Making a Murderer: Meet the Men Steven Avery Thinks May Have Killed Teresa Halbach
What you didnt see during Averys trial sequences was his lawyers mentioning any other suspects besides Brandon Dassey in the murder of Halbach. Thats because prior to the trial, Averys defense team attempted to introduce evidence that other persons may have murdered Halbach.

At the time of Halbachs murder, the mustachioed Tadych was dating Barb Janda, the sister of Steven Avery who lived next door to him (theyre now married). Janda is the mother of Bobby, Blaine, Bryan, and Brendan Dassey.

Bobby Dassey is the older brother of Brendan Dassey, and the nephew of Steven Avery. He was 20 years old when he providing damning testimony during Averys murder trial that hed seen Halbach walking towards Averys trailer, and that Avery had, on Nov. 3, jokingly asked us if he wanted

Comment: Imho, if someone else murdered Ms. Halbach, SA knows the people in his immediate circle far more than any of us, so I will leave it at that. Now, moving on...
On January 2, 2016, Kathleen Zellner tweeted:
"whoever deleted Teresa Halbach('s) cellphone calls is either the murderer or part of (the) coverup. Either way the killer is free."
Interestingly, or not, the aforementioned tweet appears to have since been deleted. However, if you search for the aforementioned phrase, you'll see that it was not only retweeted but mentioned in various news articles.
Now, I'm not an atty, obviously, or a criminal investigator. However, I do think I understand why she made such a statement. There are three men in Ms. Halbach's immediate circle, who appear to be friends.
* Michael Haibach accessed her voicemails, bc his mother allegedly received a full voicemailbox. And yet the technician testified that, based upon the records, her voicemail was not full. This strongly suggests that messages were deleted. He also admits to listening to *all* of her voicemail.
* Ryan Hillegass downplays his relationship with Ms. Halbach, and came across as quite smug that he (and Scott?) broke into Ms. Halbach's phone account. Moreover, he states that Scott gave Pamela a camera and told her where to search. Allegedly bc LEOs were already zeroing in on SA.
* Pamela Sturm testifies that Scott Bloedorn gave her information to contact the sheriff. Her "search party" was also granted "special access" that no other people were. She also testified that they tried to open the vehicle to see if Ms. Halbach was inside. Thereby contaminating the crime scene. Oh and. That she claimed that she was very afraid. This last comment was odd, since, at this point, no one knew Ms. Halbach's whereabouts.
So, you have these three men who are all up in Ms. Halbach's business, basically, compromising potential evidence. That is, phone records can be, and in this case, were subpoena'd from the phone company. These three men also appear to have orchestrated the search for Ms. Halbach's vehicle. At which point, that crime scene was also compromised.
With the above in mind, my prediction is that, *
if* Avery is innocent, and
if his new attorney's are able to present viable alternative suspects, that these three men will be at the top of their list. How they would be able to prove anything, beyond circumstantial, is anyone's guess. However, I do think that the killer(s) and her DNA will be all over the actual murder scene.
Imho, and at this point, we know at least two (
arguably, more) crime scenes. There's her RAV4 with her blood in the trunk, and the three locations where her remains were found. With regard to the latter, I think her remains were burned in the quarry. And, when (
whoever) moved them, they missed a few bones. Which is why I think that was the primary burn site, as opposed to the pit and burn barrels found near SA's garage.
So, that leaves the murder scene. Where was she murdered? And importantly, why?
In order to find this out, I suspect their investigators will be tasked to interview her friends.
We know a witness testified that Ms. Halbach was receiving multiple unwanted calls. The only calls LE was able to determine that SA made, were the three where he used *67. And yet, the witness stated that she seemed to recognize the number of the unwanted caller. So, who was that caller?
Phone records could potentially reveal repeated calls that she did not answer. Thereby providing potential clues with regard to the unwanted caller.
We also know that prior to Ms. Halbach's murder, SA was all over the news for his overturned verdict. Notably, these three men, who were all up in her business, contaminating potential evidence left and right, appear to be quite cozy with the Manitowoc County Sheriff's office. Which, imho, seems not only odd but quite suspicious.
Now, I get why Mr. Avery thinks his brothers are the killers. The big however is that they were not cozy with the sheriff's department... an, imho, required ingredient for planting the key, bullet fragment, and blood evidence in Ms. Halbach's SUV. And possibly, even moving her cremains. This would explain how they got the key (
brother, roommate or ex, gave it to them).
That said, I also have a theory with regard to how and why she was murdered. But it could be way off, since the aforementioned "
novella" is nothing more than speculation.
