According to The Green Bay Press Gazette, the SUV vehicle of the missing Teresa Marie Halbach was found on Saturday in a gravel pit near the auto salvage yard operated by Steven Avery.
Searchers Saturday found the vehicle of a missing 25-year-old St. John woman in a rural gravel pit near an auto salvage yard operated by a man convicted of a 1985 sexual assault and exonerated by DNA evidence 18 years later, according to Manitowoc County Sheriff Ken Petersen. The auto salvage yard is owned by Steven Avery’s family.
Steven Avery, whose family owns the salvage yard, told the Herald Times Reporter late Saturday that he has “no idea” what happened to free-lance photographer Teresa Marie Halbach.
“I don’t know what happened to her,” he said in a telephone interview from his father’s vacation property near Crivitz. “That’s the honest to God truth. I just wish they’d find her, so we’d know what really happened.”
Avery commented as officers scoured his property between Mishicot and Maribel, where Halbach’s dark green 1999 Toyota Rav4 was found. Petersen said the presence of investigators on Avery’s property could be a “coincidence.”
Steven Avery denied knowing how Teresa Marie Halbach’s vehicle got into the “pit”.
Avery said he last saw the missing woman driving away from his rural property on Monday afternoon, after she had taken photos of one of his vehicles for Auto Trader magazine.
Avery denied knowing how Halbach’s vehicle got into what he called “the pit,” a storage area for junk vehicles used in his family’s salvage business. Avery said he hasn’t been in the pit “in quite a while.”Halbach has been to his home about 15 times in the last year to take photos of his vehicles for Auto Trader, Avery said.
“It was always just ‘hi, how ya’ doing,’ that kind of thing,” Avery said. “It was just business.”

Numerous searches on land and in the air are underway in the disappearance of Teresa Marie Halbach. She was last seen Monday afternoon in Manitowoc.
An aerial search was underway for the land from Manitowoc to Green Bay hoping to locate her car, which they say is a major key to their investigation.
Dozens of relative and friends spread throughout Northeast Wisconsin to distribute Missing Person posters with Teresa’s picture and description. They hope someone in a six-county area has seen her.
According to WBAY2, Teresa Marie Halbach last stop was at the home of Steven Avery.
Coincidentally, Halbach’s last stop Monday was at Steven Avery’s home. He’s the man who spent 18 years in prison for crimes he didn’t commit — attempted murder and sexual assault — until DNA testing cleared him.
The sheriff says the Mishicot area remains a focal point of the investigation. “This is the last place she is seen alive and seen by somebody, and of course we’re going to be concerned, interested in that area.”
According to The Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter, Teresa Marie Halbach’s appointment was to photograph a van being sold by Steven Avery.
Green Bay television stations reported Friday night that the appointment was to photograph a van being sold by Steven Avery. Avery is the Two Rivers man who was wrongly convicted for a 1985 sexual assault and spent years in prison before being exonerated by DNA evidence in 2003.
Avery told WFRV-TV that Halbach took a photo of his van and left.
“I said she was out here no more than five minutes,” Avery was quoted as saying on the station’s Web site. “(Investigators) came in and looked around and they left. I don’t know if I’m a suspect but as long as I can help, I’ll help.”
Officials were trying to determine if she had any appointments after that, and if she showed up for them.
Sheriff says Steven Avery may be among last to see missing woman
