1
00:00:04,467 --> 00:00:07,467
The victim sustained
significant head trauma.
2
00:00:07,467 --> 00:00:10,400
Her hair is basically
caked in blood.
3
00:00:10,467 --> 00:00:11,900
This is a very violent murder.
4
00:00:12,567 --> 00:00:14,567
It shocked everybody.
5
00:00:14,567 --> 00:00:18,767
She was a very successful
doctor, with a husband,
with children.
6
00:00:18,767 --> 00:00:21,100
What happened? Who did it?
7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,634
Who would wanna harm her?
8
00:00:23,634 --> 00:00:26,867
[Cpt. David Lebid] We find out
that our victim
has a darker side.
9
00:00:26,867 --> 00:00:29,467
An employee has been fired.
10
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,000
[Lebid] He has a significant
criminal history.
11
00:00:34,066 --> 00:00:35,667
[Lt. Michael Downs]
The victim's husband
12
00:00:35,667 --> 00:00:39,100
would bring
some extra partners
into the relationship.
13
00:00:39,166 --> 00:00:43,867
Are one of these
sexual partners
jealous of the victim?
14
00:00:43,867 --> 00:00:47,867
This is one of
the most horrific crimes
I've ever worked.
15
00:00:47,867 --> 00:00:52,567
{\an8}[narrator] Every day
in North America, dozens
of people are murdered.
16
00:00:52,567 --> 00:00:55,000
{\an8}The key to solving
the toughest
of these homicides
17
00:00:55,066 --> 00:00:58,900
{\an8}lies in the final 24 hours
of the victim's life.
18
00:00:58,967 --> 00:01:00,000
{\an8}To crack the case, detectives
must reconstruct
that critical timeline,

{\an8}To crack the case, detectives
must reconstruct
that critical timeline,

00:01:03,867 --> 00:01:06,800
{\an8}the minutes and hours
containing evidence
21
00:01:06,867 --> 00:01:10,467
{\an8}that can help unlock
the mystery
and catch the killer.
22
00:01:18,867 --> 00:01:20,867
{\an8}[seagulls squawking]
23
00:01:20,867 --> 00:01:24,166
{\an8}[narrator] Bonita Springs
is a peaceful
beachfront community
24
00:01:24,166 --> 00:01:27,000
{\an8}located in the Southwest
of sunny Florida.

Fort Myers and Naples.
27
00:01:31,467 --> 00:01:33,867
{\an8}Uh, it's right on
the Gulf of Mexico.
28
00:01:33,867 --> 00:01:38,567
{\an8}It's this beautiful, quiet,
peaceful place.

00:01:38,567 --> 00:01:42,600
{\an8}It's a paradise of palm trees,
beautiful beaches.

00:01:42,667 --> 00:01:45,900
{\an8}It's a retirement area.
It's a vacation area.
31
00:01:45,967 --> 00:01:49,667
{\an8}It's someplace where
you wanna go when you
feel safe with your family.
32
00:01:49,667 --> 00:01:53,767
But in late June, 2015,
there's a discovery of, uh,
33
00:01:53,767 --> 00:01:55,500
of a local person
who's been murdered.
34
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,700
We received a phone call
through 911 dispatch.
35
00:02:07,767 --> 00:02:11,266
And he sounded very scared.
He sounded upset.
36
00:02:13,767 --> 00:02:17,567
-[narrator] Sheriff's deputies
respond to the call.
-[sirens blaring]
37
00:02:17,567 --> 00:02:20,867
Lieutenant Michael Downs
is in charge
of the investigation.
38
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,300
[Downs] When I arrive
on the crime scene,
39
00:02:24,367 --> 00:02:27,467
as I enter the residence,
enter the kitchen,
I look to my left,
40
00:02:27,467 --> 00:02:30,000
and in-between
the refrigerator
and the island cabinets,
41
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000
and in-between
the refrigerator
and the island cabinets,
42
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:35,400
I can see the noticeably
deceased remains
of our victim.
43
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:41,600
There appears to be
a small folding wallet
laying on the floor.
44
00:02:43,667 --> 00:02:47,867
[narrator] The victim
is 46-year-old
Dr. Teresa Sievers.
45
00:02:47,867 --> 00:02:52,900
She was the mother
of two young girls,
and married to Mark Sievers.
46
00:02:52,967 --> 00:02:56,867
Dr. Sievers was well known
in her respective field
of holistic medicine.
47
00:02:56,867 --> 00:02:59,367
There were lots of, of
articles about her,
48
00:02:59,367 --> 00:03:00,000
with her picture, like,
on the cover of magazines.
49
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
with her picture, like,
on the cover of magazines.
50
00:03:02,567 --> 00:03:05,667
She was on her way to having
her own TV show.
51
00:03:05,667 --> 00:03:08,166
[Lebid] She, very personable,
very, very attractive.
52
00:03:08,166 --> 00:03:13,800
She wanted to help everyone,
and truly, was loved
by the community.
53
00:03:13,867 --> 00:03:16,867
This is a murder
of a very prominent person.
54
00:03:19,767 --> 00:03:23,000
When I'm looking
at the victim, I could see
a large amount of blood.
55
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,200
Her, her hair is, is basically
caked in blood.
56
00:03:26,266 --> 00:03:30,000
So I would assume the victim's
sustained significant
head trauma.
57
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
So I would assume the victim's
sustained significant
head trauma.
58
00:03:31,266 --> 00:03:35,567
And in the kitchen, I could
see immediately on the floor
a bloody hammer.
59
00:03:35,567 --> 00:03:38,266
Uh, I can see that there's
hair wrapped around
the hammer,
60
00:03:38,266 --> 00:03:40,000
and, uh, evidence of blood.
61
00:03:41,967 --> 00:03:45,266
[narrator] Captain David Lebid
also joins
the high-profile case.
62
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:48,367
{\an8}The way it appeared to me
63
00:03:48,367 --> 00:03:53,266
{\an8}is that the killer repeatedly
hit her in the head with a
hammer until she was dead.
64
00:03:54,667 --> 00:03:56,667
This is a very brutal murder.
65
00:03:56,667 --> 00:03:59,266
Why would somebody do this?
66
00:03:59,266 --> 00:04:00,000
[narrator]
To determine the motive,
67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:00,734
[narrator]
To determine the motive,
68
00:04:00,734 --> 00:04:01,000
investigators
take a closer look
at the home itself.
69
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,867
As I'm looking at the scene,
there's a couple things
that are unique.
70
00:04:07,867 --> 00:04:12,667
Namely, I'm looking at
the side garage door, and
there's pry marks on the door.
71
00:04:12,667 --> 00:04:17,166
It's a possibility
that the perpetrator
or perpetrators
72
00:04:17,166 --> 00:04:18,867
may have entered
through the garage.
73
00:04:23,166 --> 00:04:26,200
It made me think that this
could have been a robbery
that went wrong.
74
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,000
Maybe somebody
broke into the house,
75
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:30,166
Maybe somebody
broke into the house,
76
00:04:30,166 --> 00:04:31,000
uh, maybe the victim came home
early, interrupted them.
77
00:04:33,767 --> 00:04:36,800
[hammer thuds]
78
00:04:36,867 --> 00:04:41,600
[narrator] Captain Lebid looks
for additional evidence that
might support that theory.
79
00:04:41,667 --> 00:04:45,000
I started to work my way
through the garage,
80
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,967
and I noticed that there was
luggage that was left behind
81
00:04:47,967 --> 00:04:50,066
that appeared to be
from the victim.
82
00:04:50,066 --> 00:04:53,000
And then, I saw
her purse nearby,
83
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,700
but nothing seemed to be
obviously missing.
84
00:04:56,767 --> 00:04:59,667
[narrator] Even Teresa's
wallet was left
in her kitchen.
85
00:04:59,667 --> 00:05:00,000
The folding wallet
on the floor is placed
a little bit too perfectly.
86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
The folding wallet
on the floor is placed
a little bit too perfectly.
87
00:05:05,867 --> 00:05:09,667
Uh, looking at the cards,
they appear to be thumbed up
instead of pulled out.
88
00:05:09,667 --> 00:05:11,700
So the house is in disarray,
89
00:05:11,767 --> 00:05:15,066
but not a house that has
recently been ransacked,
90
00:05:15,066 --> 00:05:20,100
or something consistent with,
uh, what we would call
a routine burglary.
91
00:05:20,166 --> 00:05:24,867
[narrator] Detectives also
find many untouched valuables
in Teresa Sievers' home,
92
00:05:24,867 --> 00:05:30,000
including firearms,
ammunition, and over
$40,000 cash in a safe.
93
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000
including firearms,
ammunition, and over
$40,000 cash in a safe.
94
00:05:31,867 --> 00:05:37,767
So it made me wonder, is this
staged to look like a robbery
that went wrong?
95
00:05:37,767 --> 00:05:40,367
Because if somebody really
wanted to take property,
96
00:05:40,367 --> 00:05:42,000
there'd be things
that are missing.
97
00:05:42,066 --> 00:05:44,467
This could be a planned,
coordinated attack.
98
00:05:46,567 --> 00:05:49,166
[narrator] While it's still
unclear why Teresa was killed,
99
00:05:49,166 --> 00:05:52,867
investigators believe
they know how it happened.
100
00:05:52,867 --> 00:05:56,467
[Downs] The victim had started
removing luggage
from the vehicle.
