same with missy beevers, so mysterious.

You sound like me, except I do that for the Missy Bevers case in Texas. Incidentally, my gut instinct feels like it was a woman who committed the murder in each of these cases.

@@lisabelle7553 Do you think it could be the same woman? ( I don't know if this could even be considered a possibility )

Many cases don’t see justice even in these days of 🧬 and 🎥 🎞📹🤳📸

@@anonymousstrangeness7348 I don't think so because they had very different lifestyles and also they're very far apart because Missy's murder was close to Dallas and this was close to Houston. That would be a crazy twist though, wouldn't it?

who, Jabba the Hutt?

I think that was the working theory of the investigation, and it sounds like the most credible possibility and motive. Most cosplay people are healthy, normal, creative adults who engage in it for fun. Those groups are unfortunately also attractive to individuals who have mental health issues of the kind that makes their perception of reality distorted. It's not just celebrities who are targeted by people they believe that they have a close/romantic relationship with, so the husband doesn't even have to factor in in this case. The obsession may have been centered around Liz herself. I had a "benign" stalker for years, so those killers are the scariest of all to me... 😱

This is the theory that I immediately thought of as well. I thought someone must be jealous of her life and / or was in love with the husband? I definitely think the killer was part of the cosplay community and knew Liz. I hope they can find the killer soon 🙏🏼 ❤️

But what about Gheghis Khan?

@@JerdMcLean he's dead, bro.

My thoughts, too.

yep this. she didn’t have kids and knew her man would be gone so this makes sense

There is a chance she thought of both of these reasons to set the alarm.

It baffles me how she had robberys happen around her and her husband don't purchase a firearm to protect themselves and anyone else they love and care about and how they saw the truck doing red flags the whole time and he or she slowly walks up while shes completely oblivious to whats happening, but tbh I feel like most cosplay people aren't the type to join the military lol

​@@desertgrowndank7256 When some rando intent on killing you shows up, has a conversation for a few seconds, then pulls a gun out, it wouldn't matter how many guns they owned, because she was alone. It would be impractical to have a gun drawn and ready while setting up for a garage sale. She would have been on the ground before she knew what was happening, so even if she had it on her hip, it's very unlikely she could have successfully drawn, aimed and fired between falling over and being shot in the head.

So sorry to hear this

Is the piece of shit still in prison?

@@DannyBoy777777 He served eight years in prison and a restraining order was put against him. After that he was free. Many years later apparently he made some confession there was planning on killing three young women. He is now serving a life sentence somewhere in Northern California I think. Before trying to kill my sister she had stabbed his girlfriend’s mother in the back 13 times. She actually lived. Violent people do not belong in the free world.

So Sorry for your family to have to experience such random evil ~

@@gigi9301 That was when I learned that bad things can happen to us and not just other people we read about in the newspapers. Thank you for your kindness.

Too many coincidences. Last minute garage sale. Stalked the night before to get the layout of the land. Knew the husband wouldn’t take the day off to help with the garage sale. Elizabeth left to go to Starbucks and the killer patiently waited for her to come back alone because they knew she would. Husband leaves and a few minutes later she is killed. Again, how does the killer know/predict their schedules? Not to mention he is the beneficiary of the $500,000 life insurance policy. The parents are the ones raising the reward money and he pledges nothing? Even if the money hasn’t been released to him, he could still pledge a portion of it, but he won’t.

@@Chris-tg3qy and the other issue I have with him is he was alerted about the home alarm but didn't call her to see what was happening? Instead he just rushes home. Her parents called before heading to her house. It's common sense.

@@x2z964 good point

​@@Chris-tg3qy none of their actions indicate that they knew what would happen or her schedule, rather that they were watching and waiting for an opportunity. They had been there for quite a while if that opening hadn't happened they might have sat there even longer waiting. Knowing somebody's schedule speaks more to arriving right after the husband left and shooting her and going. It could still have been a murder for hire, that would explain why the person spoke to her, possibly making sure they had the right target. It could have also been some other person that wanted her out of the picture, like was mentioned a romantic rival.

