It blows my mind that someone could pull up to a person in broad daylight, in a residential neighborhood, in 2019, and murder a person, be caught on tape (even if it’s not the best video) and have their vehicle identified, and still not be caught. It’s absolutely terrifying. How can there be no leads? It makes no sense. We really aren’t safe at all
Yeah legit!
This happened in the Houston area. I also live in Houston, and it's very large city with a lot of urban sprawl. Since I moved here, I've seen the population of the metro area jump from around 4 million people to close to 8 million now. In this city, it's very easy for a single vehicle/person to get lost in the crowd, and with the area being more than 70 miles across either way, that person could really have gone anywhere. Also, the truck was not that distinctive to be recognizable. Those larger pickup trucks are truly a dime a dozen here--They're most of what I see when I am out around town.
Several years ago, my home was broken into while I was at a doctor appointment in broad daylight, just like Sarah's case. In many subdivisions here, there aren't a lot of people home during a weekday, most are at work. The people who broke into my home sold some of what they took to a pawnshop a few miles away, and the police recovered those items. At pawnshops, you have to give ID to sell there. Despite having that, the police never bothered to pursue the person who sold stolen property to the pawnshop, so yes, I can see how the truck wouldn't be found by the police here.
Right?! So messy!
Well it was so early that it actually wasn't fully light yet.
Safety is an illusion.
I would think she wouldn’t post the garage sale on social media so her coworkers wouldn’t know she’s having a garage sale since she called out sick 🥸
Exactly
omg duh how did i not even think of that hahahah
🤣right
She did not call off sick. She had already put in for time off for her trip.
@@plynn136 Bella literally said she called in sick
I’ve dug into a lot of true crime and this is one that’s going to haunt me, probably one of the most disturbing cases I’ve come across. The fact that the killer is out there and will probably be watching this video is bone chilling.
I mean there are just psychopaths out there that kill just to kill… driving around that neighborhood just looking for the opportunity to get someone?
Honestly cases like these seem great compared to the junko case, which is one of the worst cases/deaths ever. And most involved (100+)are still out there. The killers barely got any time smh. Now that case is absolutely terrifying and incredibly sad.
Dani Moonz yes, that’s definitely a case that haunts me. So sad & disturbing
It does freak me out to think this killer is still out there and nobody has a clue who it is, that’s terrifying!!
@@danimoonz9610 that case and the Kelley Ann Bates case will always keep me up at night. The things that were done to them and how they lived through the torture for that long is horrific to say the least.
I’m a liver transplant recipient , first in 1997 and second in 2019, in 27 this year and I cannot say how thankful I am for people like Elizabeth who say yes to being organ donors
Rest In Peace ♥️
The shooter driving around the house repeatedly the morning of the shooting AND the night before makes me think they were not in contact with Sergio. It doesn't make sense for them to be scoping out the place when they could just communicate with Sergio and know exactly what time to show up. The shooter arriving 4 minutes after he left makes me think they were parked somewhere close, waiting for his vehicle to pass by.
My main question is how did they plan to kill her if she WASN'T having the garage sale? If she was inside her house instead of right out in the open? It seems like they knew she would be outside and vulnerable. That makes me wonder exactly who she told about the garage sale. It seems like something you'd mention casually to friends or family. "Oh yeah, I decided to have a last-minute garage sale to see if we can make some extra cash for the trip!"
Wow, really interesting points … thank you.
I’ve heard of random murders someone just going out looking for a victim i think this can be one of those cases the shooter kill the first person he saw, is very horrible and sad
Or they were waiting for her to leave for work! Which would make you think it wasn’t a coworker of hers!
Yes, but if he knew the police would pull his phone records, then he could’ve advised them not to reach his phone at all. Just wait until he left for work and randomly murder her. I don’t know, but to be shot that many times is a personal touch, in my opinion.
I completely agree! They were probably looking down the street because it was quiet. She was unfortunately in the wrong place at the wrong time. So sad and disappointing
It's definitely a personal murder. The murderer knew her or knew of her. The fact they even spoke prior to the shooting shows there is more to the story. It's sad that there are no leads.
i agree i feel like it was a stalker maybe
Mistaken identity is possible too. E.g. a wife found out her husband was having an affair with a woman called Elizabeth, she went on his social media and he happened to be friends with this Elizabeth and assumed it was her
@@sadybate6137 that was my first thought as well
waited until the husband left ... literally right after he left, coincidence, I'm not too sure
Was the husband cheating and mistress got jealous I wonder
I turned the volume up and re-listened, and could hear "it's not true, that's not true." Possibly because it was suggested and I'm suggestible, but it must be able to be analyzed professionally. It makes me believe she was denying an accusation. Could be an unhinged person who imagined something entirely untrue. I don't think a hired killer would need to say anything.
yea I agree!! that’s what I heard too
Yeah I was thinking maybe it was someone who was jealous of her relationship and was a bit mentally unwell and had created some fantasy relationship with her husband in her head and thought if she got rid of the wife she could be with him…
@@melsmith3664 ya i agree i think maybe someone from the star wars club
It might have been her coworkers spouse accusing her of having an affair with him. She was probably plotting it for awhile and caught wind she had called out from work from her spouse. I dunno if she was having an affair or not but she might have been accused of doing so.
Agree! Why would a hired killer talk to her for that long or say “I’m going to kill you”
Finally this case gets covered! This happened right down the street from me, her husband put the house for sale within a week of the murder. Our Neighborhood is in front of a busy main road maybe that’s why she wasn’t worried about putting up signs last minute. I think about her often and really hope whoever did this gets caught.
Since this happened so close to you, what is your opinion what happened and what is the talk in your area about who might be responsible? This case plagues me daily. First it was Missy Bevers and now this!
I do not think it was Sergio. He probably couldn't stand living it the same house, on the same property walking down the same driveway as Liz was murdered on. I can't imagine trying to live there. The immense trauma would be too much for most.
