Lt. Lenk wraps up his testimony and under the defense's questioning, some things don't quite add up.

He gets called to a homicide investigation...but then stops at a fast food restaurant first?

During his deposition, he said he got to the Avery salvage yard around 6:30 to 7:00 PM but in trial, he said it was around 2:00 PM.

During the deposition, he said he volunteered to search Avery's property but during the trial he said he was just "asked to assist".

Put all of this together, and the credibility of the man who “found” the key is left hanging by a thread.

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.

In Episode 31 of The Avery Trial, we hear from Lt. James Lenk. This is the detective who just "happened" to find the key inside Steven Avery's bedroom. The key that wasn't there on several other searches and just so happened to fit Teresa Halbach's vehicle.

But the weird thing is that the two officers who were constantly in Avery's home were the two Manitowoc officers who had just been deposed in Steven's $36 million lawsuit. Coincidence?

When the key to Teresa's RAV4 was located, it was after multiple searches had already been done inside Steven Avery's home. The discovery of it was...well...sketchy. In this episode, we'll hear how it was found straight from Colborn himself.

He was right near the bookcase, he said he was shaking the bookcase, and never saw the key until Lt. Lenk pointed it out. Sitting there in plain view.

Colborn also admits he felt pressure from Avery's lawsuit, you know that $36 million dollar one? Because he knew he could be named, personally. Which means he very well may be personally liable.

Another odd thing...Lenk and Colborn always did the searches of Avery's trailer together. Why?

This is where reasonable doubt starts to look like something more.

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

In Episode 29 of The Avery Trial, we hear more from Sergeant Colborn and find out how the key to Teresa Halbach's vehicle was discovered - and the timeline that seems a bit fishy.

Colborn claims he was shoving a bookcase back in place in Steve Avery's tiny bedroom when all of a sudden, Lieutenant Lenk pointed out the key. But with Calumet Deputy Kucharski nearby, distracted and writing a report, was anyone actually watching Lenk? And if Colborn didn’t see the key fall, how did it suddenly appear—days into the investigation?

We also get a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes power dynamics: how closely Lenk and Colborn worked, their ties to the Avery lawsuit, and even Colborn’s concern about being named a defendant in Steven Avery's civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County.

It can't help much either with honest testimony while Investigator Wiegert is present in the courtroom every day. We can’t help but ask—how much pressure were these officers under, and how much could they really say?

The Avery Trial: Episode 28 – Evidence Taken Before a Crime Was Confirmed

Thumbnail Text: Something’s Off Here

In Episode 28 of the Avery Trial, we dig into Sergeant Andrew Colburn’s testimony—and the moment the investigation shifted from a missing person to something much darker. Why were handcuffs and leg irons taken from Avery’s home before there was any confirmed crime? Why were the guns left behind?

This episode questions the early decisions made by law enforcement—what they took, what they ignored, and whether they followed procedure or jumped straight to guilt. Legally, constitutionally, something doesn’t add up.

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

In this episode, we wrap up the testimony of Sgt. William Tyson, the officer from Calumet county whose job it was to watch the Manitowoc officers while they searched Steven Avery's home.

The prosecution made a big deal about this bleach bottle in the bathroom but conveniently failed to mention that this is also where Steven's washer and dryer were located. They also made it wound as if Teresa's number in a notebook found in Steven's house was a piece of evidence even though two different colored inks were used. And then there's the hood latch swab which didn't happen until 5 months after the crime lab had the RAV4 in their possession.

Why?

Piece by piece, it feels less like they were uncovering the truth, and more like they were making sure Steven Avery was their guy.

Next time, Sergeant Andrew Colborn takes the stand — and his testimony could change everything.

Today, we hear more from the Calumet County officer who was the babysitter for Maniwooc Cunty officers as they searched Steven Avery's trailer. For three hours.

The jury learns about notebooks, phone numbers, a for-sale sign, and even a bleach bottle — framing them as incriminating evidence against Steven Avery. But are these items really proof of anything, or just everyday household objects twisted to fit a narrative?

Again, why were Manitowoc County officers involved? Still? And what about the carpet in Steven’s trailer — why didn’t investigators remove it if they believed a cleanup had happened? Why did it sit there, in the trailer, for months? After they had released the "scene"?

The inconsistencies are piling up, and the jury is being shown supposed evidence that in reality, anyone could have had in their home yet the prosecution is frames them as something nefarious. Are we seeing justice at work — or manipulation?

Then we hear the beginning of testimony from Sergeant William Tyson, who was "the guy" assigned to Manitowoc County officers as they did searches of items on the Avery property. Why was Manitowoc County still involved?

In this episode, we continue with John Ertl's testimony as the defense continues to question him. We learn about the handling of the contents of the burn pit outside of Avery's residence, the garaage, and whether or not the evidence was collected and documented properly.

Ertl talks about how the contents of the burn pit was collected and sifted. Not only that, faint luminol reactions in the garage that turned out to be...not blood.

