According to Herald Times, relatives of the witness said Avery asked for help in cleaning up around the salvage yard property.
The young friend agreed to assist and was putting flammable materials in the pit at Avery’s request when he saw body parts.
According to the mother of the witness, Avery said: “If you say anything, what I did to her I’ll do the same to you.”
“That’s why it took him so long to bring it out, because he was afraid,” she said.
The witness had been questioned early in the investigation but denied any knowledge of the crime. Recently, he had been losing weight and had become more withdrawn, according to two of his relatives.
