Sievers murder suspect wrapping up jail time

Posted

LEE COUNTY, Fla. -- One of two men charged in the murder of Bonita Springs doctor Teresa Sievers is expected to be released from a federal prison in Illinois this Monday.  But that doesn't mean he'll be a free man.

Jimmy Rodgers is now wrapping up a six-month probation sentence on an unrelated charge. Once his sentence is up Monday, he'll be held at the prison until deputies bring him back to Lee County to face second-degree murder charges in Sievers' death.  His alleged accomplice, Curtis Wayne Wright, is already in jail on the same charge.

A witness claims Teresa's husband Mark Sievers --  who has not been charged -- paid the men to kill his wife for life insurance money last summer.
