Do you ever have a story that

0:34

you just can't get out of your

0:36

head? One that you play

0:38

the details of over and

0:40

over with your friends. Well,

0:42

you've come to the right

0:44

place. I'm Claire. And I'm

0:46

Susan. And this is Justice

0:48

Pending. A weekly true crime

0:50

podcast where we discuss tantalizing

0:53

crimes with more questions and

0:55

answers. Thanks for joining us. Do

1:00

you ever get the feeling that

1:02

someone is watching you? Maybe there's

1:04

a chill in the air or

1:07

a creek in the floorboards and

1:09

you just know someone is around

1:11

the corner. For most of us,

1:13

it's just that, a feeling, and

1:15

there's no real danger. But for

1:18

Missy Beavers, the danger was very

1:20

real. It was an early rainy

1:22

morning when Missy left her house

1:24

and drove to her regular fitness

1:26

class. As the instructor, Missy wanted

1:29

to get in the building before

1:31

anyone else to set up. Little

1:33

did she know, her killer was

1:35

already there. This case

1:37

has fascinated me ever since

1:39

it happened. I live in

1:41

Dallas and I remember when

1:43

there was just wall-to-wall media

1:45

coverage of the Missy Beaver

1:48

case. So let's set the

1:50

scene. Missy Beavers was found

1:52

dead on the morning of

1:54

April 18th, 2016 at Creekside

1:56

Church in Midlothian, Texas, a

1:58

town just outside Dallas. This was

2:00

a baffling crime for so many

2:02

reasons. Missy was a fitness instructor

2:05

with camp gladiator and this was

2:07

one of her regular group fitness

2:09

classes. She was 45 years old,

2:12

married with children and didn't have

2:14

any known enemies. So right off

2:16

the bat, people are wondering, could

2:18

this be a random crime? But

2:21

that doesn't make sense because

2:23

she's inside a church at

2:25

4.30 a. Why would any

2:27

random criminal be there? Yeah,

2:29

and I'm sure this is,

2:31

I mean, if she's a

2:33

regular fitness teacher, this is

2:35

her regular routine. So if

2:37

anyone had been hanging out

2:39

or living in the church

2:41

illegally, you know, any number

2:43

of options or, you know,

2:45

why they would be there,

2:47

it just seems strange that

2:49

on one morning out of

2:51

all the random morning, she

2:53

was there that this happened.

2:56

Right, and her body was

2:58

discovered around 5am by members

3:00

of her workout class who

3:02

called 911. That call has

3:04

never been released because the

3:06

investigation is still ongoing. Okay,

3:08

so let's run down the

3:10

information that has been shared

3:12

publicly about Missy's case. She

3:14

died of puncture wounds, to

3:16

the head and chest, and

3:18

police described the murder weapon

3:20

as a hammer. It's really

3:22

horrific to imagine, and even

3:24

though the details are limited,

3:26

it's very graphic. You know,

3:28

another key fact is that

3:30

the killer was caught on

3:32

video surveillance walking around the

3:34

church, opening doors, peaking around

3:36

corners, and generally being incredibly

3:38

creepy. So we have this

3:40

two minute YouTube video of

3:42

the killer dressed head to

3:45

toe in police tactical gear,

3:47

a helmet covers the face.

3:49

You cannot see any distinguishing

3:51

features of the face and

3:53

It's clearly marked as a

3:55

police uniform. So where was

3:57

this obtained from? Who's... You

3:59

know, who did it belong

4:01

to? We don't know. But

4:03

we see this person who's

4:05

never been identified to this

4:07

day stalking around this church

4:10

for two minutes is the video

4:12

that's been released. We know, you

4:14

know, they might have been there

4:16

much longer, I'm sure. But this

4:19

two minute video is just

4:21

haunting. And I mean, the

4:23

fact that. the murder was committed

4:25

with a hammer when the person

4:27

clearly had a gun, it just

4:29

seems to me a gun is

4:31

way more efficient at filling someone

4:34

sure louder, but it's 4.30 and

4:36

the more, I mean, it's early

4:38

and you're inside a building, right?

