#teresasievers family does have custody of Mark and Teresa's two daughters. They are not in the courtroom. In the dependency case, the judge approved them to move to Connecticut with the family. I'm not sure if they're in #swfl or up north. #trialtweets #nbc2courtcoverage

Mark Sievers encouraged a friend of Teresa's to enter the Sievers' home and check on her the morning she was found dead, Hunter said.

"He realized what he was looking at on the floor of the kitchen was his friend, Dr. Sievers. As he stepped into the kitchen he noticed copious amounts of blood," Hunter said.

"This was the beginning of a month's long investigation that would result in the arrest of Jimmy Rodgers and Curtis Wright," Hunter said.


Hunter spent the first few minutes of his opening statements explaining when and who found Teresa Sievers dead.

When the Lee County Sheriff's Office arrived to investigate her death, they did not find any evidence of burglary at the home. Hunter is talking about all the valuables left in the home after Teresa Sievers was killed.

"Everything that was supposed to be in that house appeared to be in te house with the exception of Dr. Sievers' lifeless body," Hunter said.

Investigators found a hammer with hair and blood on it next to Teresa's Sievers body. An autopsy revealed injuries to Teresa's head consistent with a hammer, Hunter said.

The medical examiner could tell Teresa Sievers died as a result of being bludgeoned to death, Hunter said.

The sheriff's office gathered as much evidence and documented the crime scene as much as possible early on in the investigation, Hunter said.


"This truly was a mystery to the detective," Hunter said. There were no leads to start off the investigation.

"Mr. Sievers was up north with Dr. Sievers family in New York and Connecticut," Hunter said.


The whole Sievers family went to New York before Teresa was killed. It was a weekend of family fun, Hunter said.



"Mr. Sievers was thousands of miles away when Dr. Sievers passed away," Hunter said.

"Then a break in the case came and it came from all places of the state of Missouri. Mr. Sievers is from Missouri," Hunter said.