@@jessicaolson490 I beg to differ. The killers definitely knew she would be outside and working the garage sale by herself. Sergio helped with some of the heavier objects and there was no reason to believe he wouldn’t stick around and help with the garage sale unless someone knew his schedule. They knew he wasn’t sticking around. It looks like they had a pretty good idea she would be coming back from Starbucks and that she would be alone. They also didn’t count on their actions being recorded the night before and that morning. Had their actions not been recorded, then we wouldn’t know this was a hit. That would be one possibility, but another possibility would be that this was just a random shooting, but the recordings tell us this was definitely a targeted hit and not random. I do think they knew she would be outside working a garage sale that morning and they knew approximately what time she would start doing that and that she would be alone. Even though her husband lives in the home with her, they had a pretty good idea he would leave early and before any garage sale traffic started to show up. They knew they had a small window of time to do it. For whatever reason they wanted Sergio gone, but they also needed it done before garage sale shoppers started to show up to avoid witnesses. As far as what they said to her, it’s my understanding it was a derogatory comment. I believe the police are able to make out some of it and it doesn’t sound like they were confirming her name. The note was odd, but could have been meant to throw off the investigation by appearing to be something it wasn’t. It could have been left there to make the police think it was a random garage sale shopper or that it would point to someone else intentionally to take the eyes off of the real motive. Since the entire shooting is on camera the note may not make a lot of sense. The note could be a red herring. Notes and messages left at a murder scene oftentimes are meant to throw off the investigation.

Exactly. How did no camera capture the license plate?

i think it was a rental truck or something

If i were the cops i would look for any video taken on all approaches towards the house. Must have passed 100s of cctv, too, and from. Shame they got away with this. Todays drone technology makes it so that you could have a camera platform high up recording 24 hours a day. Wide angle Lenz for max coverage. I believe a gang of murders of a woman police officer were caught with this tech. People would complain about privacy, but it's not a valid argument.

Yeah this person got away with murder at least for now

​@annanicole5494 if it was it's the name of the person who rented it would've been apparent

Occam's razor points to this being the most likely reason. Rad rage is more believable to me than unstable cosplayer (There is plenty of them though, as a geek, the community is filled with mental issues) or hit. There is evidence for both the latter interms of not a robbery, etc, but I think the road rage things makes sense.

@@Okuri_Inu_Comic as a geek? Meaning you?

That certainly is within the realm of possibilities. I mean, stranger more far-fetched plans are hatched & executed.

That is an interesting theory. One of the best that I have heard.

Very possible. I went on his Facebook soon after (yes snooping) he was at the gym all happy go lucky laughing emojis, someone called him out and he took his Facebook down. He wasn't acting like a distraught husband. Two things happened either what you said or he had that crap planned. I bet the later.

Also someone mentioned that they were having financial issues and she wanted a baby, but he didn't. He also got 500k in life insurance

@@8luvbug Yes I wondered about the insurance after I posted because it is another common motive not mentioned here - 500k solves a lot of financial issues. Heartless bastard had her murdered in cold blood.

I agree

Someone was cooking the books at the company she worked for ? How about that foundation ? How about those organizations she volunteered for ? The women who knew too much ? Saw something she shouldn’t have ? What if a neighbor rented that truck from Florida ? Someone wanted her dead that for sure . I just watched the husband in an hour interview. Rarely do the guilty ones go for an interview . He hasn’t taken the insurance money either Husband is too obvious in this one . I’m playing contrarian it’s something else in this one

Several of my adult kids are in to cosplay, they have told stories of some bizarre from members. They have chosen to leave the ‘groups’, now hearing about Liz I’m really glad for their disassociation in the groups. What city was Liz in?

@@arbonneladyTN Tomball, Texas

Was Liz and Sergio in that cosplay group or was it just Liz?

Very probably some kind of stalker... female or male alike. Cosplay attracts creeps all the time, I had certain interest in it when I was younger but even at that time I could see that there is a lot of weird people too involved in it.

Dork

It's turned me off from doing a garage sale. Though also I've only done two in my life and didn't like the experience anyway.

