The thought that this individual is somewhere out there living their life, and is someone’s neighbor or even coworker is very scary. What a senseless killing. RIP Liz

[@GetSicRiCH]

That someone could _just do it_ → jUSt kill to kill, a beautiful, loving, talented soul. Liz was an angel. Now, she is a divine angel. And she _needs_ *justice* !!!

[@juliajane9290]

It sounds like they were dressed in costume. Maybe Princess Leia? I wouldn’t be surprised if they were even at that memorial… Edited to say I typed this before the sound bit and Kendall saying the exact same thing 😆

[@jamiejamison5357]

This is what I hear. At 21:14, Liz says “Christian, is that you?”. At 21:20, the other person who sounds male says “..December..”. At 21:30, Liz says something like “…in your show…in your journey”. I don’t know if what I hear is right but it sounds to me that she says the name Christian or a name very close to that.

[@OfficialUknow]

They will prob kill again but get caught this time

[@hypnhoeslowbro2254]

12:59 plot twist this old lady is really the killer in a mask o.0 I scared myselflol

[@nekomance]

As a cosplayer myself, I wanna say that this community can attract some people with a tendency to get obsessed with others involved, whether that be jealousy or a romantic/sexual type of obsession that could both lead to stalking. The fact that the killer seemed to be in cosplay makes me think it was someone who fixated on Liz and had a one sided obsession with her and wanted her dead.

[@ellie.janelle]

This is the first comment I've read that is most similar to my thoughts/intuition as well

[@liyre4189]

Oh yeah, I was super into fandoms when I was a teenager. There are some people who make it their entire lives, with no other interests, hobbies, friends, anything outside of their chosen fandom and the obsessiveness can be truly terrifying. There's a YA novel that I quite like which explores this, called I was born for this by Alice Oseman, the same person who wrote Heartstopper (that new Netflix show)

[@JoanneOz]

I thought the same thing. It sounds like an obsessed stalker to me.

[@duchessofhazjack4878]

My theory too. I think it was jealousy. She had a lot going for her. Not saying she didn't earn it all, but that just makes her all the more respected and impressive, and she seemed very modest. Very easy to hate someone like that when your life is going down the pan! jealousy is extremely powerful.

[@aly38]

made me wonder if its someone maybe Sergio possibly knew? Like maybe knew bc of cosplay but was an acquaintance. Like she liked him but he she was never on his radar type thing. I rly feel like it’s a female that killed her otherwise I’d think a man that was obsessed with Liz had killed her.

[@sharayslaughter]

It reminds me of the Missy Beavers case

[@storiesinthedust]

What really breaks my heart is that the shooter shoots her 3 times and then stands over her and shoots her again while she’s down. That is 10000000% a personal murder. Whether or not Liz knew her attacker, I have a feeling they knew her. Professional hits don’t need 4 shots. It could be someone who wasn’t a professional but still hired to do it - but it’s way too sloppy to be a professional hit. They need FBI profilers on this one. I have a feeling studying her community would bring out the culprit real fast.

[@soyyo143]

agree!

[@jocelynsmyth6604]

I found this case really hard to hear. Not that I have any experience with anything, but it could have been a woman who was incredibly jealous - I agree with you, Liz might not have known the attacker, but it really seems like they knew her.

This could have been tied to an affair that didn't exists. There are crazy jealous people out there that would do things like this on a suspicion. I don't doubt that their marriage was fine. This story scares the heck out of me, it's like no one is safe, ever.

[@asemi4]

That's what I thought too when I first heard of this case. Maybe there was no actual affair but a coworker of hers got obsessed with her and their jealous spouse decided to take their revenge, or a maybe Sergio had a jealous ex who was mad he chose Liz over her, or Liz rejected someone and they got upset in an "if I can't have you" sort of way. There are scenarios where an actual affair wasn't occurring but others may still have been upset.

