I mean, she was bludgeoned over and 177 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 8: over and over and over.

Never turned 222 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: a person away. Tiny, diminutive woman. I think she was 223 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: about four to eleven, and that's important because she always 224 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: wore high heels. Okay, and to you know, give her 225 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 1: a little height, and she still had on her heels, 226 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: or at least one of them when she was found. Dad. 227 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: She just flown in from Connecticut. Her husband and children 228 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 1: still in Connecticut.

You're loving them, You're helping them through 248 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: all life's curveballs. These two little girls are with dad 249 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: at a Connecticut vacation with extended family. Their mom is gone. 250 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you break something like that to 251 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: two little girls, Ashley, Yeah, you. 252 00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 9: Know, I don't know, Nancy, you can't even imagine because 253 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 9: depending on the age, they don't even necessarily understand what 254 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 9: that means. And so every day they're going to still 255 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,240 Speaker 9: look for their mom and wonder where their mom is 256 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 9: and try to grasp what it means that she's literally 257 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,640 Speaker 9: gone forever. But the other thing that bothers me is, 258 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 9: of course it happens that one spouse is somewhere with 259 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 9: the kids and the other spouse has to travel back 260 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 9: to work. But this, to me was the beginning of 261 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 9: the story, to say, she's in Connecticut with the kids. 262 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,480 Speaker 7: She's here it home, and. 263 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 9: It happens to then get killed the first night. Does 264 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 9: this mean anything or not? 265 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 1: Take a listen to the questions the nine one one 266 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: operator poses to doctor Petredes. 267 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 9: Okay, and so you were there because. 268 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 1: They asked you to take care of the house. 269 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 8: Is that correct? 270 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: Mark? Her husband called me to say, please can you 271 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: check on her because it's not like her not to 272 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: show up to work in you late? 273 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 7: Okay? 274 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: So, and I know you told him before. 275 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 4: But when after he called the chuck and his wife because. 276 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 3: She wasn't at work. 277 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: In parently talking one okay, he gave me the code number. 278 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: He sounded a little, you know. 279 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 7: And you see the call from work saying she wasn't there. 280 00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know that's playing. You know he's her 281 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: office manager. 282 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 4: Why she's the office manager of his business. 283 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: No, he's the office manager of her medical practis okay? 284 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: Right there, We're getting a lot of clarification. Did you 285 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: hear that? To Amanda Hall, our special guest joining us 286 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,800 Speaker 1: from w I in k Wink TV Fort Myers, this 287 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: is in her backyard. So this is a common misconception. 288 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: The nine one one operators trying to figure out how 289 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: this calm, cool, collected coworker, a male coworker happens to 290 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: show up at the home to find a dead body, 291 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 1: and he says that the husband, Mark severs out of 292 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: town far away, calls and says he found out she 293 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 1: wasn't at work and had him go over and check 294 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,680 Speaker 1: on doctor Severs. His wife gives him the burglary code, 295 00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: the burglar alarm code. Why would he know that because 296 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,600 Speaker 1: he's the office manager. And at first you hear the 297 00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: nine one call operators say oh, she's his office manager, 298 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: and he says, no, Amanda Hall, tell me, what's your 299 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,919 Speaker 1: understanding is how did doctor Patriti's end up on the 300 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: same to find a dead body? Because I always look 301 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 1: at who finds the body and who calls nine on one, 302 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 1: because that tells me a lot circumstantially. 303 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:14,199 Speaker 5: She guess it does Nancy. 