The Plot to Kill Dr. Sievers | Full Episode | Forensic Files

[Music] Clark welcome to honor roll rise the case starts on Monday June 29th 2015. hi I'm Dr Teresa Sievers Dr Teresa
Sievers was due at work and she didn't arrive Teresa Seavers is found on her kitchen
floor dead a pool of blood surrounds her head she is cold to the touch this is Dr Teresa Sievers high-profile
doctor did a lot of holistic medicine and people uh you know said that she was just a little Spitfire just a short
little thing and always wearing you know four inch heels clocking around so let's
get started we got a lot of stuff to talk about ladies remember walking into a room meant turning heads
when I got into work that day we were getting word that this 46 year old doctor was dead
this beloved woman in our community had been brutally killed inside her own house
Mark and Teresa have been a couple since 2003 when they got married in a Beachside ceremony in St Petersburg she
was sort of the breadwinner and he was the office manager at her practice and he helped raise the kids
they had a trip planned to New York and Teresa would fly home that Sunday night to be at work Monday morning
so on Sunday night she comes back here to the Southwest Florida International Airport she calls Mark tells him she's
safe and then gets in her car and heads back to their house 9-1-1 when is your emergency
I'm at a friend's house Mark had a friend come and check up on her he's out of town
he's been on the floor and there's hammer Hammer ride and she's bashed in the back of the head it will
later be determined that there are 17 impact wounds to her skull who would possibly want this feisty Florida doctor
dead that question LED investigators on a wild chase that ended more than a thousand miles away with a shocking
arrest of three people a break and the case came from all places from the state of Missouri
or electronic Footprints when you step outside your Home Folks you're always being observed
once you started to unwrap it a little bit it was nutty it was weird and it was hard to keep track of it all this is a
case in which 21st century technology became vital I've been told we have a verdict
foreign [Music] [Music] foreign foreign [Music] I think anytime there is a beautiful
successful woman who was murdered that's sort of what Society pays attention to For Better or For Worse
thank you when you first start on this case would you have ever imagined it would
end up to where it is right now no member of Dr Teresa Sievers in Bonita Springs Florida was a huge story
especially for Jessica Lipscomb who covered crime for the Naples Daily News to think of this mother of two who was
killed brutally inside her home was horrifying to people the doctor had cut short a family
vacation in Upstate New York and had flown home alone on Sunday night June 28 2015. so she could see patients the next
morning do you kind of put yourself in her shoes rolling your suitcase through the door
and then to be attacked by someone from behind it's [Applause] it's hard to imagine
investigators believe that as soon as Dr Sievers walked into her kitchen she was
killed struck repeatedly with a hammer the next morning her office staff got in it's now nine o'clock
now it's 905. now it's 9 15. I said where's doctor Sandra Hoskins was Teresa seaver's
longtime medical assistant I was texting back and forth trying to see if you know where he at and no
response called no answer marks out of town he says I can't get a hold of her either how unusual was it for Dr severs
not to show up even if it was nine o'clock and three seconds after you would hear her heels coming in
it was just so unbelievable when Connie Reese heard the tragic news she contacted her stepbrother Mark sivers
the doctor's husband how did he react to the death of his wife he couldn't speak
he's not the kind of guy that has been a really emotional on the outside but he couldn't speak
Connie and Mark became family when her mother married his father I asked him what happened to Teresa and
what did he say no idea Mark met his future wife in 2003 when he was visiting Saint Petersburg Florida
pretty much love at first sight well I think by the time that he introduced her to mom I think he was pretty much done
he was off the market officially yeah really he was working as a nurse while she was a recently divorced physician
Teresa hung the moon she was a remarkable human being and very special and that's the way Mark treated it from
the beginning it just you could hear it in his voice they were married on the beach
surrounded by friends and family including stepmother Jenny weckelman was a sunset wedding and she had a
beautiful gown it was very nice was he happy on that day oh my gosh he was very happy
six months later their first daughter was born the Seavers built a large house in Bonita Springs and in 2007 welcomed
another daughter how did Mark feel about being a dad it was everything to him they were his