101
00:05:56,467 --> 00:05:57,967
She leaves her luggage
in the garage.
102
00:05:59,700 --> 00:06:00,000
The altercation definitely
happened within the kitchen.
103
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,000
The altercation definitely
happened within the kitchen.
104
00:06:03,266 --> 00:06:07,266
The attacker moved in
on her very quickly.
105
00:06:07,266 --> 00:06:12,266
And then according to the
medical examiner, the victim
was struck at least 17 times.
106
00:06:13,867 --> 00:06:16,367
{\an8}It raises many questions
for investigators.
107
00:06:17,367 --> 00:06:20,166
{\an8}Why use this amount
of excessive force?
108
00:06:20,166 --> 00:06:24,000
{\an8}And the extremism
seen in the nature
of the bludgeoning
109
00:06:24,066 --> 00:06:27,166
{\an8}tells us a lot about
the type of offender
we're dealing with.
110
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,000
The injury to the victim
was so significant,
111
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:31,000
The injury to the victim
was so significant,
112
00:06:33,467 --> 00:06:36,367
it appeared there was
something more behind it.
113
00:06:36,367 --> 00:06:39,567
Some kind of emotion
or some kind of drive
to make sure,
114
00:06:39,567 --> 00:06:41,667
yes, she is absolutely dead.
115
00:06:43,667 --> 00:06:45,467
So, who did it?
116
00:06:48,700 --> 00:06:55,000
We're trying to find any kind
of evidence that could help
explain who did this to her.
117
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,767
[Downs] We're collecting DNA.
We're looking for fibers.
118
00:06:57,767 --> 00:07:00,000
Um, especially on, uh,
on the victim's body
and clothing
119
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Um, especially on, uh,
on the victim's body
and clothing
120
00:07:01,567 --> 00:07:05,200
that may have come
from clothing that the killer
may have been wearing.
121
00:07:06,266 --> 00:07:09,066
[Lebid] In addition,
we collected the hammer,
122
00:07:09,066 --> 00:07:12,500
because we're gonna
evaluate it for any kind of
latent fingerprints
123
00:07:12,567 --> 00:07:15,367
that could maybe identify
who held it.
124
00:07:15,367 --> 00:07:19,066
[narrator] Detectives notify
the victim's husband,
Mark Sievers,
125
00:07:19,066 --> 00:07:21,367
that his wife
has been murdered.
126
00:07:21,367 --> 00:07:24,800
[Downs] When we first
spoke to Mark Sievers,
he was out of state.
127
00:07:24,867 --> 00:07:29,000
So we have to wait for him
to fly back into town.
128
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,000
[narrator] Mark was 1,300
miles North in Connecticut,
visiting family.
129
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
[narrator] Mark was 1,300
miles North in Connecticut,
visiting family.
130
00:07:33,767 --> 00:07:35,333
Teresa had been with him.
131
00:07:35,333 --> 00:07:39,300
But she had returned
to Florida the day
before she was murdered.
132
00:07:39,367 --> 00:07:42,567
He was very upset, like almost
anybody would be
133
00:07:42,567 --> 00:07:46,367
when they find out the news
that their, their spouse
has been killed.
134
00:07:46,367 --> 00:07:48,700
He wanted to know
what happened.
135
00:07:48,767 --> 00:07:51,800
And we couldn't answer
a lot of his questions,
136
00:07:51,867 --> 00:07:54,900
because we still didn't have
a good timeline.
137
00:07:54,967 --> 00:07:58,200
{\an8}[narrator] To find the killer,
detectives
need to piece together
138
00:07:58,266 --> 00:08:00,000
{\an8}the last 24 hours
of the victim's life.
139
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,000
{\an8}the last 24 hours
of the victim's life.
140
00:08:03,667 --> 00:08:05,400
{\an8}[Lebid] Her husband, Mark,
said to me
141
00:08:05,467 --> 00:08:10,100
{\an8}she came back
to Bonita Springs, Florida,
the night before,
142
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:13,400
{\an8}in the late evening time,
somewhere around 11:00.
143
00:08:14,367 --> 00:08:16,300
She came back
without her family,
144
00:08:16,367 --> 00:08:18,767
because she was
very dedicated to her job,
145
00:08:18,767 --> 00:08:22,000
and knew she had to be up
bright and early Monday
morning to see her patients.
146
00:08:23,667 --> 00:08:26,567
[Downs] Mark Sievers tells us
that the victim text him,
147
00:08:26,567 --> 00:08:30,000
uh, shortly after landing
to let him know
that she had landed safely
148
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,000
uh, shortly after landing
to let him know
that she had landed safely
149
00:08:31,967 --> 00:08:34,400
and was continuing home.
150
00:08:34,467 --> 00:08:37,467
And that occurred, uh,
at approximately 10:53 PM.
151
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,266
{\an8}Based on the timeline
that we're starting
to build now,
152
00:08:41,266 --> 00:08:45,066
{\an8}we can say that his wife
was murdered somewhere
in between
153
00:08:45,066 --> 00:08:49,266
{\an8}June 28
in the late night hours
154
00:08:49,266 --> 00:08:53,100
{\an8}to June 29 before 9:00 AM.
155
00:08:53,166 --> 00:08:57,567
And we know this because we
received the 911 call
at approximately 9:30.
156
00:08:57,567 --> 00:09:00,000
[narrator] A call made
by Dr. Sievers' neighbor,
Dr. Petrities.

00:09:02,266 --> 00:09:04,000
[Lebid] Teresa's husband Mark
159
00:09:04,066 --> 00:09:06,266
was worried about his wife
not showing up for work,
160
00:09:06,266 --> 00:09:07,867
and wasn't
answering her phone.
161
00:09:07,867 --> 00:09:09,567
And that was not like her.
162
00:09:09,567 --> 00:09:14,600
So he asked Dr. Petrities
to please go by the house
to go check on her.
163
00:09:14,667 --> 00:09:17,266
We're very eager at this point
to speak to Mr. Petrities,
164
00:09:17,266 --> 00:09:20,300
because he just may be
able to shed
some kind of light on...
165
00:09:20,367 --> 00:09:23,667
Maybe he saw somebody leaving
the residence, maybe he saw
something suspicious.
166
00:09:28,567 --> 00:09:30,000
As we spoke
with Dr. Petrities,
167
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:30,567
As we spoke
with Dr. Petrities,
168
00:09:30,567 --> 00:09:31,000
it occurred to all of us
that this is one of our
best suspects right now.
169
00:09:36,066 --> 00:09:38,700
[Keira Stockdale]
And that could be
for a variety of reasons.
170
00:09:38,767 --> 00:09:43,667
Sometimes, the killer
is the person
who places the call to 911.
171
00:09:43,667 --> 00:09:46,700
Maybe they want
to insert themselves
into the investigation,
172
00:09:46,767 --> 00:09:48,467
to try and control
the narrative,
173
00:09:48,467 --> 00:09:50,967
or control the information
to protect themselves,
174
00:09:50,967 --> 00:09:53,467
and conceal their identity
as the killer.
175
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,767
[Downs] But the question is,
if he is our suspect...
176
00:09:58,467 --> 00:09:59,867
...why did he do this?
177
00:10:00,567 --> 00:10:01,000
[hammer strikes repeatedly]
178
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:03,934
What is his motivation?
179
00:10:07,567 --> 00:10:09,066
[narrator] Sheriff's
investigators in Lee County,
Florida
180
00:10:09,066 --> 00:10:11,367
suspect that the neighbor,
Dr. Mark Petrities,
181
00:10:11,367 --> 00:10:14,166
could be
Dr. Teresa Sievers' killer.
182
00:10:14,166 --> 00:10:18,500
{\an8}Dr. Petrities is a,
a close friend of the victim.
183
00:10:18,567 --> 00:10:24,200
{\an8}And it's not unheard of
when a suspect who actually
does kill someone
184
00:10:24,266 --> 00:10:27,400
{\an8}takes the time to call 911
to report it to the police,
185
00:10:27,467 --> 00:10:30,266
{\an8}because they think
they're clever enough
to get away with it.
186
00:10:30,266 --> 00:10:34,467
{\an8}[Sheriff Carmine Marceno] So,
very quickly, my detectives
immediately interview him.
187
00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:35,646
{\an8}He was completely compliant.
188
00:10:35,646 --> 00:10:36,000
{\an8}He was completely compliant.
189
00:10:37,266 --> 00:10:39,100
{\an8}He tells us
everything that he knows.
190
00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:05,646
While we're speaking
with Dr. Petrities, uh,
he's visibly upset.
191
00:11:05,646 --> 00:11:06,000
While we're speaking
with Dr. Petrities, uh,
he's visibly upset.
192
00:11:09,567 --> 00:11:13,667
His voice is elevated.
He seems extremely concerned.
193
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:27,166
[narrator] To investigators,
Dr. Petrities' story
sounds plausible.
194
00:11:27,166 --> 00:11:31,166
[Downs] So, we're leaning
more towards him
being a witness
195
00:11:31,166 --> 00:11:33,667
than a suspect at this point
in the investigation.
196
00:11:33,734 --> 00:11:35,646
Does that necessarily
rule him out 100%? No.
197
00:11:35,646 --> 00:11:36,000
Does that necessarily
rule him out 100%? No.
198
00:11:37,734 --> 00:11:41,000
We're going to ask him
for DNA swabs
to check his clothing,
199
00:11:41,066 --> 00:11:43,834
to check his bod...
