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 Hal...

#TrialTranscripts #StevenAveryTrial #TrueCrime 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. Sub...

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 on...

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 office...

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 offi...

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.  What does...

🌟💰 Tip Jar: https://ko-fi.com/beachhouse34 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 rig...

#truecrime #stevenavery #trialtranscrips  🌟💰 Tip Jar: https://ko-fi.com/beachhouse34 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. The prosecution barely...and I mean barely...escaped from having a mistrial called because o...

In this episode, Pam Sturm’s daughter, Nikole, takes the stand to tell her version of how they “just happened” to find Teresa Halbach’s RAV4. According to her, she never looked away from the car—not once. Even while talking to police, even while writing her statement. But her testimony starts to slip the moment it’s questioned. Did Manitowoc or Calumet arrive first? Did she see anyone actually app...

#truecrime #unsolvedcases #truecrimedocumentary What are the odds that some volunteer searchers, two of them, find Teresa's missing SUV is found under 30 minutes inside a massive, I mean massive 40-acre junkyard with over 4000 cars? In this episode, we hear from Pam Sturm - Teresa's cousin who "miraculously" found Teresa's vehicle in under 30 minutes. How does this happen? Or....did someone make s...

#truecrime #trialcoverage #truecrimedocumentary Today, in Episode 8, we hear the testimony of Teresa Halbach's ex-boyfriend Ryan Hillegas. He organized the search party, he handed out flyers, hacked into her phone records, and he moved into her house after she was d3ad. (creepy right?) Did police question him? Did he mention he was an ex-boyfriend? Did he use his real name? When he's done, we'll t...

Learn where they went and what they found. We also hear from two customers of Teresa's that day. One was just a bit on the sketchy side; well, not her exactly, more her husband who, weirdly, didn't testify. 🔎 Watch...

Everything that happened after Maura Murray's accident in that tiny town in New Hampshire is a rabbit hole of dead-end leads, new witnesses, mysterious vehicles, a potential weapon, and more. Nothing that has led anyone to Maura all these years later. Not even a suspect has ever been named! In this episode, y...

Dawn Pliska, the receptionist at AutoTrader, was the one who made some of Teresa Halbach's appointments for her. The thing is though, her last known appointment? This leaves a big hole in the timeline.  Teresa was known for getting those "hustle shots" that made her extra cash and these appointments wouldn't even show up on her appointment sheet until she turned them in...the next day. So did...

The airbags go off, and someone across from the crash site calls 911. By the time the police arrive, the car is locked, there's a rag stuffed in her tailpipe, and Maura Murray is just...gone.