reason for being but he was also all about Teresa and her mission we talk about our physical health mental
health that mission was to open a holistic practice where she could heal patients by blending traditional and
alternative medicine she also spread her message in speeches and videos there's our spiritual and energetic Health we
would have patients from all over the world they would come to us after they failed everything else
she wouldn't take no for an answer talking about the doctor still makes Sandra emotional
and as a patient she wouldn't allow you to say I'm never going to get better while patients love the doctor Sandra
and her husband Frank pays who also worked at the practice admit it wasn't always easy working for Sievers she had
a short fuse I would hear Dr screaming and yelling in back office Dr severs would yell at the
Patients she was there to help you get better didn't have what they call the bedside manner would she yell at you
yes yeah a wrist is a problem she expected Perfection and if it wasn't perfect she would get upset because I need to
maintain my mental sharpness she was a big presence and sometimes that meant that she got really feisty with people
she was the biggest figure in the room while Teresa took care of her patients Mark managed her office and took care of
their daughters the girls were his pride and joy and according to her sister Annie Lisa Teresa was equally devoted to
Mark Theresa always said I'll never leave Mark and we'll ever do it to my girls nevertheless within weeks Mark sivers
became a person of interest did he cooperate initially oh yes I think he thought he was doing the right thing
Mark spoke to investigators without a lawyer present and even handed over his cell phone and allowed them to download
the contents was he worried he might be arrested he thought why would they what kind of evidence could they
possibly have because I didn't do anything in fact Mark sivers had an airtight alibi
at the time of Teresa's murder he and their two girls were with Teresa's family hundreds of miles away in New
York foreign [Music] was murdered friends and family came together for her funeral including
Mark's stepmother Jenny wackelman there were a lot of people yes yeah and and it
was sad of course almost all her patients were there I was numb Mark Sievers reportedly had a gun
strapped to his waist at his wife's funeral strange well perhaps but her killer hadn't yet been arrested and
according to stepsister Connie Reese Mark was on edge he was very much in protective mode when you say protective
mode what do you mean well I think you know he always keeps an eye in the ear to the ground so to speak and is aware
of his surroundings and you know he he was concerned for their their safety I think it was in the back
of his mind that that there might be some danger to his daughters because of what happened to their mother
it just didn't make any sense who would want the vibrant and dedicated Dr Theresa siever's dead and white killer
with such anger and force could have been anybody I really thought maybe it was just somebody that
was in the area and broken or something there were signs of a forced entry primarks on a side door but Mark's
extensive gun collection and forty thousand dollars in cash discovered inside the Seavers home hadn't been
touched so when this happened everyone wanted to know what happened with the alarm and as
it turns out it hadn't been activated while the family was on vacation Market asked his mother Bonnie Sievers to feed
the family pets she had trouble setting the alarm that Sunday and told detectives her son Mark said not to
worry about it Monday morning Dr severs was discovered dead on her kitchen floor
[Music] this is Mark's mother speaking to investigators so I really feel that it's my fault but
you can't you cannot blame yourself [Music] around the time of Dr seaver's murder
the internet was buzzing with reports about The suspicious deaths of other alternative doctors in the U.S
did Mark think that her death might be connected with that yes yes he did but with no real evidence to make that
connection investigators turned their attention to the people who might have had an ax to
Grime with the energetic often abrasive Dr Sievers I think the theory that I heard was that maybe it was a patient
obviously they were interviewing all of her friends and family members so it was pretty much like a wide open
field of suspects at that point then a surprising name emerged in her police interview Dr seaver's sister
Annie Lisa said she heard Sandra Hoskins was a disgruntled employee that's the same Sandra who seemed so upset by Dr
Sever's death but you may not like your boss but you don't bad-mouth them to patients that
are coming in the doors like Dr Sievers you know she's in the phone she's a well I'm like oh my God they think I did
it Sandra who claims she had been treated harshly by Dr severs in the past had planned to hand in a resignation
