The Ellis Talker Show is a podcast hosted by DV Lebron. Lebron had the privilege of sitting down with Midlothian Police Chief, Carl Smith.

While Chief Smith was providing local updates, the subject of the Missy Bevers case came up. We will drop the link to that episode below:

On this episode of TCB, Renae and Crystal discuss things that might be able to be gleaned from their conversation.

On the early morning of Friday, January 25, 2019, 29-year-old Liz Barraza was gunned down in her own driveway. She was simply setting up for a garage sale, and looking forward to a fun 5th wedding anniversary trip with her husband, that was just days away.

Liz Barraza's unsolved case means a lot to use here at True Crime Broads. We have covered her case on several episodes, and had the privilege of having Liz's parents and Andy Kahn from Crime Stoppers as special guests on TCB.

Today we are thrilled to bring you Sgt. Michael Ritchie of Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Ritchie is the lead investigator and has worked tirelessly on Liz's case. With his high clearance rate and refusal to slow down, we know he will solve it - it's just a matter of time.

You won't want to miss this episode, as Sgt. Michael Ritchie speaks candidly with us regarding the investigation of Liz's mysterious murder.

It unintentionally turned into sort of a rant episode.

Sorry about that, y'all.

How can a vibrant, successful doctor not know evil was lurking in her own home?

A sinister plan, that's how.

When Missy arrived to work on Monday, April 18, 2016, she was brave. She heard something and kept going.

We know the killer was a coward, dressed up like that and sneaking around to scare Missy.

Stay tuned for a discussion of how things likely happened that horrifying morning at Creekside Church in Midlothian, Texas.
