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 searching Steven's trailer when Lenk and Colburn, both named in Avery's lawsuit..."found" the key.

Today, we hear from Special Agent Tom Fassbender. co-lead investigator in the case against Steven Avery.

From the time that officials begin showing up, including at first, Manitowoc county, we learn about all the early and what feels like a very chaotic scene in the early searches.

Here, we learn about what agencies were involved, how the searches were conducted (at first) of the property, the buildings, and vehicles. He flat out says that the first person they look at is the last person to see the victim alive...and yet...this WASN'T Steven Avery.

And then there's the burn barrels.

Fassbender's testimony is very long and this episode is all the prosecution's questions...and then they broke for lunch. The prosecution isn't even done yet. We'll hear more in Part 2.

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 the department, because of course he is.

We’re talking questionable oversight, convenient memory lapses, and a scene that was allegedly “protected”—even though civilians somehow wandered right onto the lot.

Ask yourself: Does any of this actually make sense?

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 avoid touching the vehicle, and deferred entirely to Pam’s call to dispatch.

Meanwhile, Pam Sturm had testified she walked right up to the RAV4, read most of the 17-digit VIN through the windshield, and reported it. So... why didn’t trained law enforcement confirm it? Why were they so hands-off when the most crucial evidence had just been found?

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 Colborn - who had BOTH testified in Avery's civil lawsuit, were ALSO involved in this investigation even though it was supposed to be handed over to a different county. Why were people who had a direct stake in the outcome of Steven's legal lawsuit, also involved in a case where he was being looked at for murder? Sounds a little more than fishy.

Next episode preview:Deputy Peter O’Connor, Sgt. Jason Orth, and Deputy Inspector Todd Hermann—all Manitowoc County officers—all involved in the RAV4 discovery on Nov 5.

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 his testimony actually prove? If anything?

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 going to say what he was going to say. 

See Episode 11 - https://youtu.be/9ekO3bIPxEE 

They decided to hold off for the moment so they could interview him before questioning him. Instead, the choice is made to have Trooper Austin take the stand. 

This episode covers what Trooper Austin did in this case which was...forensic mapping. Laser measurements, 3D scene models and an animation that was supposed to bring it all together. 

The jury I'm sure left more confused after his testimony than ever.

🌟💰 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 of their underhanded little tactic. 

Timelines don't add up, witness statements from witnesses that aren't on the list are called into question, and the prosecution does a fabulous job of boring the jury to death by showing them multiple photos of Steven Avery's trailer (but it's from multiple angles...as if that makes a difference), shows tires, the car crusher, the 4,000 vehicles on the Avery property and...wait for it...golf carts! Yes, I said golf carts. 

There's a lot of courtroom drama in this one and that's why this portion is ONLY the prosecution questioning Bobby. The defense gets their turn in the next episode.

https://foulplay.site

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 approach the vehicle? What about the parts of the story that just don’t line up?

We’re breaking it all down—what she says, what she contradicts, and what’s just plain suspicious.

👀 And stay tuned—up next is a witness who’s been raising red flags for years: Steven Avery’s nephew, Bobby Dassey.