that very Monday the doctor was found dead according to Sandra the doctor told her she was bringing bad energy to the
office now I know why I was not received very well at her Memorial why would anyone think that you did this
that is shocking to me a lot of the patients did know the way she treated me and so people thought maybe you just
had enough yeah Sandra Hoskins was cleared when nearly two months after Dr severs was murdered
there was a stunning break in the case police made arrests and the suspects were not from Florida
so we showed up to a press conference I believe that August and the sheriff gets up there and tells us
simply the name of the first suspect Jimmy Rogers and he says he's from Missouri and he's
been booked for the murder of Teresa Sievers never heard of him because I thought oh well who is he and
what's he got to do with this and then about an hour later he calls us in again and says we've now picked up a second
suspect Curtis Wayne Wright also from Missouri it was so shocking to solve this murder investigators would
Travel More Than A Thousand Miles and they were in for a wild ride they would soon discover this case had as many
twists and turns as the Missouri River foreign [Music] hours will continue [Music]
Teresa Sievers was bludgeoned to death with a hammer neighbors are still waiting for answers said to my husband
today the two arrests for Teresa siever's murder made 1100 miles away in Missouri
seemed to come out of the blue Mark's stepmother Jenny weckelman why you know what's going on just seemed like such a
disconnect no one had ever heard of the suspect Jimmy Ray Rogers but it was the mug shot of the other suspect Wayne
Wright that struck everyone he had an uncanny resemblance to the victim's husband Mark Sievers they look alike
yeah at least in pictures they look like twins and that's and that's that's when
I've started to believe you know that definitely there is not something right with with Curtis Swain right
as it turns out Curtis Wayne Wright he goes by Wayne was no stranger to Mark's family it was Mark's very good friends
and ages and ages so I didn't believe it I didn't it just didn't make sense Wayne
and Mark had grown up together in Missouri Wayne was a Teresa's funeral he had celebrated Mark and Teresa's wedding
with them and just two months before the murder Mark had been Wayne's best man at
his wedding Wayne was also a familiar face around the office did you two know Wayne Wright how did
you know him hey who's the computer guy that was just like Mark Wayne would travel from Missouri to Florida to work
on the computers in Dr seaver's office how would you describe Wayne he was geeky all he wanted to do was get the
computers up and running Focus but to me he just seemed like a very geeky creepster did he make you nervous a
little bit I can't explain it it's just a woman's intuition how would you describe Mark and Wayne's relationship
they appear to be close friends yeah he always say he's my brother from another mother yeah that was his lingo
back in Hillsboro Missouri Greg Bolin knew both Mark and Wayne when they both had hair this here is Hillsboro
Elementary School this is where me and Wayne met for the very first time in third grade
and remembers his high school classmate Wayne as a tech whiz the kid voted most dependable and as a fun guy to hang
around with he actually ran for and became our class president smart very smart quite honestly he was one of the
smartest people with computers that I ever met but it wasn't long before Greg suspected Wayne Wright had a dark side
in 1996 Greg's brother Ronnie Bolin a preacher mysteriously disappeared his body has never been found and according
to police Ronnie was last seen with Wayne do you believe Wainwright killed your brother yes I do you have no
question about that I have no doubt in my mind Greg believes the motive was money that
Wayne owed Ronnie reporter Jessica Lipscomb they found his car with the car keys still in the ignition in a car wash
in St Louis Wayne has never been charged in Ronnie's disappearance but he is listed in a police report as a person of
interest and Wayne's no stranger to the criminal justice system in 2011 he was serving time for drug possession
when he befriended the other suspect and Dr Sever's murder a young inmate named Jimmy Ray Rogers who was doing time on a
weapons charge you can just tell he needed a job he wanted a job you know Jimmy was released from jail I'll show
you Tyler Juliet and Jeff Conway hired him to work at a Contracting Company he liked to tell a lot of stories a lot of
things he told at the time nobody really believed Jimmy he liked to brag a little
bit about the things he had done in the past a colorful criminal past he says Jimmy would brag about con jobs ranging
from stolen merchandise to counterfeit money I never felt Jimmy was dangerous guy I