4:40

And so it just seems more

4:42

personal almost to get up

4:44

close to someone and then

4:46

close enough to be within

4:48

arms distance of them to bludgeon

4:51

them to death. I agree. The

4:53

nature of the crime with the

4:55

hammer definitely indicates some type of,

4:57

you know, crime of passion. And

4:59

a gun was found at the

5:02

scene. It's never been publicly identified

5:04

if they've been able to trace

5:07

the weapon. What I think is

5:09

interesting, and I'm sure police have

5:11

combed through this, is that it's

5:13

not like any other morning there

5:15

was someone haunting the halls.

5:17

Right? It was just specifically this

5:20

morning, it was just specifically

5:22

this person who I don't

5:24

actually know if anyone has

5:26

been able to identify the person

5:28

as male or female, that this

5:30

person was the one, I mean, really lying

5:33

in wait for whoever to show up.

5:35

I'm not even sure we know if Missy

5:37

Beavers was the intended target or

5:39

got in the way. It would

5:41

seem likely that she was the

5:44

intended target, considering it was her

5:46

regular. fitness class, but

5:48

it certainly is worth

5:50

noting that I'm not sure

5:53

it's been released if police

5:55

went back in time and

5:57

looked for a similar person.

6:00

wandering the halls. So they

6:02

never found anyone on previous video

6:04

footage doing this in the church.

6:06

The church had not been burglarized.

6:08

Nothing had been stolen. So it

6:10

does point to the fact that

6:12

someone for whatever reason was targeting

6:14

Missy. And her workout information, she

6:16

had a flyer that she would

6:19

post on social media, you know,

6:21

even if it's raining, we're training,

6:23

she talked about. you know, where

6:25

her classes were, how to get

6:27

there, what time, what to bring.

6:29

And so anyone who wanted to

6:31

find her in the early morning

6:33

hours would know where to go

6:35

and would know that she would

6:38

get there before her students to

6:40

set up for the class. And

6:42

so that really put a lot

6:44

of scrutiny on camp gladiator itself.

6:46

on the people that she worked

6:48

with, fellow instructors, people who attended

6:50

her classes, who would be very

6:52

familiar with her routine and the

6:54

fact that she would get there

6:57

early. Most people wouldn't think that

6:59

you would need to get to

7:01

a workout class 30 minutes before

7:03

it started if you were teaching

7:05

it, but in the case of

7:07

Camp Gladiator, you needed to do

7:09

that because it wasn't taught at

7:11

normal fitness centers that have all

7:13

the equipment already there. So she

7:16

had to actually bring that herself.

7:18

And so she gets. to the

7:20

church, she gets all her equipment

7:22

out of her vehicle, gets it

7:24

into the into the building, and

7:26

at that point, is attacked. And

7:28

we don't have video footage of

7:30

the attack that's been released, and

7:32

we wouldn't want to see it

7:35

if we did, but it's a

7:37

matter of minutes that she is

7:39

attacked, and this person is able

7:41

to. leave the church and make

7:43

a clean getaway and no one

7:45

has been able to identify there's

7:47

a couple vehicles of interest but

7:49

no one has been able to

7:51

identify exactly how they left and

7:54

in what vehicle that they left

7:56

in and so just remains a

7:58

mystery. What was missy's physique? I

8:00

mean we can surmise that she

8:02

was in shape but was she

8:04

tall? I know she was 45

8:06

like what was she? I believe

8:08

that you would look at and

8:10

say oh I could attack you

8:13

no problem because right she was

8:15

petite she was very fit she

8:17

had undergone a major physical transformation

8:19

after having her kids and they

8:21

were getting older and she was

8:23

wanting to feel like herself again

8:25

and had started really throwing herself

8:27

into these workouts and eventually became

8:29

an instructor and was really proud

8:31

of her body and was really

8:34

proud of the fact that she

8:36

had found new strength and you

8:38

know had this new community of

8:40

people. Something that comes up often

8:42

is that the weekend before her killing

8:44

is that she was in Austin

8:46

for a camp gladiator conference and so

8:48

people have pointed to could that conference

8:51

have been some type of instigator for

8:53

this. Oh man, only because, just chronologically,

8:55

the last major event of her life.

