gear killed her. This tragic loss continues to be felt by her family, friends, and our entire community.
Surveillance video captured the person walking inside the church.
Authorities say Bevers died from puncture wounds to her head and chest. No one has yet been held accountable for her death. Police also said no one has been ruled out as a suspect.
Police say this is an active, ongoing investigation, not a “cold case.”
Last year, the members of the ‘True Crime Broads’ podcast set up a tent surrounded by signs at Heritage Park across the street from City Hall to keep attention on the case.
The Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Rangers, Ellis County District Attorney’s Office, and federal agencies are all assisting in the investigation.
