FL - Dr Teresa Sievers, 46, murdered in home, Bonita Springs, June 2015 #1

[SurfieTX]

AS per the obituary all her siblings lived out of state, not sure how close one could get with TS business partners if that is the case??

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/ctpost/obituary.aspx?pid=175207127

I think it happens sometimes, especially nowadays with Skype, computers, texting, etc. Catfish comes to mind.

 

[Hiandmighty]

I actually wondered that too-- could the be needed money for blackmail? Etc

 

[kammiemc]

Could this killing have been a warning of some sort for a large amount of money owed to someone? The page might be a quick way to come up with enough money to make a quick payoff. I'm also curious as to why the neighbors disliked them so much?

I was thinking about that too! How terrible if the crime was related to money owed and money is still owed, or else. In that case, I wouldn't blame them for trying to get the money by any means possible.

What is the Catfish comparison, out of the loop with this, is it a previous case? I am interested.

 

[No it's not]

I am commenting from a phone and did not manage to quote the post I was referring to first. It was concerning the 6:45 appointment. Thanks to the poster!

 

[kammiemc]

I struggle to see any long term financial benefits her business partner (s) would gain from her death, apart from maybe death insurance payouts/. Basically their income came via referrals from TS. A patient comes to see TS and she refers the patients onto further holistic treatments/nurse care. No TS means no referrals. TS was the business. From where I am sitting the people who will gain most business-wise are those doctors taking on her patients post death, their database will expand overnight (I am not insinuating that those doctors had anything to do with her demise)

Well, not to say that this is the case at all, but one way she could benefit would be to share in $1 mil and part of any life ins policies should someone be inclined to share with her.

I have skipped a few pages, and can't find the info now.
How do we know the neighbors disliked her?

 

[SurfieTX]

This is what I wonder too, which is why I was looking for possible business/corp ties last night (search.sunbiz.org) and found a whole lot of potential for business ties etc most of which remain active.

NOTE: I included the ones for her husband not to sleuth him but because their business ties are clearly intermingled - for example, the primary corporation for her practice RESTORATIVE HEALTH AND HEALING CENTER LLC for some reason only comes up under him as agent

Anyway, these are all corporations either her, her husband, or both a primary for

[Sulamith]

Bumping up this post from yesterday. Not only has there not been an appeal for information, we've been asked not to focus on the murder. Twice in one article.
Lenka Spiska worked side by side with Sievers for the past four years.
She’s hoping, for now, that the public will stop focusing on what happened, and focus instead on the person Sievers was.

While family, friends, and the community wait for answers about what exactly happened, Spiska hopes they change their focus to the message Sievers always preached.

How can anyone stop focusing on "what happened"? Nobody knows what happened. Deflecting much?

 

[cluciano63]

Could be a combo motive, i.e love ad money.
If this is a spousal murder, often a new love, combined with the desire for life insurance money, is the "answer", rather than an expensive divorce. Jmo

 

[pferrin]

Welcome Helper .. Patient of Dr S
We are so sorry for your loss. Jump in to the conversation when you are ready.

 

[pferrin]

I am going with love embezllement money and perhaps writing perscriptions for narcotics without Dr S knowledge

 

[LvsAMystry]

It's even possible Dr. Sievers didn't even know there was no life insurance.

I think it's only been guessed at there possibly not being any life insurance as explanation for the high fund goals, but I don't think it's been verified anywhere there is no life insurance. I would be very surprised if that were the case because term life for example really isn't all that expensive

 

[SurfieTX]

What is the Catfish comparison, out of the loop with this, is it a previous case? I am interested.

It is a show on MTV, and (I say this as a mid 40s someone) is worth watching. It documents how people create fake profiles online and lure others to give them money or even just pretend love. It's amazing how many heartless people are out there. In any event, catfishing isn't always anonymous. Friendships can start, but then turn into something else sometimes.

 

[arizona sunshine]

I have skipped a few pages, and can't find the info now.
How do we know the neighbors disliked her?

We don't. It refers to a link way back when it was noticed that TS house and a neighbor house reported a few episodes of nuisance/harassment and such like. It doesn't show details about 'who' the complaints were about.

 

[SurfieTX]

I struggle to see any long term financial benefits her business partner (s) would gain from her death, apart from maybe death insurance payouts/. Basically their income came via referrals from TS.

From where I am sitting the people who will gain most business-wise are those doctors taking on her patients post death, their database will expand overnight (I am not insinuating that those doctors had anything to do with her demise)

What if there was someone waiting in line to take Dr. Sievers' place? I'm throwing things out there randomly, thinking aloud.

