Shelter vital over winter

Regardless of temperature, Trail's homeless sought beds at the local temporary shelter each night. By Sheri Regnier, Trail Times (Trail, British Columbia, Canada)
March 25, 2015  

Homeless people seek comfort from the elements regardless of how low the mercury dips.

That was the case during Trail’s mild winter, because no matter the temperature, an average of two people sought beds at the city’s temporary shelter each night.

The La Nina Extreme Weather Emergency Shelter offered services to mostly middle aged males who were homeless and needed a warm place to rest their heads from November 1 to February 28.

The demographic evolves from those who are homeless to women seeking shelter from domestic situations, and those travelling through the area for medical appointments with no transportation back home. One constant element since the shelter opened in the Trail United Church, is that over the past three years, people use the six-bed service snow, rain or shine.

“The usage for the shelter this year was steady in November and December due to a few individuals waiting for available housing,” said Teresa Crockett of Career Development Services (CDS), the organization that runs the shelter.

January slowed down, however the shelter was utilized for some crisis situations, she explained. “And individuals stranded and travelling through town.”

She said one to two people accessed the shelter nightly, with the most being four in one shift.

“But we never had to turn anyone away,” Crockett added.

Extreme weather response shelter programs are funded through BC Housing with a temporary purpose to provide spaces to individuals and families who are homeless during winter months when sleeping outside could threaten their health and safety.

Each year, CDS is required to apply for funding with a rationale as to why the service is needed, said Crockett, adding that the shelter staffs 14 individuals during the season.

As a key element in the strategy to break the cycle of homelessness, temporary shelters like La Nina and BETHS (Boundary Emergency and Transitional Housing Society) in Grand Forks or drop-in centres such as Nelson’s Stepping Stones for Success, are disbursed funding to help connect the homeless to support and housing services within their respective communities.

In Greater Trail, a joint venture between the Greater Trail Skills Centre and CDS called Getting to Home, was launched two years ago with a goal to end homelessness in region.

“The project well surpassed our ideas and what we had set forth to do,” said CDS spokesperson Gail Pighin. “We hope to raise funds as well as awareness that homelessness isn’t a problem that occurs in larger cities,” she continued. “It is alive and happening right here in Trail and the surrounding areas.”

The homelessness initiative began with 28 people on the roster in need of assistance, but by the end of June, the program helped 163 individuals from Rossland through to Fruitvale find a place to call home.

“This isn’t just about picking the person up and saying ‘Here is a house for you,'” said Pighin.

“It’s about looking at the dynamics and what has created this situation and how we can help them be in a better place and get the support they need.”

Single mothers, seniors on the verge of losing housing, youth transitioning out of foster care, brain injury clients and people struggling with mental health or drug and alcohol issues have all found housing through “the homeless are here if you choose to look” project.

“It’s not the guy you see walking around or sleeping under the bridge and other nooks and crannies in Trail,” said Pighin.

“We thought we would just get those guys and get them off the street. But it has turned out to me so much more.”

March 2016. A photo of a lady had surfaced. Theresa St Jean-Crockett (TSJ) of Trail, BC, Canada.

TSJ has a photography business called Photography by Theresa. TSJ was being researched by a facebook group and a lady in the group named Danni. A guy named Kyle O in that group is from Ontario, Thunder Bay, where TSJ claims she was originally raised. Kyle O was also in Chad Keller's group: The Official Anyone Could Have Dunnit Theory Group, at this time.

According to Chad:

Kyle O expressed to me that this group he was in with Danni had basically investigated this lady. So, my own group was basically a re-visit/re-write that focused on debunking claims. When I initially re-wrote this theory I was one of the inclination of this theory having absolutely no merit.

Kyle O tells me, “We’ve already debunked her, don’t give me any credit for anything.”

So, I do some investigating of my own. I write an article, do some photoshopping of some comparisons. I post in my group. BAM! The entire thing blows up. 150 comments in 10 minutes. Yada, Yada, Yada.

Kyle O gets mad that I didn’t give him any credit. Runs to TSJ and tells her all this nonsense that I’m posting her kids etc., etc., etc...

