Theories Abound in Halbach Murder. Did Steven Avery have Help?
Theories are still swirling about the Teresa Halbach murder a day after a Manitowoc County judge decided Steven Avery should stand trial for the crime. The question on every one’s mind is whether Steven Avery had help or not in th murder and cover up of the crime?
Mishicot is just a few miles east of Avery’s home. Shirley Brose lives nearby, and says she can’t go anywhere without people talking about the Avery case. She echoes, “‘Do you think so-and-so-did it?’ ‘Do you think one of their relatives did it?’ ‘Do you think a relative was involved?’”
The many theories and rumors that are in the air is that the police may not have uncovered the complete story of what transpired and that Steven Avery had help.
Despite the evidence laid out and the fact Avery is headed for trial, a lot of people in Mishicot say they don’t feel police have uncovered the real story of what happened on the Avery family property.
“I definitely think he had help,” Jeff Huycke expressed, saying the case is “very close to home, and it’s not good.”
Like in most of these cases, the evidence points toward one individual. Now the prosecutors just need to prove the case and there appears to be a mountain of evidence against Avery.
And like in all cases, Defense Attorneys: Avery To Plead Not Guilty.
Defense lawyers say that the man accused of killing missing photographer Teresa Halbach will plead not guilty when he returns to court for his arraignment on Jan. 17.
Steven Avery, 43, was ordered to stand trial on Tuesday on charges that he killed Halbach at the Avery family’s auto salvage yard near Mishicot and got rid of the body by burning it.
Avery has contended that he’s being set up because of the $36-million lawsuit that he filed against Manitowoc County for being wrongly convicted in a 1985 rape case. After serving 18 years, he was freed from prison two years ago after DNA evidence showed that he didn’t commit the rape.
For the first time we see verification from the crime labs that the remains and DNA material that was discovered at the Avery Salvage Yard property was in fact that of Teresa Halbach.
Now, the DNA evidence described in court Tuesday showed bone fragments found in a burn pit on the Avery property were consistent with Halbach’s genetic material.
Sherry Culane, a DNA analyst with the state crime laboratory, said that that profile could be found in only one out of 1 billion white people.
The FBI is doing more DNA testing of the remains to come up with a positive identification.
Update: Family Files Death Certificate
The Halbach’s family has filed her death certificate with the Manitowoc County register of deeds.
The certificate notes that her body wasn’t found but lists the place of death as the address of the salvage yard on Avery Road in the town of Gibson.