As for the truck, I do not think it shows someone was working for Sergio. Liz had a fairly stable routine. If no one knew about the garage sale it's entirely possible that the murderer happened to do it on a day where opportunities aligned.
There is nothing to say they had not driven past the house in days, weeks prior but in a different vehicle.
@Hanííbą́ą́z if my husband was shot in front of our house, I'd be getting out of that house as soon as possible too. I'd never want to live somewhere that I had to constantly relive that memory.
@Hanííbą́ą́z He's guilty as af.
She called in sick for work! There’s a possible reason that she didn’t tell a lot of people or post it on Facebook
Probably because she disnt want her employer to find out. She likely had a few coworkers as friends. Its not that far fetched
We're did she get Elizabeth called in sick? She was planning the garage sale for weeks. I need a source.
@@julioenriq3322 she said she called in sick to work so she could have the garage sale - pulled a sicky
Calling off isn't suspicious lol
@@user-xg9jb3nz9v she didn’t say it’s suspicious, she’s saying that’s why she didnt post it on facebook
It's maddening because it can literally be anyone that killed her. It could be a complete stranger who just wants to feel what it's like. It could be a mentally ill person. It could be a disgruntled coworker. It could even be a gang initiation. Or maybe a mistaken identity. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll ever know.
I think we will find out sooner or later
The strange thing is the killer was staking out the house. She was targeted.
it was definitely a mentally ill person, only mentally ill people can murder
Most (not all) mentally ill people are more likely to hurt or kill themselves rather than anyone else.
@@stacirenee4122 I don’t think they mean mentally ill like depressed, or ptsd, I think they mean on the other end of the spectrum like psychopath and sociopath x
On behalf of the sane Americans- just disregard the ones who nitpick pronunciations and can’t seem to grasp that people in other countries (and regions within our own country) say things differently. I don’t know how they don’t realize that it doesn’t mean it’s incorrect. 🤦🏼♀️
On behalf of an Australian who gets annoyed at Americans constantly assuming their way= correct way, thank you!
@@erm492 and on the behalf of British people too!! We say Nissan in the same way as Bella - and I see Americans going crazy at British youtubers all the time because they assume only Americans know how to speak properly 😂😂😂 so annoying!
My opinion: Sergio send someone to kill her.
I personally hear her say "good morning" "no it's not true" 2x and I hear "Sergio" I also hear something along "going to kill you" or "kill you" so my theory is the shooter told her before shooting her "Sergio send me to kill you" she responded "no it's not true".
I saw no tactual tears in any of his interviews (I know it doesn't proof anything)
He did get together and engaged withing the year. I just personally can't even imagine moving on if my husband is killed withing the year. Not to mention he went with his new bride to Orlando to the Harry Potter world withing 1.5 of her murdered. Why take your new bride to the place your murdered wife was so looking forward to go with YOU. idk just my opinion 🤷♀️
oooo that’s good
Totally that new wife! After looking her up, immediately you could tell by body shape and hair. Also Elizabeth wouldn't have felt unsafe with a woman approaching her.
I definitely hear "Sergio" 2x and also "kill you" 🤔
I definitely think it was Sergio. I wonder if police had checked his computers or found any evidence that he had a second phone. It’s strange that he moved on so quickly and isn’t involved in pursuing justice for her.
I did hear " kill you ", "sent me to kill you".
I genuinely think it's mistaken identity.
I think it's a woman, her partner was having an affair or something, she's found out who with, but she had the wrong information.
So she staked out the house, waited for Sergio to leave and took her chance.
That's why it's sloppy, and why it was 'conveniently' just after Sergio left, and why they can't find any links
Editing to add: that would also tie in with the "that's not true", if she was confronted by someone accusing her of having an affair
Agreed. The no links thing narrows it pretty well. Means it was someone who knew of her (at least thought they did) but that Elizabeth obviously didn't know.
Agreed. She genuinely sounded confused and scared
I agree. I know some people will say surely if someone was going to commit a murder, they'd make sure it was the right house they targeted, but I had a friend whose family moved into a house that previously belonged to a gambling addict and for YEARS they had people turning up in the middle of the night with weapons trying to break in, and got threatening letters demanding money. I guess word hadn't spread that it was a new family living there. To the point that the police gave them several panic buttons connected directly to the station to position around the house. There was also a case I remember watching on the news here in the UK about a guy who went to throw acid in the face of a man he believed to be a child abuser, but it was the wrong guy. He drove 6 hours or something and ended up throwing acid over an innocent man, blinding him for life and melting his whole face off. It was terrible.
Yess! You spoke my mind! Maybe there's a chance he didn't think the other woman would follow through. Then once she killed her, he realized that he'd never see his wife again and that's why he genuinely looks devastated.
Yeah, I have to agree that this is the most likely scenario to me. The murder feels personal (the stalking, the verbal confrontation, etc.); yet, this woman and this car were so distinctive, and no effort was done by the killer to really cover her tracks at all. Yet, nobody in their circle of friends/family could identify her. In the absence of evidence of an affair on either side, it just feels as though this was a "personal" murder, but done by a complete stranger. There are plenty of incidents of people who imagine paranoid scenarios in their head and become fixated on taking their anger out on an unwitting target. Usually, they don't escalate to murder, but sometimes they do.
Just to comment on the garage sale, that might seem odd to some people…the lack of advertising. But I live in Texas and we’ve had tons at garage/yard sales and I’ve never advertised online. It’s rather normal for people to set signs 🪧 out the morning of. Typically others will be having yard sales as well. And there are people that drive around looking for the signs. They make a day of “yard selling” aka going to yard sales. So just an observation. 😊
I know where I grew up, when others were having sales too, it was like an entire suburb thing. The area I live in is called Anderson, so it’s an organized Anderson yard sale weekend. Since I didn’t see anybody else on the CCTV, I’m not sure if others were having any! Of course, it could’ve just been out of view
Yeah that's how my town did it too. Certain weekends everyone in an area does garage sales and you just drive around looking for them.