[stammering] for injuries
and things of that nature.
200
00:11:45,734 --> 00:11:51,000
But we're deciding that it's
now time to start focusing
in other avenues,
201
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,600
uh, of the investigation.
202
00:11:54,567 --> 00:11:58,000
{\an8}[narrator] News
of Dr. Teresa Sievers' murder
begins to spread
203
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,100
{\an8}throughout the close-knit
community of Bonita Springs.
204
00:12:01,100 --> 00:12:02,667
{\an8}[Mike Braun]
It shocked everybody.
205
00:12:02,667 --> 00:12:04,667
{\an8}They don't know what happened.
Nobody knows what happened.
206
00:12:04,667 --> 00:12:05,646
{\an8}So their imagination,
of course, is running wild.
207
00:12:05,646 --> 00:12:06,000
{\an8}So their imagination,
of course, is running wild.
208
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,667
{\an8}So there's an extreme pressure
on Lee County Sheriff's Office
to crack the case.
209
00:12:14,567 --> 00:12:18,000
My phone starts ringing
from all different people
in the community,
210
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,400
asking what's going on.
211
00:12:21,467 --> 00:12:25,000
But the truth is, I don't know
exactly what we're facing.
212
00:12:25,066 --> 00:12:29,367
But I know I have a killer
that's on the loose,
on the streets.
213
00:12:30,767 --> 00:12:33,900
[Lebid] The pressure
definitely increased.
214
00:12:33,967 --> 00:12:35,646
But we don't really have
a clue of who did this at all.
215
00:12:35,646 --> 00:12:36,000
But we don't really have
a clue of who did this at all.
216
00:12:38,834 --> 00:12:43,200
[narrator] For leads,
sheriff's investigators start
with Dr. Sievers' family.
217
00:12:43,266 --> 00:12:46,567
Her husband Mark
is flying back.
218
00:12:46,567 --> 00:12:49,567
So Teresa's sister Annie Lisa
offers to help.
219
00:13:00,066 --> 00:13:03,100
[narrator] Annie Lisa
isn't just Teresa's sister.
220
00:13:03,166 --> 00:13:05,600
She was also Teresa's
colleague at her clinic.
221
00:13:05,667 --> 00:13:06,000
She informs us about
the victim's medical practice,
222
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:12,266
and said that we may wanna
talk to a former employee
that works there
223
00:13:12,266 --> 00:13:14,000
who she identified
as Sandra.
224
00:13:25,667 --> 00:13:30,166
And we find out
that our victim has told
Sandra to find a new job.
225
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:50,367
That's definitely a red flag,
226
00:13:50,367 --> 00:13:53,300
because that could be
a potential reason
to murder somebody.
227
00:13:55,667 --> 00:14:00,834
{\an8}Disgruntled employees
frequently make for strong
initial persons of interest.
228
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,500
{\an8}[Stockdale] Maybe they feel
that they've been
treated unfairly.
229
00:14:05,567 --> 00:14:05,646
{\an8}Maybe they hold a grudge.
230
00:14:05,646 --> 00:14:06,000
{\an8}Maybe they hold a grudge.
231
00:14:07,066 --> 00:14:09,834
{\an8}And all of this
could potentially
lead to somebody
232
00:14:09,834 --> 00:14:12,867
{\an8}taking matters
into their own hands
to seek revenge.
233
00:14:12,867 --> 00:14:15,600
Now, this was significant
in the investigation.
234
00:14:15,667 --> 00:14:16,900
It could definitely
be something.
235
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:19,100
So we're definitely
gonna wanna speak with Sandra.
236
00:14:20,467 --> 00:14:23,467
[narrator] Sandra agrees
to come into
the Sheriff's office.
237
00:14:23,467 --> 00:14:26,967
She admits she didn't
get along with Dr. Sievers.
238
00:14:26,967 --> 00:14:30,166
[Downs] Sandra's saying that
the victim was sometimes
hard to work with,
239
00:14:30,166 --> 00:14:34,967
that the victim did have
what was described
as a strong personality.
240
00:14:34,967 --> 00:14:35,646
[Marceno] She was this
very dedicated woman,
241
00:14:35,646 --> 00:14:36,000
[Marceno] She was this
very dedicated woman,
242
00:14:37,667 --> 00:14:41,767
and her business
was very driven, very focused.
243
00:14:41,834 --> 00:14:43,367
[narrator] But Sandra
and her colleagues
244
00:14:43,367 --> 00:14:46,200
saw a different side
of Dr. Sievers in the office.
245
00:14:48,834 --> 00:14:53,000
Dr. Sievers had a reputation
in the office,
246
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,600
uh, as being somebody who
when things didn't go
quite her way,
247
00:14:57,667 --> 00:15:00,400
or if she was
in an irritable mood,
248
00:15:00,467 --> 00:15:03,867
she would lash out at, uh,
workers, at staff.
249
00:15:03,867 --> 00:15:05,646
And it was, it was something
that, uh, not anybody
outside the office knew about.
250
00:15:05,646 --> 00:15:06,000
And it was, it was something
that, uh, not anybody
outside the office knew about.
251
00:15:10,567 --> 00:15:13,066
[narrator] WHile Sandra
clashed with her boss at work,
252
00:15:13,066 --> 00:15:16,100
she says there's no way
she would have harmed
Dr. Sievers.
253
00:15:17,467 --> 00:15:20,600
Sandra didn't really hold
any ill will
towards the victim.
254
00:15:22,734 --> 00:15:26,066
{\an8}Sandra's telling us that she
couldn't have done anything
to the victim,
255
00:15:26,066 --> 00:15:28,266
{\an8}because she was home
during the time of
256
00:15:28,266 --> 00:15:30,900
{\an8}when we believe the offense
had occurred.
257
00:15:30,967 --> 00:15:33,367
{\an8}So now, our alert level
is starting to go down.
258
00:15:34,300 --> 00:15:35,646
[narrator] But not for long.
259
00:15:35,646 --> 00:15:36,000
[narrator] But not for long.
260
00:15:36,066 --> 00:15:39,767
Investigators discover
that Sandra was close
to another employee
261
00:15:39,834 --> 00:15:41,367
who had trouble
with Dr. Sievers:
262
00:15:42,300 --> 00:15:44,967
Sandra's own husband, Frank.
263
00:15:44,967 --> 00:15:47,467
[Braun] And we find out
that he was also fired
264
00:15:47,467 --> 00:15:50,000
shortly before
all this had occurred.
265
00:15:50,066 --> 00:15:54,100
Detectives had to wonder
if Frank, uh, the employee
that had been let go,
266
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:56,667
had a motive. Maybe he was
trying to seek revenge.
267
00:15:59,100 --> 00:16:00,867
[Marceno] We're looking at
the pieces of the puzzle.
268
00:16:02,567 --> 00:16:05,646
Is there a motive there
for him to kill our victim?
269
00:16:05,646 --> 00:16:06,000
Is there a motive there
for him to kill our victim?
270
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:10,367
[hammer strikes]
271
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,567
[multiple hammer strikes]
272
00:16:16,667 --> 00:16:18,266
[narrator] A day after
Dr. Teresa Sievers
273
00:16:18,266 --> 00:16:20,467
is bludgeoned to death
in her Florida home,
274
00:16:20,467 --> 00:16:23,100
Lee County Sheriff's
investigators turn their focus
275
00:16:23,166 --> 00:16:26,300
to one of the doctor's
ex-employees:
276
00:16:26,367 --> 00:16:29,734
her former assistant manager,
Frank.
277
00:16:29,734 --> 00:16:32,600
{\an8}Frank was working
for the victim's
medical practice
278
00:16:32,667 --> 00:16:36,100
{\an8}for approximately five years,
and was fired
279
00:16:36,100 --> 00:16:38,400
{\an8}shortly before the murder
that occurred.
280
00:16:38,467 --> 00:16:40,567
{\an8}So could this be the killer?
281
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,140
[Downs] Did you have
anything to do
with this victim's death?
282
00:16:45,140 --> 00:16:46,000
[Downs] Did you have
anything to do
with this victim's death?
283
00:16:46,166 --> 00:16:50,166
{\an8}Frank had an alibi, uh, saying
that, uh, he was home
with his wife...
284
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,667
{\an8}...at the time of the murder.
285
00:16:54,266 --> 00:16:57,967
[narrator] Frank also
corrects investigators
about something else.
286
00:16:57,967 --> 00:17:00,667
It wasn't Teresa Sievers
who fired him.
287
00:17:00,667 --> 00:17:02,867
It was her husband,
Mark Sievers.
288
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,600
We find out that Mark
told Frank that basically,
they needed somebody,
289
00:17:08,667 --> 00:17:12,266
uh, with a little bit more,
uh, experience medically.
290
00:17:12,266 --> 00:17:14,867
[narrator] But Frank knew
Mark's wife, Dr. Sievers,
291
00:17:14,934 --> 00:17:15,140
was really behind the firing.
292
00:17:15,140 --> 00:17:16,000
was really behind the firing.
293
00:17:16,934 --> 00:17:20,367
Nothing in that clinic
happened without
Teresa Sievers' say-so.
294
00:17:20,367 --> 00:17:22,600
[Downs] He's saying that
when dealing with the victim,
295
00:17:22,667 --> 00:17:25,066
it's either her way
or the highway.
