I am a relative of Steve Avery's wife at the time of his murder. I have been intrigued by this case since I first learned of it a few years ago. The family doesn't talk of it and it's something I haven't brought up. I can tell you that Dianne and her daughter, Stephanie, passed away within about 6 months of one another in 2011/2012. So, I wouldn't be able to ask directly, but some of the family may be willing to discuss it.
I don't have much confidence in the law enforcement in Ottawa/Franklin Co. in regards to homicide investigations. IMO, they mishandled the case of Kyle Flack (awaiting trial in a quadruple homicide and rape). The lack of technology in the 70's really hampers things in this case. I'm sure by now the car has disappeared/been destroyed which is a shame. You know there had to be DNA, fingerprints, etc. everywhere in and on that vehicle.
In my novice sleuthing opinion, not knowing much more than what's been reported, I feel the hitchhiker/local theory is the most plausible. I don't know what the argument was regarding, but another possibility might be that Dianne didn't want him to take their only vehicle because he was going all the way to Topeka. If he planned on being gone for two days (per the news articles), maybe she was going to need the vehicle. That's not exactly a metropolitan area where you can just catch a bus with a 13 mo old. However, she did have several other family members in that area that may have been available to take her wherever she needed to go. So, it's possible she didn't want him involved in the trial or maybe they didn't have the money for gas/expenses. I can only speculate right now, but I will see what I can find out from the rest of the family. I hope this case gets solved.
