Below is my attempt at transcription of the LE interview of BL ( the dietician in Teresa's office.) in the fourth document dump. Please excuse any errors
Today's date is Thursday July 2 2015 the time is 11:58 hours. Currently present is Detective McHenry with the Lee County Sheriffs office conducting a sworn statement with B*rb*ra L*win. She's a white female with a birth date (redacted personal information)
LE Interview currently is taking place at the work office which is 10201 Arcos Avenue Suite 201 in Estero Florida. It's going to be referencing Lee County case 15268513. B*rb*ra do you recognize me to be a law enforcement officer with the State of Florida about to take sworn testimony from you?
BL Alright
LE Do you recognize me to be a law enforcement officer
BL Yes
LE Please raise your right hand. Do you solemnly swear the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God
BL I do
LE OK B*rb*ra I'm here to get some information from you and basically how you knew Teresa Sievers. How long have you known Teresa?
BL About 2 years
LE And how did you first meet her?
BL I first met her as her patient and came in. And um
LE And since then have you gotten to know her better obviously as a person?
BL Yes, I guess it was about a year ago she asked me if I would be interested working in her office as a dietician and I ended up doing that
LE So you also work out of the office here, is that correct?
BL I do. It's not a lot or often, but I will come in and see patients from time to time
LE Were you a close personal friend of Teresa's?
BL I wouldn't say I was a close personal friend, but I really really cared a great deal for her and we would get together. There were two conferences that we got together for. There were dinners and talks, in the last six months I would say.
LE When was the last time you saw her, Teresa?
BL It would be at the Simogen (sp?) conference which was last week, I wanna guess that it was, I think it was last Monday I'm guessing.
LE Do you remember the date off the top of your head?
BL Lenka was there also, so I'm going to say it was the 22nd of June but I'm not positive about that
LE Have you ever been over to Teresa's residence before?
BL No
LE Have you ever met any of her family members?
BL Yes, I've met her children at a talk she was giving and her husband was there as well. And then I've met her husband on different occasions setting me and my computer up in the office, then when I came in to see a client.
LE Did you also work with the same clientele that she worked with primarily?
BL They were all her, well not all. Occasionally I would bring my own patients in but I, they were primarily her patients.
LE Was there, did you, were you also involved with her volunteer activities?
BL I was, Wings of Shelter, the human trafficking that the girls.... I taught a nutrition class for them
LE How would you generally communicate with Tresa? Would she call you, text you, if she wanted to talk with you or meet up with you how would she generally contact you?
BL Text, she texted me probably most often. Would call, or email on other occasions but usually texting if she was in the middle, between patients, whether it's personal, you know, whether it's about clients or whether it was about my care.
LE Did you know any of her extended family?
BL No, I do not
LE At any point in time did she have any, either through her volunteer or through any clientele that she was seeing , did she have any problems with any clients or any people that she mentioned to you?
BL I mean I know what she does is difficult, she works with a lot of really difficult patients
LE Anyone that stands out?
BL No
LE Any kind of problems, any kind of threats made to you or to her that she may have expressed?
BL No
LE And with the relationship with her husband, how would you characterize that?
BL I didn't know them well enough and I didn't see them together often enough to really be able to tell
LE Do you know how long they had been in a relationship for?
BL No. No, but I know they have children 8 and 10 so
LE Did either one of them ever express to they were having any kind of problems in their relationship?
BL No, I was not that....I wasn't.. I didn't know them well enough for that
LE Did she express at any point in time that either one of them possibly were seeing anyone else or did they have anyone that would frequent her often that wasn't her husband that you know about?
BL Not to my knowledge
LE Or him?
BL See, I didn't work here often enough. And no, I loved this woman, I have to tell you. I mean I just thought she was amazing. But I didn't, wasn't, I was wanting to see more patients and be more connected to the office, but um yeah , just in, you know, it was more sporadic. And um but then I, you know, I also would go to seminars with her and, just, you know, she sent me I, I have the the emails, cards, that she's thinking of me and...
LE You guys maintain a very business related um relationship correspondence between the two of you, or friendship through work
BL Yeah, I mean I, when I went in and saw her as a patient she would have her own usual, you know, very spitfire, very energetic way of dealing with, you know, me as a patient. But in terms of when I talked with her, she talked to me, you know, a patient I was going to see, just like I would with any physician, you know, and tell me what was going on and how she wants to proceed. It was all pretty normal stuff.
LE Did she ever confide in you with any information she didn't want you to tell anyone? She didn't want you to tell her husband, she didn't want to tell her staff? Anything like that? Anyone she worked with?
BL No
LE B*rb*ra, at any point in time did she say she was having any problems financially, have any problems with any particular person
BL No
LE Since you've known her, has she ever expressed having anyone via communication, coming into the office, anyone bothering her, that she was having problems with, or she would say oh I can't deal with this person, or...
BL No. I know that she's closer to Lenka than she had been with me so I'm sure that you'll get more of that from her. But unfortunately we just weren't that close, there just wasn't enough time.
LE B*rb*ra, is there anything, is there any person that you can think of that you know that she would confide in if she was having problems with anyone?