Yes and there are early morning cruisers (as I like to call them) trying to seek out the sales before they starts. Probably why she wasn’t too concerned when someone showed up so early.
Yup! From houston area and it’s very common. Just with yard signs and sometimes there’s no yard signs at all.
I’m from texas too and we did this too!!
I just want to point out that for this “woman” to have scoped out the house so much before, CLEARLY they knew what they were going there to do, so why purposely go there wearing a dress? I feel like that’s so “inconvenient” for a lack of a better word. But on top of that, why would she leave her hair down?!?! She could risk leaving hair behind, and again it’s “inconvenient.” Wouldn’t you want to pull your hair back? To me it just seems like a guy in a dress and a wig to throw police off of his scent. That’s how it seems to me.
Maybe it was a wig.
It was a DUDE that did it.
Definitely seems like a wig, and I really do think it was a man in a costume rather than a woman. The dead sprint back to the car after the shooting does not look at all like a woman.
@@KittyCat260 RIGHT?!?!?!
What if Sergio was having an affair?
He remarried with a year, a year after the supposed “love of his life” is murdered. The woman he married looks eerily similar in build to the killer in the video. Burner phones are so easy to get & even easier to dispose of.
Where did you find this info?
Source?
Men remarrying a year later is not uncommon! Women remarrying is more rare, statistically.
How can they even say his new wife looks like the killer? He/she is barely identified! Also, men do tend to remarry quickly…
I went to school with Britt Lapthorne from Whittlesea Victoria and she was murdered while backpacking in Croatia when she was 21 and the case is still not solved. Please look into sharing her story, Britt was so beautiful.
@@nickmotsarsky4382 I didn’t mean she was “beautiful” physically I meant personality
@@nickmotsarsky4382 such an ignorant thing to say…. that poor women got murdered and you’re commenting on how pretty enough she is? it’s sad when anyone dies. period.
@@kaileydunn6835 thank you for saying that I totally agree but was so shocked I didn’t know what to say
@@nickmotsarsky4382 wtf?
@@nickmotsarsky4382 wow, thats harsh
This case always makes me so sad 😭 she seemed like such a sweet, genuine person and it makes me so heartbroken that she was greeting the person so happily. I hope her family gets peace of knowing who did this too her one day.
Where is the husband now?
Was there any life insurance?
So many questions not enough answers... Poor lady.... I hope they find justice for her !!!!
honestly I think Sergio was definitely linked somehow. whether it be an affair or a hit man, something is off. Liz told very few people about the garage sale and how did they know she would be alone in the front of her driveway at 6 am? and how did they know Sergio was even going to leave the house at that time? I also feel like the killer could have told her that Sergio hired them to kill her, hence her saying “no that’s not true”. I also find it odd that Sergio remarried just a year after the incident… so bizarre
And the fact that it’s 4 minutes after he left as if he told someone the exact time he would be leaving
but i feel like if sergio had a hit man then why did they drive past the night before and the morning of? like wouldn’t the person just contact the him
@@myabrown5269maybe to scope out the house? like planning their route/ how they were going to do it? idk
Crazy that if her front entryway wasn’t such a narrow tunnel, and was more of an open porch, we’d have a way better view of what was going on… it’s like the killer had everything in their favor.
Or maybe they knew the ring doorbell wouldn’t be able to catch much…
I'm always moved by these cases but seeing everyone holding up the wands and light sabers and the shirts they were wearing really really got me. That legitimately made me cry. I raise my wand for Liz ❤
same, just seeing that all i could think about was the way she cared for other and the way people cared for her
I was there. It was beyond emotional.
i literally cannot hear ANYTHING in that ring doorbell clip. I don’t know where people are hearing “that’s not true”
or literally anything else lmao
SAME! omg i thought i was the only one
girly pop replied to their own comment😭😭
@@illus1on_exeHAHHAHAHAH LMFAO
@@Musiclovergirl1232 its so funny hahahaha why🤣😭
This is my theory. I think that Sergio might have been having an affair with another woman, but he didn’t want to end his marriage with Elizabeth. I replayed the audio a few times & I definitely heard Elizabeth say “That’s not true” to the killer twice. The footage also looked like it was a female. It just seems really suspicious that Sergio got into another relationship & then got married not long after Elizabeth’s death. I feel like he’s definitely hiding something. How did the killer know that Elizabeth was going to be the only person running the garage sale? The killer arrived 4 minutes after Sergio left for work. RIP Elizabeth 🕊
And how was Sergio having an affair with no records of anything on his phone? You can’t delete anything, please can get ahold of everything. Did he have a burner phone?
@@natatron I think all cheaters have a second phone, if they don’t want their partners to find out.
@@natatron Just cause you cant find the evidence doesnt mean that there isnt any. it is sad how easy it is to cheat.
I come for the earrings and stay for bella's captivating story telling skills
I can't believe it was caught on camera, the truck drove past and there's NOTHING? police can't find a way to zoom in on the license plate? It's just crazy that this person has got away with it.
It doesn't look like the vehicle plates were visable at all.
There is also the chance that the license plate was a fake or covered up. Also you can zoom in and clear an image but it's not really miracle work - often times you still can't see anything or decipher small text.
Unfortunately, the cameras are not that great. I know they show on CSI and other police procedural shows that you can just zoom in and get the number, but that is strictly a Hollywood thing and that's just not possible. I have security cameras on my house, and the middle of the road ones for quality cannot make out license plates. You have to buy super expensive top of the line cameras for that. The vast majority of homeowners who do get cameras installed cannot afford that level of camera needed to see license plates.