just felt like he was blow hard honestly you know I really felt like he was just
a talker come recalls that he had asked Jimmy to work on Monday June 29th but Jimmy texted him back and said he
wasn't available all it said was I can't do that I'm still in Florida it was on June 29th the Dr Teresa
Sievers was discovered bludgeoned to death with a hammer inside her Florida home
and it didn't go unnoticed to investigators that Jimmy Ray Rogers had a unique nickname supposedly Jimmy
Rogers nickname was the hammer but I think that was more of like a self-given nickname if you talk to some of his
friends from high school they say nobody really called him that but I think maybe
going to jail for the first time you know trying to make a name for himself maybe that's something he sort of
assigned himself to fit in why was Jimmy the hammer Rogers in Florida that fateful weekend was Wainwright with him
and what led authorities to believe they were involved in a doctor's murder why would Wayne try to look like Mark
see more evidence from the case on Facebook at 48 hours tonight's 48 hours will continue
back in June 2015 practically everyone in Hillsboro Missouri knew that Wainwright was planning a weekend trip
out of town he let it slip to lots of people that he was going down to Florida told some
people he was even going to visit the seabirds and it wasn't long before police got a tip that Wayne had been in
Florida at the time of Dr Sever's murder and he hadn't gone there alone he went with his jailhouse pal Jimmy the hammer
Rogers Jimmy's boss Jeff Conway he told me a story that his brother had graduated
from law school and that he had invited Jimmy down to Florida for the weekend all expenses paid
but he told his pregnant girlfriend Taylor's showmaker another story he was going out of town for a few days to work
with Wayne he had told her that he was going down to Florida to make some money weeks after Jimmy and Wayne returned
detectives from Florida showed up in Hillsboro Missouri they confronted Wayne about that tip placing him in Florida
but he refused to talk he didn't need to a rental car GPS gave the cops what they
needed to know on the morning of June 27 2015 Wainwright got into a rental car here in
Hillsboro Missouri and then went to pick up Jimmy Ray Rogers at some point this address was put into the GPS and then
the two men took off for the 1100 mile ride to Bonita Springs Florida after driving all day and all night on
Sunday June 28th Wayne and Jimmy arrived at the Sievers home the Bonita Springs address it's all right there in the GPS
a digital footprint for investigators when Jimmy and Wayne arrived around 6 a.m authorities believe they turned off
the house alarm that may explain why Mark's mother Bonnie was so confused about the alarm system
I was not there at 609 in the morning he was 10 for 609 that's what we're trying to work oh my
God then according to the GPS Jimmy and Wayne left the Sievers home and typed in
another address for a Walmart to do some shopping obviously looking at that security
footage from the Walmart they're able to pretty quickly determine that that's who
who was with Wayne they made no effort to cover their faces disguise themselves they just Waltz
through like they were anyone else they bought among other things trash bags flushable wet wipes black towels
black shoes and a lock picking kit they paid cash for their purchase with a hundred dollar bill after shopping at
Walmart Jimmy and Wayne continued using the navigation system even to find the beach and soak up some sun
does it make any sense that this guy who was so good with computers would have left such a trail it does but it doesn't
uh to a lot of people looking at it it kind of makes it look like you know these guys were just dumb and dumber but
that's a lot of how he operated after their beach trip according to police affidavits Wayne and Jimmy returned to
the Sievers home where they hung out for hours in the garage waiting for an unsuspecting Dr sivers to
arrive in the early morning hours of Monday June 29th the GPS again shows Jimmy and
Wayne on the highway headed Northbound for the 17-hour drive back to Missouri the electronic Trail would eventually
lead detectives to Jimmy Ray Rogers door but like Wayne he denied he had anything
to do with the murder but when police brought in Jimmy's girlfriend Taylor's showmaker during the sort of told truth
the whole truth and nothing but the truth correct yes what a story she had to tell
Jimmy Ray Rogers took his girlfriend Taylor for a ride right along here Route 47 in rural Missouri
[Applause] and along this road he asked her to throw out parts of his cell phone which
he had smashed earlier some gloves and a jumpsuit he said throw this in the river and it
took me a minute to cook in and then I threw a little gloves out and then I threw out the toes
did you ask why or you just did it well I just did it I was scared Taylor told police that's when she