Well, TSJ contacts me and says she has evidence that I’m theorizing she’s this person from a documentary.

I’m like, first of all, I run a theory group that debunks theories. So, she agrees to an interview.

Now, during this interview [it’s very cordial] I wasn’t necessarily looking for signs of life. I was trying to literally debunk it. So, we chat for a good hour or so.

The following day, Kyle O [with his little feelings still hurt] proceeds to contact TSJ and dox me, basically. Kyle O proceeded to give TSJ false information that I was a child molester. [I’ve never been charged with child molestation in my life; furthermore, I have no felonies on my record. No, I don’t register as a sex offender. Blah, blah, blah—Manipulate this however you want. This isn’t important.]

What TSJ DID, stemming from this, is important. Here was a lady that claimed she had never been to Wisconsin nor has she ever seen Making A Murderer. TSJ claimed she allegedly called the Wisconsin authorities on me. I have never been contacted by any Law Enforcement. There was absolutely no harassment.

This person contacted Wisconsin Law Enforcement when neither she nor I live in Wisconsin. That, in itself, was kind of odd.

But, the more I thought about it—a few things began to unfold.

TSJ had told 3,000 plus people she has never been to Wisconsin.

Then, I re-read our little chat that we had, and I discovered TSJ had lied to thousands of people.

Not only did TSJ lie about having never visited Wisconsin, but a lot of things weren’t adding up. There were a lot of inconsistencies.

DO THESE INCONSISTENCIES WARRANT DNA?

Here’s the rundown: Per a recent email left with Kathleen Zellner.

Are TSJ’s parallel connections coincidental or merely a pattern?

She has matching teeth, fingers, eyes, scars, moles, ears (including the lobes).

Very distinctive are both St. Jean-Crockett’s and Halbach’s chin and jawline; long and very protruding.

St. Jean-Crockett is an avid participator in shooting in boudoir photography.

She claims photography (of all types) is her fun job; just a hobby. However, since 2008 she has had nearly $1 million in clients. In 2008, she was charging $1900 for weddings. This price is not a hobby price.

FALLON WON’T GIVE ZELLNER BONES:

The State Crime Lab has possibly only labeled the bones and blood as being Teresa Halbach.

You have to recall in the transcript, DCI says they didn’t get involved until November 5th.

However, Dave Remiker called DCI on the night of November 3rd.

So, if Teresa Halbach is alive… and living in Trail, British Columbia:

1. You have to test TSJ’s DNA with Karen Halbach’s

2. Do NOT test this DNA with the file from the State Crime Lab

3. DO test the child’s DNA with Ryan Hillegas

NOT WITNESS PROTECTION:

This is NOT a witness protection scenario.

If Halbach is alive:

AG Lautenschlager paid the Halbachs off.

AG Lautenschlager, privately and criminally, paid Teresa Halbach to disappear.

1. Parents got the MILC Grant for the dairy farm

2. Tim Halbach got partnered with Lautenschlager’s life long friend, George W. Twohig

3. Lautenschlager arranged Mike Halbach’s Green Bay Packer career through Chris Kirby and Bob Eckberg

4. These careers were all pre-arranged before Halbach was even reported missing!

13 years later, The Halbach Family is reported to be worth $20 MILLION—that AG Lautenschlager arranged for, prior to Teresa Halbach’s disappearance and alleged death.

What did Teresa Halbach want to do for a career?

Travel and be a photographer, right?

Is there a possibility Halbach is now in the most perfect place in the world, to do this? Trail, British Columbia?

TRUE FACTS:

At one of her jobs, St. Jean-Crockett is getting money washed by an ex boyfriend who went to college in LaCrosse, Wisconsin.

AG Lautenschlager gave this boyfriend $500,000 to start this business at a Law Enforcement Convention on October 14, 2005!

This is 17 days before Halbach is reported missing!

St. Jean-Crockett met her husband in Van, Mexico.

We know for a fact that Halbach traveled to Mexico.

Instead of going to Canada, the couple went to Brevard County, Florida.

This is the area where Halbach’s biological father died in the mid-80’s.