Shouldn't there be a database where you can search a car model and see list of people who owns this car? And go interview all of them. I heard about this in some another case, there were more than 1000 people with same car model and police did check every person. Maybe this is not a thing in US, I don't know
@@JelenaP991 That would fall under unreasonable search & seizure kinds of laws. So it’s not a thing in the US, at least in a big city. Small towns are a different story, with less vehicles to track down. If the person who actually owned the truck could be found, they’ll have ditched that vehicle already and told the police “it was stolen” the day or week before the crime. So they wouldn’t have proof that way, unless there was something compelling against that. I live in the Houston area myself, and large pickup trucks are a dime a dozen. In a metropolitan area of close to 8 million people. It’s difficult to find someone in this large area.
For the amount of love that he had for her- according to everyone, he got in a relationship/remarried hella quickly. If she did really say “that’s not true” it could be that the murderer was announcing the affair/relationship.
So he’s dating someone already?!
@@natalymarie2088 according to his facebook within a year or so he was already in a serious relationship and he’s now married
@@sabriguzman I just saw his Facebook and his new wife has a body and hair of the person walking and running away from the video, idk that’s just my opinion but daaaangg that was quick
@@natalymarie2088 I hope one day and one day soon the truth comes out
@Sheloves Shoes didn’t think of that.. 👀
I’ve always thought that Sergio is involved somehow, he got married within a year with a woman named Amber Cheatham after Elizabeth was murdered. Amber’s body complexion is eerily similar to the killer who I think is a woman. If she had a life insurance makes sense to me that he wanted to start a new life with her. For me is clear what happened.
I totally agree. I think he had a burner phone that he used for his affair.
Did you notice ambers built is literally the same from the video 😳
And even if the police could not find any evidence on his phone, how do we know he didn't have another phone or other ways to hide proof? I hope the police isn't been so naive and I would even go to comparing his new wife Amber built, walk, posture, clothing, voice and run skills to the video. And what about the car, the gun? I just hope they find the truth and bring peace to Elizabeth and her family. Maybe he was involve, maybe not. But my gut still tells me this horrible crime was somehow personal.
He was remarried within 1 year?! wow
OH?!
I've been following you forever, and it blows me away that you made a video on this case as someone with such a large platform. I am in her Garrison in the 501st Legion and I remember when everything happened. Her family and our community have been searching desperately for answers for years and every little bit of exposure we can get helps immensely. Thank you so much.
What are your or the family’s personal views on who did it ? I really hope that the case gets closed someday. For someone who didn’t know the person or the family and husband it’s really hard to believe one or the other theory…it just seams so weird, the way the killer just walks up and explains why she/he is doing it
@@lisenaf2599 None of us in the community have literally any idea. I haven't spoken with the family personally since this occurred, but from what I have been made aware of they are still as confused as everyone else.
my mind personally goes to a botched hit job and mistaken identity. My friends family moved into a house that previously belonged to a gambling addict and for YEARS they had people turning up in the middle of the night with weapons, or sending threatening letters demanding money. I guess word hadn't spread that it was a new family living there. Thank goodness they're okay now but I mean for *years* all sorts of sketchy folks turned up, to the point that the police gave them several panic buttons connected directly to the station to position around the house. In this case, for there to be no connection to her in terms of enemies or any marital issues, and yet clearly it not be a robbery, makes me think it was targeted but whoever it was didn't do their research - maybe they were just told that there was a man and woman at this residence and the woman was to be killed, but that couple had already moved, or lived on a street with a similar name, and they got it wrong.
I agree, I think it's mistaken identity too.
That has happened. True story. I can’t not remember the name but a woman was jogging and just outside of her house when a gunman came up to her and shot her, dead. When it was finally solved it was a case of mistaken identity . The person the gunman was to kill lived in a very similar neighborhood. So that kind of a thing does happen.
❤️💜💚
same i thought the same thing.. mistaken idenitity,,, until i saw that it was a female.. then i thought personal...
idk i thought this too, however some things dont add up with this theory. if they mistook her for someone else, they still somehow had to know that she was hosting a garage sale and would be alone. how would the killer know she was having a gargage sale alone when they just put signs about it up just that morning? only people close to her knew so i feel as though it had to be someone who knew her and was specifically targeting elizabeth
Can certainly imagine the hitman noch knowing that the original target wasn't living there anymore. Or the client.
Had a police guy stand infront of the door once asking if we're hiding some guy and the timeframe he gave me, the very house I lived in hadn't even been built yet. If you plan on murdering someone I would hope you did your research throughly and make sure it's the person you're targetting. I mean, you shouldn't even consider it, but given that people DO not even consider but go through with it, I wanted to believe they at least make sure they don't get anyone involved who has nothing to do with whatever the apparent issue is. "Whoops, messed up, sorry." just doesn't cut it.
I wonder if they’ve checked which cellphones entered the area at the times the car was seen in the neighbourhood. I believe the police can check via cell tower pings, and since the car came into the area more than once, they would be somewhat easier to identify than someone who just came by once. They would have to have a phone in the car with them is the only thing. Very sad story whatever the case. RIP Elizabeth 🕊
Yeah!!! I wonder if they tried this!
you’re right! the type of search that it is has a weird name but i’ve heard of them doing it before when this dude went missing in the middle of a country road out in the middle of nowhere but they didn’t find anything which made it a crazy ass case. but besides the point! they can do that!!
I wondered this too since it was such a quiet street.
I think they need to know what phone they are looking for and not just a general area and time.
You have a point. I almost want to believe that the police is making a flaw in the case for a woman to be killed in broad daylight and can’t figure out who done it!
