Suspect in Sievers' death, Curtis Wayne Wright, to be extradited to Florida

JEFFERSON COUNTY, Missouri - A Missouri judge has ordered that a suspect in the death of Bonita Springs doctor Teresa Sievers be transferred to Florida.

Curtis “Wayne” Wright, 47, who is named on a warrant for second-degree murder in connection with the doctor’s killing, had been fighting extradition.

In a court hearing lasting less than two minutes Wednesday, defense lawyer Daris Almond said Wright was dropping that fight and would waive an extradition hearing. Associate Circuit Judge Timothy S. Miller then ordered Wright to be turned over to Florida authorities.

Wright shook Almond’s hand and smiled, and was then led out by deputies.

Attempts to reach Almond for comment after the hearing were unsuccessful. Almond’s law partner, Marsha Brady, represented Wright in 1996 when detectives were attempting to question Wright about the disappearance of a former minister named Ronnie Bolin. Wright remains a person of interest in Bolin’s case, according to investigators.

Few details about Wright’s involvement in Sievers’ death have been released. Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott has said initial public records will be released when Wright returns to Florida.

Wright is a longtime friend of the doctor’s husband, Mark Sievers.

Sgt. Matt McDaniel, a Sheriff’s Office spokesman, said the agency is waiting to hear from authorities in Missouri to coordinate the extradition. It’s unclear how Wright will be transported to Florida or how long it could be before he arrives.

“There is a process,” McDaniel said. “It doesn’t happen immediately.”

The sheriff declined an interview request Wednesday regarding Wright’s extradition.

A second suspect in the case, 25-year-old Jimmy Rodgers, remains in the custody of U.S. Marshals in the St. Louis area. Rodgers must finish serving a six-month federal prison sentence before he can be transferred to face the charge in Lee County.

Rodgers’ sentence ends in February, according to the Bureau of Prisons.

Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott has said Wright was seen on surveillance cameras at a South Fort Myers Walmart just one day before Dr. Sievers' body was found in her Bonita Springs home.

Wright's attorneys fought his extradition back to Florida, saying he has evidence showing Wright was in Missouri when Teresa Sievers was killed.
 
Sievers' patients mourn doctor's death, fret over missing records

Former patients of murdered Bonita Springs doctor Teresa Sievers now feel like they're losing their medical records, too.
I do get a lot of phone calls about trying to reach the office and getting the medical records," Spiska said. But she says patients need to contact Mark Sievers to get them since he was office manager.

"I'm not a medical doctor, so I never had anything to do with them," she said.

NBC-2 asked Spiska when she had last spoken to Mark Sievers. She told us she couldn't remember, and figured it was sometime before she stopping seeing patients in the office.

Yet, when we asked her if she ever brought up the issue of patient access to records when speaking with Mark, Spiska refused to answer the question. She even told us to turn off our cameras when we asked how many concerned patients had reached out to her.

An email from Mark Sievers to patients Monday night says he has not been able to forward medical records because of IT and email issues.

Mark Sievers, who was the office manager at his wife’s medical practice in Estero, said he has not had access to his computer and networking equipment used to send medical records since the death of his wife, Dr. Teresa Sievers, whose body was found inside the couple’s Bonita Springs home on June 29.

Sievers' husband updates patients about records, practice

In his note, Mark Sievers told patients that the practice was unsuccessful in finding a "like-minded and like-hearted physician" to step into the practice. "I feel it would be a disservice to all of you if we settled for anything less," he said. Because of that, the note said, the practice can't order labs, make referrals or authorize prescription refills.

The practice has also lost one-time associate Lenka Spiska. Almost three months after Sievers' murder, Spiska has taken her multifaceted practice independent and has separated herself from Sievers’ office, which the doctor's husband, Mark, is running.

In a recent story in The News-Press, Spiska said: “I want to stress the fact that I am not in that office any longer. Yes, there’s still an answering machine saying that I am, but I’m not."

Although it was almost 20 years ago, Greg Bolin can remember in detail what his life was like in the summer of 1996.

He was still grieving the death of his mother, who died just before Thanksgiving the previous year. That May, he had undergone a major surgery and was still recuperating. On the night before his older brother went missing, he tried to go back to work at his job at an auto factory but had to leave because it was too hard on his body.

Then he got the call that Ronnie had disappeared. It was July 9, 1996.

“It’s one of those things, like ‘where were you when Kennedy was killed?’ I have a real good memory of this because all this happened at the same time,” Bolin said.

It’s been 19 years since Ronnie Bolin was last heard from. His car was discovered abandoned at a carwash in St. Louis, with the driver’s door open and the keys still inside. His body was never found.

Officials in Jefferson County, Missouri, where the Bolins are from, recently announced that a suspect in the death of Bonita Springs doctor Teresa Sievers is still an active person of interest in the disappearance of Ronnie Bolin. Throughout the years, detectives have continued to receive tips that Curtis “Wayne” Wright was responsible for killing Ronnie Bolin.

Greg Bolin was watching the local news up in Missouri on Aug. 28 when he learned Wright had been arrested in connection with Sievers’ death. Wright is a longtime friend of the doctor’s husband, Mark Sievers, who grew up in Missouri.