What are the odds St. Jean-Crockett ends up in the area where her biological father died and becomes employed by Richard Halbach’s friends for a year?

Now, while this is just a theory [worthy of any other theory] out there, the bottom line: the circumstantial evidence here of alive is greater than the circumstantial evidence used by the prosecution team to elicit death.

None of you can debunk this theory without DNA from TSJ.

[She’s the one that stated in an interview she would give Zellner her DNA.]

The only problem with this, Zellner could not test this DNA with what is on file. 

Zellner would have to test DNA with the Halbach Family.

There are so many coincidences surrounding TSJ that have not even been divulged yet.

However, I think DNA is warranted.

We are talking the freedom of 2 innocent men.

Like I told TSJ nearly three years ago: I apologize for whatever she’s been through, but 1,001 coincidences are no longer coincidental–they're a pattern.










There were multiple sightings of Teresa after 10/31/05 (sightings 11/1/05-11/8/05):
  1. Anna Knutsen of Valders says she saw Teresa taking pictures of cows on Madson Road, “literally kitty corner” to Trinity Lutheran Church at 11303 Wehausen Rd, Manitowoc, on the morning of November 1st, around 8:35 a.m.
  2. Barbara Linsmeyer says she saw Teresa in a white van with two men on the side of the road by the turnaround on highway 147 (around 23-minute mark in MTSO dispatch audio).
  3. Gary Ebert saw Teresa sitting next to a man, who was about 15 years older than her, on the ferry from Washington Island at 5 p.m. on November 4th (they didn't look like a likely couple to him, and she looked almost scared and appeared to be falling to sleep (around 29-minute mark in CASO dispatch audio).
  4. Leo Richmond of Kuss Road says Teresa knocked on his door at midnight on November 4th looking for a home in his area.
  5. A tip called in on November 7th from a teacher at Hilbert High School, who was told by a student that, when the McGlone family was distributing missing persons posters at a gas station in Sheboygan yesterday, November 6th, a person standing in line there said they had seen Teresa in Sheboygan the day before, November 5th.
  6. Two sightings of Teresa in Sheboygan with a black man on around midnight November 5-6th (one sighting in Walmart, another sighting in a white van at Taco Bell).
  7. Bill Crummel left a message on the police department's voicemail on November 8th saying he saw Teresa in a bar/restaurant (with a tree on its sign) on Lakeshore Drive and County Road Xx in Cleveland.



Two people from Sheboygan call CASO dispatch. The first caller at 6:30 p.m. on 11/5 says she saw Teresa with a black man following her into Sheboygan Walmart. The second caller at midnight says he saw Teresa at a Sheboygan Taco Bell, in a white van, with a black man next to her in the van.
Another potential witness, Barbara Linsmeyer, came forward, referencing a white van (at 16:27 and around 23-minute mark in MTSO dispatch audio). Barbara claims that she too physically witnessed Teresa. She stated that she saw Teresa on the shoulder side of the road, at the turnaround on highway 147, inside a white van/SUV with the hazard lights on. She said she could see her through the driver's side door, and was almost certain it was her. She also claims that Teresa was not alone and that there were two other occupants inside the vehicle with her (two men). Barbara contacted police and reported this information, but when she called she had only spoken with dispatch. She seemed sincere and concerned for this woman's safety, whoever it was, whether it was Teresa or not. Police never contacted her back at all.

Ryan may have seen Teresa on and after October 31st because he had her day planner page that should have been in her RAV4 (he turned it over to detectives on November 3rd).



Then there's the fact that everyone seemed to have advanced knowledge of her death (someone deleted some of Teresa's voicemail messages on November 2nd, before she was reported missing, and her missing persons poster was created on November 2nd). The Halbach family appointed Mike Halbach to be spokesperson. Therefore, anything he says is coming from the family. If not, they would categorically deny he speak for them. Thus, Mike is the Halbach family. They are smart and not saying anything. Why? Because they are in this deeper than people realize.