@@ckp2ator389 It has put me off too... You would think being in a quiet neighborhood like this would have been safe but nope. Didn't stop a seemingly random attack happening on this poor woman with no chance at all. It's sad to think the killer will probably never be caught

@@ckp2ator389 dont let psychos stop you from doing anything. Just always be ready to defend yourself. We all have to live with our head on a swivel these days unfortunately

@@vicvega3614 "these days" ? There are significantly less serial killers "these days" than there were in the 60's, 70's and 80's. The freaking East Side Rapist got away with 11 murders and 60 rapes by breaking in to peoples houses at night in the 70's and wasn't caught until 2020.. 35 years after her stopped the break ins. The 70's was "the golden age of serial killers". These days, serial killers couldnt get away with that shit these days because technology would have caught them after the first or second murder

I do wonder if the police know more than they're saying, but don't have enough evidence to make a conviction stick. There was no contact, so no DNA. They took the murder weapon with them. Grainy videos aren't definitive enough to really nail down anything. It may be a case of someone needing to talk.

I think the killer killed the wrong person.wrong address.

@@ToniHunterOne Same here.

Could be someone from out of town who left immediately for where they reside. The husband is definitely the main one responsible.

They probably used the car for a very short time, but still, if it was rented, there would be records.

Lord...

Sheila Keen-Warren right?

She was suspected soon afterwards. They just didn’t have enough evidence till D.N.A. advances and even now the trial has been postponed again and again.

Buttafucco Buttafucco... Joey Buttafucco!

So why did she shoot her?

Interesting

FLAG!

Very suspicious and it's usually the husband.

Amber Cheatham…she cheats? Cheat ham what a ham

He gained a half a million dollars after she died in life insurance money. That's a pretty huge motivator. Just because they seemed happy, doesn't mean he was happy in the relationship. Also, in interviews, he was completely devoid of emotion. My red flags were seriously going up.

Definitely had to be a obsessed nerd who was fixated

@No Way 😂😂😂i was gonna coment this too!! like you said he s not rich first of all , then the looks 😬

@No Way you never know, nowadays people act crazy and do crazy things beyond our imagination.

@No Way I believe he was the beneficiary of Elizabeth’s $500,000 life insurance policy so he might be considered rich.

Have you seen Sergio?

Several years later, it said here. Do you know different?

He did post if any woman would like to go to the gym with him like two days after his wife was murdered.

@Annie Gaffney Dr. Grande made a error for the first time. It was 1 year later look it up. It's been reported on various platforms.

@@zebralove2840 that's motive right there if there ever was one

😮

It may take awhile but the case can be solved, the key to solving it is the unique truck. The authorities need to focus on that, maybe intersect Cosplay community and Vehicles.

I saw recently that investigators went to Florida to talk to a POI. I hope this case is solved soon.

Apparently they have a murder weapon so maybe it'll kick off this case again, It is a really terrible murder for apparently no reason so hopefully there's some justice coming

Entry to many gangs and some satanic cults require a confirmed point-blank killing (sometimes of a "good" person)to join. This happens more often than I think anyone credits, and is very plausible here.

@@Thelikebutton123 Honestly if we just annexed the entire cosplay community to Iran we'd all be a lot safer.

Obviously the killer wasn't close to them and lived far away possibly in another state. This case really bothers me i want the sob caught

I read something about his new wife having worked at a car dealership

What if it was a rental, borrowed or stolen vehicle? i hate that it seems we have almost all the puzzle pieces except for the most important one.

You'd have to be insane to marry a man whose wife died a mysterious death. The new wife was probably planning all this

I thought they used a hammer to kill her, not a gun?

@@idab6864 I think, but the perpetrator was dressed up like a swat team member

missy bevers, i think something similar happened here. both women were successful in their own rights and leaders: independent people. envy is an evil emotion that must have possessed these people to take their lives away and i strongly think their husbands are part of it

both crimes happened in the morning too which is the most common time of day for males to commit crime. thinking about missy’s yoga class and liz’s garage sale where they were busy, no way it wasn’t a set up

@@annanicole5494 lol envy is not an "evil emotion". Every one feels envy, it is unavoidable. It is part of the human condition. It won't drive you to do evil things unless you yourself are an evil person. Envy can be used to motivate people to be better or do better more often than people use it to kill people. It isn't good or bad... it just simply is an emotion..

How are people still surprised by the actions of psychopaths?