304 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 8: And the reason that he was there is because he 305 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 8: was called by her husband, Mark. Mark was alerted that 306 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,400 Speaker 8: she hadn't shown up for work, which is very unlike her. 307 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,959 Speaker 8: You know, Teresa flew home a day ahead of the 308 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 8: rest of the family just so that she could be 309 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 8: at work Monday morning. She had a late flight in 310 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 8: Sunday night and was to see patients Monday morning. So 311 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,840 Speaker 8: when Monday morning rolled around and she wasn't there, the 312 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,960 Speaker 8: staff called Mark, who ran the office, and said, hey, 313 00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 8: we haven't we haven't heard from doctor Severs. She's not here. 314 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: I want you to take a listen to what our 315 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: friends at ABC News says. 316 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 10: Severs return to Florida alone, calling her husband to let 317 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 10: him know she'd arrived safely. When she didn't show up 318 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,760 Speaker 10: for work Monday morning, worried colleagues called police, who discovered 319 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 10: her body. 320 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 1: Hearing our friends there at local ABC, the crime scene overwhelming. 321 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: But as Amanda Hall just told you, the crime scene 322 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 1: seemed staged because no money was taken. There was a 323 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: cash of guns there as well, Amanda Hall, I've never 324 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 1: known there to have been alleged any type of sex attack. 325 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 1: Is that correct? 326 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 5: Correct? 327 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: So she's bludgeoned dead in the kitchen and is my 328 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: understanding her pocket book was there too, righte, Amanda? 329 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:37,240 Speaker 7: Right? 330 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 8: She came home, pulled into the garage and went from 331 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 8: the garage into the house and that's where she was attacked. 332 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: You know, my first thought that when this happened was 333 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,679 Speaker 1: the burglar alarm. James Shelnutt And James, I'm this is 334 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 1: not a plug. But I'm coming out with a book 335 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 1: in June called Don't Be a Victim, And I had 336 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: to research and I included this case case after case 337 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 1: after case after case regarding burglar alarms locking your doors. 338 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,680 Speaker 1: That night, that day I heard about doctor Teresa Severs 339 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,399 Speaker 1: being murdered. My first question was, what about a burglar alarm. 340 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: It's hard for me to believe that a medical doctor 341 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: with an office manager, husband, and two little babies to 342 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: take care of doesn't have a burglar alarm. I mean, 343 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: you can get a burglar alarm for ninety nine dollars 344 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 1: that covers your whole house, and why wouldn't they have 345 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 1: a burglar alarm? Then I found out, James, they did 346 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,359 Speaker 1: have a burglar alarm, and that was a brain twister 347 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 1: for me. 348 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 7: James, Yeah, absolutely, And so from everything I've researched, the 349 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 7: indicse that Mark Severs had actually told, I believe it 350 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 7: was either his mother or her mother not to set 351 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 7: the burglar alarm because he was afraid that the pets 352 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 7: may set the alarm off. 353 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: Husband, Mark Severs convicted and the murder of his wife, Teresa, 354 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: the mother of his childre wants Rogers Curtis Rogers to 355 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: testify for him and his attempt to get off death row. Hmmm, 356 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 1: did anybody think these two might be helping each other? 357 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 1: Has that dawned on anyone well, those two can plot 358 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 1: and plan and scheme all they want, gnashing their teeth 359 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: and twitching their tails. But this is what we learned 360 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: in court as to the death the murder of doctor Severs. 361 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 10: Severs was a popular fixture in her community. 362 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 3: She had the quality like a mother Teresa. 363 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: She cared and she had nothing more than love. 364 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 8: If she had nothing else to offer, it would be 365 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 8: her care and her love for the patient. 366 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 1: Thinking about doctor Teresa Severs, and you were just hearing 367 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,399 Speaker 1: about how she was often called mother Teresa because of 368 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: the way that she treated her patients in the community. 369 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: That was ABC News reporter Rina, But I want you 370 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: to take a listen to something very odd that happened 371 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: at the funeral. 