Zellner refers to the voicemails deleted from Teresa's cell phone, when she wrote in her motion: "...eleven voicemails were deleted before 7:12 a.m. on November 2, 2005." There was contention between Kratz and Buting over the accessing of Teresa's voicemail on November 2nd voicemail. Kratz argued: "Mr. Buting's position, if his theory of defense is that Teresa Halbach is alive on the 2nd of November, we're entitled to know that." Kratz argued that the information was irrelevant because it didn't answer the question of who killed her. Buting argued that the answer to the question was relevant to indicate that the cops did not investigate. Buting summarized: "Who was accessing Teresa Halbach's phone on November 2nd at 8 AM. Either she was alive and doing it herself or somebody who had the password to her voicemail was doing it. It's got to be one or the two." Judge Willis ruled for the prosecution and declared it irrelevant. So it never was determined who accessed Teresa Halbach's voicemail on November 2nd and deleted messages.



Wiegert: I did get a call last night, there was a Knutson, from Valders actually said she... she claims... she left she left me a voicemail which I haven't got, dispatch called me, she claimed, allegedly...she claims... she was on her way home and sees Teresa... and she sees Teresa pulled over taking a picture of a cow.

Remiker: Huh... she know Teresa?

Wiegert: No, just seen on the news... all this kind of crap. I'm going to get my ducks in a row and drive up to Valders, talk to her.

TYPE OF ACTIVITY: Follow Up (Discovery of Teresa Halbach's Vehicle)
Phone Interview of: Pamela A. Sturm
DATE OF ACTIVITY: 11/05/05 at approximately 10:29 a.m.
REPORTING OFFICER: Inv. Mark Wiegert

On 11/05/05 at 10:29 a.m., I (Inv. MARK WIEGERT of the CALUMET CO. SHERIFF'S DEPT.), as well as Sheriff PAGEL of the CALUMET CO. SHERIFF'S DEPT., was called into the CALUMET CO. DISPATCH CENTER.

Upon arrival in the dispatch center, I noted Sheriff PAGEL had taken a phone call from a lady who was later identified as PAMELA A. STURM. PAMELA had indicated to Sheriff PAGEL that TERESA HALBACH's vehicle had possibly been located at the AVERY'S AUTO SALVAGE yard near Mishicot. Sheriff PAGEL handed me the phone and I spoke briefly with PAMELA.

TYPE OF ACTIVITY: Supplemental Report
DATE OF ACTIVITY: 11/05/05
REPORTING OFFICER: Inv. Wendy Baldwin

On 11/05/05 at approximately 10:40 a.m., I (Inv. BALDWIN) began my shift and was requested by Inv. WIEGERT to follow-up on some information that had come in about the possible sighting of TERESA HALBACH. 

At approximately 11:13 a.m., I did make contact with ANNA P. KXUTSON, DOB 01/10/74, who informed me that on possibly Tuesday morning, she had seen a female fitting the description of TERESA on the highway taking photographs of cows.

Shortly after my arrival, Inv. WIEGERT had informed me that they located TERESA's vehicle
on the AVERY property.

At approximately 11:42 a.m., I arrived at W3559 CTH B.

http://www.stevenaverycase.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/CASO-Investigative-Report.pdf#page=68



On November 5th, a resident named Leo Richmond, who lives at 4201 Kuss Road, called in a tip about seeing Teresa at his door the night before (11:30 p.m. on Friday, November 4th); she was looking for a home in his area. Wiegert dismissed the tip and said he would call back later.




Steven Speckman didn't show up for his 10/31/05 11 a.m. appointment with Teresa Halbach in Sheboygan (3:05 mark in 11/11/05 CASO dispatch calls, video below):

"She was talking to him on the phone. She left Sheboygan about like ten, quarter after 11, because he (my friend, Steven Speckman) didn’t show up for the appointment."

Speckman called Tereasas at 12:44 p.m. on 10/31/05, at which time Teresa asked him if he could meet her in Sheboygan within the next 30 minutes. Speckman told Teresa that he couldn't, and Teresa replied that she would call him later to setup an appointment for next Monday (per his 2017 affidavit).

This is confirmation that Teresa Halbach was in Sheboygan around 11 a.m. on 10/31/05 (and not at home, as the State presented).