@@chrisgraham2327 that’s a good question. I am constantly finding myself feeling momentary surprise when I learn of something that I saw coming or should otherwise not be shocked by. For example, I follow politics and yet find myself feeling this shocked sensation pretty regularly, despite the fact that I’m fully aware of the corruption of most politicians and the high percentage of psychopathy in government. I spend a large amount of time each day, however, making an effort to be virtuous. Much of my decision making and thinking is directed by this. I have a bit of a problem in over-doing this, actually. My theory is that evil behavior is so opposite of my mental habits that it feels impossible for just a split second, because it would be so impossible for me to commit evil acts. Then I remember that most people are lukewarm evil and many are fully evil. And I proceed to wonder why I’m constantly surprised! It is a weird phenomenon, totally irrational.

I wouldnt care , you have to think in a mind of a killer , no good morning would stop them

501st legion cosplay is quite elitist from what I know as a SW fan.

Wow sounds like a mental health issue in itself lol

I agree completely.

I agree, surely the police also thought this and investigated? Very frustrating

I agree. The manner of the murder just confirms it for me; the dressing gown/ robe and how he handled the gun, the (supposed) fact he owns a wig that's probably something from his cosplay collection. Looks like your regular Simpsons comic book guy

I have also bern interested. I also think it was a female by the running of the suspect. I’m a shooter, and Dr’s analysis of the way they shot was exactly my thoughts too.

I agree with you, this person moves like a woman and has feminine legs. She's probably someone who never let on that she harbored a grudge against Liz.

Sounds tiresome :[

@@Ashakat42 the rest of my immediate family is in a group, an offshoot of 501st iirc, & out of the 3 of them, 1 constantly complains about others in the same group. I'm not involved so i don't know the reality of the drama, but yes it does happen. No one's saying everyone in the community fights each other & are toxic, just that a noticeable amount do & thus it happens. It's noticed by those outside the community, especially if the bad parts are spread as news instead of the good & bad parts. It could be worded better in the comment, sure, but you're proving their point about the toxicity by saying all that

@Luis Ruiz uhhhhh did you honestly just say you weren't the toxic one when you literally just admitted to 1: not giving a single shit if a person committed suicide and 2: actually TOLD them to do it.... wow...

@@chrisgraham2327 To be fair, it was almost certainly not a real self harm threat. Just a pathetic tantrum / attempted guilt trip.

@@HavanaSyndrome69 and mentally unstable 👀

Missy Bevers. Yes it’s so similar :(

No, it has not been solved. Sadly. The father on law was strange.

@@suebrewer2970 the Gumshoe Stories channel on Missy’s case is really good. Highly recommend.

Possibly a woman that had romantic feelings for Sergio. The police must have checked out his new wife, but I thought it was odd Sergio would remarry 2 to 3 years after his wife got murdered. It’s look Elizabeth got shot, and he immediately started dating.

@@michaelperez9966 How is that odd? 2 to 3 years is more than enough time to mourn and move on. He shouldn't have to be single forever.

@@johnhawthorn5393 I didn’t say he had to be single forever. If Sergio got married 2 to 3 years later, that would suggest he was dating weeks or months after her murder. It looks to me like he didn’t care all that much about Elizabeth.

There is Ring doorbell audio where you can hear a male voice speaking to Liz.

@@michaelperez9966 That does not suggest anything. Some people get married in just a few months prior to meeting each other. You're just inserting your own personal feelings in this case.

why did Sergio get $500k life insurance on his wife?... this case is so obvious, I am very suspicious of her husband. If no life insurance was involved, then that's a different story.

probably. didnt he get with someone pretty quickly after she died?

seems she was out of site of it set up to the left . that could just be lucky for the killer

I'm suspicious of the husband too, but unlike a lot of cases where it's certain the husband did it (fotos dulos, barry morphew, etc) my only suspicion is based pretty much on coincidence--leaving right before the murder, getting married so soon after, etc. As hard as it is to not be suspicious of him, it's like they say... coincidences do happen, that's why there's a word for it.

@@Jenny-sl9gs Yes you are right. Maybe it was just a coincidence. It's only natural to suspect the husband. This case may go unsolved sadly. Such a strange one.

If u want a deep dive on Liz's case go to Arrin Stoner's channel. He put in work actually getting new info. Highly recommend.

