It is correct that he is said to be the last person to see her alive. Which in the case I made above would mean that J. Zipperer should never have seen her at all that day. Since she would never leave the Avery lot according to the States Case. The state cant have it both ways, which means if she was indeed at the zipperer residence first, it would have been after 2:30 and 3:00pm not between 2:00-2:30. Between 1:40-2:25pm she was driving 36 miles into Manitowoc. Since that confirmed call from Auto trader from 2:27-2:32 has her not arriving yet where ever she was going for at least ten minutes. That means that there is no way that Bobby could have seen her at 2:30 if Teresa was at the Zipperers residence first. I would put her at the zipperer residence at about 2:40pm or so. This is Before she took the pictures and did her sales thing. before she went to the last known stop at the Avery Salvage.
So Which house was she at at 2:30pm October 31 2005.
Because of the testimony that Bobby says he watches her from a window of his trailer, Because of the only person who could confirm his time was giving conflicting statements from the first statements he made in 2005, than on the stand in 2007. ST, being his only alibi. I really think Teresa was last seen at the Avery Salvage Yard around 3:30-3:45 as the bus driver testified too. I believe that Bobby and Scott had something to do with her disappearance and murder.
It would mean that their claim of going hunting, NOT TOGETHER, at 2:45 more likely 3:45. Would make that hunting trip for both men to be about 1 hour long. Not sure about hunting. but seems to me like it would take longer. And why so late in the day. And why for ST when he was just visiting his sick mom, then goes hunting, then goes back to see her with Barb around 5:30?
Had the state looked into their own timeline they would have noticed such inconsistencies and explored other avenues. Or so I would have hoped. Seems they just didn't care once again when it came to this man. They let the tunnel vision guide their investigation and all possibilities of other suspects go unseen.
Manitowoc needed to back off from the beginning and sadly they did not. The tunnel vision and conflict of interest they presented overwhelmed the justice for poor Teresa Halbach, Her family and her friends.
There are serious problems w. Bobby's testimony and the testimony of other witnesses. Perhaps it is just a harmless error (Bobby isn't as certain about the time as he thinks) or maybe he is deliberately tampering w. the timeline, for whatever reason.
For what it's worth, Joanne Zipperer testified Teresa left her residence at about 3pm. The bus driver, Blaine, and Brendan testify to arriving home around 3:40PM (Blaine and bus driver) and Brendan I believe says 3:45. They all reportedly see Teresa's car in the driveway. Blaine testifies that he and Brendan wake Bobby up at 3:40PM.
You are correct in that this doesn't fit w. the testimony of ST and BD, but it also doesn't fit w. Steven's statement on Nov 9, where he says Teresa is at his property from 2-3PM. Again, maybe Steven was confused about the time, but it is another inconsistency.
Obviously, they can't all be correct. I tend to believe the bus driver and Blaine/Brendan's testimony the most, since Blaine and the bus driver especially would have no reason to lie.
ST and BD's stories are definitely suspicious. BD never mentions Brendan or Blaine waking him up, but Blaine mentions it. ST and BD's mutual alibi of driving down the road and seeing eachother is also suspicious IMO. Perhaps they created their "alibi" because they were concerned they'd be suspects if they didn't have an alibi (although there was clearly no reason to worry, as CA also had no alibi and appears to never have been a serious suspect either) and they weren't involved in the murder at all. In ST's defense, it seems he came back from GB for the purpose of picking up Barb Janda, maybe he decided to hunt to kill some time prior to going back and leaving w. her. I'm not sure I believe this, but it's certainly possible.
My question is, if they were involved, what time and how did it happen? They had a very, very narrow window to work with. We know ST was w. Barb Janda on the way to GB at 5:30, so they had from 3:45-5:30 as the largest window of time. So how did this go down w.o anyone else finding out about it, and ST w. an alibi beginning at 5:30. What were Steven and CA doing during this time period? Supposedly, EA was working when Robert Fabian arrived on the property at 5PM, after that they supposedly hunted rabbits w. the golf cart on the property.
There are a lot of problems w. the timeline, hashing it out is difficult w. all the inconsistencies, unfortunately.