BL Lenka
LE Lenka, okay. And is there any person that you know of or can think of that would wish to harm her or her family ?
BL No, my only concern was my feelings that I mentioned to you when her dealings with ...
LE That was the Wings of Shelter?
BL Yes
LE Is there anyone in particular there that you can think of?
BL No, I don't think it is anyone affiliated with them, I don't think it's anyone part of that, I think, but she was pulling people, pulling girls out of sex trafficking.
LE Right
BL So I don't know, it was something that, for some reason came to me when I was working with a healer and I don't know, I can't explain it
LE Um, was there, were you saying it's something you feel comfortable talking about?
BL I really don't have anything else to express except than I saw, I visualized some type of scene, and I don't know if it was a living room and I'm not sure, you know sometimes when you start thinking too hard about things. I don't, I don't have enough. And I don't see anything that I can, um, bring up that would help you
LE People, or events or anything that were specific to what happened?
BL I sort of thought I saw a stick or a pole. I, I saw her legs kinda sprawled out, um, it looked like she was laying... um
LE What was she wearing?
BL I didn't see anything. I couldn't see that, and I really am doing my best not to see it.
LE Um, I understand
BL But it was just a very, um, it was very realistic.
LE Any people there?
BL I didn't see any people
LE Did you hear anything? Did it sound like anything, did it sound like an argument? Anything like that?
BL It was just, um, like a snapshot of her lying there
LE This was a vision or a dream or what was this?
BL It was um, just like a vision when I was lying on this table, and I know this and it sounds crazy. And we always question things like this but it was just.. I was dealing with this healer, she.... and I'm of sound mind and body I just need to have surgery, but,um,
LE I understand
BL Um, and I just all of a sudden thought there, um, might be some connection with the sex trafficing with the, what she was doing with the girls.
LE Did she appear injured at all in the vision?
BL She was lying, she was lying, she was dead
LE She was dead. Um, anything that you could see, any kind of injury that you saw or felt or that she expressed to you?
BL All I could tell, all I could see was really like one bare leg. I couldn't really see, I couldn't really tell. And then
LE Did you know where she was particularly injured?
BL No, no. I didn't see blood, I couldn't see anything like that. Um, and then when I started thinking about it more.. again, I really don't know if that was more me. You know, you question things. But I thought I saw some pole or stick, and I thought I saw a fireplace, and then I thought I saw, I couldn't tell if it was a couch or a bed, and I thought it was blue. But again these are more, and when I started, I don't know. I, you know it, I, I, I can't..... You know, and my background is science and biochemistry so for me then to say these things sounds crazy but um, that's all. That's all that I felt and saw,and it was just so horrifying, that I, I, I you know. And then what ended up happening was the more I stayed with this healer, and even the next, I went back the next day, which was yesterday, I kept seeing... I kept seeing things. And just it was a very, just very...
LE Any people in particular
BL No, just very violent. It was kind of.. Just a very violent scene and I couldn't really, I just kept telling to not think about it, and I
LE Could I ask, what made it violent? I mean, what in particular made it violent 'cause you said it was so violent
BL I don't know, I don't know, it was just
LE Was it just a vibe you got from it or?
BL Yeah, yeah, and I know that Teresa was just so very spirited that she would have fought as much as she could, but I don't
LE Okay
BL But it's just
LE Did you get a sense that there was a struggle or something?
BL Yeah, I think so
LE Anything, any idea of what it would have been about?
BL No, but I feel it's personal, I don't feel it's random. But again, its... Again, I have no clue. I don't know enough about anyone associated with her, just a feeling that I had about the sex trafficking
LE Have you ever had any feelings like that prior?
BL Well, once I told my father not to go in the car and he ended up having an accident. I've had things like that happen. And the woman that I saw told me I was very intuitive, It's not something that I really, don't want to have any .. this is not something I would wish on myself
LE Sure, I understand
BL If I could help, well I just feel I should say something
LE We appreciate every kind of information, as I said before, that we can obtain,. That is definitely beneficial to us to know out there. And on that same note, is there anything that you feel is very important that I might have missed commenting on. Any specific person that we should maybe look into or talk with that we may not have talked with yet. I mean if there is anyone you can think of it would be a great help to us to know what direction to go from there.
BL Did you talk to the people with Wings of Shelter, from Sally and
LE I'm only part of that investigation I'm mostly handling staff um I don't know how far out they've reached. But yet we know she is affiliated with several different organizations. Is there a good contact person for that that you know of for Wings of Shelter?
BL Sally and Lowell I can't remember their last name, I think it's (redacted)
LE Were they a couple?
BL Yeah, but I just wanna clarify it's not anyone within the shelter
LE Oh, I understand
BL I've heard stories of her getting the girls from the ER and you know, she was just a spitfire and put herself in the way of things
LE How recently did she have anything happen like that?
BL I don't know
LE Okay. Anything else you feel that is important that I might have missed
BL No, I'm sure that you are doing all the normal things like looking at people that are close to her
LE Yes m'am
BL I don't know
