The Unsolved Case of Elizabeth Barraza

Elizabeth Barraza lived with her husband Sergio in the Tomball, Texas. In 2019, Elizabeth was up early setting up a garage sale, as their 5 year anniversary was fast approaching. However, early that day someone approached Elizabeth. This was all caught on CCTV, however it remains and unsolved case to this day.

I know. I really like the fact that Mike has strayed away from covering unsolved cases for the most part, unlike in the early days. (Not that there is anything wrong with that and some people love unsolved. I will always support TC even if the videos were blank static for 20 minutes.) It's not my channel. I love his content, all of it. But it's disappointing to have little to no resolution, for me anyway. If I recall correctly, the only unsolved cases he's done for quite some time were very interesting and/or were only unsolved if you really squinted or in the sense that no arrests had been made or the person only escaped capture by being in a pine box. The exception is this case, although there isn't a whole lot to talk about or speculate on, I commend Mike and thoroughly enjoyed knowing the amount of additional eyes and attention this will bring to the case and given what a kind woman and trooper she is presented as being, I'm all for it. Good on ya Mike. Another grand video. I'm petitioning for all use of the word great to be replaced by "Grand" I would also love a compilation video covering any updates I'm also going to use this comment as my ongoing petition to get more Irish slang into the intro/outro or whole video if appropriate. Does Mike still/ever lived in Ireland and from what county is his accent from? As always, thanks for the content Mike.

She had enemies, even Sergio, her husband, admitted when he was initially questioned at the scene of the crime. So, WHY do Sergio and her parents LIE about it now? Why make her out to be someone who walked on water when she didn't? That's not going to help solve the mystery.

Yeah I believe him...I would think one of the only things that fit into everything would be a co-worker of hers?

[@forthexp8649]

To be honest, considering the incredibly small window of opportunity, to the point that it seems methodically planned, and my assumption that the police force would pursue this avenue first, apparently coming up with no evidence of premeditation, I'd say she was a target of opportunity. I mean obviously it *LOOKS* like a hit for some reason or another. Execution style, no robbery or forced entry, stayed off the cameras, and the murderer was gone as quick as they came. But i have a HUGE problem with the one fact that the police say the suspect returned and make the claim it was a hitman coming back to confirm. If this was a hit, that was a professional hitman (or the luckiest), and a professional hitman is NOT going to drive right by the crime scene in the same vehicle. HOWEVER, i think she was, unfortunately, simply a target of opportunity. Tomball is a quaint suburban town, low crime and more lax law enforcement than an urban center, factors a serial killer would account for a good location. This vehicle drove by before and after, likely looking for a target the first pass, finding poor Elizabeth in the wrong place and wrong time the second time, and returning the third time to extend the thrill. Its common knowledge among police that perpetrators often return to the scene, particularly when motivated by psychotic or sexual behaviors, because in their haste to escape they didn't really "experience" their crime. No hitman worth his salt is going back to the scene, and no hitman dumb enough to go back is evading capture this long. I'd agree someone with inside knowledge is the most obvious and likely culprit, but barring that the next most likely is this. The person who murdered her has probably done this before, and will again, in different vehicles and different states, with the same MO of targeting a quiet town and seeking a target of opportunity to murder.

[@forthexp8649]

I mean, look at the Golden State Killer (yes i know his name, his name can be forgotten), he began with the same style of modus operandi: quiet suburb, early morning after husbands left for work, targets of opportunity. GSK was at large for *decades*. The police even had DNA evidence, because at the time of his crimes DNA evidence didnt really exist for him to worry about, and it *still* was mere chance they caught him finally. Someone with the same mindset as GSK, in today's age of forensics, i see this murder as exactly what that breed of serial killer would do.

But the fact that this victim hadn't even hung her signs out yet makes me really REALLY positive that the suspect not only knew her, but knew she'd be where she was at the time. How else can that be? No gang initiations are going to take place in a quiet neighborhood where everyone is presumed to be sleeping. And even of it was an initiation, why drive the neighborhood the day before? They'd have no clue she'd be outside in her driveway that early. I just CAN'T believe that there's been no movement on this case in nearly 3 years! Frustrating.

There's more than one reason an innocent person is deliberately killed; either because somebody stands to benefit from killing them, or to send somebody else close to the victim a message.