Here are my questions: did he benefit from any life insurances from her death? Did he make a lot of money by selling the house? Has anyone talked to anyone involed of his previous relationships? Are we SHURE he only has 1 phone? Because this is noooo opportune killing someone stalked her
That would be the polices first line of inquiry. The spouse is always the first person of interest, then they work outwards from there, to close friends and family members. So sad that the killer is still out there. I hope her family can get justice for the senseless murder of Elizabeth😢.
Good questions!
I agree with this! And did no one else in the neighborhood not have cameras? I wonder if police even looked at Sergios computers, phones etc. did Sergio go on the trip? Such a sad case I hope they figure this out soon!
What a sad thing to happen. As soon as you said "within 4 minutes of Sergio leaving ..." straight away I said to myself "he did it". He orchestrated it whether it be a hit or whatever. But it just seems weird the shooter arrived within minutes of Sergio leaving .... that bit alone screams that they knew when he would be gone and when she would be ... accessible?
Yep
Your wild earrings help me remember which videos of yours I've already seen. Thank you for that.
I definitely heard “No that’s not true.” (Killer says something) “That’s not true”. And the second time she says it she sounds more scared obviously. This is horrible and I really hope they find who did it.
That's exactly what I hear too
Me too
Yess I hear that’s not true twice too the second time is definitely said with more urgency
I heard the same thing!! There is definitely a “that’s not true” in there!! I usually can’t make out distorted audio very well and I could barely make out her saying “good morning” but I still heard “no that’s not true”. This is such a crazy case. I have seen a couple mistaken identity cases that were really hard to solve like this but I can’t help but think Sergio was involved in this. How else do you justify getting married to someone the same year your wife was brutally murdered in front of the home you shared. Different people grieve different ways but DAMN!!
@@loganbloomer2490 I don't believe he got married that quickly. This happened 2 streets over from me, so I have been a little obsessed with the case. But, it looks like they got married very recently. It also looks like he is trying to bring attention to her case. I know I have seen him on local news and newspapers talking about it. So, while I typically go to the spouses first, in this case it just doesn't seem to fit. But that's just my opinion. 🤷♀️
This person obviously knew that there were two cars at the residence (drove past the night before and again early next morning) and waited for one person to drive away. But if they were targeting her, how did they know it was the husband that took one of the cars. Was it luck for the killer that it happened to be the husband or did they know whose car was whose? Or were they watching and waiting?. Certainly could not have been random if they had scoped the place earlier.
Can you PLEASE do a case on tiffany valiante of New Jersey. I personally knew the details of the case and it invokes EXTREMELY-strange information. Different statements from the railroad train conductors, party goers showing up at her door the day after she went missing asking for her phone, apparently threats on her phone and her mother possibly being involved. I knew someone who worked at the law firm her parents went to have the certificate of her death changed over and it’s INSANELY INTRIGUING. Please.
Love your videos.
I looked at his new wife on fb and she has the right body type…. She could be the killer!?
When I was younger, 40 years ago I worked at the local Waffle House I was 18 years old and one of my regulars got sick was in the hospital, I sent a get well card and sent it to him thru one of his friends that was going to visit him, all so very innocent. Weeks later a Lady sat in my section, I said good morning would you like some coffee, this lady was ripping into me I mean bad, accusing me of having a affair with her husband, I had no clue who she was or who her husband was , for I knew I was not having a affair with a much older guy, she was in her fifties, I could not say anything to convince her she had it wrong, had we been alone I believe she would have killed me, very scary, the reason I found out after was I signed the card, Love Linda. I was young, you get to know your customers, so very innocent, if someone had not of told me the why i would never had know what set this lady on a quest to me.. I believe this happens and someone could get away with a murder in a situation like this. Just food for thought.
omg that's crazy, and you were just trying to be kind! Bless your heart! What a strange assumption to jump on (on her end) and to treat you so terribly... surely if she was convinced of the affair, she'd take it out on her husband? He's the one "cheating"? Ugh, what a nightmare. Glad you made it out of that encounter unscathed!
@@RealElongatedMuskrat thank you I was so young also at 18 we just try to be nice, today at fifty eight she probably would of been scared of me. 😆
I had something like that happen to me! I was 22 and a brand new teacher having a hard time, and my custodian (in his fifties) was really kind and friendly to me. There was nothing weird going on at all- I never even saw him anywhere but at school, but his wife came up to my classroom one day and confronted me. Like I'd want an old married man- yuck! To this day I wonder why she thought he was having an affair with me, and what he'd done to make her so suspicious! Or if she was just that way? It was one of the stranger experiences of my life.
So glad you’re back, Bella! Thank you for covering these cases so well!
I don't hear her say "good morning" and it took me time to even realize that these sounds are supposed to be voices. But I replayed it about 10 times with volume up and I definitely hear someone say "not true" twice (or something simillar). I think maybe the killer's partner had an affair and the killer found out and mistakenly thought it was Elizabeth. I don't think Sergio was involved or that he (or Elizabeth) had an affair. I think it was all a huge mistake done by someone hot-headed without thinking a lot. So sad.
I’ve watched it so many times with my headphones in and the volume all the way up and i cant hear anything. It sounds like a neighbor has a garage door open with a radio on lmao
@@beaniebb same it just sounds like the spookiest whispering noises ever
@@jillstrickland7227 ghosties
This is my theory too. I think it's definitely a woman. It's definitely personal because of the amount of gun shots. And to wait and shoot her in the head after shootng her in the chest makes me believe it was very personal. I think they should talk to any men she was friends with. Maybe she told a friend or coworker to leave their spouse and the spouse got extremely mad?? Just so very very sad.
19:51 do you hear "Sergio sent me to kill you" or "Sergio sent me, fuck you"?
Though i really don't believe that Sergio did this.
This case hit a serious nerve and had me very emotional. This could happen to anyone and it’s totally horrific. To drive back after killing someone is “planned and the killer needed to know she’s dead.” I feel like it’s personal too and the killer could allegedly hired to kill her. Why not the husband? Why did the killer pick her..?
