21-year-old’s body found inside his car in woods; suicide suspected

A 21-year-old Houston student missing two weeks from classes at Georgia Tech in Atlanta was found dead Saturday in his car, apparently from suicide, a Texas search group leader said.

“It appears to be suicide,” Tim Miller, director of Dickinson-based Texas EquuSearch, said after Daniel Compton’s body was found inside his 1998 Honda Civic in a wooded area off a remote road about 20 miles south of Atlanta, near a town named McDonough.

Miller said it fell to him to tell Daniel Compton’s father, Jim, that his son was dead.

“He broke down and cried,” Miller said. “He said he could not believe it.”

Teresa Halbach’s Rape and Murder Resurrects Death Penalty talk in WI

The recent horrific and unspeakable rape and murder of Teresa Halbach has reinvigorated efforts to reinstate the death penalty in Wisconsin. The recent announcements of what occurred to Teresa Halbach at the hands of Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey have shocked the collective conscience of most all.

The release of horrific details about Teresa Halbach’s death likely will reinvigorate efforts to reinstate the death penalty in Wisconsin, say two Fox Valley legislators and a prominent defense attorney.

“I expect that you are going to see people now asking for Wisconsin to reinstate the death penalty because, if these statements are true, this man’s as vicious as they come,” Boyle said. “I’ve already heard that argument being made on the radio.”

The description of how Teresa Halbach was allegedly raped and murdered has upset some by the graphic details but has outraged others to begin to discuss that there must be a greater penalty for those that would commit such heinous crimes other than life in prison.

Boyle, the Milwaukee attorney, said the details of the case have sparked outrage, and that “is going to cause a lot of people to start saying the penalty of life in prison without parole isn’t severe enough.”

Brendan Dassey Pleads Not Guilty to Helping Uncle (Steve Avery) Rape and Kill Teresa Halbach

Brendan Dassey, 16, pleaded not guilty Friday to helping his uncle, Steven Avery, sexually assault and kill a photographer. He also pleaded not guilty to then burning Teresa Halbach’s body and cleaning up the blood.

Brendan Dassey’s attorney told the court the teen had been threatened by his uncle, 43-year-old Steven Avery, who is also accused in the Oct. 31 slaying.

“He essentially has been victimized by Mr. Avery as well,” Ralph Sczygelski said.

Because some how the individual who came forward and told police of his uncle’s horrendous crimes and his participation in it is some how a victim? Brendan Dassey, you could have walked/ran away from the scene and called the authorities.

Dassey’s mother, Barb Janda, told the judge Friday that her son was forced to do the crime. “He didn’t do this on his own,” she said.

This family who has been proclaiming Avery’s and now Dassey’s innocence need to remember one fact in this case and that is who the victim is.

Special prosecutor Ken Kratz rebutted the characterization of the boy as a victim.

“There is only one victim in this case: Miss Halbach,” he said.

He waived his right to a preliminary hearing, and Judge Jerome Fox set bail at $250,000 cash.

Young Accomplice-Suspect Pleads Not Guilty in Halbach Murder Case

Sixteen-year-old Brendan Dassey is in a juvenile detention center in Sheboygan County after a judge set his bail at a quarter of a million dollars cash.

Hours later came word that Dassey’s defense attorney has to step away from the case. The Associated Press reports Ralph Sczygelski just learned he is a distant relative of the victim, Teresa Halbach.

Investigators say Dassey confessed to helping his uncle, Steven Avery, rape and murder Halbach last October 31, then burn her remains to cover up the crime.
