Episode 335 - Best Friend for Hire - The Murder of Teresa Sievers

In Estero, Florida, Dr. Teresa Sievers returned home alone after a weekend away with her family. By the next morning, she had failed to show up for work, and a close friend was sent to check on her. What he discovered inside her home would launch an investigation that stretched more than a thousand miles and exposed a conspiracy no one saw coming.