I can’t help but think Sergio must know SOMETHING about this. Someone just comes up and shoots his wife and he has NO idea who it was?! Doesn’t make sense to me. He did get engaged and married again within a year. Idk. I just can’t believe it was random. And he’s got to have at least some inkling to what was possibly going on.. Either that or Elizabeth was having an affair at work or she was making someone jealous.
I think the shooter looks like a female too for sure and I don’t believe it was random..
I thought the same thing. My theory was that he was seeing someone else and the other woman is the attacker because it’s already theorised that the attacker is a woman
@@b.5795 Or HE could be innocent, and a woman who had an obsession with him decided to remove Elizabeth as an obstacle to getting with him. Just a thought….
The shooter looks like a woman to me.
Did he get remarried within a year of her death or after? Where did you find this, I can't find anything about him
Makes you wonder if it is a case of "if I can't have her, nobody can".
Personally I think it’s a “if I can’t have him, neither can she.”
@@chestex. well we were thinking along the same lines. Obsession. Wonder if he is with anyone now.
@@cindybraddock1222 he is...I'm from the area. I just looked him up on fb and he is married again.
@@Chi-fe5hy suspish
@@Chi-fe5hy that isn't a good sign.
I do belive that Sergio had something to do with this. The killer obviously knew that she was going to have a garage sale and the fact that they came exactly four minutes later after Sergio left, leads me to beleive that her husband notifed the killer and acted upon accordingly. Killer could have been parked near by as well.
I just saw his Facebook page and he is with a woman and it looks a little strange.
The new wife has a super similar build to the shooter in the video.
@@Kb-ol4xs wait fr?
@@Kb-ol4xs that’s such a long shot.
if he had something to do with it it just doesn’t make sense to be scoping out the place numerous times prior to the event. some sort of contact would have been in place. other than the common pattern of spouses involved in these instances, i truly do not see it. they drove by the same morning before sergio even left, they were waiting until he was gone, and had been in the area to check routines. i don’t think it’s insane that their car showed up again 4 min after he left.
This just seems like an inside job. Can’t help be think the hubby had something to do with it. I know we all grieve differently but he was in a new relationship within 6 months after her death and is now married.
New wife does have the build of the killer too 😩creepy
@@valariehernandez9924 omg 😳 I thought the same thing! She looks a lot like the figure in the surveillance video, dress and long hair.
I’m so excited you are back! Thank you for another sad but thoroughly researched and respectfully delivered video.
What if one of them had a burner phone that no one knew about except the person they were having an affair with. There would be no trace of the affair.
exactly my thoughts
The husband had a "new" girlfriend a couple months later, got married soon after, they wore black at the wedding...killer had a similar build as his new wife (overweight, short woman with a waddle)...Liz was also the main breadwinner and had a 500k life insurance policy. It was NOT Liz's idea to have the garage sale last minute, it was Sergio's (very out of character for her precisely because she was one to advertise and make her sales public. He left 4 minutes before she was shot (he practically pulled out of the driveway then they pull up; about 10 minutes earlier than he normally did for work according to neighbors). The shooter knew where their doorbell camera was and actually told Liz to move to the right before shooting her (in order to move her out of frame and they themselves were extremely careful not to step into frame fully-look at other channels like Arrin ). I 100% believe the husband was involved, and likely the new wife. If they are not involved, fine...but I, and most people in the area believe they are at this point. If they are I hope they get convicted and rot in prison, either way, at the very least I hope karma annihilates them and/or anyone else involved.
Allegedly, as I was going down the Reddit rabbit hole the new wife was actually apart of the same Star Wars cosplay community, so they knew each other beforehand.
@@princ3sssEr3nity I didn't even know that and I've researched this case extensively!!🤯i had a feeling, but couldn't find definitive proof...where'd you find that?! Anyways, awesome job, we need to keep digging a d hopefully get Liz justice!! Hope the cops know this and are investigating
Literally started bawling when they put their wands in the air for her cuz being a harry potter lover myself i know they did that when dumbledore died, elizabeth would have loved that for sure, rest in peace queen.
I got into your videos over your holiday hiatus and am pretty sure I've binged just about all of them, currently in love with your videos, looking forward to more in 2022!
This case has always baffled me. I’ve often wondered if it was mistaken identity. Like someone payed for a hit but the killer got the wrong person. I’ve just never thought her husband seemed guilty. It’s so sad … she seemed like a wonderful person. I do hope answers are found eventually. Great work Bella ! Happy New Year 💥
Usually I can watch your videos and not be scared or like paranoid but this one gave me chills I can’t explain why 🤷♀️
I just get so happy when Bella posts! It's like ur bestie popping up with a juicy story from work
i’m not tryna be rude but i don’t think it’s very respectful to compare a murder case to a juicy story, like it’s some harmless gossip. they are real cases with real victims. you probably didn’t mean it that way, but just a thought
I'm sad to see this case is still unsolved. Thanks so much Bella for the upload!! I've missed you!😊💕
I was thinking when I first heard about this case that they were mistaking her for someone else. That seems possible. But its very strange to me that they couldn't find any other footage of that truck from another neighbor or a business or somewhere leaving the area. It seems like there should be something more
Do you think it’s possible that the police are holding this information back? I can’t imagine why they’d do that but??
@@westleyjay that's possible. Not sure why they would this long after tho. Cause releasing that info could have let the public help...its very strange
omg i was thinking this too. i mean the police know what type of car the killer was driving and the exact time the murder happened so why can’t they check all surveillance cameras in the entire area around that time
@@lola789ify1 I hope they did, there's been cases that were solved by security footage from local businesses.
So happy to see you doing this one! I’ve seen just one other person cover it & I think about her everyday! This one truly haunts me! I just don’t know I’m stumped as well I feel like we are missing a big clue or big part of the story is left out ugh it drives me crazy!