8:58

Do we know if there were any

9:00

altercations? Did you have any words

9:02

with anyone at that conference? I mean, you

9:04

can, I imagine fitness conferences

9:06

are happy, played videos, right? I

9:09

mean, you're working out. I mean,

9:11

unless you're, you got a Royed

9:13

rage happening, which I don't even

9:15

think happens anymore. You know, it

9:17

seems like people who joined fitness

9:19

communities are very positive, very happy.

9:22

So it's the timing to me is

9:24

a coincidence, but yeah, I guess we

9:26

never know. It's never been established

9:28

that there is a connection. It's

9:31

just that was her main network.

9:33

That's really who she associated with.

9:35

And so people wondered, and she

9:38

was killed at work, you know,

9:40

so people wondered if it could

9:42

be related. But the fact that

9:45

the killer was wearing police

9:47

tactical gear, you know, it

9:49

reminded me of another killer who took

9:51

on that. uniform as well and

9:53

that was Eric Williams. He was a

9:55

former justice of the peace who got

9:57

fired for stealing office equipment and just

10:00

went absolutely insane with revenge. He

10:02

wore full police tactical gear and

10:04

started picking off Kaufman County officials

10:06

in 2013. And so he killed

10:08

Mark Hasse, who was a prosecutor

10:11

for Kaufman County, and then he

10:13

killed Mike McClellan and his wife

10:15

Cynthia. And Mike was the Kaufman

10:17

County District Attorney. And so he

10:20

went on this rampage and he

10:22

was always dressed in this tactical

10:24

gear. And so people, you know,

10:26

when you first see someone head

10:28

to toe police tactical gear, you

10:31

trust them. Oh, they should have

10:33

a gun. Oh, they should be,

10:35

you know, walking alone in this

10:37

dark alley. Like there's no thought

10:40

that the police aren't supposed to

10:42

be there, but it's actually this

10:44

incredibly sinister wolf and sheep's clothing.

10:46

It is a killer dressed up.

10:48

as law enforcement. So I have

10:51

to ask because it's always the

10:53

way, what do we know about

10:55

the husband? Yeah, everyone does always

10:57

go to the husband and in

11:00

this case, so Missy was married

11:02

to her husband Brandon, they'd been

11:04

married for about 20 years, and

11:06

he has an ironclad alibi. So

11:08

he was on a fishing trip

11:11

in Mississippi, a regular fishing trip

11:13

that he took with his buddies

11:15

every year. And there's credit card

11:17

receipts, there's surveillance video, there's gas

11:20

purchases. He was hundreds of miles

11:22

away in Mississippi when this murder

11:24

occurred. Now, that hasn't stopped people

11:26

from saying that, you know, this

11:28

was a hired hit, that he

11:31

was somehow involved. But whenever police

11:33

initially released persons of interest in

11:35

this case, they actually had eight

11:37

different people that were considered persons

11:40

of interest. And Brandon was one

11:42

of them. And he was very

11:44

open about that. He talked about

11:46

how of course they have to

11:48

look at me. I am her

11:51

husband. I am the closest person

11:53

to her. Like they have to

11:55

look. at me and I will

11:57

go in and talk to them

12:00

as much as they want me

12:02

to. I spoke with Brandon, you

12:04

know, on the phone, I wrote

12:06

him a letter, I talked to

12:08

him a good bit for 48

12:11

hours on CVS and actually didn't

12:13

interview with him that never aired.

