From Dassey transcript Day 2 / Direct Examination of Witness (Arson investigator)
Day 2 / Page 43
“Q: Um, the 7[SUP]th[/SUP], that would be Monday, the 7[SUP]th[/SUP] of November, were you involved in, and did you participate in, search efforts of the Avery salvage property?
A: Yes. I was assigned to, um, assist with the recovery of some evidence.
Q: Describe for the—Well, I’m going to have you look at, uh, a photograph, Exhibit No. 95. Tell the jury what it is that Exhibit No. 95 is?
A: It’s a photograph of a steel burn barrel. It was found in the, uh, front yard area of Steven Avery’s residence.
Q: And could you tell me where the burn barrel was located, please?
A: The gravel driveway that you, um, see in the background behind the barrel, uh, is the access roadway, or a driveway to provide access to Steven Avery’s trailer and his detached garage. This barrel is north of that driveway, um, and Steven Avery’s trailer and garage are south of the driveway and to the right of the barrel as you’re looking at the photograph.”
[Exhibit 96 is a photo taken looking into the barrel and the burned contents therein]
[Exhibit 115 is a two-page report, of examination was completed by, Mr. Curtis Thomas of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s laboratory in Virginia. He is in a unit assigned to the Cryptographic and Electronic Analysis.]

“Q: Uh, we’ll talk about the individual, um, uh, findings through some other photos, but, uh, if you could tell the jury, uh, what Mr. Thomas’ findings were?
A: Mr. Thomas was able to conclude that the components, um, depicted in the photograph, all came from the three electronic devices, which he was able to identify as a Canon A310 PowerShot digital camera, a Motorola RAZR cellular telephone, and a Palm Zire PDA.”
Cross Examination pages 68-87
“Q: OK, now looking at that burn barrel, the location is approximately in front of the Avery trailer? Or, I guess, if you want to say, kind of a triangular, uh, angle from the trailer and the garage; correct?
A That’s correct. It’s almost, um, due north of the garage and northeast of the trailer.
Q So that would be that opening—the gar—the actual main entrance of the garage?
A Correct.”
________________
Hard to tell, but it seems like there was a separate burn barrel that contained the phone, camera and Palm pilot parts. Why would SA burn them separately and not throw them in the pit?
All these burned items, either burned in a separate location and moved, or burned in an illogical area, or left sitting around for at least 4 days...just weird.