Teresa was in Sheboygan per the Calumet Dispatch Calls
By seekingtruthforgood, TickTockManitowoc
August 6, 2018

I am sharing a discussion between two Calumet Dispatch employees just after 2:30 AM on November 6, 2005.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CTg66Y8otJ0RtVvQV-xuoAw3vPKro1eG/view?usp=sharing

I think the two are discussing where Teresa was the day she went missing.

It's weird as a stand alone call. I know only because I have listened to the collection of calls around this time so I understood the context.

In context, Calumet had received a couple of calls from witnesses/workers who saw Teresa at Taco Bell and Walmart, in Sheboygan (that day/evening of the 5th?) with two other people in a white van.

It was reported that one of the guys was right next to her in Walmart, and it looked like he was following her - it was reported as suspicious... 

And then she was seen again at Taco Bell, in the passenger seat of this same van, with another (3rd guy) in the back.

That is rather interesting in terms of Zellner's affidavits from the two witnesses hidden from the defense, namely Denise (Coakley) and Steve Speckman, the guy who lived in Sheboygan.

Police do get lots of false sightings in these situations so it might just be that… [but] what struck me most was the reference to her being in Sheboygan. How would these employees know about that?

The witnesses were sent to the investigators but I haven't seen anything to suggest in the reports that CASO ever followed up.

In early 2007, Thomas Jon Bruechert reported to MTSO and then CASO that Roger Raduenz, who drove a white van, told him that he killed Teresa Halbach and framed Steven Avery. Raduenz also told Bruechert that inmates stole a vial of Steven Avery's blood from the Fox Lake prison hospital and gave it to Raduenz just before Raduenz's release.

I absolutely think Raduenz is involved with her murder, either as an accomplice or as her only killer.

As a side note, the audio of the police interview with Raduenz was requested through a FOIA request sent to Calumet. Calumet refused to provide the audio, citing it's sealed as part of the current/ongoing case. That strikes me as incredibly odd being Calumet claimed this was all a big nothing during 2007, and Raduenz is dead.

Here's another interesting thing. Raduenz's address in the CASO investigative report matches the mother of a guy named John, who was apparently a resident of the home which used to be located on the end of /corner of Avery Rd and 147. That house was torn down but appears to have still been there during 2005 based on Google maps. The obituary for the mother of John says she lived at that Manitowoc address (matching Raduenz) for years - it was a 62+ disabled persons housing apartment building. So, if she was there during 2007 when Raduenz lived there, it seems possible Raduenz had more than just Brendan and Allen in common with the salvage yard. Raduenz would have lived on the same 1st floor of the apartment building with John's mom. I imagine John may have met Raduenz while there taking care of or visiting mom.

And, it seems a son or nephew of John, Christopher, also has multiple battery convictions. He appears to be Bobby's age or just a little older by a year or two. Others have drug and alcohol related charges.

There are other tie-ins to Raduenz too, as it appears he may also have lived in the Hilbert area.

His involvement with this case strikes me as being very possible, and Calumet keeping his recorded interview under seal, in my opinion, further validates this possibility.

CASO detectives wrote their reports to obfuscate. 

The following is Inv. Gary Steier's interview of Bruechert on January 24, 2007, rearranged in a more logical order (the writing in all caps is commentary).

Page 1043 - COMMENTARY IN CAPS

Type of Activity: Interview of Thomas Jon Bruechert
Date of Activity: 01/24/07
Reporting Officer: Inv. Gary Steier

BRUECHERT FIRST CONTACTED MTSO AND RECOUNTED THE STORY THAT RADUENZ TOLD HIM WHEN THEY RODE TOGETHER IN RADUENZ'S WHITE VAN.

Thomas Bruechert had reported to the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department that a Roger R. Raduenz had told him he was in prison with Steven Avery. Bruechert stated he was given a ride by Roger RADUENZ in Roger RADUENZ's white van when RADUENZ informed Bruechert of the story he [Bruechert] had told the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department.

CASO MET WITH BRUECHERT AT HIS HOME IN MANITOWOC AFTER MTSO INFORMED CASO OF THEIR CONTACT WITH BRUECHERT.