12:15

because it was yeah yeah we

12:17

did an interview at his house

12:20

and I interviewed two daughters of

12:22

Missy and Brandon as well and

12:24

you know they were just really

12:26

wrecked with this this crime the

12:28

fact that it's unsolved the fact

12:31

that they their whole family's

12:33

been under scrutiny for many

12:35

years and so many people

12:37

believe that Brandon is somehow

12:39

behind this and I will

12:41

tell you after meeting with

12:43

so many different suspects

12:45

in my life and so many

12:48

different killers. Brandon did not

12:50

come across as though he had

12:52

anything to hide. He was very

12:54

forthcoming. He talked about the good,

12:56

the bad, and the ugly, told

12:58

police and me about the fact

13:01

that after 20 years of marriage,

13:03

he and Missy had decided

13:05

that they were no longer going

13:07

to be monogamous, that they were

13:09

going to have an open marriage.

13:11

And that was, you know, that's

13:13

pretty shocking information for a lot

13:15

of people. But in rural Texas, it's

13:18

even more so. And so the fact

13:20

that he was open about that and

13:22

admitted it, of course, he said, I

13:24

never imagined this would be something that

13:26

ever went outside the walls of our

13:28

home that anyone would know this, but.

13:30

you know, this is what was going

13:33

on and we both were seeing other

13:35

people at the time she was killed.

13:37

Now that was an incredible piece of

13:40

information and it definitely expanded the investigation

13:42

and made it look like anything was

13:44

possible in terms of who might have

13:47

reason to kill Missy in terms of

13:49

jealousy. So if she was seeing other

13:51

people, were those other people married? Could,

13:54

you know, it could have been a

13:56

jilted lover of hers or of his

13:58

or of a partner? of theirs.

14:00

And so, you know, the target

14:02

numbers, that's what they called,

14:04

the police called it because they

14:06

were targeting cell phone numbers

14:08

of the people that Missy most

14:11

commonly communicated with. And that

14:13

became the eight persons of interest.

14:15

And so there were two

14:17

different couples on there who were

14:19

involved in Camp Gladiator, husband

14:21

and wives. There was her husband,

14:23

Brandon, of course, there were

14:25

other family members, including her father

14:27

-in -law, Randy Beavers. And so

14:29

everyone was getting looked at. And

14:31

while police are going through

14:33

this list and they got a

14:35

search warrant for all these

14:37

cell phone records, and they're starting

14:39

to really go through them

14:41

and figure out who was she

14:44

communicating with in the days,

14:46

you know, before her killing. And

14:48

right at that time, they

14:50

get an unexpected phone call. And

14:52

it's from a local dry

14:54

cleaner saying that someone has just

14:56

dropped off a bloody shirt

14:58

to be cleaned. Well, that sounds

15:00

odd. Yeah. And the item

15:02

is a women's extra large white

15:04

sweatshirt. And the person who

15:06

dropped it off is Randy Beavers,

15:08

Missy's father -in -law and one

15:10

of the publicly known persons of

15:12

interest in her murder. Well,

15:14

that just seems too convenient, doesn't

15:17

it? It really does. And

15:19

when he dropped off the shirt

15:21

covered in blood, Randy told

15:23

the dry cleaners that it was

15:25

animal blood. He said there'd

15:27

been a dog fight and the

15:29

blood is from his wife's

15:31

Chihuahua of all things. And, you

15:33

know, authorities weren't taking any

15:35

chances. They seized the sweatshirt. They

15:37

sent it off for DNA

15:39

testing. And the news cycle just

15:41

went into a frenzy. I'm

15:43

sure. I am sure. I mean,

15:45

that seems like such a

15:47

quick and easy thing to conclude

15:49

or, you know, disprove, right?