372 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 11: We were seeing her sisters on one side, and the 373 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 11: look that we were getting wasn't a look of sadness. 374 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 11: It was a look of hatred. 375 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 3: Frank Pays and his wife Sandra say, the look didn't 376 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: just come from doctor Sever's sisters. They were getting the 377 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,400 Speaker 3: same look from the grieving widower. 378 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 11: I hugged him, What do you say, I said, Mark, 379 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,920 Speaker 11: I am so sorry. I don't have words to say 380 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,920 Speaker 11: to you. And he squeezed me so tight, and nothing 381 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 11: came out of his mouth. Then Sandra hugged him. And 382 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 11: when Mark hugged Sandra, his teeth grinted. And it wasn't 383 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 11: nothing of sorrow or sadness. The look was hatred. I 384 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,120 Speaker 11: stepped back. 385 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: I said, Holy, you are hearing our friend. I know 386 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: you recognize that voice. Aaron Moriarty CBS forty eight hours. 387 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: A look of hate at the funeral and doctor Bethany 388 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 1: Marshall psychologists joining me out of la Doctor Bethany, it's 389 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: not that looking back, he concocted this at the time, 390 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: he said he recoiled and was shot at the look 391 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: on the husband's face. Why did he somehow blame her family? Why? 392 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 1: Why would hatred be a part of a funeral. That's 393 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: the first thing after a death that's unsolved. You start 394 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: looking at the crime scene, then at the funeral. 395 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 4: Nancy, can you imagine going to a funeral Teresa Severs's dad, 396 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 4: her husband's there. You expect him to be crying and grieving, 397 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:48,240 Speaker 4: and instead he's looking at a former employee with hatred. 398 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 4: It tells me, first of all, he's worried about all 399 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 4: the wrong things. But he's been worried about all the 400 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 4: wrong things all along, he disarms the alarm because of 401 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 4: the pets. His wife's coming home alone, he stays behind 402 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 4: with the girls. If he's a real man, why not 403 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 4: go home with your wife and help facilitate her going 404 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 4: back to work. He's the office manager while she's out 405 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 4: there seeing patients. I mean, on the face of it, 406 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 4: nothing wrong with that. But he's sending her out to 407 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 4: work while he's doing the easy work behind the desk. 408 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 4: I mean, all along this whole story, this husband has never. 409 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 1: Acted like a husband. 410 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 4: So the fact that he is glaring hatefully at one 411 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 4: of the attendees of the funeral tells me that he's 412 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 4: actually trying. If he indeed is the one who did it, 413 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 4: he's trying to shift the blame onto somebody else. 414 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,640 Speaker 1: Let me go to Amanda Hall, special guest joining us 415 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,479 Speaker 1: from wi KTV Fort Myers, Florida. Amanda, what do we 416 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 1: know about the husband? And yes, I know he was 417 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: in Connecticut at the time. What do we know about 418 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 1: Mark Severs? Where's he from? What's his deal? 419 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 8: Well, we know that the two met while he was 420 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 8: a nurse and she was a new doctor practicing in 421 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 8: Saint Petersburg, Florida. Know that they married very quickly had 422 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 8: their first daughter shortly after they were married on the beach. 423 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 8: They had two girls, eleven and eight years old at 424 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 8: the time, and he became the office manager of her practice, 425 00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 8: propping her up to do what she did best, and 426 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 8: that was treating people with a blend of traditional medicine 427 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 8: and holistic medicine. And he was really the more of 428 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 8: the caregiver for the two girls. Neighbors said that they 429 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 8: always saw him, you know, outside playing with them and 430 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 8: attending to the two daughters. 431 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: Where did you tell me he's from Amanda. 432 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 8: To start with, Mark Severs grew up in a little 433 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 8: small town in Missouri. 