Kathleen Zellner's breakthrough


findings, April 2021
On Friday 23rd April 2021, Steven Avery's lawyer,
Kathleen Zellner, accused the state of Wisconsin of
'withholding' crucial evidence in a letter after new
witnesses came forward.
This followed a new court filing on 13th April, which
states that a delivery driver has come forward and
said he saw Bobby Dassey with an unidentified,
bearded man in his 50s-60s pushing a Toyota RAV-4

(the model Teresa Halbach was driving) onto the


Avery property in the early hours of 5th November
2005. This groundbreaking revelation places Steven
Avery's nephew, Bobby Dassey (Brendan Dassey's
UP brother), at the scene of the crime.
NEXT On 14th April, Zellner tweeted: "To all the Steven
Avery supporters: Thank you for all the tips on the
accomplice. We should have him identified very
quickly." Watch this space.
Brad Dassey - Brendan's half-brother - then claimed
that his uncle Avery is innocent and that his step-
mother, Barb Tadych, might have something to do
with the case.

Kathleen Zellner tweeted an update on the Steven


Avery case

Before this, the last development in the case was in


June 2020, when Avery's lawyer filed The Avery Reply
Brief with the optimistic message, "We're going to win
this!!!"

This came as a counter-response to The State of


UP Wisconsin, which, after the filing of Avery's appeal,
NEXT submitted a 130-page document asking the court to
deny Avery a new trial.

Is Steven Avery still in prison?


As of May 2021, Steven Avery remains in prison for
the murder of Theresa Halbach in 2005, as told in the
the 2015 hit true crime documentary, Making A
Murderer.

Avery has always maintained his innocence and


believes he was framed by the Manitowoc County
Police Department after he sued them for wrongful
conviction in 2003.

A DV E RT

In 1985, Avery was imprisoned for sexual assault and


attempted murder. It wasn't until 18 years into his 20-
year sentence that DNA evidence proved he was
innocent and he was released.

After his release in 2003, Avery filed a $36 million


lawsuit against Manitowoc County and received a
small fraction of this as a settlement.

Two years later, Avery was convicted of Halbach's


murder and sentenced to life without parole.

A DV E RT

The Netflix series, which covers Avery's 2007 murder


trial, has garnered international attention for the case
and brought new evidence to light.

Viewers learnt about witness coercion and tampering


with evidence on behalf of Manitowoc County, who
Avery believes framed him for the murder as payback
for suing them in 2003.

In 2019, attorney Kathleen Zellner - who featured in the


second season of Making A Murderer - stepped up
her efforts to fight for her client's justice.

In February 2019, Avery won a motion to appeal in a


Wisconsin circuit court, which meant that the court
would reexamine the case.

UP
Zellner's appeal argued that the bones discovered in
NEXT
the gravel pit on the Avery property, believed to be
Halbach's, had been mishandled by authorities when
they were given to the victim's family in 2011, without
notifying the defence.

In August 2019, the defence's bid for a new trial was


rejected in the circuit court, meaning Zellner and her
team had to continue to pursue their appeal in
Wisconsin's appellate court.

Unlike the circuit (district) court, an appellate court


doesn't retry cases, hear witness statements, see
new evidence, or have a jury. Instead, it reviews the
procedures and decisions made in the original case
to ensure the legal proceedings were fair and the law
was applied correctly.

Is Kathleen Zellner still Steven


Avery's lawyer?
Yes. Zellner continues to fight for her client's justice.
Regarding the next steps, Avery's appeal - and the
arguments for and against - is being deliberated by a
judge who will decide if Avery should be offered a new
trial.

and violence towards woman on Dassey's older


brother, Bobby Dassey's, computer. She insists he
should be considered a suspect.

UP Since then, fans wonder (and hope) if there will be a


NEXT third instalment of the true crime series.

Nothing has been confirmed just yet, but filmmakers


Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos did tell
Cosmopolitan in 2018 that it could definitely be on the
cards.

And with such a revelation from Avery's lawyer in April


2021, it's hard to imagine there won't be a Making a
Murderer season three.

Are Steven Avery's parents still alive?


Yes, they are. Both Steven Avery's parents are alive
and well and are in their 80s now. As recently as July
2020, a family member tweeted they are "doing great
& staying healthy."

Does Steven Avery have a girlfriend?


Steven Avery has managed to keep up a dating life
despite serving a life sentence in prison.

Long before the Halbach case, Avery was married to


Lori Mathiesen, who he had four children with. They
divorced while he was in prison for a rape case, which
he was wrongfully convicted for.