15:52

Yes, absolutely. So thankfully, it didn't

15:54

take long for them to

15:56

do the DNA testing. And it

15:58

was just a few days

16:00

later that Randy was confirmed. The blood was not

16:02

human. The timing, extremely unfortunate, to bring

16:04

in a bloody sweatshirt just four

16:06

days after a brutal murder in

16:09

your own family. So naturally investigators

16:11

had to look into this and

16:13

the dry cleaner was completely right

16:15

to call it in, but you know

16:17

it was far from the only tip

16:19

that police received. By the one month

16:22

anniversary of the murder there were over

16:24

a thousand tips that had been sent

16:26

in to the Midlothian Police Department. Wow

16:28

and so did any of those pan

16:31

well first let's back up how

16:33

big is the Midlothian police department

16:35

how quickly are they able to

16:37

sift through these leads so it's

16:39

not it's not large they're not

16:41

used to a lot of violent

16:43

crime in Midlothian it is like

16:45

you know stealing cattle it's property crimes

16:47

it's not a lot of violent

16:50

murder it is just a sleepy

16:52

country town, people a lot of

16:54

times have property, they have animals.

16:57

I know there was a cowboy

16:59

church down the street that the

17:01

Beavers family went to, and so

17:04

it was just kind of a

17:06

classic small town, Texas life.

17:08

And so the Midlothian

17:11

Police Department was not

17:13

accustomed to having a case with

17:15

national international interest. It's not like

17:17

it was, you know, Dallas or

17:20

Houston or Austin. And it's such

17:22

a shocking crime in and of

17:24

itself, but it's a happen in a very,

17:26

what sounds like, sleepy, you know,

17:28

everyone knows their neighbors, there's always

17:31

running around. I mean, it just

17:33

sounds so idyllic. And then here you

17:35

have a tactical gear dressed person

17:37

stalking a victim one fine morning.

17:39

I mean, it's so crazy. So

17:41

did any of these leads. amount

17:43

to anything or any clues or

17:45

so they definitely led to lots

17:48

of police work lots of interviews

17:50

you know probably one of the

17:52

biggest ones is from the YouTube

17:54

video you see this suspect

17:56

walking around and it's sort

17:58

of this meandering and it

18:00

stood out as really distinctive. And

18:03

people picked up on that and

18:05

they said, you know anyone who

18:07

walks like that? One of the

18:10

feet is like almost pointed out,

18:12

it's almost like they're bow legged.

18:14

And people, you know, were really

18:17

starting to send in people that

18:19

they thought had a limp that

18:21

walked strangely, that could possibly. be

18:23

similar. And so the Midlothian Police

18:26

Department actually ended up reaching out

18:28

to a podiatrist to analyze the

18:30

footage for any specific patterns in

18:33

the gate of the suspect. They

18:35

were able to determine that the

18:37

suspect was between five feet two

18:40

inches and five feet seven inches

18:42

based on where they lined up,

18:44

you know, on various points in

18:47

the church, you know, heights of

18:49

doors and lengths of walls and

18:51

everything else. And so. That was

18:54

an interesting statistic just because most

18:56

people 5 foot 2 to 5

18:58

foot 7 are women not men.

19:01

That's right. Yeah, and and since

19:03

the whole face was covered, right,

19:05

and never know and a gun

19:08

was not used, it was a

19:10

bludening so and it was a

19:12

surprise attack. So and it was

19:15

a surprise attack. So and it

19:17

was a surprise attack. So and

19:19

it was a surprise attack. So

19:22

and it was a surprise attack.

19:24

anyone. I mean, male or female.

