Im pretty stuck on this killing being by a man since neighbor heard a man yelling. But! One thing that hasn't been mentioned yet that maybe more than one involved.

Reporting 2 sources have told them hammer.

But I mean a case where someone deliberately packed up their favorite killin' hammer before going on the prowl?

My stumbling block is that the LE told people, there was not a crazed killer on the loose didn't they right up front?? Certainly a hammered death via a total stranger, seems like I'd be in jeopardy as would ALL my neighbors in the surrounding neighborhood.

I think its someone she knew or knew of her, via the reputation serving someone in her business or charity work. Seems that would cover the emotional overkill part of this tragedy.

Anything is possible at this point. Many things not mentioned yet such as whether it is believed random or not.

Tan suv reported parked in her driveway that morning. Perhaps it was the person that went to her home to do a wellness check and found her dead that the neighbors saw?

That could very well be! Neighbors thought it was around 9 and they could have been off by 30-45 min. How far is work from her home? I am wondering how long it would have taken to get someone from work to get to Dr. S's home to do the wellness check? Was the SUV report just on NG or other news articles? This would answer my question of why would someone hang around for several hours into the daylight hours. It may be that they didn't.

A hammer is an easily concealed weapon, it can be used to gain entry, as a murder weapon and also easily disposed of. The movie, Presumed Innocent perfect example... Premeditated murder by a woman in that case a rage killing intended to frame her husband. Guns kill more people but blunt force weapons are quieter, handier and more personal. Not buying random killing or burglary. Jmo.

The only thing we have heard from dad is give me a million dollars. jmo

BRILLIANT POST !!! TY !!!!

Things don't look good when the next door neighbor is hammered to death, and the po po tell everyone oh, don't fret over this/ not to worry/the community is safe....:notgood::notgood:

my DH is a doctor in practice and we dont have soft skin leather couches and a living room feel because that costs money. We are also out of debt (close to TS's age) and have insurance up to our eyeballs.

That doesnt mean anything in regard to her, but does give me reason to want to know more about her finances in regard to her practice.

Perhaps LE spoke too soon, telling everyone this event would not imperil others?

What were their exact words anyway?

Neighbors say the street would usually be covered with kids playing and riding bikes on a holiday weekend. But with a killer on the loose, that is not the case

It does seem quite improbable that the killer would have purposefully left his tan van on the driveway for a few hours too.
What crook does that?

Did she ever have a client come to her home for an appt? Sounds like a crime of passion IF the hammer was not her property.

A hammer is an easily concealed weapon, it can be used to gain entry, as a murder weapon and also easily disposed of.

I was also thinking that the hammer could have been the same tool used to jimmy the lock. If it was what happened, then I would think that the murderer used the hammer as the murder weapon just because it was already in his/her hands. This leads me to think that the murder was not planned; instead, I think that the murderer was surprised to see Dr. Teresa Sievers home and attacked her with the hammer that was already in his/her hands.

Of course, this could just be the scenario that the murderer would like LE to believe in order to divert attention from a planned murder.

I guess it is all conjecture at this juncture. . . What a terrible crime....I am so sorry for the victim's loved ones.

 

[Hiandmighty]

Well, she had already been home for hours before she died (presumably based on the timeline??).

I don't think either surprised the other.

The hammer is troubling. A knife, gun or rope is something a killer would arrive with but a hammer???

When was the last time we followed one of these murders and a hammer was used?

Maybe I missed a couple? :thinking:

 

[concernedmother]

Guns can be traced. Hammer alot harder and I imagine more messy.

 

[ATasteOfHoney]

Does the husband have any set of skills to get a job besides working for his now deceased wife?

Yes, I'm glad you asked.....he's great at setting up ******** accounts quickly.

Would a hammer be used to jimmy a door open?

 

[DesertCookie]

Though it's been reported that a hammer was the murder weapon does that mean a hammer was left at the crime scene? or the wounds resembled blunt force trauma from a hammer or similar object? If the weapon used was actually a crowbar (used to jimmie doors) wouldn't it make similar wounds as a hammer?

I don't think he set it up did he? I thought a female did?

I agree. It seems like telling the neighbors not to worry is a telltale sign that it's someone who knew the victim--a crime with a personal motivation behind it. Here are some probably obvious thoughts on who it could be:

HUSBAND: That's obviously the first place the investigation goes just based on probability. But it seems odd that the husband would get a truck/SUV to drive to the house. (Seems like he'd be stealthier than that and catch a cab to a mile away and walk.) Plus, the idea of someone close to her covering for his alibi seems pretty out there.

HITMAN: Also seems weird that a hit man would park in front of the house. And, not likely that the hitman would be so personally angry with her to start yelling. That seems like unprofessional hitman behavior.

This makes me think it's more likely one of these people:

BOYFRIEND: Although kind of risky to drive his SUV/truck over, if he was enraged that she didn't want to see him on her night alone, he might have just wanted in to talk to her...and then things got crazy...and then suddenly he had murdered someone while his truck was parked out front.

PATIENT-RELATED: In her very important work, she would be dealing with people at a time of various distress (hence, the note on the practice door saying "for emergencies, please see X doc). Not all families, partners, husbands and wives are supportive of their loved ones transitioning. It could be that either a patient experiencing great difficulty could have lost it if that person thought the doctor couldn't help them or screwed them over. Or, even more likely, it could be a family member unhappy that she was enabling a transition they were against.

TRAFFIC-RELATED: It sounds like she was touching a very dark world to help girls in terrible situations. She might have learned some information/identities of people running this trade through her work and become a target because of what she could share with LE.

Right now, I'm going with boyfriend. The over-the-top anger seems so personal and disorganized.

I don't think he set it up did he? I thought a female did?

I believe I read that she charged $400 for a visit. She was booked to or through December.

If she did 8 patients a day, that is $3200 a day. She probably saw more than 8 patients a day.

I would think with that kind of income, she could have afforded life insurance.

 

[ATasteOfHoney]

I don't think he set it up did he? I thought a female did?

I've heard a lady friend set up one account & then hubby set up some others, IMO.
Perhaps someone can clarify?
Was one account set up for "legal costs" & the other for the girls' education?
