Poor Stevie. Everybody was and/or is out to get him. Please. His pathetic attempt at an alibi backfires, so his advocates engage in wild leaps of logic. Avery calls Halbach's employer twice using Star 67, and then calls a 3rd time inquiring as to why Halbach has not shown up for her scheduled photo shoot. Avery is subsequently interviewed by a local TV station and admits that Halbach DID show up for the appointment. While awaiting trial, Avery admits to Nancy Grace in a televised phone interview that Halbach DID show up for the appointment. In terms of the timeline of the bonfire in Avery's yard, he responds to a profanity laced phone call from his sister by admitting that her son left his residence around 9 PM. What were these two poor innocent souls doing prior to Dassey returning to his residence? According to Avery, they were watching the bonfire in Avery's yard.
Avery supporters question whether there was enough time to burn Halbach's body to the point where only bones were left. They ignore the fact that tires were found entwined with the bones. If Avery began setting the fire shortly after he made the 3rd phone call to Halbach's employer, there would be plenty of time for Halbach's body to be destroyed. In essence, we're talking about a MINIMUM of 4 hours burning time with assistance from debris that literally melted around Halbach's bones. In order to sell the conspiracy narrative put forth by Avery's advocates, one would have to argue that mythical murderers would burn Halbach's body in another location, move her bones to Avery's fire pit, and hope that Avery wouldn't notice the 270 bones in his fire pit prior to setting his bonfire.
Unfortunately, the two documentary filmmakers have managed to manipulate a majority of their audience into believing in this mythical conspiracy AND to ignore key inculpatory evidence in this case. This includes Avery's Touch DNA being found under the hood of Halbach's vehicle; the license plates from that vehicle being found inside another vehicle on Avery's compound; items from Halbach's handbag were found in a burn barrel located 20 feet from Avery's front door; the tool used to mutilate Halbach's corpse was found in the fire pit; a portion of Halbach's pants were found in that same fire pit; etc., etc., etc.
It's important to note that during Avery's trial, two women came forward and accused Avery of raping them in 2004. These women didn't know one another, yet they provided law enforcement with the same reason why they didn't come forward in 2004. Both women stated that Avery threatened to kill them and their entire family if they notified law enforcement. These are allegations, but it corroborates the claim from Avery's ex-fiance that he threated to kill her and her entire family if she didn't portray him as Mr. Nice Guy. This also speaks to Avery's penchant for deviant behavior. Brenden Dassey told his mother that Avery had touched him in his private parts and Avery set a cat on fire prior to his rape conviction in 1985.
Avery was wrongfully convicted of rape in 1985. That injustice, however, has no REAL connection with the murder of Teresa Halbach. The evidence, both concrete and circumstantial, prove beyond all doubt that Steven Avery murdered Teresa Halbach. Avery supporters claim that there is no evidence of his guilt, but the evidence presented at trial has passed muster with a district court judge, 3 circuit court judges, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