434 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: Hmm, okay, I want to go to doctor Tim Gallagher 435 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: medical examiner. I want you to describe, if you could, 436 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: the wounds to doctor Sever's body. And again there was 437 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: no sex attack and no theft or burglary from her 438 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 1: person or the home. 439 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,879 Speaker 6: So her wound were concentrated mostly on the back of 440 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 6: her head, so they were the crescent shaped impressions that 441 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 6: a hammer would make when they strike soft flesh. So 442 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 6: she had lacerations to the back of her head. Who 443 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 6: was extensive bleeding. There was a physical brain damage done 444 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 6: the shards of the broken skull had penetrated into her 445 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 6: brain and there was massive bleeding. 446 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: What did you just say about sharge of the skull. 447 00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 6: Well, when the skull is broken, they're broken into very 448 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 6: sharp pieces. And as the attack continues, as the hammer 449 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 6: keeps now striking these pieces of bone, these loose pieces 450 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 6: of sharp bone are now being driven into the actual brain, 451 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 6: causing the tearing of the brain tissue and cutting of 452 00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 6: the blood vessels as supply blood to the brain. 453 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to think about this massive attack on 454 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: this tiny woman and Amanda Hall reporter w I and 455 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: k TV in Fort Myer's Amanda most of the blows 456 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: or to the back of the head. Did she ever 457 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: even get a chance to fight back? 458 00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 8: No, Nancy, she didn't. You know, she rolled her suitcase 459 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,400 Speaker 8: into an attack and ambush. 460 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: So her suitcase was still sitting there. 461 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 8: Her suitcase was still in the garage. She had just 462 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,919 Speaker 8: you know, walked in the door, hadn't had a chance 463 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 8: to unpack anything, hadn't even had a chance to change 464 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 8: your clothes or do anything. 465 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 1: This is telling me so much about the attack.

Somebody. I mean, it's 468 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: no coincidence that somebody is right there in the kitchen 469 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: as she walks in from the garage, parts her car 470 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: in the garage, gets your suitcase out of the car, 471 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 1: still sitting there in the garage. She walks in the 472 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,760 Speaker 1: kitchen and bam, she's attacked. Nothing stolen, nothing taken from her, 473 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 1: not her pocketbook, her selfhe nothing, all that money they 474 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: had hidden in various spots, the guns that the husband kept, 475 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: nothing taken, no sex attack.

They're waiting for 477 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,320 Speaker 1: her to come through that garage door. 478 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, all of this adds up to the fact that 479 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 7: you need to start looking at someone who is closely 480 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 7: connected to this victim. 481 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,120 Speaker 6: This is not something random. 482 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 7: There's too many coincidences. The coincidence about the husband, you know, 483 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 7: not flying back, the coincidence about the alarm not being set, 484 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 7: she walks into a house. There's no other motive evident 485 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 7: at that point.

That 512 00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 1: often joke that they're brothers from another mother. They look 513 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: identical to each other. And they grew up together and 514 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: went to high school together. What were they doing in town? 515 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: What were they doing near Teresa Sever's home? A real 516 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: red flag? As then raised listened to Aaron Moriarty. 517 00:29:56,440 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 3: When investigators uncovered five life insurance Paula's for Teresa totally 518 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,920 Speaker 3: more than four million dollars, it was a red flag. 519 00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 3: So was that trip Mark made to Missouri to be 520 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 3: Wainwright's best man. And as it turns out, the other suspect, 521 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,160 Speaker 3: Jimmy Ray Rogers, was also a wedding guest. Taylor's shoemaker. 522 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 3: Jimmy's girlfriend claimed this was a murder for hire and 523 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 3: that Jimmy was supposed to be paid ten thousand dollars. 524 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 3: Eight months after Teresa Severs was killed, Wayne Wright facing 525 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 3: a possible death sentence, suddenly turned on his brother from 526 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 3: another mother, and he took a deal. 527 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: You were hearing our friend Aaron Moriarty straight out to 528 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 1: Amanda Hale, reporter w I in KTV Fort Myers. How 529 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,480 Speaker 1: did these three hook up? Tell me the whole thing, 530 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: Amanda Hall. 531 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 8: Okay, Wayne Wright is a childhood friend. As you heard 532 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,280 Speaker 8: of Mark Seavers. They called themselves brothers from another mother, 533 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 8: but they really looked like real brothers. They looked like twins. 