If MS was behind all of this, AND if you'all strongly think that MS would have NO choice BUT TO have the $10,000 murder payment get into Wright's physical hands while Wright & Jimmy were in the Sievers' home committing the actual murder, THEN IMO what would be logical would be for MS simply to have the money ready for them, say in $20's (whatever denomination in that geographical area would NOT raise suspicion) in a brown paper bag tucked away somewhere close to that door through which they broke in --- 'grab & go' & that way & NO DNA !! IMO NO WAY would plotting, scheming 'brilliant' murderers waste time fiddling with any safes in the home just after they committed this scary murder --- they'd be skedaddling, and would have had it all planned.
I myself tho', do NOT think the actual transfer of the $10K from MS to Wright (if MS is behind this....) would be any 'big deal' ----------------------gheesh, since MS had his wedding ring off at Wright's wedding AND since MS looks mighty darn HAPPY & I'M-A-FREE-MAN at that wedding, PLUS he's got what appears to be champagne in his hand, then IMO, MS dropped the cash off while there for the wedding. Remember MS would totally trust his BFF to follow through on the murder, and REMEMBER, Teresa's return alone on that Sunday night had been LONG PLANNED. If you go read that 'policy' statement from back when Teresa was the doc', it says Teresa is off work (I BELIEVE) Xmas-NYear's, AND that one week in the spring ONLY. So, see, in keeping with their 'routines', if MS is behind this, there was ONLY a super duper tight window of time for him to have Teresa alone & vulnerable to murder in that house. AND remember how 'loving' MS put an alarm system in PRIOR to the murder---------------------perhaps MS thought the police would think, 'Oh MS is such a loving, caring husband, and he got a security system especially cuz' his beloved Teresa would be home alone just one night for about 6 hrs-----------------in no way could this lovely man be involved is ANY of this --------to the contrary, MS went above & beyond what a 'normal hubby' would do - MS has this totally air tight alibi that MS is off in Conn., PLUS MS had an alarm system in the home for Teresa!!' Group: Does it not make sense that (if MS is behind this, and is so diabolical--I always am super attentive to AmazonR's posts....) 'brilliant' MS in plotting & scheming the details of the murder would want to GO OUT OF HIS WAY to demonstrate to police that his hands are not only Clean Hands, but covered in bleach+sanitizer+limestone!!!!
The one 'possible' worry for the plan to fail would be bad weather - rain, a storm. IMO, I'm guessing the plan would be: The murder will happen NO MATTER WHAT (so long as Teresa is in that house). See, IMO, the 2 (Wright & Jimmy) were 'laying in prey' for Teresa. If there was a rainstorm, they'd actually be happy about it (kinda) cuz that would muffle sounds & make it less likely for their parked vehicle to be noticed AND make it super simple for those 2 to get from their car & into the home (in the dark). (Note: They thought, if Teresa couldn't get out of Conn. due to bad weather, etc., then they WOULD need to delay the murder, and maybe change tactics...)
ALSO, since the wedding pics' have been posted, I've been totally stumped by how very happy & carefree & INNOCENT all three of them look in the pics !!! Heck, MS is 'hamming it up' deliberately for the camera!!!!!!!!!! I was thinkin': If a murder was in the works, HOW IN THE WORLD could they be so giggly & carefree??? NOW, tho', if I try to think as him/MS (IF he's behind this), well it is ENTIRELY LOGICAL that MS & Wright are so super duper giddy-happy- ESPECIALLY MARK SIEVERS !!!!!!!!! Get it? The plan to murder Teresa had LONG BEEN SET IN STONE, so MS was feeling "I'm with my BFF, like the good ol' days - I'm FREE again - FINALLY - I can count on my BFF & he can count on me - oh, I love this guy (Wright) & he loves me back - life is SO perfect - & I'll get married again myself to somebody lovely like this young thing' Wright's found - it WILL happen for me, too!!!!!!!!"

Also, fyi, I had a thought: WHAT IF Mark Sievers simply bought, say, the Samsung Chromebook2 (it's nice - came out last year...) for $400 cash, used it to do all he needed to do to fiddle on the internet to plot the murder (check weather forecasts, consider Teresa's airport route...., all sorts of misc. things, REMEMBER this is Mr. Brilliant ((in MS's mind, if AmazR. is correct)) & Mr. Brilliant's murder of his wife will be AIR TIGHT- THE PERFECT MURDER, MS WON'T EVEN BE A FREAKIN' SUSPECT!!! ). Gang: MS would simply get out a HAMMER and smash that Chromebook2 to smithereens PRIOR to leaving on the lovely, 'happy' family trip!!.

What does have me stumped, tho', gotta say, is how Wright did not see to it that the hammer & painter's suit, all the bloody stuff, did not wind up PROPERLY DISPOSED-OF !! That issue has me stumped............ I figure Jimmy HAD TO HAVE double-crossed Wright, lied to Wright (cuz' Jimmy wanted those trophies buried in zip lock bags - airtight - his 'trophies', his 'souveniers', to be dug up and fondled & gazed upon for all the happy years to come....), but I cannot imagine what lie Jimmy could have come up with that would 'work' on Wright - thought, please, Sleuthers? It seems to me that Wright would have insisted that he see with his very own eyes that, say, the hammer was thrown into some river en route home to MO, and the painter suit would be a bloody mess, shoes, etc. --------- MS would have researched how best to get rid of that stuff during the 6-state drive back. How could Jimmy successfully dupe Wright on this matter - I'm just stumped.
