A widower and a group of podcasters haven't stopped searching for answers into a perplexing crime, although they' don't share the same approach.

Attendees bowed their heads in prayer during opening remarks. Then, dressed in one of the custom shirts, True Crime Broads’ Renae Rodden thanked the modest crowd for showing up and lending support. But many in Midlothian are vexed by what they view as a relative lack of momentum in solving a murder that, for a time, was heavily featured by the national and international news media, including by true crime titans like Nancy Grace. Stories about the case have since largely dwindled to local news briefs on anniversaries of Bevers’ killing.
On April 18 seven years earlier, Bevers entered the church at around 4:20 a.m., according to police. She was there to teach a class for Camp Gladiator, an outdoor fitness program. She posted on Facebook the night before that they would still be training, despite an April shower that forced the session indoors.
The church’s outdoor surveillance cameras weren’t in working order at the time of Bevers’ murder. Law enforcement officials sent out notice that they wanted to talk with the driver of what appeared to be a 2010 to 2012 Nissan Altima, or a 2010 to 2012 Infiniti G37. Earlier that morning, the car had slowly snaked around the parking lot of a nearby business, its headlights turning off and on.
“I've always walked a fairly straight line in my whole life. You know, I was a Boy Scout,” Brandon said. “I've never really strayed outside of what was expected of me socially — or as a son, or as a father or husband — so, to be considered a suspect in your wife's murder, through the interrogation and questioning process, it really, really put me in a dark place.”
That question got them talking excitedly, sometimes all at once. Pepper inquired: How did the missing man’s wife get a death certificate so fast with no body? Dianna asked: If your spouse went missing, would you have their cellphone turned off immediately after? Some women won’t take out their trash cans alone at night. Rodden bought a gun and carries it wherever she goes.
For the eight hours it took to get back home, Brandon was stuck in a car, virtually alone with his thoughts, he said in an interview with NBC-DFW two years after Missy’s death. “In the days following this thing, you're sitting at home, you're watching news reports of this whole thing from all over the United States and you know, CNN will air a segment on it, and they'll have a banner running across the screen that says ‘Sex, Lies and Murder’ or something,” he said. “And you're just sitting there going, ‘What?’”
“It just pissed me off to no end. It upset the girls, and [Rodden and Lawson] don't even understand why I'm so mad,” Brandon said. “And the fact that they don't understand tells me that their ego is greater than their judgment ability.”in late March they thought he’d gotten over his anger. Lawson pointed out that they aired a disclaimer ahead of the episode in question and said his girls have likely heard worse in the media.
She and Rodden estimate that they’ve covered Missy’s killing in at least 100 episodes. They're constantly mining for new angles, something that’s getting increasingly difficult. They’ll reiterate the same facts and dispel the same myths for the benefit of new listeners. It hasn’t appeared to wear on their dedication to the case one bit.