GRACE: And now live to Bonita Springs, Florida. We are getting the latest in the mystery surrounding the murder of a gorgeous young doctor, a

mother of two little girls, Dr. Teresa Sievers, Sievers found murdered in her upscale Florida home while Sievers`s husband and two little daughters

were out of town.

We identified the murder weapon. Will that lead to her killer? Tonight, as the gorgeous young mother and doctor laid to rest, the

investigation into her brutal murder ignites.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Sources close to the investigation tell (INAUDIBLE) news Sievers was killed by a hammer.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Investigators can be seen focusing on a door with what appears to be a broken handle.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Crime scene techs pay special attention to the family`s van, dusted for prints and then towed away from the scene.

Fingerprint dust can also be seen on the fence surrounding the home.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: This is the latest. This is what we know. Joining me, Bob Alexander, news director there at 92.5.

[20:20:04]Bob, thank you for being with us. We understand that police have now taken a special interest in the family van. It was heavily

fingerprinted at the scene. It was taken away, and it is still being processed, now days on end. They`re not returning it.

Interesting. Did she bring that van home from the airport? Why is it of special interest now? What have they learned? Why are they keeping it,

if she drove that van home from the airport? Question -- was someone in the van? Was someone in the van when she got into it at the airport? Was

someone following her?

Also, we know that special interest has been paid to a specific portion of a door and a side gate. Did the perpetrator get out of the van,

go in the front door and out the side gate? And if so, how did he avoid setting off the home alarm?

As Teresa Sievers`s body just cremated, her little girl speaks at her memorial, Bob Alexander, what can you tell us about the family van?

BOB ALEXANDER, 92.5 (via telephone): Well, the one thing we know for sure, Nancy, crime scene technicians were seen taking fingerprints off that

van, using the fingerprint dust on Friday before they took that van away. So they were paying significant attention to that van.

Where that goes from here, we`re not quite sure, but we do know they certainly are paying a lot of attention to it at this point.

GRACE: And that van still not returned. That means to me -- to Joseph Scott Morgan, professor of forensics -- there`s a special interest

in that van that suggests to me that there are fingerprints in there that they can not readily match up to anyone. What do you think, Joseph?

JOSEPH SCOTT MORGAN, FORENSICS PROFESSOR (via telephone): Well, I think that they want to get that van into a controlled environment where

it`s not going to be cross-contaminated in any way, Nancy, so that if there are latent prints there, they`re not going to be compromised in any way.

I think there`s one more issue we need to be completely aware of in this particular case, that the driver behind that -- behind this. And this

is touch DNA, where in this controlled environment, if someone even now -- we have the technology, if somebody just lightly touches an area, they can

transfer DNA in that particular area, we can actually code that DNA with a very small sample.

So all of this is coming into play. And given the nature of this case -- this is a very violent and very intimate case, so we have to think that

there was contact between the perpetrator and the victim, and maybe inside this van, maybe on the door, as well, where they`ll be looking for tool

marks, as well.

GRACE: Tool marks, fingerprints -- all of this we are just learning. You`re seeing Teresa Sievers herself on a YouTube channel.

To Dr. William Morrone joining us, forensic pathologist and renowned medical examiner and toxicologist. She was cremated. Now, that means

there is never any possibility of going back and getting any additional evidence from they are body whatsoever. Dr. Morrone, you know that this

was a violent crime. We know that the murder weapon was a hammer. Analyze.

DR. WILLIAM MORRONE, FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST, MEDICAL EXAMINER: Here`s what I would say. The chances of violence from a stranger are dominant

(ph). The chances of violence from somebody she knew, possibly a family member, are secondary. But once you cremate a body, you lose those

resources.

It always makes me suspicious when somebody is murdered and cremated. If you inter them, you can always cremate them at a later date,

consecrated, sacred, however, the church will follow it.

But the violence which also may be part of the van -- when you have a hammer, the source of the violence and the target of the violence is

usually the head. This will always retain imprints, bruises and damage to be seen at a later date. Once you cremate it, that`s all off the table.

I`m very suspicious, and that`s very disturbing.

GRACE: Well -- with me, Dr. William Morrone, forensic pathologist. I`m concerned about the cremation. Typically, who in the family makes that

decision?

MORRONE: The next of kin, the husband. Now, he should clear it with parents, but it always makes me suspicious that if there was something

going on and he was gone, it`s -- you lose everything. You lose everything in cremation.

[20:25:00]You hope that the pathological samples that are retained -- you hope that the forensic evidence from autopsy is enough. But you can

always -- now, they do take samples. There are samples. There are radiographs. There are CTs. There are imaging, but sometimes, that`s not

enough.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A neighborhood on edge after this doctor and mother of two was found dead inside her Bonita Springs home.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I`m very scared for my safety.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... who believes she may have heard the murder as it happened.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thinking that someone`s going to come in and kill me.

