MO - Ronnie A Bolin, 33, Jefferson County, 8 July 1996

[Riversinthedesert]

Because he almost never went by his first name - everyone knew him as Wayne - his dad went by Curtis - he's a Jr.

questioneverything, it sounds like you know Wayne. Can you share anything else about him?

 

[questioneverything]

I'm not verified, been trying but there has been a LOT of family issues between all this stuff with Ronnie, the police, and many other things that are going on I haven't been able to make the call to get verified. I can tell you he was considered a friend of the family right up until Ronnie disappeared and he refused to speak to the police at all - even though it was known he was the last person to see Ronnie alive. He was originally a close friend of one of the other brothers - Ronnie was about 5 years older than Wayne but at some point Wayne and Ronnie became good friends. There are lots of twists and turns in this nightmare - including the fact that Wayne's uncle, Tommy Wright, was a lieutenant for the Jefferson County Sheriffs Department for over 20 years <modsnip> But at any rate, Wayne is NOT someone you want to mess with if you can avoid it. Personally, I found his behavior psychopathic. He could be very kind and charming but God help you if you stood in the way of something he wanted or you even acted like you might tell a secret of his. He treated everyone this way - best friends until he's done with you or you get in his way. People are very scared of him and what he and his friends/family can do. <modsnip>

Wow questioneverything- thank you and welcome. Your post is very insightful and you describe him exactly in the truth of the way I suspected. If he did this, and I am pretty sure he did, he is a psychopath.

Questioning everything,

What is your impression of ms? Do you think he knew of or suspected cww in rb's disappearance? Did he have the same kind of reputation as cww?

Wow! Thanks so much QE! I'm so sorry for your loss. <modsnip>

So are you saying the investigation into Ronnie's murder is now active again with Wayne as the prime suspect? Do you know what, if anything Wayne has told the authorities now with respect to Ronnie's death?

Also, you mentioned "people being scared of his family/friends". If indeed Wayne was involved with Ronnie's death, was there any suspicion of an accomplice or is it suspected he acted alone? Is there other evidence that points to Wayne other than being the last person who saw Ronnie?

Do you know his new wife? I think her mother stated she is "standing by her man". Do you know if that has changed? I am not attempting to sleuth the wife or anyone other than those who have been named suspects so a yes or no is fine, if you can even answer this question.

I too would like to know if you are aquatinted with MS and your impression of his character.

I sincerely hope you and those close to Ronnie are able to get some closure after all of these years.

Questioning Everything,
Thank you for being here. I am so sorry for all the worry and grief RB's family has endured for so long. I hope answers will come with CWW behind bars.

 

[questioneverything]

Much appreciated. Everyone is hopeful Wayne may finally talk and at least put closure on the situation. That is always the most difficult part - having no answers and not knowing what really happened.

 

[questioneverything]

Excellent info, the date is AFTER BOLIN WENT MISSING!
Hmmm, sounds like somebody had to explain "THE SMELL" of a recently fired weapon AND/OR the GSR (gun shot residue) on their clothing. I can just hear it now when the detective asked, "Did you fire your gun lately, 'cause it SMELLS like it has recently been fired." CWW (just guessing ok...so give me some THEORY latitude :drumroll) replies, "Well yes officer, I did just recently, accidentally and unlawfully fired my weapon....you got me! I'll just have to plead no contest and pay my fine....because that is the Wright thing to do."
And, even though Missoure LE was suspicious, what could they do without a body? I think it was smart of them to go through the paperwork and at least document the "recently fired weapon" as part of their missing persons investigation and POI interviews.

About 3-4 weeks after the disappearance somebody reported the smell of rotting flesh in the subdivision where Wayne Wrights parents live. Documented it and brought in cadaver dog - nothing found. Personally, I think they were looking on the wrong piece of property, but that's my opinion. But they did document it. At the very least.

I know it has been many many years, but, has your family thought of digging up the "right" property?

Question, I hope and pray CWW talks and justice is served. I can only imagine how your brother's disappearance has affected you and all who love Ron. :blowkiss:

 

[questioneverything]

After finding out about the bones going thru the wood chipper I doubt there is anything to find or dig up at this point. The only hope is for him to come clean in the hopes of getting life in prison in Missouri rather than Florida. I hear tell Florida prisons are far worse than those in Missouri. <modsnip>

 

[questioneverything]

I hope so too.

 

[Timekeeper65]

I hope so too.

Thank you for your insight into this case. Also WELCOME to Websleuths!

So very sorry for all that you have gone through and hope in the near future you will have all the answers to your many questions.

EXCLUSIVE: New details emerge in Dr. Teresa Sievers death case

Although it was almost 20 years ago, Greg Bolin can remember in detail what his life was like in the summer of 1996.

He was still grieving the death of his mother, who died just before Thanksgiving the previous year. That May, he had undergone a major surgery and was still recuperating. On the night before his older brother went missing, he tried to go back to work at his job at an auto factory but had to leave because it was too hard on his body.

Then he got the call that Ronnie had disappeared. It was July 9, 1996.

