As we approach 10 years since the murder of Missy Bevers<\/a>, her case remains unsolved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police say the investigation is active<\/a>, and there’s a push to keep her name in the public eye.<\/p>\n

“Our goal is to just keep her case alive,” Renae Rodden said.<\/p>\n

Rodden first met Bevers in 2013. They were coworkers at a denim company and quickly became close.<\/p>\n

“Missy was very kind, loving, you could tell she really cared,” she said.<\/p>\n

She was a wife and mother of three who had a passion for fitness.<\/p>\n

Podcast hosts revisit the case<\/p>\n

As the 10\u2011year date since her murder approaches, Rodden and Crystal Lawson are hosting a special episode of their podcast, True Crime Broads, to go over the case.<\/p>\n

“We just really wanted to let people get to know her,” Lawson said. “She was not just a statistic.”<\/p>\n

Missy’s case is one many North Texans still remember.<\/p>\n

Surveillance video still haunts investigators<\/p>\n

April 18, 2016, surveillance video shows a person in tactical gear walking through Creekside Church in Midlothian.<\/p>\n

Missy was there preparing to lead an early morning workout when she was murdered.<\/p>\n

“The person is walking around in the church, and it is very creepy,” Rodden said. “You can’t tell if it’s a man or a woman, so people are very interested in trying to figure out who it is.”<\/p>\n

Police say case remains active<\/p>\n

Police say this is still an active case<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the last year, they’ve received more than 100 leads from all over the world. They’re using new forensic technology to investigate and say no one has been ruled out as a suspect.<\/p>\n

“That’s good news because most things after this many years would be ice cold,” Lawson said.<\/p>\n

Loved ones hope someone speaks up<\/p>\n

“Somebody out there knows something,” Rodden said.<\/p>\n

“I’m hoping that since it’s been 10 years, there are relationships that may have changed,” Susan McConnell said. “Situations have changed, and people will be encouraged to come forward.”<\/p>\n

“We need justice for her; not only does the family need it, the community needs it,” Rodden said.<\/p>\n
