FL - Dr Teresa Sievers, 46, murdered in home, Bonita Springs, June 2015 *ARRESTS* #8

[atthelake]

Because of many things Sheriff Scott has said regarding the case, I still can't quite get myself to see this as a classic "I don't want to be married to you anymore, so I am going to kill you." His word choices are frequently most specific, and his description of the uniqueness of the circumstances is highlighted again, and again...even stating it was our local 'LE's most complicated and intricate set of circumstances they have ever encountered' (paraphrasing here). For me, no matter how you dress it up with look "alike friends" and anything else you care to add, this would just be a case of a husband hiring his childhood friend, who appears to be a bit of **** and small time drug dealer, to murder his wife. Tragic? Absolutely, unequivocally, yes. Unique? Complicated? Sadly, no...and certainly not a movie that I would want to see, or can imagine many people spending $$ to see...at best, cable TV movie. And, I am not trying to sound crass by saying that.

Sheriff Scott has frequently used what I would call expansive language, not restrictive, in talking about additional suspects. He could always just say that they are looking at everyone close to the doctor when asked...yet, in one interview he lists not only the husband, but continues on with 3-4 more options...including, but specifically, business associates, coworkers, family members...(paraphrasing, again, but I believe these were his actual words).

In addition, Scott said something recently that I forgot, but caught in a transcript, if accurate: he specifically noted that MO, FL and CT were involved in the crime. We know who the people involved in the first two states are...who is in the third state (CT) that is part of this? I thought only TS's family lived there...

Another poster brought up a same sex angle as a possibility...as a gay man, I think he assumed the SS relationship was gay, noting husbands frequently go on the 'down and low' (my words) when married. But, what if the SS affair was lesbian? What if it became a love triangle at some point? Knowing Americans, now THAT is a movie people would buy tickets to go and see...

Link please I have never heard him say Connecticut.. Just Florida to Missouri

MinnesotaMary:2. How do you posters KNOW that the Dad/Mark is NOT with his two daughters right now??? My impression is that the girls are 'safe', and Mark is said to stop at the house 1-2X/day now, but how does anyone here know that Mark is NOT living with his girls? (It makes zero sense to me that he wouldn't be.... even with grief...)



I have not heard that MS is not living with his girls, in fact I was under the impression that he was living with them. Does anyone know any differently? I assumed he was with them, although I have no clue WHERE any of them are.

Not a link, transcript on here a week ago? Qualified my statement "if accurate" when posted as well...think someone had posted a NG transcript...

YES..it is for me, but I've never killed anyone. If I was innocent I would simply say NO . Why is that hard? I would want the world to know I had done nothing. Even if an attorney told me not to talk, stating that I didnt kill someone would not seem to me to hurt my innocence. again ,My opinion

If your lawyer tells you not to talk u don't talk! That's why u pay him!

If my husband was murdered and a reporter stuck his camera and his mic in my face and said hey did u kill your husband id be enraged!

IMO I feel if he wants to give an interview so be it don't sit in wait and jump him.
Its just a matter of time. LE will arrest him or clear him.

It's just plain ole "goodnight friends" till Monday.

I have to agree. He should at least want to let his kids see him on national tv saying that he did not have any involvement what so ever.

The reporter asked him if 2 plus 2 equals 4. And he says no comment.

It was a very simple question. Imo.

Btw. The reporter didn't ask him if 2 plus 2 equals 4.

But the reporter did ask him a yes or no question that he he could have and should have been able to quickly answer. Jmo.

 

[justonedrin]

Your comment reminds me of Skinner (verified friend of MS) and his statement that he would consider the guilt of MS to be much less likely if CWW was at the scene of the crime. I've always found that sentiment interesting. :moo:

I remember him saying the exact opposite. if CWW was there it didnt look good for MS

 

[SeesSeas]

EXCERPT:
3. Why in the world are people/posters here allowed to speculate on Mark/Dad having anything to do with this horrible murder of his wife, speculation that he is the logical mastermind (we still don't know the amts. of $$$$$$ at stake from the life ins. policies on Teresa (my guess is an easy $5MM, or $8MM, even $10MM). I thought rules are if someone is not a named 'suspect' or 'person of interest', we are NOT to speculate or 'sleuth' them !?

Regarding your 3rd comment - I cannot speak for moderators, but I can tell you that I was under the impression that because one of the people arrested (CWW) was MS' best friend, and because LE had made no indication that he was not a POI, it was OK to speculate how he might have been involved. JMO; hope mods will correct me if I misunderstood.