“My first reaction was, ‘Those poor children,’” Bolin said, referring to the Sieverses’ two young daughters. “Then my second reaction was that another life was being altered and destroyed by this same jerk who has altered and destroyed lives of many people. The third reaction was that this time, at least he’s going to pay for it.”

Greg Bolin first met Wright in the third grade. They became friends, once cowriting a school play together, until Wright moved away the next year. When Wright returned to Hillsboro in high school, the two reconnected. In his senior year, Wright was class president and voted “most dependable” in the senior superlatives. A yearbook photo shows him pretending to lie in a hospital bed, clutching the hand of his female counterpart.

Greg Bolin moved to Illinois after high school and said his older brother Ronnie grew closer to Wright in his absence. Ronnie Bolin got into youth ministry and became a pastor, something he’d aspired to his whole life.

“He was funny and outgoing. He liked to entertain people,” Greg Bolin said. “Ronnie did a lot of good things in his life.”

After a split from his wife in 1994, however, Ronnie Bolin “went off the deep end,” according to his brother. Unbeknownst to his family, he started using drugs. Greg Bolin said he later learned his brother had been doing meth with Wright, who was arrested on a drug possession charge in May, just a few weeks before Bolin disappeared.

On the Fourth of July that year, Greg Bolin said his brother told him he was going to blackmail Wright until he repaid a debt. He didn’t get specific, and Greg Bolin didn’t push it.

“(Ronnie) said if anything happened to him, Wayne did it,” Greg Bolin recalled. “He said, ‘There are things I need to tell you but I can’t in front of your wife.’ ”

After Ronnie Bolin went missing, Wright told Bolin’s father the two had met up at a Pizza Hut, where he said he had repaid him. In the days afterward, Wright left Missouri, telling friends he was leaving for a vacation in Florida.

“Ronnie was clearly upset and depressed, and I think Wayne and his drugs gave him the perfect avenue to escape reality,” Greg Bolin said. “They did a lot of stupid stuff together, and I think it eventually cost him his life.”

The Sievers case hits home for Greg Bolin on another level, too. Back in 1993, he began dating a woman named Shelley Fryer, who had been engaged to Mark Sievers a few years prior. Fryer also is the aunt of Wright’s new wife, Angela.

On New Year’s Eve 1990, Greg Bolin said he attended a friend’s party, where Fryer and Sievers also were in attendance. Two years later, Bolin was at a bar in St. Louis when he spotted a pretty blonde across the room.

He soon realized it was Fryer, and the two began talking and danced all night. She was no longer engaged to Sievers and, as he found out soon after, was pregnant with another’s man child. It didn’t matter to Bolin. He and Fryer married in May of 1993 and he agreed to raise her son as his own. His brother Ronnie married them in a church ceremony. She wore the dress she’d purchased for her wedding to Sievers, which was called off for some reason.

“She didn’t really ever talk about it,” Bolin said.

Bolin, who has since divorced Fryer, said he knew Mark Sievers but wasn’t friends with him. He isn’t sure if Sievers ever met his brother.

With Wright’s arrest in the Sievers case, Bolin is hopeful his family could finally get the answers they’ve been holding out for.

“I just think that if anybody knows anything, it’s time for them to come forward and say what they know and stop this person from hurting anyone else,” Bolin said. “We need closure. We’d like to know what happened. There’s a part of us that doesn’t want to believe someone once so close to our family was involved in it, but there’s nothing that really points in any other direction. These people responsible should answer for what they’ve done.”

The detective investigating the case, Lt. Doc Coombs, said last month that he met with Wright in jail after his arrest in the Sievers case to let him know the Bolin case was still being investigated. Coombs said he told Wright he was ready to talk if Wright ever became interested.

Anyone with information about the disappearance of Ronnie Bolin is asked to call the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office at 636-797-5515 or 636-797-9999.

Curtis "Wayne" Wright was booked into the Lee County jail shortly before 2 a.m. Thursday.

The 47-year-old Missouri man, accused of killing Bonita Springs doctor Teresa Sievers, was transferred out of the custody of a Missouri jail where he was being held.

He made his first appearance before a judge Thursday morning to hear charges, according to NBC-2.

Wright, 47, was charged with second-degree murder (dangerous, depraved without premeditation). He said he intends to hire private council, and a public defender will represent him in the meantime, NBC reported.

Last month, a judge ordered Wright's extradition to Lee County, where he is named on a warrant for second-degree murder.

Wright is a longtime friend of Sievers' husband, Mark, who grew up in Missouri. The doctor was found dead in the couple's home on Jarvis Road on June 29.

A second suspect, Jimmy Rodgers, must finish serving a six-month federal prison sentence before he can be transferred to Florida.

He said he intends to hire private counsel, and a public defender will represent him in the meantime. He appeared via closed-circuit TV, spoke to the judge through a phone link and was wearing a green suicide suit designed to keep him from harming himself.

At one point, the judge had to ask him to speak up because he was very soft-spoken.