DR. TERESA SIEVERS, PHYSICIAN: To understand it, we as doctors are treating this physical body that we can touch.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

GRACE: You are seeing Dr. Sievers herself of YouTube and DoctorSievers.com.

Bob Alexander, news director, 92.5, I understand the sheriff has made his own observations?

ALEXANDER: Yes, Nancy. This afternoon, Lee County sheriff Mike Scott made his first official statement on the investigation since it began. He

said, Within reason, based on the evidence we have to this point and working it exhaustively, I`m fairly comfortable saying it`s not a random

arbitrary situation, which is a word that I think the entire community has been waiting to hear.

Did Lee County law enforcement believe this was a random act, or could it be something with connectivity? Sheriff Scott seemed to indicate that,

indeed, it was not a random act, according to the information they have to this point.

[20:30:00]

GRACE: Unleash the lawyers. Alex Sanchez, veteran defense lawyer, New York. Troy Slaten, defense attorney out of L.A. And also with me,

renowned pathologist Dr. William Morrone. Okay, first to you, Sanchez, the husband in this case, who was her office manager, is not a suspect. He has

not been named a person of interest. He was out of town in Connecticut at the time she was murdered, with their two young little girls, one of whom

spoke at a four-hour memorial. Alex Sanchez, what does the sheriff mean by it`s not random?

SANCHEZ: I think what he means that the victim in this crime knew who the perpetrator was. And I think he believes this was a targeted attack,

as opposed to some random person walking down the street breaking into the house and committing murder. And the fact that one of the neighbors heard

an argument in the house or heard a man yelling at a woman, and the fact that they`re taking the car away, that`s very suggestive that the police

believe she knew who the person was, and that person came into the house and committed murder.

GRACE: And Dr. William Morrone with us, along with Troy Slaten and Alex Sanchez, to Dr. William Morrone, the sheriff has actually come out and

said this isn`t random. OK? Now, the way I took it, Dr. Morrone, and you and I have seen so many of these cases, when it`s random, you`re not

getting in an argument with the person, they`re coming in to steal your stuff or rape you, and they take all your electronics or your money, boom,

you`re dead, they`re gone. But here, whoever it was actually engaged in an argument, yelling at her.

MORRONE: Here`s what I get from that. Two things, for love or money. Those are the two things that drive people to commit heinous crimes -- love

or money. Which one was it? It could have been a business deal gone bad. It could have been --

GRACE: A business deal? What business deal? She worked at a shelter for unwed mothers. I guess they still call it that. What business deal?

(CROSSTALK)

MORRONE: She may have had nefarious partners. She might be completely innocent, but somebody might have come to her for love or money.

Those are the two things that drive crime.

GRACE: Troy Slaten?

SLATEN: You know, it`s all speculation at this point. The sheriff saying that it`s not a random act could just be an attempt to lure the real

perpetrator of the crime out of the woodwork or lull them into a sense of security.

GRACE: So you`re saying the sheriff coming out point blank and saying this is not random, the killer knew her --

SLATEN: It could be a trick.

GRACE: You`re saying it`s a trick? That he`s pretending?

SLATEN: It could be.

GRACE: The sheriff is making that up?

SLATEN: Police are allowed to lie.

GRACE: All right, Troy Slaten, interesting theory. Back to Bob Alexander, news director, 92.5. Special focus on the family vehicle. It`s

been taken away, has not been returned. They`re getting something from it. They`re not just keeping it for the fun of it. The back door has been

looked at, also the front door. Many speculating the front door was used as an entry and the back door as an exit. We also know that the husband,

according to neighbors, broke down in tears in the middle of the street and all the neighbors observed this. What, if anything, do we know about the

state of the marriage?

ALEXANDER: Well, from everything that we know, Nancy, this was apparently a very stable situation, because they worked together at the

clinic that she established several years ago here in the Southwest Florida area. They were partners. They were seen together socially on a constant

basis together, and with the two daughters out and about, so there has been nothing made to suggest at this point that there were any issues going on

as far as the public word is concerned.

GRACE: In fact, she took a flight home early on a Sunday night and left her family, her husband and two children in Connecticut at a family

get-together with her family. Here is Dr. Siever in her own words.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SIEVER: I didn`t come from the perfect family when I was a kid, although I never had a life anything like these girls go through. I do

like them to know you don`t just wake up one day, become a doctor and have a business and have a perfect life. It requires work. So hopefully I

instill in them hope and a belief they can be anything they want to be.