I, too, have been curious about the 'rules' for sleuthing MS that has dominated this thread this week.
Earlier in the week beach wrote "No posting of anything ascertained through sleuthing regarding Mr. Sievers, including public records. If info has been reported by MSM, it's okay, otherwise not okay. "

Admin Note:

Allow me to clarify the parameters regarding speculation of Mark Sievers:

He has not been named a suspect or POI. HOWEVER, this is what has changed -

It has definitely been confirmed that CWW and Mr. Sievers have been lifelong close friends. Mark and CWW even shared the same street address at one time, per sources cited. It has been confirmed that he was employed as the IT specialist for Dr. Sievers practice. It has been confirmed by Dr. Siever's sister that Mark has not contacted her since the arrest of his close friend that is charged with murdering her sister. There's more but I'm not going to list them all here. The connections are there. And the connections are confirmed between CWW and JR. We can't possibly expect people to not speculate how those close connections may be related to solving this case. That's what sleuths do - follow the trail of breadcrumbs to hopefully connect the dots. It's a natural curiosity. Sure doesn't mean anyone is correct in their speculations. (And fwiw, neither JR OR CWW were publicly named POIs before their arrest yesterday.)

Also, I have seen some excellent posts expressing very plausible theories that have nothing to do with Mark being involved with the murder of his wife. This is the beauty of Websleuths - remain open-minded while reading and consider ALL theories then give them the weight one feels they deserve.

The line is drawn here:

No posting of anything ascertained through sleuthing regarding Mr. Sievers, including public records. If info has been reported by MSM, it's okay, otherwise not okay.

Welcome to Websleuths and thank you for sharing your experience! I'm glad you got reimbursed eventually. Yelling at a patient is so unprofessional! I have to wonder if MS had been running a Medicare scam previously. So common in FL, at least according to "60 Minutes!"

It's interesting that one website for her office clearly states that they will submit claims as a courtesy only for traditional Medicare. However, the detailed fee list on another site for March 2015 makes no mention of Medicare. I wonder when they "really" stopped.

New to Website!!:loveyou:
Thought you sleuths would be interested in my personal encounter with MS. About 3 years ago, I was a patient of TS. My primary insurance is Medicare. When I called the office for appt., I was told that TS accepted Medicare. My appt. with TS was very pleasant and she spent a lot of time with me. After appt., I was told I needed to pay upfront and they would submit paperwork to Medicare for reimbursement. Saw TS for another appt. Before 3rd scheduled appt., I became aware that Medicare would not reimburse me since TS doesn't accept Medicare assignment. This totally blindsighted me since both office staff & website stated that TS accepted Medicare. At this point, I had already paid out close to $1,000.

Contacted TS office about why I was provided false information about Medicare. I was told that I needed to speak with office manager (MS). Set up appt. with MS to discuss the Medicare issues. Arrived at office and was sent to MS office. Showed him the office bills and rejection statements from Medicare. MS told me that TS no longer accepts Medicare and I was responsible for the charges. At this point, I became very upset and asked MS why I was not informed of their policies when setting up appts. or even when I handed over Medicare card.

This was where it got REALLY SCARY!! Told MS that their "miscommunications" was costing me money that I could not afford. Told MS that I would be contacting Medicare about their deceptive office practices. MS literally started yelling at me to the point where I became afraid and immediately left the office. Once I got to my car, I was shaking so hard that it took me several minutes to compose myself to drive.

To make long story short, I contacted Medicare to report fraud. Medicare investigators contacted MS and even went to office when MS didn't cooperate. Medicare continued to work on my behalf and 1 1/2 years later I was FINALLY reimbursed.

Sorry for long post, but thought my experience will help shed some light on MS personality. If I was treated as a client in this manner, I can't imagine what TS may have been subjected to behind closed doors. JMO!

Yes. This is correct. if CWW WAS THERE, then it wouldn't look good for MS.
I wonder what skinner is thinking now?

Just go with the flow without getting you or someone else a T.O and everything will be okay.

Since the sheriff still hasn't cleared ms means that he could still be a poi.

Now ws realizes this at the moment, so they are giving a little leniency. So don't try to rock the boat at the moment. Much oblige.

Is it possible he has talked to his dau's in person already and explained he was not involved & to answer their questions?
Poss'ly better for them to hear it that way than his response to reporter on tv.

bbm2
Quickly answer? Yes, ideally, but after a person w mic shoved in in face answers one question, I've never seen a reporter stop asking questions. Slippery slope, perhaps?

all jmo.