19:26

Right. Yes. And one of the

19:29

ways that the walk had been

19:31

described even by the podiatrist was

19:33

a feminine sway. And so it

19:35

was sort of possible that, you

19:38

know, between the height, the feminine

19:40

sway, the complete covering of chest,

19:42

head, everything almost intentionally to, you

19:45

know, you have to wonder if

19:47

they wanted to disguise the fact

19:49

that they were female. assuming they're

19:52

female because that's pretty a unique

19:54

demographic to be committing this crime

19:56

and of course if you're

19:59

a woman, it'd just

20:01

be lovely if they thought the

20:03

killer was a man and you

20:05

can completely go under the radar

20:07

here. So bulletproof vest, the giant

20:09

helmet, you could not tell if

20:11

this was a man or a

20:13

woman. And so

20:15

the getaway. So this

20:17

person gets away scoffery

20:19

clean. Is there

20:21

anything leading up to the day, leading

20:23

up to the hours where there's

20:25

a, I mean, I imagine there are

20:28

very few cars on the road,

20:30

especially in that area, that time of

20:32

day. Do we have any surveillance?

20:34

We do. A car. So

20:36

another really compelling piece of video

20:38

evidence was from a neighboring business

20:40

that captured a car cruising the

20:42

parking lot around the time of

20:44

the murder. It was dark and

20:46

it was raining. And so the

20:48

license plate of the vehicle wasn't

20:50

visible, but authorities did identify the

20:53

Macon model as a Nissan

20:55

Altima sedan and they believe

20:57

it's light in color. And

20:59

there's some kind of oval

21:01

bumper sticker. Again, the

21:03

rain was so hard that it

21:05

obscured the numbers on the license

21:07

plate and any kind of design

21:10

or writing on the bumper sticker.

21:12

So to this day, the car's

21:14

owner has never been identified. So

21:16

they have this mysterious car. It's

21:18

a Nissan Altima sedan, light colored, could

21:20

be a million cars. And no

21:22

one ever came forward, you know,

21:24

as far as I know and

21:26

said, I think I know someone who

21:28

drives that car and they also

21:31

have a bumper sticker, you know. And

21:33

so it was just wall to wall,

21:35

this video on loop. I can

21:37

see it in my head right

21:39

now of this Nissan Altima slowly

21:41

circling this parking lot around

21:44

4 a .m. And you're

21:46

just like, what are they doing

21:48

there? The stores are all closed. It

21:50

doesn't make any sense. And so

21:52

people have really wondered if possibly it

21:54

was the killer who was waiting around

21:56

for Missy to arrive and to

21:58

pull into the church and to. go inside

22:00

and then you know they could they

22:02

could make their entry. Can you see

22:05

from this parking lot where it's seen

22:07

driving around slowly and casually is can

22:09

you see the church parking lot? Could

22:11

you see from there where when Missy

22:14

would have arrived? I know it's it's

22:16

described as a nearby business. I don't

22:18

remember the exact layout of the streets

22:21

and if it's actually visible but having

22:23

been to the church myself and being

22:25

familiar with Midlothian It's all very one

22:27

story. Like things, there's not a lot

22:30

of things obscuring your vision. It's sort

22:32

of the classic range where you can

22:34

see for miles and miles and miles.

22:37

So I would not be surprised if

22:39

in this parking lot, you could also

22:41

view the church because it's very common

22:43

to just be able to see right

22:46

across the highway and there's this building

22:48

and there's, you know, and you could

22:50

see. But again, it was raining rather

22:52

hard. So there's a lot that's unknown

22:55

about. the significance of this car. It

22:57

really and truly could be someone who

22:59

was out driving and oh my gosh

23:02

this rain is so hard we better

23:04

pull into a parking lot until it

23:06

slows down and then we can get

23:08

back on the freeway. But the fact

23:11

that no one ever came forward if

23:13

they weren't involved you would think you

23:15

would be like that was me I

23:18

drive my Nissan Ultima I have nothing

23:20

to do with this murder you know

23:22

take my DNA do whatever you need

23:24

to do but you know at least

23:27

you could rule something out because the

23:29

community was completely terrified, of course, right?

23:31

Of course, yeah. After this murder, and

23:34

they were really galvanized to try and

23:36

solve it. There were billboards all over

23:38

Dallas Fort Worth, who killed Missy Beavers.