pushed Jimmy to tell her exactly what happened in Florida and he told me about using a hammer on her
okay and he said that he killed Teresa Seaver Mark's wife yes with a hammer yes Florida detectives now thought they knew
who killed Teresa Sievers but they still didn't know the why why would Wayne Wright want to kill his best friend's
wife did everyone then say oh my gosh Mark had to be involved definitely I mean there was really no putting Wayne in
Florida in Bonita Springs inside their house without Mark knowing about it did it occur to either one of you that
Mark might be involved no not even a thought in the back of your mind no no absolutely not
but when investigators downloaded Mark's cell phone they discovered the Sievers marriage was more troubled than anyone
guessed despite having forty thousand dollars in cash around the house they had serious financial problems and when
investigators discovered five insurance policies on Teresa totally more than four million dollars it was a big red
flag foreign had told police that Teresa's death was a murder for hire and that Jimmy was
supposed to be paid ten thousand dollars and then asked him how to make money and
it was murdering Mark's life he said that Mark hired Wayne yes and Wayne hired him Mark didn't know anything
about Jimmy being hired where's the money supposed to come from insurance from her death okay and did you ever get
paid no then almost eight months after Teresa siever's murder Wayne Wright Marx look-alike best friend suddenly turned
on him and took a deal Mr Wright why are you pleading guilty today to second-degree murder
Wainwright admitted killing Teresa I'm I'm pleading guilty because of my role in the planning and participating of the
murders tree receivers he said the murder was all Mark's idea and that's what police needed
Mark did you hire Wayne Wright to kill your wife Mark Sievers was charged with the murder of his wife did you hire
anyone to kill your wife but siever's stepsister says he would never risk losing his children she believes Wayne
Wright had long envied his best friend's life and he's the one who killed Teresa
on his own why would Wayne kill Teresa because he's a sick man do you think Wayne was jealous of Mark
I think it's possible whether he's jealous of Mark or wanted to be Mark I don't I don't have any clue family and
friends point to how Wayne Wright began to model himself after Sievers even shaving his own head when Sievers
started to go bald Greg Bolin they didn't look alike when we were younger how much they they morphed into each
other over the years thank you if it was by chance or by their plan I don't know
[Music] more than four years after Curtis Wainwright cut that deal to testify against Mark sivers and ex-con Jimmy
Rogers the two men go on trial but separately Roger's case went first October 2019.
Teresa siever's mother and siblings were in the courtroom this case was about the perfect marriage
the perfect friendship the perfect alibi the perfect murder assistant State Attorney Hameed Hunter
told the jury that Teresa siever's death was a classic case of murder For Hire Mark Sievers was miles away while Curtis
Wayne Wright and Jimmy Ray Rogers killed his wife Mr Wright hit her with the hammer
hit her again [Music] Mr Rogers came out of nowhere Mr Rogers engages with his hammer and he starts
hitting her hitting her hitting her Rogers defense attorney Kathleen fitzgeorge what you heard from the state
attorney is what they believe or expect or hope the evidence will show but it's a bumpy road because they
haven't told you everything foreign [Music] [Music] State actually believes Teresa Sievers
was killed with two hammers but only one was discovered on the siever's kitchen floor they showed the jury that weapon
and the damaging video evidence of the two men near the crime scene is this how you found this jumpsuit when
you took it into your custody on the side of the road in Cadet Missouri yes a fiber from the jumpsuit worn by Rogers
was found on Teresa's body [Music] this time the state calls Taylor showmaker Roger's former girlfriend Taylor
showmaker appeared shaken when she entered the courtroom she identified that blue jumpsuit
says jumpsuit and told the jury Rogers confessed to her and then asked them how well how and
he said with a hammer then the state called their star Witness State calls Curtis right in exchange for
his testimony at both trials Wright was allowed to plead guilty to second-degree
murder and will spend 25 years in prison Mr Wright who killed Dr Teresa Sievers uh
I did Jimmy Rogers how many times did you hit Dr Seavers with that hammer and three Mr Rogers came from somewhere and
he started hitting her what did he do just just started hitting her over and over how would you describe how I was
hitting her and a frenzy [Music] Rogers did not testify and his attorney Donald McFarland called No Witnesses but
