It's been nearly three months since fitness instructor Missy Bevers was murdered at a Midlothian church.
The Bevers family is frustrated there's been no arrest, but Bevers' sister-in-law Kristi Stout says they're still hoping for justice.
"Oh, I thought they would have someone within the first week, at least it's um it's hard to believe that this much time has passed," said Stout.
Eleven weeks after the murder, the Bevers family still seeks answers.
"Nothing about this makes sense," said Stout. "Whoever did it spent a lot of time in the building, didn't take anything, but took a life."
Stout says as time passes, her theories as to what led to Missy's death change.
"In the beginning, I thought that that she was set up or framed, as time goes on I feel like maybe this was just wrong place, wrong time," she said.

Despite surveillance video from the morning of the crime, her killer still walks free. Stout says she's watched the video countless times.
"In my mind it's a monster. Just like when you're a little kid, it's a monster and I want to see that monster out of his costume," Stout said.
Stout believes the killer will be caught, until then, she says people are unfairly pointing fingers at her family.
"It's horrible. That ya know, you're scared enough, as it is you're distraught over what's happened but you've got people blaming your family," she said.
Police have said family and friends are not suspects, but Stout has a message for the killer.
"I wish they would come forward and just get it off their back," said Stout. "Just have peace, let us have peace, let Missy's family have peace."