296
00:17:25,066 --> 00:17:29,166
And Frank is telling us
that the victim
would constantly, uh,
297
00:17:29,166 --> 00:17:33,367
berate and belittle, er,
her husband, Mark Sievers.
298
00:17:33,367 --> 00:17:36,567
Not only personally,
but in front of other people.
299
00:17:38,367 --> 00:17:40,500
It was definitely a surprise.
300
00:17:40,567 --> 00:17:43,467
[narrator] Sheriff's
investigators press Frank
for more details
301
00:17:43,467 --> 00:17:45,140
on how Teresa Sievers
treated her husband.
302
00:17:45,140 --> 00:17:46,000
on how Teresa Sievers
treated her husband.
303
00:17:46,266 --> 00:17:50,667
Things would even get so petty
as, uh, Frank recalling, uh,
304
00:17:50,734 --> 00:17:54,767
one time where the victim
took issue with the way
Mark Sievers, uh,
305
00:17:54,834 --> 00:17:56,867
took the garbage out.
306
00:17:56,867 --> 00:18:01,467
So Frank is painting a picture
of, of what'd you call kind of
a darker side of the victim.
307
00:18:03,467 --> 00:18:08,400
{\an8}And you realize very quickly,
this marriage has its issues.
308
00:18:09,367 --> 00:18:11,934
{\an8}Their marriage has problems.
309
00:18:11,934 --> 00:18:15,140
[narrator] Investigators take
a closer look at Mark Sievers.
310
00:18:15,140 --> 00:18:15,734
[narrator] Investigators take
a closer look at Mark Sievers.
311
00:18:15,734 --> 00:18:16,000
We're gonna have to talk
to Mark Sievers
312
00:18:17,967 --> 00:18:20,867
about what this marriage
was actually like.
313
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:23,934
[narrator] Just back
from Connecticut, the widowed
husband and father
314
00:18:23,934 --> 00:18:26,100
appears distraught
to investigators.
315
00:18:30,934 --> 00:18:32,567
[Mark Sievers]
Good, good. Good.
316
00:18:32,567 --> 00:18:35,100
[Lebid] At this point
in the investigation,
he's not a suspect.
317
00:18:35,166 --> 00:18:37,367
[Braun] Mark's alibi is solid.
318
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:40,400
{\an8}He's in Connecticut
at the time
of Teresa's murder.
319
00:18:40,467 --> 00:18:42,767
[Lebid] One of the things
I asked Mark was,
320
00:18:42,767 --> 00:18:45,140
{\an8}how is your personal life
going with Teresa?
321
00:18:45,140 --> 00:18:45,166
{\an8}how is your personal life
going with Teresa?
322
00:18:46,367 --> 00:18:47,467
{\an8}Do you guys have problems?
323
00:18:56,467 --> 00:18:58,467
[Lebid] Mark's telling me
that sometimes
324
00:18:58,467 --> 00:19:02,166
he upsets the victim,
but everything's good.
325
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:05,567
And he was very upset.
326
00:19:05,567 --> 00:19:08,000
[narrator] Captain Lebid
steps out of the room
for a moment,
327
00:19:08,066 --> 00:19:10,367
but Mark Sievers
keeps on talking.
328
00:19:12,667 --> 00:19:15,140
[crying, hyperventilating]
329
00:19:15,140 --> 00:19:15,266
[crying, hyperventilating]
330
00:19:15,266 --> 00:19:16,000
Mark seemed to put on a show,
talking to Teresa,
apologizing,
331
00:19:20,567 --> 00:19:22,066
"If only I was home with you."
332
00:19:25,567 --> 00:19:28,266
"I could have prevented this."
Just very dramatic things.
333
00:19:33,667 --> 00:19:36,066
And I don't wanna diminish
how people grieve.
334
00:19:37,266 --> 00:19:39,667
It almost seemed like
a dinner theatre performance.
335
00:19:40,500 --> 00:19:42,467
[narrator]
The captain returns to ask
336
00:19:42,467 --> 00:19:45,140
what can be
a difficult question
for a recent widower:
337
00:19:45,140 --> 00:19:45,600
what can be
a difficult question
for a recent widower:
338
00:19:45,667 --> 00:19:46,000
Did he or Teresa
have any extramarital affairs?
339
00:19:49,834 --> 00:19:53,200
And Mark said to me,
"What do you mean
by extramarital?"
340
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,166
{\an8}[Lebid] No, you're... No, no,
no, you're trying... You're...
341
00:19:58,367 --> 00:19:59,367
{\an8}[Lebid]
That's what we're here for.
342
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:02,033
{\an8}[Mark Sievers]
Again, I can't...
343
00:20:02,033 --> 00:20:04,834
So, I could kind of tell
that Mark was playing
word games with me.
344
00:20:06,300 --> 00:20:09,767
So I asked Mark directly,
are you guys swingers?
345
00:20:12,467 --> 00:20:15,140
So Mark started
to tell me about how...
346
00:20:15,140 --> 00:20:15,467
So Mark started
to tell me about how...
347
00:20:15,467 --> 00:20:16,000
...they would bring
some extra partners into
their relationship sometimes.
348
00:20:21,467 --> 00:20:24,100
According to Mark,
and in addition to, um,
349
00:20:24,166 --> 00:20:27,567
them mutually bringing
another party
into the relationship,
350
00:20:27,567 --> 00:20:29,934
he would also have his own
351
00:20:29,934 --> 00:20:31,734
romantic relationships
with other women.
352
00:20:32,867 --> 00:20:34,834
And by his admission,
353
00:20:34,834 --> 00:20:38,567
would report these instances
back to Teresa later.
354
00:20:38,567 --> 00:20:40,400
[narrator] Any one of these
multiple lovers
355
00:20:40,467 --> 00:20:42,300
are potential suspects.
356
00:20:42,367 --> 00:20:44,467
So do one of these
sexual partners
357
00:20:44,467 --> 00:20:45,140
or somebody involved
in this romantic relationship,
358
00:20:45,140 --> 00:20:46,000
or somebody involved
in this romantic relationship,
359
00:20:47,066 --> 00:20:49,066
are they now jealous
of the victim?
360
00:20:51,367 --> 00:20:53,266
[Lebid] This could be a very
361
00:20:53,266 --> 00:20:55,367
explainable reason
why the homicide occurred.
362
00:20:58,467 --> 00:21:01,266
So this seemed to be
a viable lead to pursue.
363
00:21:02,500 --> 00:21:04,000
[narrator] Eager
for investigators
364
00:21:04,066 --> 00:21:06,734
to identify possible suspects
in his wife's murder,
365
00:21:06,734 --> 00:21:09,400
Mark hands them his phone.
366
00:21:09,467 --> 00:21:12,467
Looking at the contents
of Mark Sievers' phone
367
00:21:12,467 --> 00:21:15,140
there is potentially
multiple sexual partners,
368
00:21:15,140 --> 00:21:15,667
there is potentially
multiple sexual partners,
369
00:21:15,734 --> 00:21:16,000
and this basically
opens up the flood gates.
370
00:21:18,867 --> 00:21:21,934
We went from having
a very limited scope
371
00:21:21,934 --> 00:21:23,767
to a ton of information
to process.
372
00:21:25,567 --> 00:21:27,400
[narrator] But just as
sheriff's investigators
373
00:21:27,467 --> 00:21:29,734
begin sifting through
Mark's long list
374
00:21:29,734 --> 00:21:31,400
of lovers in Florida,
375
00:21:31,467 --> 00:21:33,867
the receive a random call
from a police chief
376
00:21:33,934 --> 00:21:37,266
1,100 miles north
in Mt. Vernon, Illinois.
377
00:21:37,266 --> 00:21:40,400
[Downs] And he tells us that
he has an acquaintance
378
00:21:40,467 --> 00:21:43,967
that, uh, thinks
she may have information
pertaining to this case.
379
00:21:45,066 --> 00:21:45,140
[narrator] Florida
investigators waste no time.
380
00:21:45,140 --> 00:21:46,000
[narrator] Florida
investigators waste no time.
381
00:21:47,467 --> 00:21:49,667
They fly north
for a face to face
382
00:21:49,734 --> 00:21:51,667
with a woman who claims
to know something.
383
00:21:52,467 --> 00:21:54,467
We meet with
our witness, Rose.
384
00:21:56,166 --> 00:21:57,166
Rose...
385
00:21:58,266 --> 00:21:59,467
...seemed very sincere,
386
00:22:00,266 --> 00:22:01,967
seemed like a very
honest person.
387
00:22:03,266 --> 00:22:07,100
But you can see
there is that little bit
of hesitation.
388
00:22:07,166 --> 00:22:10,266
She's not really sure
if she wants to speak with us.
389
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,066
There's a lot of fear.
390
00:22:13,066 --> 00:22:15,066
People may fear retaliation.
391
00:22:15,066 --> 00:22:15,140
If they come forward,
would they be next?
392
00:22:15,140 --> 00:22:16,000
If they come forward,
would they be next?
393
00:22:17,266 --> 00:22:19,100
Could they be victimized
in the same way?
394
00:22:20,100 --> 00:22:23,000
So it takes a big risk
and tremendous courage
395
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,834
often times in these cases
for someone to come forward.
396
00:22:27,100 --> 00:22:30,266
[Downs] It took a little bit
of reassurance,
397
00:22:30,266 --> 00:22:32,166
and like any
good person would do,
398
00:22:32,166 --> 00:22:35,567
Rose, uh, decided to
give us a statement.