534 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 8: So wain Wright is getting married and Mark Severs is 535 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:13,960 Speaker 8: his best man, and they started planning this while he was. 536 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 5: There for the wedding. 537 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 8: Mark is saying that his wife is going to leave 538 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:23,479 Speaker 8: him and he's worried that he can't pay to battle 539 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,400 Speaker 8: her for custody of their two daughters, and that his 540 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 8: only option is for Teresa to die, and so he 541 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,600 Speaker 8: hires Wayne to do the job, says he'll pay him 542 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 8: one hundred thousand dollars from the insurance money, and then 543 00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 8: Wayne brings in Jimmy the Rogers Hammer, a man that 544 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,200 Speaker 8: he met while they were both serving time in prison 545 00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 8: for other crimes. So Mark hires Wayne and Wayne brings 546 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 8: in the Hammer. 547 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: Okay, now, that's a heck of a nickname, you know. 548 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: I got to go to a shrink on that. Doctor 549 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 1: Bethany Marshall the Hammer. 550 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 4: Well, it's interesting he called himself the hammer because what 551 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 4: he used to bludgeon the victim to death, and he 552 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 4: did it quite aggressively, quite maliciously. And Nancy, this was overkilled. 553 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 4: When doctor Gallagher was talking about shards of the skull 554 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 4: in the brain, I realized they could have hit her 555 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 4: once and killed her. They hit her multiple times. So 556 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 4: Jimmy the Hammer has this setishized interest in using a 557 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,719 Speaker 4: hammer on a woman. Imagine what you want from that. 558 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 4: But this is an extremely aggressive man. 559 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 1: Amanda to backtrack, how many times does she bludgeon with 560 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: the hammer? 561 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 8: Doesn't at least seventeen? We know from the autopsy report 562 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 8: that there were seventeen crescent shaped wounds to the back 563 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 8: of her head. 564 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 1: To doctor Tim Gallagher, seventeen, I thought they were eighteen. 565 00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 6: Well, sometimes it's difficult to say exactly how many there 566 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 6: are when they're when the number is so high. A 567 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 6: lot of them are intersecting, and a lot of them 568 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 6: obscure the one underneath it. So seventeen is probably a 569 00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 6: very conservative number. That they could definitively say, but often 570 00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 6: it's quite more than that. 571 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm just just so repelled at this seventeen at least 572 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: seventeen blows to the back of her head with what 573 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: I understand as a claw hammer on this tiny, tiny 574 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:24,479 Speaker 1: little lady. To Ashley Wilcott, judge and trial lawyer anchor 575 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:28,360 Speaker 1: Court TV, Ashley, did you hear what Amanda Hall said 576 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: that according to these two co defendants, of course, who 577 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: knows if they're telling the truth. They're shifting all the 578 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: blame to somebody else and off themselves. Look at him, 579 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 1: not at me. They say that at one of their weddings, 580 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 1: he basically said, we're gonna split, We're going to battle 581 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 1: for custody. I have to kill her. Why not just 582 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: have joint custody? Ashley, you know, not. 583 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 4: A great question that we continue to entertain and on 584 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 4: this show, because they're defendant after defendant chooses to. 585 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 9: Kill someone instead of getting a divorce or having joint custody. 