Five weeks after fitness instructor Terri ?Missy? Bevers was found dead in a Midlothian Church the case is still fresh in everyone?s mind.
Brandon Bevers has said he will forgive his wife?s killer as long as he or she comes forward, he told People and KDFW-TV (Channel 4).
?Turn yourself in. Do what?s right. Don?t live the rest of your life with this in your heart because it will eat you like cancer,? he said, addressing the killer in an interview with KDFW. ?The same applies with my family. We need closure. This is going to eat us alive for many years to come.?
In the week after the mother of three was killed, her husband told KXAS-TV (NBC5) that he did not believe his wife was targeted. But in the interview with People this week, Bevers said he believes the killer is a woman, and that she knew his wife and had a motive.
?I don?t know if it?s business related or some kind of jealousy,? Bevers told KDFW. ?I?ve pretty much exhausted every scenario and every avenue that I can think of, of who could have done this.?
But robbery doesn?t seem to be a likely motive.
?There?s no reason why an individual would break into a church, dressed in that type of clothing and stage a robbery, or what would appear to be a robbery ? going through the building, breaking glass and opening doors,? he told People. ?If that person was really there to commit a robbery, why did they kill my wife and leave her wedding ring on her finger??
At a news conference last week, police said no family, friends or coworkers of Missy Bevers are suspects. Her husband, who meets weekly with investigators, said the door has to remain open.
?It?s just like the officer said today when I met with them; myself and everybody else in this investigation, despite the fact that they?ve come out and said they?re no longer suspects doesn?t mean they?ve been eradicated from the investigation because the door has to remain open,? Brandon told KDFW. ?Once they?ve scoured the field they should never close the door, you know.?