399
00:22:35,567 --> 00:22:39,066
[Lebid] Rose tells us a story
about her friend, Angie.
400
00:22:39,066 --> 00:22:42,967
And Angie is extremely upset
because she's a newlywed,
401
00:22:42,967 --> 00:22:45,140
and within the first
two months of this
new marriage,
402
00:22:45,140 --> 00:22:46,000
and within the first
two months of this
new marriage,
403
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,834
her husband has to take
a last-minute trip to Florida,
404
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:52,367
and he won't let her
go along this trip.
405
00:22:52,367 --> 00:22:54,867
She can't even call him
because he left
his cell phone behind.
406
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:59,300
[narrator] Angie's husband
drove down at the end of June,
407
00:22:59,367 --> 00:23:02,867
the same timeframe in which
Dr. Sievers was murdered.
408
00:23:02,934 --> 00:23:04,867
But without a connection
to the victim,
409
00:23:04,934 --> 00:23:06,867
a coincidental trip
isn't enough
410
00:23:06,934 --> 00:23:08,667
to make Angie's husband
a suspect.
411
00:23:09,767 --> 00:23:12,567
So Rose says,
"Well, on top of that,
412
00:23:12,567 --> 00:23:14,567
he's close family friends
with your victim,
413
00:23:14,567 --> 00:23:15,140
Teresa."
414
00:23:15,140 --> 00:23:15,567
Teresa."
415
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:21,367
He actually helped set up
their IT network.
416
00:23:21,367 --> 00:23:23,066
for their business,
417
00:23:23,066 --> 00:23:25,734
and he's best friends
with your victim's husband.
418
00:23:27,734 --> 00:23:31,100
[narrator] The man's name
is Curtis Wayne Wright.
419
00:23:31,166 --> 00:23:35,200
He's an ex-con
living 40 minutes outside
of St. Louis, Missouri.
420
00:23:36,567 --> 00:23:41,367
Curtis Wayne Wright
has multiple prior cases
against him.
421
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:43,934
He's on probation.
422
00:23:45,066 --> 00:23:45,140
So now we have a guy
who's a suspect
423
00:23:45,140 --> 00:23:46,000
So now we have a guy
who's a suspect
424
00:23:48,066 --> 00:23:50,867
being in Florida
during the weekend
of the homicide.
425
00:23:51,867 --> 00:23:54,066
And he knew the victim.
426
00:23:54,066 --> 00:23:55,834
The pieces are starting
to fall into place.
427
00:24:01,166 --> 00:24:02,667
[narrator] 12 weeks
after the murder
428
00:24:02,734 --> 00:24:05,200
of Dr. Teresa Sievers
in Florida,
429
00:24:05,266 --> 00:24:07,033
Lee County
sheriff's investigators
430
00:24:07,033 --> 00:24:08,600
head to Hillsboro, Missouri
431
00:24:08,667 --> 00:24:10,667
in pursuit of
the prime suspect,
432
00:24:10,667 --> 00:24:11,934
Curtis Wayne Wright.
433
00:24:13,266 --> 00:24:16,166
{\an8}We immediately responded
to the area where
434
00:24:16,166 --> 00:24:19,066
{\an8}Curtis Wayne Wright
lives in Missouri
435
00:24:19,066 --> 00:24:20,967
and meet with
the local law enforcement
436
00:24:20,967 --> 00:24:25,166
to make a plan to go see
Mr. Wright in person.
437
00:24:25,166 --> 00:24:27,600
{\an8}We want to see
what Curtis Wright is about.
438
00:24:27,667 --> 00:24:29,100
{\an8}We want to know
what's in his house,
439
00:24:29,166 --> 00:24:29,896
and then we find out
that Curtis Wright
440
00:24:29,896 --> 00:24:30,000
and then we find out
that Curtis Wright
441
00:24:31,266 --> 00:24:33,767
may have a firearm
within his residence,
442
00:24:33,834 --> 00:24:37,367
and Curtis Wright
is not legally allowed
to own a firearm.
443
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:39,867
[narrator] Missouri
authorities obtain
444
00:24:39,867 --> 00:24:42,066
a search warrant
for Curtis Wright's residence.
445
00:24:42,066 --> 00:24:44,967
[Lebid] Because
he potentially may have
a firearm inside,
446
00:24:44,967 --> 00:24:48,166
we're using
a special operations SWAT team
447
00:24:48,166 --> 00:24:50,367
to make entry into this house.
448
00:24:50,367 --> 00:24:52,467
[narrator] The building
is secured without incident...
449
00:24:53,767 --> 00:24:56,100
...and Curtis Wayne Wright
is taken into custody
450
00:24:56,767 --> 00:24:57,967
wearing just his shorts.
451
00:24:59,467 --> 00:24:59,896
Lee County investigators
question him
452
00:24:59,896 --> 00:25:00,000
Lee County investigators
question him
453
00:25:01,567 --> 00:25:03,000
at the sheriff's office
in Missouri.
454
00:25:03,867 --> 00:25:06,367
If Curtis did kill
his former boss,
455
00:25:06,367 --> 00:25:08,867
law enforcement will need
more than suspicion
456
00:25:08,867 --> 00:25:10,266
to charge him.
457
00:25:10,266 --> 00:25:11,867
{\an8}Police may be looking to see
458
00:25:11,867 --> 00:25:13,767
{\an8}how does he respond
to questions?
459
00:25:13,834 --> 00:25:15,767
What's his body language,
460
00:25:15,834 --> 00:25:18,367
and is he capable
of this type of crime?
461
00:25:24,066 --> 00:25:26,033
[Lebid] As I'm speaking
with Curtis Wayne Wright,
462
00:25:26,033 --> 00:25:27,367
he's being very
cooperative with me,
463
00:25:27,367 --> 00:25:29,734
he's telling me a lot
about his life,
464
00:25:29,734 --> 00:25:29,896
and his history
of how he knows
Mark Sievers.
465
00:25:29,896 --> 00:25:30,000
and his history
of how he knows
Mark Sievers.
466
00:25:32,734 --> 00:25:34,400
His friendship
with Mark Sievers
467
00:25:34,467 --> 00:25:36,066
goes back to middle school.
468
00:25:48,467 --> 00:25:50,400
[Downs] And Curtis
tells us he does have
469
00:25:50,467 --> 00:25:53,834
a very close relationship
with our victim,
470
00:25:53,834 --> 00:25:55,934
and then he also tells us
that he does work on
471
00:25:55,934 --> 00:25:58,166
the medical practice's
computers.
472
00:25:58,166 --> 00:25:59,896
[narrator] Captain Lebid
asks Curtis
473
00:25:59,896 --> 00:26:00,000
[narrator] Captain Lebid
asks Curtis
474
00:26:00,066 --> 00:26:02,300
if he was yet another
disgruntled employee
475
00:26:02,367 --> 00:26:03,767
at Teresa Sievers' clinic.
476
00:26:10,867 --> 00:26:14,000
Curtis tells us he had
no issue with the victim,
477
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,100
uh, whether it was
professional or personal.
478
00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:18,767
He said everything was fine,
479
00:26:18,767 --> 00:26:21,600
and really didn't give
any indication that
he would want to hurt her.
480
00:26:21,667 --> 00:26:23,467
[narrator] But as
the interview continues,
481
00:26:23,467 --> 00:26:26,266
and Captain Lebid
gathers more background,
482
00:26:26,266 --> 00:26:28,934
He's struck by
something peculiar.
483
00:26:28,934 --> 00:26:29,896
[Lebid] I realized that
his physical appearance
484
00:26:29,896 --> 00:26:30,000
[Lebid] I realized that
his physical appearance
485
00:26:31,467 --> 00:26:33,000
is similar to Mark Sievers.
486
00:26:33,967 --> 00:26:36,600
[Marceno] They look
almost identical.
487
00:26:36,667 --> 00:26:39,166
{\an8}They both wear
the same type of glasses,
488
00:26:39,834 --> 00:26:41,667
{\an8}they shave the same way with
489
00:26:42,467 --> 00:26:44,467
the mustache goatee.
490
00:26:44,467 --> 00:26:46,500
Identical appearance
to the point where
491
00:26:46,567 --> 00:26:48,066
when you see them in pictures,
492
00:26:48,066 --> 00:26:51,767
where Curtis Wayne Wright
and Mark Sievers
are at a wedding,
493
00:26:52,467 --> 00:26:53,600
you can't tell them apart.
494
00:26:56,100 --> 00:26:59,367
We're thinking to ourselves,
well, this is interesting.
495
00:26:59,367 --> 00:26:59,896
[narrator] It's more
than just interesting.
496
00:26:59,896 --> 00:27:00,000
[narrator] It's more
than just interesting.
497
00:27:01,767 --> 00:27:04,066
Given the suspect's
identical look
498
00:27:04,066 --> 00:27:05,367
to the victim's husband,
499
00:27:05,367 --> 00:27:08,100
investigators now wonder
if Curtis Wayne Wright
500
00:27:08,100 --> 00:27:10,934
was more than just an employee
to the swinging couple.
501
00:27:19,767 --> 00:27:21,734
But he doesn't give
any kind of indication
502
00:27:21,734 --> 00:27:23,667
of any kind of
romantic relationship
503
00:27:23,667 --> 00:27:25,300
or anything like that
with our victim.