23:40

You know, people were doing podcasts. They

23:43

were going on, you know, the CBS

23:45

Morning Show, talking about this. People wanted

23:47

Justice for Missy, and they still do.

23:50

And here we are eight years later.

23:52

And no one has ever been arrested.

23:54

So of the eight persons of interest,

23:56

you know, they were able to get

23:59

all of their cell phones to a

24:01

deep dive into that. They really scrutinize

24:03

Brandon, her husband's alibi. You know, nothing

24:05

has ever pointed to a clear

24:08

suspect. There have been

24:10

lots of theories thrown

24:12

around. One of probably

24:14

the stronger ones was

24:16

a former security guard

24:18

who had worked security at

24:20

the church and who volunteered

24:23

to work security at

24:25

Mrs. funeral. Oh, that's

24:27

interesting. Bobby Wayne Henry, who

24:30

was a former police officer

24:32

who had been fired from

24:34

the police department. He had

24:37

once upon a time been

24:39

charged and indicted with

24:42

aggravated sexual assault.

24:44

He had been acquitted,

24:46

actually. And so I remember

24:48

speaking to, um, a source in

24:50

the Midlothian Police Department about

24:52

Bobby Wayne Henry and they

24:55

said, this guy's like Teflon,

24:57

nothing sticks to him. And he

24:59

had worked security at

25:01

Creekside Church, he had worked

25:04

security at Missy's funeral,

25:06

he had volunteered to be security

25:08

there, and images of him

25:11

and his unusual walk were

25:13

captured on video surveillance.

25:15

He had a very similar gate

25:17

to this person. And you might

25:19

even say a very similar

25:21

body build. So he was

25:23

kind of portly. He looked

25:26

like he very likely could

25:28

be the person in that video.

25:30

So just weeks after the

25:32

murder, police questioned Henry.

25:35

They even had their

25:37

forensic pediatrics review the

25:39

footage of the murderer

25:41

and of Henry. And the

25:43

doctor noted the similarities

25:46

in their gate. It was

25:48

something that caused the Methlothian Police

25:50

Department and the FBI to ask

25:53

for a search warrant on Henry's

25:55

property and it was granted. They

25:57

while they were there they seized

26:00

tactical gear that resembled the

26:02

kind that the killer wore, but

26:04

they were, yeah, yeah, but they

26:06

were unable to find any definitive

26:09

link between what was recovered

26:11

at Henry's house and Missy's

26:14

murder. So he remained a

26:16

person of interest in the

26:18

case for many years and

26:20

just recently here in September, Bobby

26:23

Wayne Henry passed away at the

26:25

age of 62. His own wife

26:27

was named Missy, odd. But you

26:29

know, he was never arrested or

26:31

charged in that case. He was

26:33

being held on the sexual assault

26:35

case and he was questioned while

26:37

he was in jail. But when

26:40

he was acquitted, are there

26:42

charges, the grand jury declined

26:44

to indict him on and he

26:46

was allowed to go free. And how

26:48

big is this person since we know

26:50

that's a very unique feature? So I

26:52

mean, he was 6-1 actually. So yeah,

26:54

some people say that rules him out

26:57

right there. And they never convened a

26:59

grand jury for this specific for

27:01

Missy Beaver's murder. Correct. They've never,

27:03

they've never gone through that step.

27:05

So yeah, we still don't have

27:07

answers in the case of Missy

27:10

Beaver's and people are, every year,

27:12

you know, in the anniversary in

27:14

April, people come together and

27:16

remember Missy and ask for justice.

27:18

They pray for justice in Missy's

27:20

case. This is another one of

27:22

those where Justice is definitely pending.

27:25

And you know we look forward

27:27

to the day where Missy's killer

27:29

will be revealed. Yeah, wow, what

27:31

a case. Justice Pending is
