DOWNERS GROVE, IL — On Monday morning, just as she promised, Kathleen Zellner, the world-famous lawyer responsible for overturning the wrongful conviction of Steven Avery, made a big announcement. “We are pleased to announce that a reward of $100,000 is being offered, by a concerned citizen, for the arrest and conviction of the real killer of Teresa Halbach,” Zellner revealed. “All tips should be called in to (630) 847-3733.”
Zellner has maintained that the Manitowoc County native is totally innocent of the Oct. 31, 2005, disappearance and murder of Wisconsin photographer Teresa Halbach, who was a regular visitor to the Avery Salvage Yard. Avery was in the midst of $36 million police misconduct federal lawsuit against the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office at the time of Halbach’s disappearance.
The Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office took control of the Halbach investigation, but a number of sheriff’s officials were suspected of planting evidence and concealing the true circumstances of Halbach’s disappearance and death.
For instance, Zellner has determined that Halbach, 25, most likely met her demise off the seldom-traveled Kuss Road near the Manitowoc County quarry properties, which is at least a half-mile away from Steven Avery’s property.
The area along Kuss Road is where the police dogs found Halbach’s scent. However, the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office arrested Steven Avery the following week, prior to the lawsuit deposition of retired Manitowoc County Sheriff Tom Kocourek. Manitowoc County claimed that Halbach was killed inside Avery’s mobile home along Avery Road.
Avery’s arrest caused his $36 million lawsuit against Manitowoc County to implode and the deposition of former Sheriff Kocourek, who was accused of framing Avery for a 1985 rape along the shoreline of Lake Michigan, never occurred.
Additionally, several bones, believed to be Halbach’s, were recovered from the Manitowoc County quarry properties and, in recent years, the bones were returned by the authorities to the family of Teresa Halbach, Zellner was able to uncover. During the midst of Avery’s post-conviction appeal, Avery’s previous post-conviction lawyers were not made aware of the return of the bones to the Halbach family in 2011, Zellner learned within the past year.
The Manitowoc County man remains in the Wisconsin Department of Corrections, but Zellner insists that it is only a matter of time before the Wisconsin Court of Appeals agrees that his murder conviction was a sham and should be overturned.
The plight of Steven Avery and his other nephew, Brendan Dassey, was the subject of two world-wide documentaries on Netflix, Making a Murderer I and Making a Murderer II.