504
00:27:25,367 --> 00:27:29,367
He basically laid it out
to just a very close
family friend.
505
00:27:29,367 --> 00:27:29,896
[narrator] But if Curtis
didn't harm Dr. Sievers
as he claims,
506
00:27:29,896 --> 00:27:30,000
[narrator] But if Curtis
didn't harm Dr. Sievers
as he claims,
507
00:27:32,667 --> 00:27:35,066
then where did he go
for the three days
508
00:27:35,066 --> 00:27:36,734
he left from his home
in Missouri.
509
00:27:37,867 --> 00:27:40,734
We're asking him,
"Did you go to Florida
510
00:27:40,734 --> 00:27:41,867
during these dates,
511
00:27:41,867 --> 00:27:45,967
from the 27th
to the 29th of June in 2015?"
512
00:27:49,767 --> 00:27:52,767
{\an8}Curtis told the detectives
he was not in Florida
513
00:27:52,767 --> 00:27:54,967
{\an8}at the time
of Teresa's murder.
514
00:27:54,967 --> 00:27:58,767
{\an8}[Downs] He said he has
a slew of medical issues,
and that he was home.
515
00:27:58,834 --> 00:27:59,896
{\an8}He had not even
been down to Florida
516
00:27:59,896 --> 00:28:00,000
{\an8}He had not even
been down to Florida
517
00:28:00,834 --> 00:28:03,567
for approximately
a year and a half.
518
00:28:03,567 --> 00:28:05,567
[narrator] If his story
is true, it will mean
519
00:28:05,567 --> 00:28:07,667
another dead end
in the investigation.
520
00:28:08,967 --> 00:28:10,600
[Downs] So now
we need to think
to ourselves...
521
00:28:11,767 --> 00:28:13,667
"Is Curtis lying to us,
522
00:28:14,667 --> 00:28:17,767
or is Rose either lying to us
523
00:28:17,767 --> 00:28:21,767
or not 100% sure
about what she told us?"
524
00:28:22,934 --> 00:28:24,567
[narrator] Investigators
find the answer
525
00:28:24,567 --> 00:28:27,100
from Curtis's own
mother-in-law.
526
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:29,896
And her proof is sitting
right in Curtis' driveway.
527
00:28:29,896 --> 00:28:30,000
And her proof is sitting
right in Curtis' driveway.
528
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,767
[Downs] She tells us
something very interesting.
529
00:28:32,834 --> 00:28:36,467
{\an8}Curtis Wright
rented a vehicle on June 26th,
530
00:28:36,467 --> 00:28:39,567
{\an8}went to Florida and returned
on June 29th.
531
00:28:39,567 --> 00:28:42,667
{\an8}Our victim was murdered
during that timeframe.
532
00:28:43,967 --> 00:28:45,667
And for us, this is a win
533
00:28:45,667 --> 00:28:48,166
because now we have
somebody firsthand
534
00:28:48,166 --> 00:28:51,166
who says, "Yes, this man
definitely went to Florida
535
00:28:51,166 --> 00:28:53,467
around the time
of the murder."
536
00:28:53,467 --> 00:28:56,734
So it gives us
a little bit more of a push,
537
00:28:56,734 --> 00:28:59,300
uh, to try and collect
further evidence
against Curtis Wright.
538
00:29:00,367 --> 00:29:01,734
[narrator] To confirm
whether or not
539
00:29:01,734 --> 00:29:03,967
Curtis drove
this vehicle to Florida,
540
00:29:03,967 --> 00:29:06,467
investigators need
to look inside,
541
00:29:06,467 --> 00:29:08,867
especially at the odometer.
542
00:29:08,867 --> 00:29:11,767
[Lebid] We obtained
a warrant for the vehicle
543
00:29:11,834 --> 00:29:14,734
and ended up
searching that car.
544
00:29:14,734 --> 00:29:19,367
In that car, very notably,
was a Garmin GPS.
545
00:29:19,367 --> 00:29:21,867
[narrator] While there
aren't enough miles
on the cars odometer
546
00:29:21,867 --> 00:29:23,567
for a trip to Florida
and back...
547
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:26,767
...Curtis' personal Garmin
548
00:29:26,834 --> 00:29:28,600
could hold the key
to his whereabouts
549
00:29:28,667 --> 00:29:29,896
on the weekend
Dr. Sievers was murdered.
550
00:29:29,896 --> 00:29:30,000
on the weekend
Dr. Sievers was murdered.
551
00:29:31,266 --> 00:29:33,834
We were really hopeful that
it was gonna give us evidence
552
00:29:33,834 --> 00:29:35,567
that would further
explain this case.
553
00:29:38,934 --> 00:29:40,867
When we look at the GPS,
554
00:29:40,867 --> 00:29:42,033
everything's erased.
555
00:29:43,834 --> 00:29:46,734
Even though we didn't find
anything initially on the GPS,
556
00:29:46,734 --> 00:29:50,300
we were still hopeful
that some of our digital
forensics personnel
557
00:29:50,367 --> 00:29:52,100
would be able to
558
00:29:52,166 --> 00:29:55,200
find something
on the device that wasn't
readily accessible.
559
00:29:56,100 --> 00:29:57,500
[narrator] While
forensic technicians
560
00:29:57,567 --> 00:29:59,896
attempt to recover
Curtis' Garmin GPS data,
561
00:29:59,896 --> 00:30:00,000
attempt to recover
Curtis' Garmin GPS data,
562
00:30:00,567 --> 00:30:03,934
investigators
uncover something
they didn't anticipate.
563
00:30:04,867 --> 00:30:07,266
As we're evaluating
the records for this car
564
00:30:07,266 --> 00:30:10,967
that we seized in the driveway
for Curtis Wayne Wright,
565
00:30:10,967 --> 00:30:13,667
we found that there was also
another car rented by him,
566
00:30:13,734 --> 00:30:15,200
just before the homicide.
567
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,467
There was not
one rental car, but two.
568
00:30:19,467 --> 00:30:21,667
[narrator] Investigators
aren't sure what it means
569
00:30:22,266 --> 00:30:24,300
if anything.
570
00:30:24,367 --> 00:30:27,500
Luckily for us, we're able
to track this vehicle down,
571
00:30:27,567 --> 00:30:29,000
and, uh, we want to look
at the mileage
572
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:29,896
'cause we want to see
how far he traveled.
573
00:30:29,896 --> 00:30:30,000
'cause we want to see
how far he traveled.
574
00:30:33,033 --> 00:30:36,467
Looking at the odometer usage
on this rental vehicle,
575
00:30:36,467 --> 00:30:41,567
we learned that Curtis Wright
traveled a total
of 2,703 miles,
576
00:30:41,567 --> 00:30:46,200
which was consistent
with a trip from his house
in Hillsboro, Missouri
577
00:30:46,266 --> 00:30:48,066
down to
Bonita Springs, Florida,
578
00:30:48,066 --> 00:30:49,367
which is our murder scene,
579
00:30:49,367 --> 00:30:53,266
and then back to his hometown
in Hillsboro, Missouri.
580
00:30:53,266 --> 00:30:55,867
[narrator] The rental car's
mileage is strong evidence,
581
00:30:55,934 --> 00:30:58,066
but not nearly enough
to press charges.
582
00:30:59,100 --> 00:30:59,896
It's not a smoking gun
because now
583
00:30:59,896 --> 00:31:00,000
It's not a smoking gun
because now
584
00:31:01,166 --> 00:31:03,100
we know he put
the mileage on the car,
585
00:31:03,166 --> 00:31:04,266
but we don't know
where he went
586
00:31:06,467 --> 00:31:08,033
[narrator] Investigators
catch a break
587
00:31:08,033 --> 00:31:11,667
when technicians examining
Curtis Wayne Wright's
Garmin GPS
588
00:31:11,734 --> 00:31:13,300
recover erased data.
589
00:31:14,834 --> 00:31:17,767
It shows the exact route
Curtis drove to Florida
590
00:31:17,834 --> 00:31:19,266
in his second rental car.
591
00:31:20,767 --> 00:31:22,734
[Downs] When we're looking
at this GPS data,
592
00:31:22,734 --> 00:31:24,367
we can see that
593
00:31:24,367 --> 00:31:28,100
Curtis Wright actually
typed in the victim's address
594
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:29,896
in Bonita Springs, Florida.
595
00:31:29,896 --> 00:31:30,000
in Bonita Springs, Florida.
596
00:31:30,367 --> 00:31:34,367
And we know this GPS
started to follow that route.
597
00:31:34,367 --> 00:31:36,967
[narrator] Captain Lebid
now knows Curtis Wayne Wright
598
00:31:36,967 --> 00:31:38,000
has been lying to him.
599
00:31:40,266 --> 00:31:42,600
{\an8}He had been in Florida
600
00:31:42,667 --> 00:31:45,066
around the time
of Teresa's murder.
601
00:31:45,166 --> 00:31:48,367
[narrator] Curtis Wayne Wright
had the opportunity
to kill his former boss.
602
00:31:49,367 --> 00:31:51,600
But another question remains,
603
00:31:51,667 --> 00:31:53,834
what motivation
might he have had
to kill her?
604
00:31:59,367 --> 00:32:01,867
[narrator] Curtis Wayne Wright
is the prime suspect
605
00:32:01,934 --> 00:32:03,867
in the murder of his
former employer,
606
00:32:03,934 --> 00:32:06,266
Dr. Teresa Sievers.