Season 1 makes reference to Avery's previous


marriage to Mathiesen. Throughout the docuseries,
we meet Avery's more recent partners - Jodi
Stachowski, Sandy Greenman and Lynn Hartman.
UP
NEXT Stachowski was in prison herself for drink-driving
when they met, which was around the time of
Halbach's death. Once she left prison, Stachowski
was involved in the filming of the documentary and
continued to back Avery's claims that he was
innocent. That is, until January 2016, when she
changed her mind and said that he wasn't.

Later on in the series, we meet Sandy Greenman, who


started writing to Avery in prison after watching his
trial being covered on TV. Sandy began visiting Avery
in prison while her husband at the time was suffering
from dementia and Parkinson's disease.

broke off the engagement, claiming that Hartman was
in the relationship for the money.

Avery broke off his engagement with Hartman. But
Greenman stays in touch with Avery, upholding the
belief that he is innocent. She regularly updates her
social media followers about Avery.

Has Steven Avery ever confessed to


killing Theresa Halbach?
Steven Avery has always upheld his innocence in the
case.

In late 2019, another inmate confessed to the murder


of Teresa Halbach while talking to the documentary
producers. But the legitimacy of the confession
wasn't confirmed.

Making a Murderer fans are chomping at the bit for a


third season of the hit true-crime documentary after
Kathleen Zellner's latest update about the Steven
Avery case.

Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey, are both


doing time for the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005.
But new evidence places Brendan's older brother
Bobby at the scene of the crime.

Following this, Brendan's half-brother, Brad Dassey,


has spoken out about their mother Barb Tadych. He
claims that his uncle Avery is 'innocent' and that
Tadych wiped the family laptop of pornography before
it was seized by the police.

That, and the fact that season two left the audience
with some unanswered questions, all goes in favour of
a third season. But when?

campaigning for a new trial. They haven't had much
success up until now and the best Zellner could get

by a judge.

At the end of season two, Zellner was experimenting


with evidence to try and prove it was planted to frame
Avery. Fast-forward to 2021 and a major discovery
was submitted in a court filing on 13th April. It states
that a delivery driver has come forward and said he
saw Bobby with an unidentified, bearded man in his
50s-60s pushing a Toyota RAV-4 (the same model
Halbach drove) onto the Avery property in the early
hours of 5 November 2005.

Those who have watched part two of the Making A

Steven Avery was convicted for the murder of Teresa


Halbach in 2005 and is currently serving a life

innocence and, with the backing of Zellner, is fighting
for a re-trial. Avery's nephew, Brendan Dassey, was

Avery believes that the police framed him for the


murder of Halbach after he sued them for wrongful
conviction in 2003. In 2019, Avery's appeal for a new
trial was rejected.

Following this outcome, Zellner's hands were tied.


Instead of getting a new trial for Avery, the most she
and her team could do was have a judge look at the
existing case and assess whether the law was
applied fairly and correctly. This means no new
evidence brought to light could be shown in front of a
court and a jury, making it much harder to prove her
client's innocence.

She opened her car's rear cargo door to retrieve her

Kathleen also offered a different account for the

Making a Murderer lawyer Kathleen Zellner claims to


have been sent an "accidental voicemail" about
"evidence" in the Steven Avery case.

Kathleen is working to overturn Avery's life sentence


for the murder of Teresa Halbach, and part two of the
Netflix original documented her efforts.

And she hopes DNA testing on a pelvic bone, which is


thought to belong to the victim, would clear Avery's

family's scrap yard. Kathleen has alleged that the
bone was "planted" to "frame" her client.

Kathleen has now revealed the transcript of a


voicemail which she claims was left by mistake by
State prosecutors about the pelvic bone. This letter
was written on 13th February, and she has now sent it
to the Court of Appeals.

She alleges that Attorney Mark Williams called her by


accident instead of the Assistant Attorney General
Thomas Fallon.

Kathleen says that she has previously contacted


prosecutors to find out if the State has the pelvic
bone or whether it was returned to Teresa's family, but
has had no answer.

This voicemail, she alleges, shows prosecutors are
trying to avoid speaking to her.

According to the Mirror, her letter reads: "[...] the State


is trying to deceive undersigned counsel and this
Court about the status of the pelvic bone (#8675),
which was recovered in 2005 from the Manitowoc
Gravel Pit."

Referencing the alleged voicemail, Kathleen


continues: "Hi Tom, this is Mark Williams. I'll send you
an email later today, but I don't think we should do
anything or respond to her at all until tomorrow, uh,
when we look into the bag - and see exactly the pelvic
bones are in there or not.

"So I wouldn't respond until we look into the bag


tomorrow morning and then we can talk about it
before we send a response.

"Thanks a lot. Bye."

Avery, who was convicted alongside his nephew


Brendan Dassey for the murder, has always
maintained his innocence in the case.
