Snipped by me
Hi Dexter75,
I am referring to the very first time Brendan was spoken to. This was just 5 days after Teresa went missing. At that time, the Police in question, were from the next County as the Avery family were at their holiday lodge. They clearly have certain information on the timeline, Avery had already given them his version. So they are checking it. Let us not forget, a girl has gone missing and the last place she was known to be was at the Avery salvage yard. What are you going to do if you are a police officer? You are going to check the stories and see if they can be confirmed.
Well, these very first sessions a few days after Teresa went missing, are very telling. Dassey tells the police he did not see Teresa. They test him. He then says he had to step out of the way to let her car go by. Without prompting. He says that Avery was at work when he got home. Avery had said he was in his trailer from 11 am and not working. Someone is lying. It gets tested and we have two people, who are giving a different version of the days events.
Dassey says that he saw Avery talk talking to her, but Avery says he did not talk to her. Avery then says he may have touched the car and Dassey confirms he saw Steven by the car, without being pressured.
If you take a bit of time to listen to the interviews, whilst reading them at the same time, (it is a little tedious my friend but stick with it) you will get a sense that something is not quite right.
Missy1974 & mrsobrien,
I take your points on board. In all honesty, I would agree that this case was not handled in the best possible way, but that is probably because the police were up against it from the Get Go.
That said, have you guys thought about the possibility that the way the police asked their questions was actually because Avery & Dassey were so 'intellectually challenged?'
A girl goes missing, the last place she was seen was on Avery's salvage lot, and they start asking questions. They get differing answers and become suspicious. I am not a Cop but I have been interviewed by a few and they are inquisitive by nature. I think these first interviews are damning because here we have police from the next County, being asked to interview a couple of people on behalf of another County, with reason to believe they might know something.
They are not trying to frame anyone at this point, just test what gets said. When it does not stack up or concur with the other stories on offer, they get suspicious.
Slightly off topic, but I wanted to include this as I feel it is important. The only angle for Averys defence is that he was framed.
Think about it for a second. If you were in the position to frame someone, would you not do a better job than a bit of blood in the car and some DNA under the Hood? No, you would make it unequivocal. That blood would have been sprayed around the car as if out of a sprinkler, just to make sure enough was found.
My theory, and thanks everyone for reading so far, is that Avery was responsible for the death of Teresa, and he bullied his nephew Dassey into getting involved.
The police tried everything they could to prove it, and managed it by means that perhaps were not always to the standards we would expect in a fair & democratic society.
I know people have other views, some thinking they are both innocent. I respect those views and hope mine is taken the same way.
