[Music] The case starts on Monday, June 29th, 2015. Hi, I'm Dr. Teresa Severs. Dr. Teresa Severs was due at work and she didn't arrive. Teresa Severs is found on her kitchen floor, dead. [Music] A pool of blood surrounds her head. She is cold to the touch. [Music] This is Dr. Teresa Severs. This high-profile doctor did a lot of holistic medicine and people, you know, said that she was just a little spitfire. Just a short little thing and always wearing, you know, four-inch heels clocking around. So let's get started. We got a lot of stuff to talk about. Ladies, remember I'm walking into a room that turning heads? When I got into work that day, you were getting word that this 46-year-old doctor was dead. This beloved woman in our community had been brutally held inside her own house. Mark and Teresa have been a couple since 2003 when they got married in a beachside ceremony in St. Petersburg. She was sort of the breadwinner and he was the office manager at her practice and he helped raise the kids. They had a trip planned to New York and Teresa would fly home that Sunday night to be at work Monday morning. So on Sunday night, she comes back here to the Southwest Florida International Airport. She calls Mark, tells him she's safe, and then gets in her car and heads back to their house. 911, what is your emergency? I'm in a friend's house. Mark had a friend come and check up on her. He's out of town and she's down on the floor. And there's a hammer at the side and she's dashed and back to the head. It will later be determined that there are 17 impact wounds to her skull. Who would possibly want this feisty Florida doctor dead? That question led investigators on a wild chase that ended more than a thousand miles away with a shocking arrest of three people. A break in the case came from all places from the state of Missouri. There were electronic footprints. When you step outside your home, folks, you're always being observed. Once you started to unwrap it a little bit, it was nutty, it was weird, and it was hard to keep track of it all. This is a case in which 21st century technology became vital. I've been told we have a verdict. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
