00:00:02
[Music] when you first started on this case would you have ever imagined it would end up to where it is right now
00:00:21
no when I got into work that day we were getting word that this um 46-year-old doctor was
00:00:27
dead this beloved woman in our Community had been brutally killed inside her own
00:00:33
house and then once you started to unwrap it a little bit it was nutty it was weird and it was hard to keep track
00:00:40
of it all so this is Dr Teresa sers high-profile doctor did a lot of holistic medicine and people uh you know
00:00:50
said that she was just a little Spitfire just a short little thing and always wearing you know 4-in heels CL clacking
00:00:58
around I would describe her as radiant almost she had a column that appeared in my newspaper and she was on the front of
00:01:08
local magazines ladies remember when walking into a room meant turning heads she was telegenic energetic she's funny
00:01:18
and who's this Teresa and Mark at agala Mark and Teresa have been a couple since
00:01:24
2003 uh when they got married in a Beachside ceremony in St Petersburg she was sort of the red winner and he was
00:01:31
the office manager uh at her practice and he helped raise the kids they had a trip planned to New York to spend the
00:01:38
whole weekend with her brothers and sisters and her mom and Teresa would fly home that Sunday night to be at work
00:01:44
Monday morning to open up her practice so on Sunday night she comes back here to the Southwest Florida
00:01:51
International Airport there's security footage of her rolling her suitcase through the the terminal she calls Mark
00:01:58
tells him she's safe and then gets in her car and heads back to their house the next morning uh her office
00:02:05
staff got in it's now 9:00 now it's 9:05 now it's 9:15 I said where's doctor I was texting back and forth
00:02:18
trying to see if you know where he at and no response called no answer marks out of town he says I can't get a hold
00:02:28
of her I either how unusual was it for Dr sers not to show up even if it was 9:00 and 3 seconds after you would hear
00:02:38
her heels coming in 911 when is your emergency uh I'm at a friend's house Mark had a friend come and check up on
00:02:46
her uh he's out of town and she's dead on the floor and there's a hammer at the side and she's dashed in the back of the
00:02:53
head and do you know how many times she was hit 17 I came home from work I looked up at
00:03:00
the television and my heart dropped and I thought this is my son's house and his
00:03:05
wife and their two children who is dead when you first heard how Teresa died what did you think must be some mad man
00:03:15
