Here is a preview of Murphy’s report:
Crime scene tape surrounded the house of Mark and Theresa Sievers. As darkness fell, it was clear no one was going to be sleeping that night. A killer was on the loose.
DETECTIVE: She was face down in a large pool of blood.
Who could have murdered Dr. Theresa Sievers, and in such a brutal way? Crime scene investigators carefully processed the house.
DETECTIVE: No footprints, no fingerprints, no DNA left on scene that we were able to recover.
They were focusing their attention on those closest to the victim. The spouse usually tops that list, but Theresa’s husband Mark was 1,300 miles away when she was killed. It couldn’t have been him.