On Wednesday, 01/24/07, at approximately 9:41a.m., I (Inv. Steier), along with Inv. Wendy Baldwin, both of the Calumet County Sheriff's Department, interviewed Thomas Jon Bruechert. Inv. Baldwin and I met Thomas Bruechert at the residence of 820 Redfin Court, Manitowoc, Manitowoc County. Thomas Bruechert indicated he was waiting for investigators to speak with him about the incident.

BRUECHERT RECOUNTED THE STORY THAT RADUENZ TOLD HIM WHILE HE RODE WITH RADUENZ IN HIS WHITE VAN, THAT HE WAS IN THE SAME PRISON WITH AVERY AND, AFTER AVERY WAS RELEASED, INMATES BROKE INTO THE PRISON HOSPITAL, STOLE THE VIAL OF AVERY'S BLOOD, AND GAVE IT TO RADUENZ WHEN HE LEFT PRISON (THEY KNEW HE WAS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED, SO THEY STOLE IT WITH THE INTENTION OF GIVING IT TO RADUENZ SINCE HE WAS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED).

Bruechert stated he had met Roger Raduenz at the Salvation Army in the City of Green Bay. Raduenz took Bruechert for a ride in his van and, while riding with Raduenz in his van, told him the story that Raduenz and Steven Avery were in the same prison. Bruechert did not know which prison Raduenz was referring to.

Bruechert said Raduenz stated the inmates at the prison were mad at Steven Avery.

Raduenz informed Bruechert that after Steven Avery was released, some other inmates at the prison broke into the prison hospital, stole the vial of Steven Avery's blood, and then turned the blood over to Raduenz, who was being released from prison.

BRUECHERT STATED THAT RADUENZ TOLD HIM THAT HE ALSO WAS GIVEN, ALONG WITH THE BLOOD, MINIATURE CAMERAS, WHICH WERE USED IN THE SETUP OF AVERY.

Bruechert indicated the blood was stolen by the inmates and given to Raduenz along with very small cameras. This was used to set up Steven Avery for the murder of Teresa Halbach. Bruechert was unclear how the miniature cameras were used in the setup of Steven Avery, but indicated they make very small cameras, which were given, along with the blood, to Roger Raduenz when he left the prison.

BRUECHERT STATED THAT RADUENZ SAID HE BEFRIENDED BRENDAN DASSEY (MAYBE HE SAID OR MEANT BOBBY AND NOT BRENDAN DASSEY) AND THE TWO OF THEM WOULD WATCH AVERY'S WHEREABOUTS AROUND THE AVERY PROPERTY. WHY WOULD HE DO THIS UNLESS HE WAS AN INFORMANT? AND WHY DID HE INVOLVE A DASSEY BROTHER? WAS HE AN INFORMANT WHO WAS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO BY LAW ENFORCEMENT?

Raduenz indicated he had befriended Brendan Dassey, and Raduenz and Dassey would watch Steven Avery's whereabouts around the Avery salvage property.

BRUECHERT STATED RADUENZ IMPLICATED HIMSELF IN THE MURDER OF TERESA HALBACH, CLAIMING HE CAME UPON HER ON 1-43, WHERE SHE HAD RUN OUT OF GAS, AND HE TRIED TO HAVE SEX WITH HER BUT SHE REFUSED SO HE KILLED HER. I-43 IS A HIGHWAY SO IT IS UNLIKELY THAT HE WOULD HAVE ASSAULTED HER THERE WITH THE HIGH LIKELIHOOD THAT THERE WOULD BE WITNESSES TO THE CRIME. HE DIDN'T ELABORATE ON THE DETAILS OF THIS ALLEGED ASSAULT. TERESA HAD ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE BY TEXTING #HELP ON HER CINGULAR CELLPHONE, SO WHY WOULD SHE SEEK ASSISTANCE FROM A STRANGER? DID RADUENZ ABDUCT HALBACH FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FORCE HER TO DRIVE HER RAV4 WITH HIM IN THE BACKSEAT WITH A GUN TO HER HEAD ONTO ANOTHER LOCATION, WHERE HE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED HER AND KILLED HER? BUT IF SHE WERE OUT OF GAS, THAT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE. HAD HER CAR BEEN ABANDONED ON I-43 BECAUSE SHE WAS OUT OF GAS, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SEEN IT THERE, YET THERE ARE NO REPORTS OF THAT. IS RADUENZ MAKING UP THE I-43 ENCOUNTER OR ANY ENCOUNTER WITH HALBACH?