607
00:32:06,266 --> 00:32:10,567
Curtis' Garmin GPS places him
at Dr. Sievers' Florida home
608
00:32:10,567 --> 00:32:11,667
on the day of the murder.
609
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,567
Then investigators find
another surprise
610
00:32:15,567 --> 00:32:17,367
saved inside his Garmin.
611
00:32:17,367 --> 00:32:20,066
[Lebid] A personal
email address was used
612
00:32:20,066 --> 00:32:21,266
to log into it.
613
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,266
{\an8}Fortunately for us,
614
00:32:23,266 --> 00:32:24,600
{\an8}that personal address
615
00:32:24,667 --> 00:32:27,266
{\an8}actually was a person's
real name.
616
00:32:27,266 --> 00:32:27,957
[narrator] An unknown man,
named Jimmy Rodgers.
617
00:32:27,957 --> 00:32:28,000
[narrator] An unknown man,
named Jimmy Rodgers.
618
00:32:30,567 --> 00:32:32,266
{\an8}They find out
that Jimmy Ray Rodgers
619
00:32:32,834 --> 00:32:33,834
{\an8}was a convicted felon.
620
00:32:35,467 --> 00:32:37,300
He had been in federal prison
621
00:32:38,066 --> 00:32:39,200
for guns.
622
00:32:39,266 --> 00:32:41,000
He actually met
Curtis Wayne Wright
623
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,867
while they were
both at the same
federal detention facility.
624
00:32:45,567 --> 00:32:47,233
Curtis Wayne Wright
says to me,
625
00:32:47,233 --> 00:32:50,667
"Jimmy Rodgers
frequently referred to himself
as Jimmy the Hammer."
626
00:32:59,300 --> 00:33:00,600
{\an8}That's interesting to us
627
00:33:00,667 --> 00:33:03,467
{\an8}because Teresa
was murdered with a hammer.
628
00:33:06,967 --> 00:33:08,834
We're thinking
that Jimmy Rodgers
629
00:33:08,834 --> 00:33:10,567
is now a potential player
630
00:33:10,567 --> 00:33:13,033
in helping Wayne
facilitate this murder.
631
00:33:17,667 --> 00:33:20,300
[narrator] Investigators
are able to track down
Jimmy Rodgers,
632
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:23,600
and they bring him in
for questioning.
633
00:33:23,667 --> 00:33:25,166
[Downs] We speak
to Jimmy Ray Rodgers,
634
00:33:25,166 --> 00:33:27,166
and he denies any involvement,
635
00:33:27,166 --> 00:33:27,957
he denies ever
going to Florida.
636
00:33:27,957 --> 00:33:28,000
he denies ever
going to Florida.
637
00:33:29,367 --> 00:33:30,934
He says he does not
know the victim,
638
00:33:30,934 --> 00:33:33,033
and he was not
with Wayne Wright at all.
639
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,166
[narrator] But investigators
don't have to take
the ex-con's word for it.
640
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,767
Jimmy's live-in girlfriend,
Taylor Shomaker,
641
00:33:41,767 --> 00:33:45,100
reaches out to law enforcement
with her own story to tell.
642
00:33:45,967 --> 00:33:48,400
She believes Jimmy
has a critical part
643
00:33:48,467 --> 00:33:50,467
in this murder of Dr. Sievers.
644
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:57,957
[Lebid] His girlfriend,
Taylor Shomaker,
645
00:33:57,957 --> 00:33:58,000
[Lebid] His girlfriend,
Taylor Shomaker,
646
00:33:58,367 --> 00:34:00,667
she had everything to lose,
but she spoke with us.
647
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,367
She told us that
Jimmy Ray Rodgers
648
00:34:05,367 --> 00:34:08,200
had her dispose
of evidence for him.
649
00:34:09,133 --> 00:34:12,066
Luckily for us,
uh, Ms. Shomaker
650
00:34:12,066 --> 00:34:14,400
said that she could take us
to these alleged items
651
00:34:14,467 --> 00:34:16,667
that she disposed of
for Jimmy Rodgers.
652
00:34:16,667 --> 00:34:20,166
He had her throw out
a blue jump suit
653
00:34:20,166 --> 00:34:24,300
[narrator] With her help,
police are able to retrieve
the garment.
654
00:34:24,367 --> 00:34:27,166
This is a huge
piece of evidence
that we recovered.
655
00:34:27,166 --> 00:34:27,957
He disposed of
a suit that he wore
656
00:34:27,957 --> 00:34:28,000
He disposed of
a suit that he wore
657
00:34:29,166 --> 00:34:31,567
potentially during
the commission of a murder
658
00:34:31,567 --> 00:34:33,834
[narrator] But unless
Dr. Sievers' DNA
659
00:34:33,834 --> 00:34:35,166
is found on the jumpsuit,
660
00:34:35,166 --> 00:34:38,033
it's just Taylor's word
against Jimmy's.
661
00:34:38,033 --> 00:34:40,266
Investigators need more
to hold him.
662
00:34:42,834 --> 00:34:46,100
They turn to the GPS data
from Curtis' trip to Florida.
663
00:34:47,266 --> 00:34:49,867
So as we're processing
all this GPS data,
664
00:34:49,934 --> 00:34:51,567
we were able to see
they were both at
665
00:34:51,567 --> 00:34:55,033
a local Walmart down here in
near Bonita Springs, Florida.
666
00:34:56,367 --> 00:34:57,957
[narrator] Investigators
screen video
667
00:34:57,957 --> 00:34:58,000
[narrator] Investigators
screen video
668
00:34:58,266 --> 00:35:00,266
from the Walmart
security cameras.
669
00:35:00,266 --> 00:35:01,834
[Downs] And wouldn't
you know it,
670
00:35:01,834 --> 00:35:04,400
right on video walking in
671
00:35:04,467 --> 00:35:07,567
is Curtis Wayne Wright
and Jimmy Ray Rodgers.
672
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,133
They buy trash bags,
673
00:35:10,133 --> 00:35:13,100
a black backpack,
a lock pick set.
674
00:35:13,100 --> 00:35:14,567
Now these are items
that you don't buy
675
00:35:14,567 --> 00:35:16,767
going on vacation to Florida.
676
00:35:16,834 --> 00:35:18,200
This is something
that you're gonna use
677
00:35:18,266 --> 00:35:21,567
to break into a house,
to clean up a crime scene.
678
00:35:21,567 --> 00:35:25,000
[narrator] Two months
after Dr. Teresa Sievers
was killed in her home,
679
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,834
Lee County
sheriff's investigators
680
00:35:26,834 --> 00:35:27,957
now have enough evidence
681
00:35:27,957 --> 00:35:28,000
now have enough evidence
682
00:35:28,266 --> 00:35:31,400
to file charges against
the murderous pair.
683
00:35:31,467 --> 00:35:33,066
[Downs] Now that they're
taken into custody,
684
00:35:33,066 --> 00:35:34,166
we speak to them separately.
685
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,266
Here's your chance
to exonerate yourself.
686
00:35:43,166 --> 00:35:44,967
He denied being
inside the house
687
00:35:44,967 --> 00:35:48,166
and blamed Jimmy Rodgers
for murdering Teresa Sievers.
688
00:35:54,767 --> 00:35:55,767
Eventually...
689
00:35:56,834 --> 00:35:57,957
...I think it occurred to
690
00:35:57,957 --> 00:35:58,000
...I think it occurred to
691
00:35:59,166 --> 00:36:00,200
Curtis Wayne Wright
692
00:36:00,266 --> 00:36:02,200
that if he didn't
tell the truth,
693
00:36:02,266 --> 00:36:04,767
that there would be
no opportunity
694
00:36:04,834 --> 00:36:07,500
for him to maybe receive
a lesser sentence.
695
00:36:07,567 --> 00:36:09,467
[Downs] Curtis Wright
said that
696
00:36:09,467 --> 00:36:12,367
he wanted to
give us the details
about what happened.
697
00:36:21,767 --> 00:36:24,667
Curtis Wayne Wright
finally admitted
698
00:36:24,734 --> 00:36:27,667
to striking the victim
multiple times in the head
699
00:36:27,667 --> 00:36:27,957
and then Jimmy Rodgers
took over.
700
00:36:27,957 --> 00:36:28,000
and then Jimmy Rodgers
took over.
701
00:36:34,834 --> 00:36:37,133
[narrator] Investigators
now know each man's part
702
00:36:37,133 --> 00:36:39,367
in killing Teresa Sievers.
703
00:36:39,367 --> 00:36:41,400
But one big question
still remains.
704
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:44,066
{\an8}It's still not clear
705
00:36:45,066 --> 00:36:47,200
{\an8}why Curtis Wayne
and Jimmy killed Teresa.
706
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,166
[narrator] To find out,
the team takes a closer look
707
00:36:51,166 --> 00:36:53,767
at Curtis Wayne Wright's
phone records.
708
00:36:53,834 --> 00:36:55,200
One name pops out.
709
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:57,200
[Downs] Mark Sievers...
710
00:36:58,300 --> 00:36:59,400
...the victim's husband.
711
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,100
Curtis Wayne Wright
explained that
712
00:37:03,100 --> 00:37:05,867
he was solicited
to do this murder
713
00:37:05,867 --> 00:37:07,767
by his best friend,
Mark Sievers.
714
00:37:08,934 --> 00:37:09,934
That in itself was a shock.