told jurors they should not believe Curtis Wayne Wright Curtis Wright's the only one who ever hit that woman
and he's lying to you to save his own worthless skin Jimmy didn't have a hammer the jury was out nearly two days and
then I've been told we have a verdict is the state ready the defendant is guilty of second-degree
murder Rogers showed no emotion he was sentenced to life in prison and then in November 2019 Mark Sievers
went on trial for the murder of his wife he spent much of the prior three years in jail still denying he had any
involvement and his family was still behind him just haven't seen any evidence that makes any sense as far as Mark
being involved both his stepmother Jenny and stepsister Connie vowed to support him through the
trial I will do everything that I can to be there are you nervous about it yeah yeah please be seated Mark Sievers
charged with first-degree murder of his wife appeared unfazed even though he faced the death penalty the same
prosecutors who tried Jimmy Rogers will use much of the same evidence in front of a different jury this is in case case
in which 21st century technology became vital cell towers cell tower dumps call detail records that allowed massive
amounts of data to be sorted organized and searched but siever's defense attorney Michael Mummert says
all that evidence only points to Curtis Wright and Jimmy Rogers as The Killers heard of swings that hammer
right on the side of the head followed by another one across the bridge of the nose
Curtis says I struck Teresa three times in the head with a hammer but Jimmy did the rest
testifying again is Jimmy Rogers former girlfriend Taylor showmaker now with a new look she says her ex was promised a
Payday but she can't connect Sievers to it and did he tell you how much money he
expected to be making from this yes and what did he tell you I think it was ten thousand
the case again comes down to that star witness Curtis Wayne Wright who will now come face to face with his mirror image
and once closest friend [Music] Mr Wright who killed Dr Teresa Sievers hi Jimmy Rogers and I physically did it
at uh Mark Sievers was also involved in the planning for several hours Wright testified against Sievers the man he
affectionately called his brother from another mother why did you do it [Music] um I was asked to do it
bye home Mr Sievers Wright told the jury that Sievers and his wife were having marital and money
problems and that Sievers believe Teresa was planning to leave him and take the kids
the only option that he had was for her to die and he said that he needed to have her
killed when the judge asked Mark Sievers if he wanted to testify okay foreign this time the jury was out just four
hours the families gathered in the court for the verdict the jury find as follows as to the
defendant in this case count one first degree murder the defendant is guilty of first-degree murder
first began to cry in addition to the guilty verdict the jury asked the judge to sentence Sievers to death
[Music] this is how former employee Frank pays felt before the trial what should happen
to Mark sivers he's facing the death penalty I I think the death penalty is the easy way out
think the the pain and torture that he deserves is to sit in jail to the rest of his life
thinking about his true pride and joy daughters that should be his punishment [Music]
on January 3rd 2020 Mark Sievers now a convicted killer returned to court to find out if he will get life in prison
or be sentenced to death is it okay if I refer to my notes yes sir absolutely this time he agreed to speak to plead
for his life although a jury found me guilty and innocent of all charges as I've
maintained since his heinous crime took place our girls have tragically lost their
mommy and now they're about to lose their daddy as well it didn't long for the judge to rule I judge uh
people's actions I don't judge people's Souls that's for somebody else to do sir I'm going to go ahead and adjudicate
to guilty on each count on the first count first degree murder and it's the order of the court that you be sentenced
to death sir [Music] for Teresa's family it's the end of an agonizing nearly five-year wait for
justice this has been an incredible nightmare from the beginning Teresa took down three guys
it took her from us he was my Modern Day Mother Teresa I always call her that [Music]
because she always was trying to help people our Focus now you should go on to take care take care
of the girls and uh give them the love and support that they need and we're glad
that it's over justice has been served [Music] the Sievers children are being raised by
Teresa's family [Music] the judge denied Mark siever's request for a new trial there's some questions that have to be
asked and need to be answered you're rolling okay this is the building let's move quickly Peter Van Sant with CBS
News here we go do it you flunked a polygraph test I'm innocent do you still believe in your husband's innocence did