 

[travelbug]

Something I wonder about with MS seeming to be involved. Didn't it occur to him that with a murder investigation there would be all kinds of investigation into her family, friends, co-workers and *business*?

CWW is clearly capable of fraud or other illegal activities, given his history. But if MS was conspiring with CWW to do something with TS business, why would they commit a murder that would require everything to be investigated?

Assuming MS is involved, he can't have thought this through very well. Which takes me back to it being an emotional reaction to rejection.

You just reminded of the broad scope of the investigation. I'm thinking we need to expand our definition regarding another arrest. His use of the term envelope may be a message to one, or several, that he intends to arrest everyone connected to any type of fraud, drugs and any other crimes perpetrated by friends, spouse, co-workers and family members. Even if MS has no connection to the actual murder of his wife it seems likely that the investigation will turn up some type of malfeasance - perhaps tax evasion, etc. The same can be said for any of the people "connected" to Dr. Sievers. I think that Scott is disgusted by all sorts of things LE has uncovered and he intends to nail everyone to the wall. I sure do hope it turns out that MS had nothing to do with the murder, for the sake of those beautiful children who have already lost a mother. jmoo

 

[Luvrosco]

Agree. My stepson is a sole practitioner who always wanted to treat fewer patients with more time devoted to each. He's reached his desired maximum patient load, but is fearful reimbursement cuts in the future will reduce his income more than he can handle. As a result, he's investigating concierge medicine, where he would charge a yearly fee that will only appeal to higher income patients. This results in a much smaller patient load, but very good service for that smaller number of patients. People may get subsidized insurance under the ACA (which was written by insurance companies), but it doesn't mean they'll be able to find a doctor.

When I was looking at Dr. Sievers as a potential doc for the months I spend in Florida, I wasn't looking for spa treatments, reiki, or anything new age. I was interested in two main things that aren't terribly out of the ordinary, but which many docs won't do. First, I wanted advanced lipid testing (as opposed to the routine, much less meaningful cholesterol tests). There used to be, and maybe still is, a webpage where Sievers talked about the advantages of such testing. It's something preventive cardiologists will do, but not most family docs. Second, I wanted supplemental thyroid hormone, as my T3 thyroid is low enough to negatively impact my cardiovascular health, but not low enough for most endocrinologists or family docs to treat. I know of a famous cardiologist in the Midwest who treats low thyroid with great results, and a cardiologist I was seeing up north admitted that normalizing T3 would be very helpful but told me "we don't prescribe thyroid." There's a real need for docs who keep up with current knowledge and aren't afraid to act on it because of outdated Medicare or insurance guidelines.

Just wondering about the doctor you mentioned in the Midwest. Is it Dr. William Davis? Welcome to WS!

 

[Lilibet]

Yes. This is correct. if CWW WAS THERE, then it wouldn't look good for MS.
I wonder what skinner is thinking now?

Actually, Skinner said if CWW was NOT there it was bad for MS.

IF WW was NOT in Florida at the time of the murder, I think Mark is done for. My words seem emphatic, but knowing the facts as you all do as well as my knowing WW and MS like I do, I think if WW stayed behind in Missouri, I don't see a plausible way out for MS. It would seem like nothing less than a hired hit.

His daughters are not his lawyers. They are now seeing him about to be crucified and they could be wondering why dad didn't answer the most important question to the reporter on national tv.

His kids are not dumb. And they may be following this case on their phones or computers. Jmo

So he should have simply answered the question. Or simply stated that he is a million percent innocent but he will not be talking to the press.

Hi. I have not 'been here' for a little while - upset over the murders of the peace officers.

I've read much of this thread and am very confused:

1. Could somebody please give a link or a cut&paste as to where the Sheriff said there are killers/suspects(?)/persons of interest in this murder from MO, CT, and Fla? Mo- Wright and Hammer. Florida?? Who the heck would that be?? CT - Huh?? This case in mind-boggling !!

2. How do you posters KNOW that the Dad/Mark is NOT with his two daughters right now??? My impression is that the girls are 'safe', and Mark is said to stop at the house 1-2X/day now, but how does anyone here know that Mark is NOT living with his girls? (It makes zero sense to me that he wouldn't be.... even with grief...)

3. Why in the world are people/posters here allowed to speculate on Mark/Dad having anything to do with this horrible murder of his wife, speculation that he is the logical mastermind (we still don't know the amts. of $$$$$$ at stake from the life ins. policies on Teresa (my guess is an easy $5MM, or $8MM, even $10MM). I thought rules are if someone is not a named 'suspect' or 'person of interest', we are NOT to speculate or 'sleuth' them !?