[@hsmorg3640]

[@CL-we8tn]

@@Kdkdleeme that effectively takes out all the people she advertised to the following night. For a planned, deliberate murder it reduces the suspect pool to people she knew well enough that they knew where she lived. I have no idea about the cosplay world but I'm betting like every other activity out there that if you meet a thousand people, you'll still only become close friends with a handful. This eliminates half her church members as well, again one develops close friendships with only a few. That leaves coworkers, close friends, family and spouse. In that barrel we can kick the coworkers because if they hired a hit man, the hit man would expect her to go to work Friday morning. I dont see a hit an casing a house twice if he knew her schedule. Friends, family spouse knew she would not work on the Friday. So who is a friend, who is in her church and does cosplay and was online Thursday night to give the hit man a heads up? Sorry, this is my opinion only and I have nothing to substantiate this theory except that to sieve your suspect pool, you look at possibilities and work them down to probabilities. Sorry about putting it here, I know you were replying to the other reply.

[@strangetimez]

Simple..they either don't think and just act impulsively cause they've been hurt or they feel privileged enough to make their own so called justice. I mean ofcourse it's not all black and white but usually it's quite common when it comes to reasons why..money,love,jealousy seem to be always the root cause or at least top three.

[@rachana1048]

and everyone using a stalker theory, there's a FLAW. Stalkers will usually approach their victim to FIRST get them BEFORE they attack or kill. Because they want to be with them and have them. So someone would have known if some guy was obsessed with her. Most likely her best friend, her husband. So why isn't ANYONE suspected? I find that hard to believe. If she had a stalker, he most likely already showed signs or approached her. No way someone would stay hidden in the shadow to just kill her and take her out unless they are a trained serial killer. Even STALKERS have an obsession with their victim and would prefer to first try to be with them before taking them out and risking prison time.

Maybe the husband had a stalker, someone within their star wars community that they didn’t necessarily know first hand but fixated on him and their relationship. It seems that some stalkers can actually delude themselves into thinking a relationship exists. So if this person approached Liz and said something like “we are in love” or “he wants to be with me” or any other lines people in that situation would use, that would account for her “it’s not true” statement? It would also explain why a woman in costume would be the shooter. I know they said Sergio didn’t meet his wife until 2021, but maybe she knew who he was already? Is there a way to go back and see who was viewing his social media pages on a regular basis? May be wayyyy off but it’s a thought

[@madcowgirl0131]

[@miraking3661]

I got the same vibe! Given how much everyone loved Liz, the killer wouldn't have wanted to speak their hatred out loud. Probably someone in her community that was jealous of her for one reason or another.

[@Naty129]

My thoughts exactly. There's a lot of unstable people out there. And these unstable people become obsessed with someone. Sergio and Liz probably didn't even know this person existed. But like you said, unstable people delude themselves into thinking a relationship is going on. That was my best guess too.

[@ianmendham6671]

Interesting theory but would an obsessive stalker carry out a hit like that?

[@jamiejamison5357]

This is what I hear. At 21:14, Liz says “Christian, is that you?”. At 21:20, the other person who sounds male says “..December..”. At 21:30, Liz says something like “…in your show…in your journey”. I don’t know if what I hear is right but it sounds to me that she says the name Christian or a name very close to that.

[@nunyabidness6045]

I'm with the Dad. This was planned, she was targeted and the intention was to kill. The final shot, standing over her and it's location, tells you that. Maybe it was someone in the cosplay community that was obsessed with Sergio or maybe there was some sort of jealousy, or perceived "affair" or something. You'd be surprised what people will do just on a suspicion of their SO cheating, or even just giving someone "extra" attention (in their mind). The "good morning" doesn't suggest to me that she didn't know them... if it was someone she knew from the cosplay community, but didn't necessarily speak to a lot, or didn't know personally, she could've greeted them with the same phrase. Like it does sound like something you'd say to a potential yard sale customer, but I wouldn't let that one phrase rule out people she knew. This case is heartbreaking and baffling. And just because a marriage seems good, doesn't mean it is... who's to say one of them didn't have a burner phone from straight talk or something that they used to only communicate with their "fling" that nobody knew about? Like in a case like this, where there's seemingly no motive, NOTHING can be ruled out as a possibility, because there IS a reason, trust me. You don't just walk up to someone and kill them for no reason. There's SOMETHING, some little tiny detail that they're missing, I'm telling you. God, I pray that you shine your light onto the evil person hiding in the dark, that took poor Liz's life, so they can be arrested and brought to justice. I pray this in Jesus' name, so it is. Amen.