I don’t usually comment on these videos nor point fingers, but as others have pointed out, Elizabeth’s killer in the video really does having striking similarities to Sergio’s new wife, whom he married within a year of his ex wife’s death. Further, on her Facebook she has shared loads of posts about finding Elizabeth’s killer which seems quite odd to me because they say that often a murderer will be at the scene of the crime, or leading the search party
Wow! I just checked them out on Facebook. New wife seems a lot younger. I don't know folks. Something seems off
Oooh I'm a happy Blueland customer! I was shocked at how inexpensive the refill tablets were when I went to buy some!
Hey sweet girl! I hope you’re doing great and that the new year is treating you well! Thanks for another video, I’ve never heard of Elizabeth’s case!? So horrible. 🙁 Please remember to take time for YOU!! Sending much love and positivity to you, Kerry and the furbabies! 🙏🏼😘❤️
She seemed like a great person, someone who you could geek out with and talk about fandoms all day.
Thanks for covering a case from my area. I live so close to this case and have never heard of it, unfortunately there’s just that much crime in the city. I’m not surprised by the lack of answers.
I'm not surprised her garage sale was not on FB.. considering she called into work
Can you explain this? Im confused what you mean?
@@tpwk9224 she called in sick to work so she could host her garage sale which is most likely the reason why she didn’t advertise it anywhere- to avoid getting into trouble at work for falsely calling sick
@@libbygreaves5472 Oh ok thank you am
oh how we’ve missed you bella! happy new year, i hope you’ve been well💖
Omg I so missed you and your stories! Glad you're back! Happy New Year!
In the audio I can even hear the name "Sergio". This is definitely one of the strangest cases I've heard in a while
I've seen this story a few times and I truly believe that her husband knows way more than he's willing to admit right now. He leaves and less than 5 mins later his wife is shot.... C'mon, he's behind it. Idk, but that's my opinion. Ya know, what happens in the dark always come to light. The truth will eventually come out.
Someone else in the comments mentioned he’s already married again. Bruhhhh why is his new wife built JUST LIKE the figure at 33:11 👀👀🤌🏻
If you knew him, you wouldn’t think it for a second.
@@emilykendrick4856 thats what you think about a lot of people
This case is very eerie- especially, that video. I wanna say the husband's involved some how, some kinda way.
I’ve never understood the whole, “They sold the house immediately after so they must’ve done something!” Hell, my cousin died from a bad reaction to medication. Case closed. Her husband wasn’t even suspected… until he sold their house. Why? His son was having a rough time coping with the idea his stepmother had literally just died, but lived in a different state. They didn’t have enough money to uproot his entire life, change schools, all that jazz. My cousin’s husband didn’t have enough money to pay for the house he lived in AND buy an apartment in another state. Nor did he want to live in the house where his wife died. So he sold the house and moved to take care of his son. That’s when the police wanted to start calling him a bad husband. How? The ME quite literally proved it was an allergic reaction to a new medication. She died in her sleep. It took several paramedics to pry him off her, as he wouldn’t stop trying CPR, despite her having been dead for hours.
Right? I would think it’s weirder to NOT sell the house and get the hell out of where your wife was violently murdered. I’m sorry about your cousin as well. That’s awful.
I saw a death in front of my apartment complex and every time I drive home and turn into my driveway i get to see it again in my mind
I have absolutely zero questions about people who want to move away from places loved ones died
Completely stupid the police would suspect anything over selling a house. We had a murder suicide in my hometown. The mom who's daughter was killed moved immediately. Why would you want to live there?
Hi Bella lovely to see you back! Please can you do a still or a description of your earrings each week?
Here is my hypothesis:
The husband organized it for profit. He probably got the life insurance and the money from selling the house. The police looked at their phone but maybe the husband had a burner phone. Possibly used to stall the killer until he left. The murder happened minutes after he left and the killer passed minutes before the husband left. It’s important to remind ourselves that, because the family members said they had a great relationship doesn’t mean it’s true. You never can tell what really happens behind closed doors. Thank you for sharing this case! It’s quite a rough one to crack. Cheers!
Yes this is my thoughts exactly!
I was just rewatching your old videos because I had 0 stuff to watch, I'm so excited to watch this, thank you! 🙌
I love how energetic and happy you are. You are really happy addictive. Lol!! I really enjoy your channel and how well you cover these stories. Very respectful to the deceased and their families. So glad you don’t ramble on and on like some crime stories.
Makes my day when I see new mystery mondays !!
I heard this case before. This story make me so sad. I hope this case be solved soon. Such a tragic story.
Thank you so much for covering this case. It happened not too far from me and I still think about it frequently.
I say “nice en” to annoy my husband when seeing a Nissan 🤣🤣🤣
This case reminds me a lot of the Missy Bevers case - Car scoping out the area, the person caught on video, early in the morning, both took place in Texas, no clear idea of a motive, and the perpetrator never being identified just to name a few similarities 😳
The situation makes me believe that the killer was maybe a stalker of some sort (either hers or the husband’s) who was mentally ill and impulsive and proceeded to kill her out of rage or some kind of delusion. Another theory that comes to mind is that someone from work (or elsewhere, you name it) had a crush on Sergio, knew he was married, figured out where he lived and killed Elizabeth in order to “be with him” (mental illness would also be obvious in this case, as it seems pretty impulsive and non-thought-through). I hope they catch the killer soon
This was exactly the vibe I got - deranged woman with a fantasy whose mind became obsessed with killing Elizabeth for some jealous reason. The motive won't make sense because the woman is not living in reality. I would look at Sergio's co-workers or women from the star wars group.
It's Sunday where I'm at, but I'm ALWAYS down for a mystery Monday! Excited to see this year's new content Bella 🤗
Also I definitely heard someone say I'm going to kill you in the audio clip. It seems like they had the wrong person.
