Originally aired on the Beach House 34 True Crime & Paranormal Podcast

We hear more from Lt. James Lenk and we hear about the key. Oh, the infamous key. How he says it was found. How it weirdly just showed up.

He also gets questioned about his role as "evidence custodian" for Manitowoc County. This ties him to the blood vial that was included in the evidence in Avery's 1985 case. Did he know it was there? Did he see it? The defense pushes hard on the chain of custody.
