Your affiant is also trained and certified in the use of Cellebite/UFED electronic forensic data extractions, and affiant has had substantial experience in extracting electronicidigital data from various types, makes, and models of electronic/digital devices including cell phones, tablets, and GPS devices.

In addition, Your Affiant has experience in the execution of financial search warrants, narcotics search warrants, debriefing defendants, informants, and other witnesses/individuals who have personal knowledge of the amassing, spending, converting, transporting, distributing, laundering, and concealing of proceeds derived from the distribution of illegal drugs. Your Affiant has used a variety of investigative techniques during his investigations including, but not limited to, electronic surveillance, visual surveillance, the use of confidential sources and the use of undercover agents. Information contained in this Affidavit is derived from Your Affiant's knowledge of, and prior experiences in financial and narcotics investigations; information obtained during interviews with drug traffickers familiar with this drug trafficking organization, and review of reports prepared by special agents with DEA as well as other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, As a result of Your Affiant’s participation in this investigation, my conversations with, and review of reports prepared by HIDTA Task Force Officers as well as other federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, | am familiar with all aspects of this investigation as articulated in this Affidavit.

YOUR AFFIANT’S PROBABLE CAUSE The recitation of facts contained in this Affidavit is not meant to be a complete narrative of all information that is known to Your Affiant, but only a summary of facts, to necessitate the establishment of sufficient probable cause, in support of this affidavit, for the issuance of this Evidentiary Search Warrant, Terri “Missy” LeAnn Bevers was murdered by an unknown suspects), currently at large, as she arrived to prepare for a physical fitness class she was to teach on the morning of April 18, 2016 at the Creekside Church, located at 5401 East U.S Highway 287, Midlothian, Ellis County, Texas 76085. The unknown suspect dressed in police tactical/riot gear, obtained forcible entry to the location of the murder, to-wit, the Creekside Church, and appears on the Creekside Church surveillance videos. The unknown suspect is the only person detected within the building during a period of approximately thirty (30) minutes when the victim and decedent, Terri “Missy” Leann Bevers, was murdered, and it is reasonably believed that the said unknown suspect is responsible in part or in full for murdering Ms. Bevers. It has not been determined that the suspect in this MURDER is if fact a male in the police tactical/rt gear. In certain portions of the footage the suspect appears to have what has been described as a feminine sway or walk. The footage also indicates that the suspect has a distinct walk that is indicative of some type injury which effects the right leg/foot. Throughout the course of this MURDER investigation, evidence has been recovered from electronic data extractions performed on Brandon Bevers (husband) and Ms. Bevers personal electronic devices (Iphones and an Ipad). This extracted information has provided officers with potential persons of interest “Target Numbers” based on the nature of the communications (text, messages, and recovered deleted messages) between Ms. Bevers and the above “Target Numbers”. A portion of these messages (as well as deleted messages) recovered indicate and confirm statement and tips provided to officers of an ongoing financial and marital struggle as well as intimate/personal relationship(s) external to the marriage with identified “Target Numbers”. Officers have also received several tips from citizens with possible suspect leads due to the surveillance footage being released to the general public. Some of these leads have been very specific PAGE 20F 3 CONTINUATION OF AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF EVIDENTIARY SEARCH WARRANT 1150 N. US Highway 67, Suite 300, Midlothian, Ellis County, Texas 76065 Midlothian Police Department as to the approximate weight, height, build, distinct walk and or feminine sway of the suspect. These tips have been followed up and are identified as “Target Numbers” identified above. Based upon the facts and circumstances surrounding this crime of murder as presently known by the Affiant, and in conjunction with the Affiants training and experiences in law enforcement, crimes against persons, and criminal activity, Affiant believes and charges that at the time of the commission of the offense of murder that the unknown suspect was in possession of a cell phone and had been in contact in some manner with “Target Numbers” identified above for the following purposes, without limitation: (i) confirming through public social media sites and/or applications the updated workout times and locations as posted by Ms. Bevers; (ii) communicating in the nature of calls, messages, texting, emails, data, push-to-talk, and walky-talky; (il) using smart phone capabilities to photograph, record, and/or video the victim and the murderous act; and (iv) using functional applications and tools such as map locator applications, clock or timing capabilities, GPS locating applications, and flashlight. Additionally, your Affiant has relied upon his common experience, as well as informational research obtained (demonstrating that over ninety percent of American adults own a cell phone and a substantial percentage of such cell phones possess smart phone capabilities) in establishing that the vast majority of the populous own, possess, utilize, and carry on or about their person (or within their vehicle) a cell phone on a regular and constant basis, and consequently, Affiant has further probable cause to believe that at during the specified date range the “Target Numbers” did in fact have contact with Ms. Bevers Your Affiant seeks to obtain historical records maintained by AT&T in the ordinary course of business which document all such electronicidigital signals tofrom the “Target Numbers” (for a specified date range), which can be analyzed and utilized to identify specific cell phone devices, GPS locations and cell phone subscriber information, which in tum can lead to the identity of the unknown suspect(s) responsible for the murder of Ms, Bevers as described above.