586 00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: You know, who knows why? You can't answer the why 587 00:33:59,320 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: you can own? 588 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 9: We look at what is the evidence show and going 589 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 9: after the person that the evidence show did such a 590 00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 9: terrible thing, you know. 591 00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: Just thinking through all of the evidence. To Amanda Hall, 592 00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 1: reporter w in KTV. As a former prosecutor, you have 593 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: to assess the witnesses and see their faults. And here 594 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 1: these two Curtis Wayne Wright, the childhood friend of the 595 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 1: husband Mark Sivers all the way through school together, is 596 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: an identical twin to Sivers and Jimmy Ray Rogers, nicknamed 597 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:37,720 Speaker 1: the Hammer, just twenty nine years old. They're POC's pieces 598 00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: of crap okay technical legal term. So why should I 599 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,000 Speaker 1: believe them? What can you tell me about these two? 600 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,360 Speaker 8: Wayne Wright and Jimmy Rodgers are both eleven hundred miles 601 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 8: away from Benita Springs in a small town in the 602 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 8: middle of Missouri. And the way those two are connected 603 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 8: was from a stint in prison, So that tells you 604 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 8: a little bit about the character and the kind of 605 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 8: people that they are. Jimmy Rodgers is rumored to have 606 00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,640 Speaker 8: been a hit man before. It's in fact, it's something 607 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 8: that he regularly bragged about, and that's why Wayne ultimately 608 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:17,400 Speaker 8: brought him in because he was afraid he wouldn't be 609 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,560 Speaker 8: able to go through with it. So he needed a 610 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,840 Speaker 8: guy who has done it before and would do it again, 611 00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 8: and he knew that he'd be the one to actually 612 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,440 Speaker 8: kill her and go through with it. 613 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,319 Speaker 1: So fifty one year old Curtis Wayne Wright went to 614 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: school all the way through with Mark Severs childhood friends 615 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: in Missouri, and Savers moves to Florida, meets Teresa. They marry. Then, 616 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:47,319 Speaker 1: when Mark Severs decides he needs a murder done and 617 00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,640 Speaker 1: he needs a hit man, Curtis Wayne Wright contacts Jimmy 618 00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 1: Ray Rogers, who he met in jail, twenty nine year 619 00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,120 Speaker 1: old Rogers aka the Hammer. Now it would be it's 620 00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:04,640 Speaker 1: so easy for these two to blame Mark Severs to 621 00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: take the heat off of them, but then enter another witness. 622 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 3: Less than an hour later, in the early morning hours 623 00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,960 Speaker 3: of Monday, June twenty ninth, the GPS shows Jimmy and 624 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 3: Wayne on the highway headed northbound for the seventeen. 625 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,360 Speaker 1: Hour drive back to Missouri. 626 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:28,520 Speaker 3: The electronic trail would eventually lead detectives to Jimmy Ray Rogers' door. 627 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 3: Just like Wayne, he denied being involved, but when they 628 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,959 Speaker 3: pulled in Jimmy's girlfriend Taylor, what a story she had 629 00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,279 Speaker 3: to tell. He has her to throw out parts of 630 00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:41,880 Speaker 3: his cell phone in a jumpsuit. 631 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: What a couple of demons. You know, if the killer 632 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: is the devil, these two are his minions. Now we 633 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: know that Curtis Wayne Right, the childhood friend, pleads guilty 634 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: to second degree murder. Then Rogers, so called the Hammer, 635 00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,840 Speaker 1: goes to trial and is convicted of second degree murder. 636 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: But the case against Mark Savers take a listen. 637 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 12: In the Circuit Court of the twentieth Judicial Circuit in 638 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 12: for Lee County, Florida, Criminal Action State of Florida versus 639 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 12: Mark D.

According to Rogers, Wright 658 00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,040 Speaker 5: asked him if he wanted to drive to Florida, speaking 659 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 5: of the trip for weeks, Rogers said after a nineteen 660 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,319 Speaker 5: hour drive, they parked in the Severs driveway, but no 661 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:50,040 Speaker 5: one was home. Rogers says Wright had a traumatic brain 662 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,360 Speaker 5: injury years before, which causes him to get dates and 663 00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 5: times mixed, so they drove to the beach. When they 664 00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 5: came back, Teresa Severs was home. Rogers said, Wayne explained 665 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,000 Speaker 5: he messed up the times, but they argued as Teresa 666 00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,920 Speaker 5: told them they were a week early. All three walked 667 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,480 Speaker 5: into the garage, which Teresa Severs closed behind them. The 668 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 5: argument continued as she unloaded a van with Right, becoming frustrated, 669 00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:19,120 Speaker 5: trying to hold his temper, Rogers says, then Teresa's Severs 670 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 5: said she would fire right. Right, then grabbed a hammer 671 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 5: and hit her.
