Mark Sievers' attorney speaks

Posted

Mark Sievers has not been charged in connection with his wife's murder, but multiple people - including the Department of Children and Families - have hinted that he, Curtis Wayne Wright and Jimmy Rodgers may not be the only people allegedly involved.

The DCF was unsuccessful in its attempts to remove Mark and Teresa Sievers' two daughters from Mark's custody, after documents released by investigators said that they suspect Mark was involved. 

"Is this out of control?" Theresa Fracek of the DCF asked at Monday's custody hearing. "Yeah, we would say it's absolutely out of control. We've got an ongoing criminal investigation, which can and very likely will result in the arrest of additional suspects."

The judge let Mark Sievers keep custody of his girls, saying that the DCF's case was speculative. Lee Hollander, an attorney for Sievers, believes the hearing was all for show.

"One could reach that conclusion, yes," Hollander said. "But it turned out right, so we just go on."

Hollander said that Mark Sievers has not endangered his children in any way. He wouldn't say if he thinks his client or anyone else could be arrested in connection with his wife's murder, but indicated Mark is frustrated at the pace of the investigation.

"We have no input, no control," Hollander said. So it's just a waiting game now."

Reports released by investigators have stated that more arrests may be yet to come in connection with the murder of Teresa Sievers.
