When the key to Teresa's RAV4 was located, it was after multiple searches had already been done inside Steven Avery's home. The discovery of it was...well...sketchy. In this episode, we'll hear how it was found straight from Colborn himself.


He was right near the bookcase, he said he was shaking the bookcase, and never saw the key ...

Colborn claims he was shoving a bookcase back in place in Steve Avery's tiny bedroom when all of a sudden, Lieutenant Lenk pointed out the key. But with ...

Thumbnail Text: Something’s Off Here


In Episode 28 of the Avery Trial, we dig into Sergeant Andrew Colburn’s testimony—and the moment the investigation shifted from a missing person to something much darker. Why were handcuffs and leg irons taken from Avery’s h...

In this episode, we wrap up the testimony of Sgt. William Tyson, the officer from Calumet county whose job it was to watch the Manitowoc officers while they searched Steven Avery's home.

The prosecution made a big deal about this bleach bottle in the bathroom but conveniently failed to mention that this is also where Steven's washer and dryer were located. They also made it wound a...

Today, we hear more from the Calumet County officer who was the babysitter for Maniwooc Cunty officers as they searched Steven Avery's trailer. For three hours.


The jury learns about notebooks, phone numbers, a for-sale sign, and even a bleach bottle — framing them as incriminating evidence against Steven Avery. But are these items really proof of anything, or just everyday household objects twisted to fit a narrative?

Today, we hear from Deputy David Siders, who talks about the burn barrel and the contents that were found inside. Things like you'd imagine, ashes, etc., but also, according to him, melted plastic and what he says were cell phone parts.

Then we hear the beginning of testimony from Sergeant William Tyson, who was "the guy" assigned to Manitowoc County officers as they did searches of items on the Avery property. Why was Manitowoc Co...

In this episode, we continue with John Ertl's testimony as the defense continues to question him. We learn about the handling of the contents of the burn pit outside of Avery's residence, the garaage, and whether or not the evidence was collected and documented properly.


Ertl talks about how the contents of the burn pit was collected and sifted. Not only that, faint luminol reactions ...

DNA doesn’t lie—at least, that’s what we’re told. But in Steven Avery’s trial, the way evidence was collected, handled, and explained leaves you scratching your head.

Today, we hear from the state’s DNA expert, John Ertl. He walks the jury through his role in collecting and documenting key evidence: from Teresa Halbach’s RAV4, to suspicious stains in Steven’s garage, to burn barrels, a golf cart (another distraction?) and even the ...

In this episode of Beach House 34, we hear the testimony of William Brandes, a volunteer firefighter who discovered Teresa Halbach’s missing license plates, and Trooper Cindy Paine, who confirmed that they were in fact, Teresa's plates.

Brandes admits to picking up the plates, which were folded. Then he unfolded them and read the number —before law enforcement secured the scene. He was wearing his own personal gloves, not department...

In this episode we wrap up Agent Fassbender's testimony. Specifically, the defense wraps up its questioning but not without Kratz having to chime in.

Defense attorney Buting presses on Fassbender about the lack of physical evidence in this case that ties Teresa to Steven Avery's home or garage.


So why then, four months into the investigation are bullet fragments just now being "found"?


Why is the smelter on the property dis...

In this episode, we hear Part 2 of Tom Fassbender's testimony - first, the prosecution who finishes up and then the defense starts in.

We hear inconsistent information about how Steven's Avery property was searched (and the crazy number of times), we hear who was allowed in and how long they were inside and how all kinds of stuff was taken from his home but nothing that connected him to Teresa Halbach...until the 4th day of searchi...

Today, we hear from Julie Cramer, a dog handler who brought in her cadaver dog, Brutus on November 5th.

The goal was to help search for Teresa Halbach and we learn where he alerted...and where he didn't.

We also learn how Brutus is trained, what he's detecting and why a cadaver dog, when they "alert" doesn't exactly mean that they've found a body.

Today, we hear from Deputy Inspector Todd Hermann at Manitowoc County and a key player in the early hours after Teresa Halbach’s RAV4 was found.

He claims the vehicle was never disturbed. That scene security was airtight. And that, oh yeah, he wasn’t aware if his own colleagues had been deposed in Steven Avery’s $36 million lawsuit against the department. Sure, Jan.

We also learn his brother is one of the highest-ranking officers in ...

In this episode, we hear from two of the very first officers on the scene after Teresa Halbach’s RAV4 was discovered on the Avery property: Deputy Peter O’Connor and Sergeant Jason Orth, both from the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department.

O’Connor testifies that he arrived quickly—but didn’t verify the VIN. Orth spoke to Pam Sturm after her “search”—but he didn’t check the VIN either. Both officers kept their distance, claimed to a...

In this episode, we hear from Lt. Brett Bowe. He's the guy who was in charge of the perimeter security at the Avery Salvage Yard after Teresa's car was found.

It's a 40-acre property. Unless you had someone standing every few feet, someone could have snuck in right?


We learn how Bowe had set up a search system and how the property was locked down. Not to mention, we hear that Manitowoc County officers, James Lenk and Andrew Colbo...

The DNA guy's testimony continues. In this episode, it's the defense who gets to question him. we'll hear about issues with evidence collection, timelines that don't quite add up, and why wasn't the state crime lab team given full control over key searches? They didn't even process Avery's home or garage from start to finish. Something that is done on nearly every other crime case.

The defense takes on Bobby Dassey. 

Bobby admits he was there the same day, Halloween of 2005, that Teresa arrived at the property to take photos. He said he saw her arrive but not leave. Cut and dried right? Not so fast. 


We learn about a brother who said Bobby wasn't even awake at the time he said he saw Teresa, a roadkilll deer, and the disturbing "joke" in the garage.

After Bobby Dassey claimed he overheard Steven Avery confess to murder, the courtroom went into damage control. The jury was dismissed, and the afternoon turned into a battle over whether or not Bobby would take the stand so the defense could get a crack at him. The defense needed more time...they had never interviewed Bobby themselves. (Seems weird right?) They didn't know that he was go...

This is a long one folks. In this episode we hear from Bobby Dassey. Bobby is Brendan Dassey's brother (you know, the one who is also in jail), and he drops a bombshell that catches the defense completely off-guard.
