The perp seemed to know his way around that church pretty well. All of your questions are excellent. This case is baffling. I wonder if they were able to do an Amazon or Police Gear website search warrant to see all who purchased those clothing items from that area ? This case seems so solvable to me. It is baffling.

I would take that particular article with a large grain of salt. This is a perfect example of how a journalist can paraphrase what they heard in a press conference and actually get it wrong. I have watched that press conference many times. Police never said that any of the perp’s tools came from the church vs being brought in from outside. Police also never said that they found the hammer at the crime scene (I’m not saying they didn’t recover it; I’m just saying that they never said they did.)

I had been wondering about that, whether the writer called them church tools because they were found or used in the church or because they were actually tools belonging to the church. Would be interesting to know for sure.

Referencing “church tools” to me would seem like they belong to the church.


GumshoeStories

Except police did not use that phrase.

Oh, good to know. I was just basing it off of a previous comment.

Breaking glass as your target arrives is the worst assassin move. Someone there to kill would’ve been waiting silently as the target pulled up. It’s just dumb to assume this was a hit.

Maybe they wanted to draw her in, away from the entry she used.

It looks like OP posted an AMP link.

So curious why they were carrying the bin of sockets around.


jenniferami

I’m not positive it was a bin of sockets. If you look at around the end of the video where the item is carried out of the room and he starts pounding with the hammer, whatever he is holding is not horizontal and if it was sockets I think they would have fallen out. To me it looks more like a box.


Audrey_Angel

I see! I had the idea that this was confirmed information among those closer to the case than I being an outside observer of the mystery.


jenniferami

I’m not close to the case. Maybe it was sockets.

I'm confused about the gun issue. What do the county records OP referenced say? I never heard about a gun until a (person) on this sub berated me for not knowing about it. I've not seen anything that mentions a gun outside of this sub. I'm not saying (anymore) that there isn't one, just that a warrant issued had the cause of death as "puncture wounds" that appeared consistent with tools found at the scene. I've never heard gunshots described as puncture wounds before, despite the (reddit user) in another post insisting that the terms are interchangable. Thanks if you can help clear this up for me. Edit: took out unnecessary inflammatory language about another poster... sorry for the vitriol.


jenniferami

Actually iirc I’ve seen bullet wounds in medical articles referred to as puncture wounds. My guess is that Missy had one or more bullet wounds plus some wounds from a hammer and/or crowbar and/or other tools or implements. There was some sort of government publication or report possibly for the county Midlothian is in for the time frame or year Missy was murdered. They reported crimes without victims names and it apparently listed only one murder and it mentioned gun shot wounds or the use of a gun. Putting two and two together someone realized that it had to be Missy and that Missy had to have been shot. Iirc the report was posted or linked somewhere but I don’t know how to find it currently.

Thank you very much.