Bruechert stated Raduenz went on to tell him that Raduenz had come upon Teresa Halbach, who had run out of gas on I43. He had tried to have sex with her, she refused and he killed her. After this was completed, he placed Teresa Halbach's vehicle at the Avery's Salvage Yard with Avery's blood, which he had stolen from prison, inside Teresa Halbach's vehicle.

BRUECHERT STATED THAT RADUENZ TOLD HIM HE USED THE "BACK WAY" INTO THE AVERY PROPERTY TO SETUP AVERY. BRUECHERT ALSO MENTIONS RADANDT'S GRAVEL PIT WHILE TELLING THIS STORY, BUT WITHOUT MUCH ELABORATION, UNLESS CASO LEFT OUT THE DETAILS IN THEIR REPORT (THERE IS AN AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS INTERVIEW BUT IT IS SEALED). ALL THAT IS WRITTEN ABOUT RADANDT IS THAT BRUECHERT BELIEVES RADUENZ IS RELATED TO THE RADANDT FAMILY WHO OWNS THE GRAVEL PIT SOUTH OF THE AVERY PROPERTY. DID RADUENZ TELL BRUECHERT AND DID BRUECHERT TELL CASO THAT RADUENZ WAS WATCHING THE AVERY PROPERTY FROM RADANDT'S DEER CAMP, WAITING FOR THE AVERYS TO LEAVE SO EVIDENCE COULD BE PLANTED? DID RADUENZ KILL HALBACH IN RADANDT'S GRAVEL PIT OR AT RADANDT'S DEER CAMP?

Raduenz would watch the back way to Steven Avery's property, and when Steven Avery would leave is when Roger Raduenz would move in and set up Steven Avery.

Bruechert believed Roger Raduenz was related to the family who owned the Radandt Gravel Pit south of the Avery property.

BRUECHERT STATED THAT HE WAS SCARED TO BE IN THE VAN [AFTER HEARING THIS STORY], SO HE GOT OUT AND STAYED AT A VILLAGE INN. BRUECHERT SAYS RADUENZ WAS A VERY DANGEROUS MAN WHO ALWAYS WAS KNOWN TO HAVE A KNIFE OR GUN ON HIM.

Bruechert indicated he was so scared to be in the van, he got out of the van and stayed at a Village Inn.

Bruechert indicated Roger Raduenz was a very dangerous man. Bruechert indicated he was scared of Raduenz who is always known to have a knife or gun on him.

BRUECHERT STATED RADUENZ, BEING A STATE INMATE, FOLLOWED A CODE OF SILENCE AND WOULD NOT SPEAK ABOUT WHAT HAD TAKEN PLACE TO ANYONE OTHER THAN OTHER INMATES, BUT RADUENZ CONFIDED IN BRUECHERT, WHO HAD NEVER BEEN IN PRISON, WHILE INSIDE RADUENZ'S VAN (BRUECHERT HADN'T BEEN IN PRISON BUT HAD BEEN IN AND OUT OF COUNTY JAIL).

Bruechert contradicted himself by indicating that state inmates have a code. When asked further about the code, Bruechert stated Raduenz, being a state inmate, would have a code like a code of silence and would not speak about this to anyone other than to other inmates about what had taken place. Bruechert stated, however, Raduenz had confided in him inside Raduenz's van.

Bruechert indicated he had never been in prison but had spent some time in the Winnebago Resource Center approximately 20 years ago.

BRUECHERT COULDN'T REMEMBER THE EXACT TIME RADUENZ TOLD HIM THIS STORY WHILE DRIVING IN HIS VAN, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS IN THE FALL OR DECEMBER OF 2006, A YEAR OR SO AFTER TERESA HALBACH DISAPPEARED.

