No, I don't doubt that the sheriff is checking out every employee, but do we know how many people the practice officially "employed" as opposed to how many people worked with the practice as affiliates or independent contractors? I don't think this case is as simple as an employee stealing drugs. It could be that someone was using the clinic to have HGH delivered and diverted for sale on the black market. Perhaps Dr. Sievers didn't report this activity but rather, it was reported to her by investigating authorities. who sought her assistance. This is true if she discovered a patient was fraudulently obtaining HGH or the feds discovered this.
If true, surely LE wouldn't release this information to the public at this stage of the investigation.
IMO, I do think Dr. Sievers mentioned whatever was going on to her sister. I don't think its far fetched to think that the Dr. would take an on going investigation seriously enough that she would not mention it to other people at the office. She very well could have been the only person who had knowledge of illegal activity - if LE thinks something is going on within that practice they are not going to tell all the employees or make an investigation obvious. In fact, LE probably would have requested that she not act any differently, refrain from firing the employee(s). It would make sense that they would reach out to the Dr., and after being sure she wasn't involved, request her assistance. Maybe they set up a sting? I don't know. Assistance could be hey, will you testify in front of a grand jury? Maybe there was a subpoena involved and she mentioned to her sister that the planned to tell the truth. I won't get into the reasons why she may have kept this kind of information from her husband.
Another issue to note - the sheriff probably wouldn't be privy to the inner workings of an on-going federal investigation. After the murder, sure, there would be information sharing.