It was someone welllllll welll well within her small group of people. Good police work could figure this out. I'm from sherman. Driving distance from Tomball.

[@peytonhoey6661]

I can definitely see this as a possibility. Saying good morning to someone visibly in a costume makes me also think… If it was a stranger I can imagine she would mention that in the initial greeting or shortly after. Maybe by saying something like “wow! nice costume.” However if it was someone she knew who cosplayed and expected them to dress as such I can imagine she wouldn’t be as surprised.

I've worked with the 501 Legion and would like to leave a quote from a member that I think would tell you just how kind Liz probably was; "The mask helps hide your tears when you hug a sick child and you KNOW you've made their day." I hope Liz and her family find peace and justice.

The tone of Liz’s “good morning” PAIRED with her step back is a little concerning. I wonder if that wasn’t an uneasy greeting to a stranger who had run up on her but rather contemptuous greeting to someone she had crossed paths with prior. I think it may also be important to understand that the Star Wars community is primarily people who are involved in the IT world. It would not be hard for a bad person to be able to find out where Liz lived and her schedule based off what she posts online, as well are her internet history.

Being that this person was wearing a costume/ disguise, she may have said "Good morning," thinking they were a stranger, not having realized at the moment it was actually someone she knew.

After all these years, Joey still has not been found and her family is still searching for answers. I am a neighbor from the town and live on the same street where the house fire happened. Her two daughters had to grow up without their mother and are still searching for the truth.

[@missawsomechick]

This was not the work of a professional. No silencer, 4 shots, intentionally striking fear into her before. Besides knowing exactly where the neighborhood cameras were, it was messy. Hearing the audio my first thought was that a man absolutely killed her, but then I realized that if they ran in cosplay circles, it’s very common for them to use voice modulators (for darth Vader for example). I think it was a woman with a voice modulator of some sort, definitely a crime of passion. She was either a stalker who was envious of her position in the organizations they shared, or she was sleeping with her husband. The timing of the murder and the rate at which he remarried is concerning to me. Statistically, the murder of most women is at the hands of their significant other. The timing of the murder, 5 minutes after he left for work with his poor wife setting up outside all alone in the dark just doesn’t feel right to me. Burner phones exist, and they’re very easy to obtain tracelessly and get rid of. My heart breaks for Liz, she deserved so much better.

i feel like it was jealousy, the cosplay/fan community can be extremely toxic and I mean crazy if you really look into it. Not trying to demonize but being someone a part of it and knowing how mean and clique it can be, It wouldn't be crazy to believe that she was targeted for just being the good person she is. If they never met her it could be someone that has seen her. I feel the person it could be could be tied to the fan community because of her heavy involvement. The way they smoothly walked up is indication they knew her and whos house they were walking up to and they came as soon as Sergio left so they watched them for a while to know the schedule. Idk if the cameras have any previous footage before hand but I would check to see for constants in the tapes. See if there is anyone or anything that keeps appearing. Even online, its alot of work but she was targeted.

[@test-kf2zv]

Yeah, not sure why this wasn't looked into, unless they're just not releasing that info? The assailant was wearing a costume. Seems to me there could very well be a connection.