Bottom line is, the crime lab team wasn't allowed to process the scene the way they were trained to do because others stepped in.

The DNA guy's testimony continues. In this episode, it's the defense who gets to question him. we'll hear about issues with evidence collection, timelines that don't quite add up, and why wasn't the state crime lab team given full control over key searches? They didn't even process Avery's home or garage from start to finish. Something that is done on nearly every other crime case.

It's interesting to say the least...

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

DNA doesn’t lie—at least, that’s what we’re told. But in Steven Avery’s trial, the way evidence was collected, handled, and explained leaves you scratching your head.

Today, we hear from the state’s DNA expert, John Ertl. He walks the jury through his role in collecting and documenting key evidence: from Teresa Halbach’s RAV4, to suspicious stains in Steven’s garage, to burn barrels, a golf cart (another distraction?) and even the car crusher that has become weirdly infamous.

But here’s the issue it was Ertl's team, the field response team who was called in to do the professional processing. Yet, when they got to Avery's garage, it had already been done. Not by them. By who then?

Why did investigators raise the car crusher ramp only to be told by Fassbender, “we don’t need that anymore”? Did the field response team really have to investigate there or was it a distraction because at the same time, Teresa's RAV4 was being moved into the trailer.

By the way, it was an enclosed trailer. Who was in the trailer with the car? Do we even know?

This is the first of a couple Episodes where Ertl is on the stand. This is Part 1 - the prosecution questions him. In the next episode, the defense gets a stab at him.

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

In this episode of Beach House 34, we hear the testimony of William Brandes, a volunteer firefighter who discovered Teresa Halbach’s missing license plates, and Trooper Cindy Paine, who confirmed that they were in fact, Teresa's plates.

Brandes admits to picking up the plates, which were folded. Then he unfolded them and read the number —before law enforcement secured the scene. He was wearing his own personal gloves, not department-issued ones, which matters. Meanwhile, law enforcement stood by and let it happen. No objection. No intervention.

What’s even more shocking? The defense barely pushed back when it came for their time to question him. And when it was the defense's turn to question Paine? They didn't ask her one.single.question.

How does that happen in a high-profile murder trial?

In this episode we wrap up Agent Fassbender's testimony. Specifically, the defense wraps up its questioning but not without Kratz having to chime in.

Defense attorney Buting presses on Fassbender about the lack of physical evidence in this case that ties Teresa to Steven Avery's home or garage.

So why then, four months into the investigation are bullet fragments just now being "found"?

Why is the smelter on the property dismissed as if it wasn't a big deal? And why do deputies named in Avery's civil suit keep showing up at the scene?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 sure it happened?

We'll hear her testimony, see how it relates to Ryan Hillegas and then hear what Kathleen Zellner's post-conviction documents say about this "find".

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 then hear what Kathleen Zellner had to say regarding Ryan in her filed post-conviction documents for Steven Avery and what she discovered about Ryan that was never brought up in trial.

This one's...very interesting.

In Episode 7 of The Avery Trial, we hear from Curtis Drumm, a pilot hired by the police department to do flyovers around the area. 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.

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 anyone really know where she went that day?

In Episode 5 of our deep dive into the Steven Avery trial, everyone's ready in the courtroom, and before the jury even walks in, the prosecution and defense are already fighting about what can and can’t be said.

Ken Kratz tries to slam the defense for suggesting someone else might have killed Teresa Halbach — but Dean Strang isn’t having it. We break down what the “Denny ruling” really means in plain English (spoiler: you can’t just blame some mystery person without proof).

Then, we hear from Angela Schuster, Teresa’s boss at AutoTrader. She explains how Teresa did these photo shoots, how “hustle shots” worked, and could it be possible that Teresa left the Avery property to head off to another shoot?

In this episode of Beach House 34, we dive into the first witness called by the state in Steven Avery’s murder trial: Michael Halbach, the younger brother of Teresa Halbach.

We’ll walk through Mike’s testimony, hear about Teresa’s routines, her photography business, her car, and the early days of the search. But we also hit a few red flags—exhibit confusion, awkward phrasing, and a clunky presentation by Ken Kratz.

Meanwhile, Dean Strang steps up for the defense and starts laying the groundwork for something deeper. Stick around. It’s just getting started.

Steven Avery spent 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Now he’s back on trial—this time for the murder of Teresa Halbach. In this episode, we hear the full opening statement from Avery’s defense attorney, Dean Strang.

He lays out a case that includes police tunnel vision, timelines that don't add up, and evidence that doesn't make any sense. By the end, you’ll be questioning everything—from the burn barrels to that mysterious Toyota key.

⚖️ This is a real-time, word-for-word trial read. No fluff. No filter. And I’m reacting with you as we go.

If you haven’t heard Episode 1 yet, go back and start there—we covered the prosecution’s opening. Things are just getting started.

After 18 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, Steven Avery was finally free. He was suing Manitowoc County for $36 million—until 25-year-old Teresa Halbach disappeared. Two years after his release, Avery was back in court. This time, for murder.
