I guess it is possible to not only find a hitman, but also add a "brutality" stipulation to the contract, but I think the odds of finding such a person become increasingly small.
Pyschologically, most hitmen would probably want to make the killing as impersonal as possible by using a gun and then preferably from behind. My feelings is that the murder was committed by a former patient.
It appears that the doctor had unusual business practices that may have attracted unstable people with unreasonable expectations of their approval for government benefits or romance with the doctor.
We don't even know if the murder weapon was a "hammer". I think most are taking it as some kind of crow bar that jacked-up the door to the garage, but even if this is "real" and she was killed in the kitchen, she did wake-up and walked to the kitchen, so that tells me that if words were exchanged ( as the neighbors heard arguing) it had to be someone that she knew but why would they break into the house, if she knew them?
I think whoever this was, was there, and then staged it to make it look like a break-in. So, I don't buy the neighbor theory. They also knew that the cameras didn't work on that side of the house, making the point of being in the house before that. ( evil smiley goes here) No sociopath needed.
The only odd part ( so far) is that TS was playing in the yard with her kids one afternoon ( the week before the murder) and the neighbor said this was odd because she never got off work that early.

I have not heard this before. May I ask where this information came from?
As I said earlier, TS brow-beated which is fine for a high ranking secret service job but not for a doctor.
Makes me wonder if she was secretly gay. ( I don't mean that in a negative way but just a realistic way).
A woman need not be gay to have an unpleasant personality. Though a good number of gay doctors may not advertise their sexuality at their practices, there is not a big need today to keep it a secret today via a double life- especially considering that her practice was focused on alternative medicine (not say, the area's Hassidic or other conservative religous community) and most customers were probably inclined to be supportive or at least be generally tolerant of a lot of alternative expressions.

The killer could have just gotten lucky about the malfunctioning camera (25% chance?). As for the arguing implying that the break in was staged, I think your explanation is the simplest. Another possibility could be:
- Doctor accepts a visitor that she knows
- Argument ensues about something (doctor refuses some kind of demand?) and kicks the visitor out.
- Enraged visitor then makes an impulsive decision to return, breaks in and murders TS.
As I said earlier, TS brow-beated which is fine for a high ranking secret service job but not for a doctor. This is not going to mix-well with someone that is on an edge. Even her ( TS) assistant said that she wasn't interested in if her clients liked her but was more interested in getting the patient well. Makes me wonder if she was secretly gay.

I can't speak for GreenFlute334, but I didn't read it that way, as if to imply that a gay woman has an unpleasant personality, BUT it could mean that her very aggressive manner and personality may have really angered someone, and I also think it's someone she knew. Could have been a spouse or partner of a customer/client who was jealous. We can only speculate, though, since at post nearly #300, we still haven't heard more from the Suddenly Silent Sheriff....

Yes, and I feel like that particular camera may have been either shut off / disabled (unbeknownst to Dr. Sievers) by the perpetrator, who also may have known exactly how the cameras worked or had cased the house long enough at some point to be able to do it quickly.
I also still wonder if TS went straight home from the airport that night; she did call husband Mark to say she had arrived, but what if she picked up someone on the way home, drove him/her to her house? Was she alone all night? Or did she go somewhere else first?
I'm beginning to worry this has gone cold. Would the police/sheriff tell the public if it had?

I might need to apologize to Green flute as I thought he was referencing the stereotype that aggressive women are more likely to be lesbians ( though there maybe some truth to it).
I agree about the chance that the her personality may have drastically alienated somebody. I would expand the search for possible suspects to anybody she had business dealings with. The doctor could well have extended her financial creativity to business dealings outside her practice.
Some men also tend to take a dim view of any women in authority. Then factor in her personality traits and possible financial creativity and things could go down hill fast.
As for the security camera system, I think a key point is whether or not the doctor installed it, or it came with the house. A security conscious person who took the trouble to install such a system would be far more likely not to allow a camera to malfunction and to notice of one had. In contrast, if the system came with the house, it is possible that she would not be interested in it and not notice if it had gone out months ago.
An abundance of evidence, rules out anyone in her immediate circle; family, coworkers and handful of neighbors, thru dna. Assuming dna collected from all the above.
Could random include targoted and premeditated, but a person unknown to Dr Sievers?
Since PD revealed little to nothing ( as it should be ), business associates, competitors, financial lenders anyone who had stakes in the LLC as well as patients. A lot of ground to cover and investigate. Its only been 2 months, eventually the perp will be charged. I still don't rule out a hitman.
According to this article, Sievers family isn't back in the house; don't see how they could live with daily reminders...