So I took the audio from the surveillance camera and tried to reduce the noise as best as I could. I am no professional by all means, but I could hear the following things. The world "kill" is used several times by the attcker during thw whole conersation. Which I found so odd, at how often they used it. Liz is saying "It's two before seven" or "It's ten before seven." I assume the attacker asked what time it is. Seems like a really odd move to me, but maybe the murderer tried to get closer to her by that. They could be saying either: "I am going to kill you.", "I am here to kill you." or "I am hired to kill you." After that you can hear Liz say "Please don't it's not" and it is interrupted by the wind. I believe she says "It's not worth it." Then the attackers delivery of words get kind of strange. I can't really decipher what they are actually saying. But they get louder and their voice sounds almost dramtic, as if they were in some kind of actor. The murderer could be saying "Sir" or "Sure" and then I deciphered a "You're an" and it get's interrupted again. The last word could maybe be "airtroop" or something. After that I strongly believe the attacker said "I hate you." And then the murderer get's again this weird type of delivery lines. But because it is so windy, you can't make out what they are actually saying. It almost sounds like they are following orders or mimicking a robot of some sorts. I think they are saying one word at a time. Before the shots go off the murderer says "I'll kill you." again. What I find especially interesting, is the fact that Liz voice sounds very faint and "normal" even when it is slightly distorted by the other sounds while the voice of the murderer is very "loud" or let's say dominant. It also sounds extremly distorted, like not human at all. It sounds like they were using a voice changer, almost like Darh Vaders voice. I am also confused that there seems to be no information out there at how Liz described the attacker. I am guessing she was so badly injured that she couldn't speak anymore, but if she wasn't she might have been able to give some clues maybe.

My thought is that it is someone who knows Elizabeth is very connected with Cosplay and dressed up as one of them to keep their identity even further away from who they really are.

[@lovelyytim]

Good point

[@crwhite09]

I think the same thing! It’s even possible they wanted to dress up to frame the husband. Since they know he would have access to something his wife possibly would wear at a convention. Definitely not a coincidence that they dressed in cosplay so it has to be someone that knew her.

[@lizzieboyd7034]

I was thinking the same thing! If a neighbor saw someone walking around at 7am in a princess leia costume, that would definitely stand out in their mind. I think the killer maybe did it as a red herring to distract the police in case someone did see them

What’s interesting is how early in the morning the murder was committed, how did the perpetrator know she would be out and about then?

[@KitKat_Edwards]

That's exactly what I'm thinking. I'm sure her husband was the only one that knew she would be out there that early, especially since this time around it was spur of the moment and she didn't even tell anyone about it. How did this person know her husband would be at work? The lack of information is so frustrating! I feel so bad for her and her family ☹️

[@ashleygray4034]

Kendall did mention that the murder occurred right around the time that she would have been walking out of the house for work.. So its possible the killer didn't know about the yard sale, but knew her well enough to know she may be outside to leave for the day around that time..

[@CrustyUgg]

If you watch the episode Kendall mentions the theories. She left for work about that time daily so she would have been out there going to work but instead was out there for the tag sale instead

[@penguinabroad]

Kendall did also say that she didn't have work that day...also that she may have called in sick, but if she was off and someone knew her schedule and her husband then they might have thought she would be home alone and they were planning to break in the house or just knock on the door but she happened to be having a yard sale so...

[@sharonm.t.2492]

Although I do think the person heard about the yard sale, they also may have been waiting for her to go outside to leave for work. This was around the same time she left for work. The costume makes me think she had posted something online (on a Fandom site/forum/page?) about the yard sale.

The footage of the scene was so incredibly ominous, I almost clicked out the of the video. My gut tells me the husband AND the woman he married need to be investigated further. Maybe the woman was stalking him or obsessed with him and she felt like she had to “get rid of Liz” to be with him. Or, maybe they were already flirting or having an affair while Liz was still alive. The video footage is so creepy, the way the person walks, the outfit, the hair… everything. So scary.

[@sleepysiren9883]

I find it interesting that there is literally no evidence that she had beef with anyone. As someone who used to be active in the star wars online community, people would always get into nasty fights on twitter and it could lead to them getting doxxed. I feel like it would make sense if it was someone she had encountered online, because she didn't recognize that person and they looked like they were cosplaying as Leia. I'm baffled as to how that person knew she would be alone if she never publicly advertised her yard sale online...

[@majicchoneyy]

yess and she probably doxxed herself by accident when posting the ad for the garage sale; not knowing she had haters/killers watching her. seems like they scoped out the house the night before when she posted it to make sure it was her home and to assure the plan carried out quickly.