715
00:37:10,867 --> 00:37:13,033
[Lebid] This was
a huge breakthrough.
716
00:37:13,033 --> 00:37:14,767
We asked Curtis Wayne Wright,
717
00:37:14,834 --> 00:37:18,467
"Why? Why would Mark Sievers
ask you to kill his wife?"
718
00:37:21,300 --> 00:37:23,066
Curtis Wayne Wright
explained that
719
00:37:24,066 --> 00:37:25,934
they had a very
troubled marriage,
720
00:37:25,934 --> 00:37:27,957
and Mark believed that
the victim was getting ready
to leave him...
721
00:37:27,957 --> 00:37:28,000
and Mark believed that
the victim was getting ready
to leave him...
722
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,967
...that she had a TV show
723
00:37:33,967 --> 00:37:36,400
that she was about to
start producing,
724
00:37:36,467 --> 00:37:39,767
and Mark truly believed
that when this took off,
725
00:37:39,767 --> 00:37:43,467
that he would be down and out
without anything.
726
00:37:45,367 --> 00:37:47,567
[narrator] Mark called on
his lifelong friend,
727
00:37:47,567 --> 00:37:50,000
Curtis Wayne Wright,
to solve his problem.
728
00:37:50,967 --> 00:37:52,934
[Lebid] Mark believes that
729
00:37:52,934 --> 00:37:55,767
by asking Curtis
to kill the victim,
730
00:37:55,767 --> 00:37:57,957
Wayne Wright would easily
be able to find somebody
731
00:37:57,957 --> 00:37:58,000
Wayne Wright would easily
be able to find somebody
732
00:37:58,567 --> 00:38:00,834
because of who
he spent time with.
733
00:38:00,834 --> 00:38:04,567
And Jimmy Rodgers
got a fairly significant
criminal past,
734
00:38:04,567 --> 00:38:06,133
um, some of which is violent.
735
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,600
[narrator] Mark Sievers also
promised to pay his friend,
736
00:38:15,667 --> 00:38:17,133
once Teresa was dead.
737
00:38:19,367 --> 00:38:23,500
Mark had a significant
amount of life insurance
on the victim,
738
00:38:24,166 --> 00:38:26,867
somewhere around $5.8 million.
739
00:38:26,867 --> 00:38:27,957
So Mark would pay
around $50,000 to $100,000
740
00:38:27,957 --> 00:38:28,000
So Mark would pay
around $50,000 to $100,000
741
00:38:30,467 --> 00:38:31,600
for this homicide.
742
00:38:33,667 --> 00:38:35,567
At this point
in the investigation,
743
00:38:35,567 --> 00:38:38,600
we had significant
information from
Curtis Wayne Wright.
744
00:38:39,667 --> 00:38:43,567
We had very compelling
testimonial evidence
745
00:38:43,567 --> 00:38:45,266
from Taylor Shomaker.
746
00:38:45,266 --> 00:38:47,467
We had the GPS information
747
00:38:47,467 --> 00:38:49,300
that showed them
traveling down.
748
00:38:49,367 --> 00:38:52,400
We had significant
cell phone text messages
749
00:38:52,467 --> 00:38:55,066
between Mark Sievers
and Curtis Wayne Wright.
750
00:38:57,266 --> 00:38:57,957
{\an8}[narrator] With all
the pieces now in place,
751
00:38:57,957 --> 00:38:58,000
{\an8}[narrator] With all
the pieces now in place,
752
00:38:59,367 --> 00:39:01,667
{\an8}investigators can finally
put together
753
00:39:01,667 --> 00:39:04,567
{\an8}Teresa Sievers'
final 24 hours.
754
00:39:08,033 --> 00:39:10,767
{\an8}[Braun] On June 27th,
Wayne picks up Jimmy
755
00:39:10,767 --> 00:39:13,367
{\an8}in a rental car in Missouri
and they drive to Florida.
756
00:39:14,066 --> 00:39:17,000
{\an8}On June 28th at 11:06 AM,
757
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,834
{\an8}surveillance cameras
at a local Walmart
758
00:39:18,834 --> 00:39:20,734
{\an8}show Jimmy and Curtis
759
00:39:20,734 --> 00:39:22,734
{\an8}buying several
suspicious items.
760
00:39:24,100 --> 00:39:26,667
{\an8}On that same date
between 3 and 4 PM,
761
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:27,957
{\an8}Mark Sievers drops his wife,
our victim, off at the airport
762
00:39:27,957 --> 00:39:28,000
{\an8}Mark Sievers drops his wife,
our victim, off at the airport
763
00:39:30,467 --> 00:39:32,100
{\an8}to fly home
to Bonita Springs, Florida.
764
00:39:33,266 --> 00:39:35,667
{\an8}[Braun] At 6:09 PM
on June 28th,
765
00:39:35,667 --> 00:39:39,467
{\an8}Curtis and Jimmy
gain access to the Siever home
in Bonita Springs,
766
00:39:39,467 --> 00:39:41,867
{\an8}using a passcode on the alarm
767
00:39:41,867 --> 00:39:44,000
that Mark had given them.
768
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:47,767
[Lebid] At 10:53, Mark Sievers
hears from his wife,
769
00:39:47,767 --> 00:39:49,033
says she's landed safely,
770
00:39:49,033 --> 00:39:50,166
she's gonna get
something to eat
771
00:39:50,166 --> 00:39:51,400
and is leaving
the parking garage.
772
00:39:52,266 --> 00:39:54,166
{\an8}At approximately 11:00 PM,
773
00:39:54,166 --> 00:39:55,967
{\an8}our two suspects
are in the garage.
774
00:39:57,567 --> 00:39:57,957
{\an8}The victim arrives home,
pulls into the garage
775
00:39:57,957 --> 00:39:58,000
{\an8}The victim arrives home,
pulls into the garage
776
00:40:00,567 --> 00:40:02,100
{\an8}and starts moving
her luggage out.
777
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,166
Wayne follows the victim
into the house,
778
00:40:09,166 --> 00:40:11,500
grabs a hammer on his way in.
779
00:40:11,567 --> 00:40:14,266
As he's on his way in,
he bumps the dog bowl,
780
00:40:14,266 --> 00:40:16,133
causing the victim
to turn around.
781
00:40:18,734 --> 00:40:22,100
And Curtis Wayne Wright began
to strike her repeatedly.
782
00:40:24,066 --> 00:40:26,767
Shortly after,
Jimmy Rodgers took over
783
00:40:27,734 --> 00:40:27,957
and began to hit the victim
784
00:40:27,957 --> 00:40:28,000
and began to hit the victim
785
00:40:29,834 --> 00:40:31,867
again and again.
786
00:40:33,266 --> 00:40:36,166
{\an8}At approximately 11:19 PM,
787
00:40:36,166 --> 00:40:38,734
{\an8}the victim was killed
due to blunt force trauma.
788
00:40:39,734 --> 00:40:42,867
Jimmy and Wayne
take out her wallet,
789
00:40:42,934 --> 00:40:44,667
thumb through it,
leave it on the floor.
790
00:40:48,467 --> 00:40:51,600
They rummage
through the victim's luggage
in the garage
791
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:53,767
to further create
that false narrative
792
00:40:53,834 --> 00:40:56,867
that this was
a robbery gone wrong.
793
00:40:56,934 --> 00:40:57,957
They create pry marks
on the garage exterior door
794
00:40:57,957 --> 00:40:58,000
They create pry marks
on the garage exterior door
795
00:41:00,266 --> 00:41:01,767
to make it look like
somebody broke in.
796
00:41:03,300 --> 00:41:04,567
{\an8}And on June 29th,
797
00:41:04,567 --> 00:41:06,867
{\an8}Wayne and Jimmy
drive back to Missouri.
798
00:41:09,367 --> 00:41:10,700
[narrator] At trial,
799
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:13,400
Lee County
sheriff's investigators'
work pays off.
800
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,200
[Lebid] In December of 2019,
801
00:41:16,266 --> 00:41:18,934
Jimmy Rodgers was convicted
of second-degree murder
802
00:41:18,934 --> 00:41:20,400
and sentenced
to life in prison.
803
00:41:22,033 --> 00:41:23,767
In February of 2020,
804
00:41:24,266 --> 00:41:25,967
Curtis Wayne Wright
805
00:41:25,967 --> 00:41:27,867
is found guilty
of second-degree murder...
806
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:31,133
...and sentenced
to 25 years in prison.
807
00:41:33,166 --> 00:41:35,100
[narrator] Teresa Sievers'
husband, Mark,
808
00:41:35,100 --> 00:41:37,767
is also tried and convicted
of first degree murder
809
00:41:37,834 --> 00:41:39,767
and conspiracy
to commit murder.
810
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:44,367
{\an8}[Lebid] And on
January 3rd, 2020.
811
00:41:44,367 --> 00:41:46,266
{\an8}Mark Sievers
was sentenced to death.
812
00:41:48,667 --> 00:41:52,033
{\an8}This is one of
the most horrific crimes
I've ever worked...
813
00:41:54,467 --> 00:41:56,567
{\an8}...not only because
the level of violence...
814
00:41:58,467 --> 00:42:00,066
{\an8}...but because
the level of trust
815
00:42:00,066 --> 00:42:01,266
{\an8}that was violated...
816
00:42:02,367 --> 00:42:04,567
{\an8}...between two people
that called themselves family.