“It’s one of those things, like ‘where were you when Kennedy was killed?’ I have a real good memory of this because all this happened at the same time,” Bolin said.

It’s been 19 years since Ronnie Bolin was last heard from. His car was discovered abandoned at a carwash in St. Louis, with the driver’s door open and the keys still inside. His body was never found.

Officials in Jefferson County, Missouri, where the Bolins are from, recently announced that a suspect in the death of Bonita Springs doctor Teresa Sievers is still an active person of interest in the disappearance of Ronnie Bolin. Throughout the years, detectives have continued to receive tips that Curtis “Wayne” Wright was responsible for killing Ronnie Bolin.

Greg Bolin was watching the local news up in Missouri on Aug. 28 when he learned Wright had been arrested in connection with Sievers’ death. Wright is a longtime friend of the doctor’s husband, Mark Sievers, who grew up in Missouri.

“My first reaction was, ‘Those poor children,’” Bolin said, referring to the Sieverses’ two young daughters. “Then my second reaction was that another life was being altered and destroyed by this same jerk who has altered and destroyed lives of many people. The third reaction was that this time, at least he’s going to pay for it.”

Greg Bolin first met Wright in the third grade. They became friends, once cowriting a school play together, until Wright moved away the next year. When Wright returned to Hillsboro in high school, the two reconnected. In his senior year, Wright was class president and voted “most dependable” in the senior superlatives. A yearbook photo shows him pretending to lie in a hospital bed, clutching the hand of his female counterpart.

Greg Bolin moved to Illinois after high school and said his older brother Ronnie grew closer to Wright in his absence. Ronnie Bolin got into youth ministry and became a pastor, something he’d aspired to his whole life.

“He was funny and outgoing. He liked to entertain people,” Greg Bolin said. “Ronnie did a lot of good things in his life.”

After a split from his wife in 1994, however, Ronnie Bolin “went off the deep end,” according to his brother. Unbeknownst to his family, he started using drugs. Greg Bolin said he later learned his brother had been doing meth with Wright, who was arrested on a drug possession charge in May, just a few weeks before Bolin disappeared.

On the Fourth of July that year, Greg Bolin said his brother told him he was going to blackmail Wright until he repaid a debt. He didn’t get specific, and Greg Bolin didn’t push it.

“(Ronnie) said if anything happened to him, Wayne did it,” Greg Bolin recalled. “He said, ‘There are things I need to tell you but I can’t in front of your wife.’ ”

After Ronnie Bolin went missing, Wright told Bolin’s father the two had met up at a Pizza Hut, where he said he had repaid him. In the days afterward, Wright left Missouri, telling friends he was leaving for a vacation in Florida.

“Ronnie was clearly upset and depressed, and I think Wayne and his drugs gave him the perfect avenue to escape reality,” Greg Bolin said. “They did a lot of stupid stuff together, and I think it eventually cost him his life.”

The Sievers case hits home for Greg Bolin on another level, too. Back in 1993, he began dating a woman named Shelley Fryer, who had been engaged to Mark Sievers a few years prior. Fryer also is the aunt of Wright’s new wife, Angela.

On New Year’s Eve 1990, Greg Bolin said he attended a friend’s party, where Fryer and Sievers also were in attendance. Two years later, Bolin was at a bar in St. Louis when he spotted a pretty blonde across the room.

He soon realized it was Fryer, and the two began talking and danced all night. She was no longer engaged to Sievers and, as he found out soon after, was pregnant with another’s man child. It didn’t matter to Bolin. He and Fryer married in May of 1993 and he agreed to raise her son as his own. His brother Ronnie married them in a church ceremony. She wore the dress she’d purchased for her wedding to Sievers, which was called off for some reason.

“She didn’t really ever talk about it,” Bolin said.

Bolin, who has since divorced Fryer, said he knew Mark Sievers but wasn’t friends with him. He isn’t sure if Sievers ever met his brother.

With Wright’s arrest in the Sievers case, Bolin is hopeful his family could finally get the answers they’ve been holding out for.

“I just think that if anybody knows anything, it’s time for them to come forward and say what they know and stop this person from hurting anyone else,” Bolin said. “We need closure. We’d like to know what happened. There’s a part of us that doesn’t want to believe someone once so close to our family was involved in it, but there’s nothing that really points in any other direction. These people responsible should answer for what they’ve done.”

The detective investigating the case, Lt. Doc Coombs, said last month that he met with Wright in jail after his arrest in the Sievers case to let him know the Bolin case was still being investigated. Coombs said he told Wright he was ready to talk if Wright ever became interested.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Ronnie Bolin is asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 636-797-5515 or 636-797-9999.

So if I read the entire article in NDN correctly, Ronnie Bolin's brother married the woman that MS had been engaged to in the '90's. Hmm.

 

[Zanthrash]

bone fragments will remain in the area for over 30 years.

Who is the aunt of CWW's current wife, small world, hmm.

Connectivity...

Can wives still be allowed to refuse to give evidence against their spouse?

 

[Riversinthedesert]

I guess Jessica was holding out on us last night! My jaw is on the floor. I knew there was some connection between all of these people. We are finally connecting the dots and MS may be the common link.