I absolutely love your pronunciation like everything. Ppl need to leave you alone lol. Great job!
Bella brightens my work day. Thank you Bella for being awesome!
watching in 2024 🎉
My mind immediately went to her possibly having a stalker or someone who was obsessed/jealous of her. This could definitely tie into the hitman theory as someone hired to killer her. I struggle to see how her husband could be involved and get away with it as he seems to have been one of the main suspects and has obviously been investigating. I definitely think it could have been someone watching her from afar and then they killed her. Such a tragic case that will definitely stay with me.
I'm from Houston, Tx myself. Great video and channel. Much love.
I love your videos so much!! I get so scared watching these but I still cant stop coming back to your channel. Your voice is so relaxing and I lovvvvvve your accent so much!!
I’ve heard this case before. It’s really puzzling. If Sergio did it he’s a darn good actor because he does seem genuinely devastated. It’s just a feeling but keep thinking it’s someone connected to the Star Wars club. Maybe the spouse of someone also in the group. Maybe they thought they were having an affair? I think they need to take a look at what vehicles those people owned or had access to. Someone knows who’s truck that is. If the cops can tell the make, model and year of the truck and color shouldn’t they be able to cross reference the DMV records? The fact that the husband just left does look suspicious but if the person had been watching the house then yeah they would know he was gone so? I want to know did she normally leave the house before or after Sergio To go to work. If she left after then it may have been a coincidence that she was out side getting the sale ready. Maybe the killer had originally planned to walk up to the door and shoot but got lucky (for lack of a better word) and she happened to be outside? All very confusing. Also I’m wondering about a coworker that may have thought she was messing with her husband if it’s not someone in the club. I hope they solve it. I’m surprised with all the video surveillance they haven’t yet
I also think it could've been someone in the star wars club. There's so many of them maybe there were a lot that knew of her but she didn't actually know them and one of them thought she was having an affair w their significant other so they wanted her killed. And maybe it was an amateur hitman from the star wars club that accepted to do it. but idk. still so sad.
I had the exact same thoughts as I was watching. All great points.
I always thought it was a rental
And i feel like it was star wars club but can't say why, maybe the costumey and dramatic behavior
Plus I've been around nerds and nerd drama, this is the logical extension of the jealous freakouts I've seen
Look up the Jane Carver case, it's from California in 1995, a case of mistaken identity where a sloppy hitman kills the wrong person for a loan shark, it's crazy but maybe there is a similar ending for this case
You have no idea how happy your videos make me!!! 🥺❤️
I love the way you pronounce Tomball, it makes me realize how much of a southern drawl we use when we say it here :)
My gut just tells me the husband is involved in some way. But I do agree, if he was, why where they circling the block waiting for him to leave? He would have been able to say exactly when he’s leaving. But also, without him, how would they know they’d even catch her in front of her house by herself? Doesn’t seem like they were going to break in to kill her had she not been out front, as they’d cases the house several times and didn’t enter. He could have given them a rough estimate of the time he leaves, he wasn’t gone yet after the first drive past, but by the second drive past, he was gone and she was outside, as he may have told them she would be.
Based on information you've described, there is NO way this was random. She absolutely was the target, whether she was killed because of someone that knew her or Sergio, they made sure she was alone and they made sure she was dead before & after they shot her. And they didn't steal anything, so it was not a robbery. It seems like a personal attack, not professional, because a pro assassin would do things as quickly & discreetly as possible. The killer here took so many shots to ensure she was dead, and often overkill is associated with personal attacks.
Exactly
I recently found your videos and I’ve been binge watching ever since 💕
Your earrings always make me happy ,also just finished watching 😭😭😭this is so sad 😭
I’d be interested to know:
if anyone she worked with called out sick or no showed the same day.
if the previous residents had any criminal history. Sorry if I just missed it in the video but how long had the couple lived there before this happened?
how and when Sergio met the woman he since married.
If it was a random attack, I'm wondering where she placed her garage sale signs? Perhaps they were seen the night before. We always put ours out the night before our sale, and take them down afterwards. And I have actually been accosted before by places signs near someone's property. So many weirdos out there...so many possibilities. I hope her family is doing okay. What a terrible story.
nope she put them up the morning of
@@harleenhundal4338 well that debunks that. So sad. 🥺
I can't understand what is being said but the tone from the killer sounds like one of adamance and anger. She sounds in "that's not true" that she's trying to sound calm, to defuse, but also stay firm. This is someone who is angry and thinks that she has done something- whether they personally knew her or not. Gives me chills.
Bella, your voice helps my toddler and i fall asleep Lol thank you for uploading a new video 👍
Btw your hair looks super healthy!
Do they know for sure who's idea it was to have this particular outdoor garage sale in the first place? That could open up questions. Was it someone she knew who told her it would be a good idea? Her husband, her coworker, friend etc. It left her vulnerable and easy access.
This case just doesn’t sit right with me . It stands out to me somehow ? I think it’s also odd that Sergio started dating his new wife Amber Cheatham only 2 months after the murder and then were married a year after the murder . ALSO that fact that every other time she would advertise for garage sales but THIS TIME she did not , as it was a “last minute decision” the day before just makes me think that someone convinced her to do the garage sale last minute and it makes me think that they must have been waiting for the husband to leave -litterly 3 mins after the husband , the person came and shot her.
this case really hit home for me because me and my partner are also huge star wars fans, for those who don’t know the 501st was a legion that Anakin Skywalker (Darth Vader) commanded during the clone wars and is honestly so iconic for star wars fans. this whole case really hit me and i’m so puzzled as to why someone would want Elizabeth dead. My heart goes our to her family and loved ones, I hope they’re able to crack this one soon💔
Hi Bella! I think it would be a super interesting youtube video to hear you talk about your research process for cases x