@@jennlo88 Thank you. I will.

@@jena.alexia your welcome. He did 2 videos. I recommend watching them in order.

I feel the same way. I think they need to investigate both him and the new wife. There are too many "coincidences" in this case.

Don’t be stupid. He married several years later, which is not strange. And it wasn’t a coincidence because the killer didn’t want him to be there to prevent the murder.

@@icturner23 having an opinion isn't being stupid, I worked homicide for 22 years, look up the percentage stats on murdered wives being committed or orchestrated by the husband, in the high-90s. You can express your opinion without disparaging people and calling them stupid, just makes you look like a pathetic loser troll

Hi Dr. Grande. It seems obvious to me that her husband's girlfriend then suddenly wife was involved. All people like him care about is money. If you don't care about the feelings of people, other than yourself, oftentimes we all, no matter who we are, or what we believe, reap what we sew. Hooefully, they figure this case out before it's too late. Peace & good vibes only await you & Mrs. G. Love, Janine A. Smiley🙂😙😘😍😉🏡🚗🚘😇

Precisely. I don't believe in coincidences. And, as they say, follow the money. Just because they seemed happy, doesn't mean he was happy and wanted to be in the relationship. A half a million dollars is a huge motivator. And I've watched interviews of Sergio, and something about him just doesn't sit well with me. He was either involved or has some kind of knowledge.. He was also void of emotion in interviews. There was just nothing there. My red flags were going up..

Agree.

Who would know all of their actions that morning within minutes, including the spontaneous trip to Starbucks? How would they know that she would be right back and alone? The answer to those questions will most likely be the person who is was behind the crime. If it was an enemy or some unknown stalker they wouldn’t be in her inner circle and know those things, especially the Starbucks trip.

And follow the money.

Nope.... I say take a long, hard look at Sergio's parents..... and research the Paula Zahn story on this case for more red flags.....

To me, it has money, money, money written all over it.

It was.

Half a million insurance payout

I remember this story as well. At the time I learned about it the case was unsolved. They never identified the killer.

@@curtisjeffries9640 It's still unsolved.

Your cat must be a great driver, by now! 🙂

Or knew where it was

Me too I'm addicted to his videos lol 😆

gun happy red state

He is still a suspect. If he was cleared the life insurance would have been paid out. I don’t think he has received it.

It’s clear his current wife was the girl on the video

My ex had garage sales every week ... 😏

By the same logic, you might as well not do anything ever again..

I'm sure he was thoroughly investigated as the only known suspect, and I doubt he is a criminal mastermind.

Exactly my opinion as well. I’ve followed this case very closely and I’ve done a lot of my own research. After watching Sergio’s eulogy at Liz’s memorial and watching his interviews on the Dateline episode my suspicions grew.

@@danidragonfly How was he acting at these occasions?

I have to agree. I've lived long enough to learn that money truly is the root of all evil and 500k is a LOT of money. People have been killed for a lot less. If someone in that cosplay group had ill will towards her I think based on the way they drove the truck and shot the gun their other behavior would have been full of tells. Everything points to the husband being in on it somehow.

@@urbanstrider to me he came across very clinical and unemotional. His facial expressions did not match his words/sentiment.

@The Hydro Store - 🤣😁👍

Karma will get them. There's no hiding from that.

And may do this again!

He may have committed the perfect crime, but there's only one person who knew there was a garage sale, and had a motive to get rid of Liz.

Agreed. Yes, people react differently after such events, but he was completely void of emotion. And I'm not talking right after the event when one is still in shock.. Interviews... there was just nothing. My intuitions was sending up red flags. And he benefitted a half a million dollars in life insurance after she died. That's a lot of money. Just because they seemed happy, doesn't mean he was happy in the relationship.

@@wendigo1919 He married 3yrs later right? If you think about it, he had to have been seeing the other woman already, I highly doubt he met someone without some type of courtship. Yes, I'm a damn Detective 🕵️‍♂️ all women are! (Had to to get that out) Sergio you are a Rat 🐀!

Good call! Stranger things have happened.

@T Raybern I wonder if they weren’t “on something” - drunk or high.

They knew she was setting up a yard sale. They parked around the corner and walked right up to her.