Bruechert was asked when the conversation had taken place inside the van between himself and Raduenz. Bruechert estimated it to be a warrn day and told investigators he believed September, 2005. Inv. Steier informed Bruechert that Teresa Halbach had not been killed until later that year and was still alive in September, 2005. Bruechert then indicated he thought it was in the fall or December of 2006.

BRUECHERT STATED THAT RADUENZ WAS A TRUCKER, BUT BRUECHERT'S FRIEND, WHO WAS PRESENT DURING THE INTERVIEW, SAID RADUENZ WAS NOT A TRUCKER BUT DROVE A WHITE U-HAUL TYPE VAN, WHICH HE DROVE AROUND WITH STOLEN GOODS IN THE BACK.

Bruechert indicated Raduenz was a trucker. Bruechert stated he did not know the whereabouts of Roger Raduenz and was trying to locate where he was.

The female subject who was present, who wished not to be identified, identified only by her first name of Sandra, indicated she also knew Roger Raduenz.

Sandra indicated Roger Raduenz was never a truck driver but drove a white panel van, which he drove with stolen goods in the back. Sandra indicated Roger Raduenz would steal stuff and transport the stolen items in his van. She described it as a white moving truck like a U-haul type.

She indicated she contacted her son, Travis Lemay (ph), approximately 32 years of age, by cell phone and asked her son, Travis, if he knew where Raduenz was.

According to Sandra, Travis told her over the phone that Roger Raduenz was trouble and Thomas Bruechert should stay away from him. Sandra also indicated Travis said he had beaten up Roger Raduenz once and did not like him. Sandra also indicated Travis stated he has not seen Roger Raduenz since.

TYPE OF ACTIVITY: Interview of Roger R. Raduenz
1325 N. 8th Street, #121 Manitowoc, WI 54220, No Phone
DATE OF ACTIVITY: 01/26/07
REPORTING OFFICER: Inv. Gary Steier

On Friday, 01/26/07, I (lnv. STEIER), along with Inv. WENDY BALDWIN, both of the CALUMET COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, did interview ROGER R. RADUENZ. M/W, DOB 11/09/42, at his apartment complex of 1325 N. 8th Street, Manitowoc, WI.

Investigators identified themselves as from the CALUMET COLINTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT and informed RADUENZ they were investigating the TERESA HALBACH murder. RADUENZ indicated he had nothing to say.

Inv. STEIER informed RADUENZ an individual, who he had given a ride in his van, had told investigators a story. RADUENZ remembered the individual, describing him as the guy from Two Rivers. RADUENZ also indicated the guy was always in jail.

RADUENZ was asked if he knew STEVEN AVERY. RADUENZ replied he only knew him from the junkyard.

RADUENZ was asked if he was ever in prison with STEVEN AVERY. RADUENZ indicated he probably was in prison at the same time as STEVEN AVERY but never had contact with him.

RADUENZ indicated no one had ever given him anything to take out of prison nor had anyone given him blood to take out of prison.

RADUENZ indicated he was out of prison before anything like that had ever happened.

RADUENZ stated he was familiar with the story Inv. STEIER began to explain to him (the story of prison inmates smuggling STEVEN AVERY's blood out of the prison).

RADUENZ denied having any mutual acquaintances between himself and STEVEN AVERY while in prison.

RADUENZ then informed investigators he was in MANITOWOC COUNTY JAIL with STEVEN AVERY the first time STEVEN AVERY was charged with a rape case in the 1980s. RADUENZ indicated he was in the same cellblock as STEVEN AVERY but did not speak with him nor was he in the same cell as STEVEN AVERY.

RADUENZ said no other inmates would have been talking with STEVEN at the time because they were both in isolation. No other inmates were in the same cell as himself nor was anyone else in STEVEN AVERY's cell.

RADUENZ denied ever being aware of any blood from STEVEN AVERY while he was in the MANITOWOC COUNTY JAIL or while STEVEN was in prison. RADUENZ indicated he was not aware about it and DNA was not even talked about back then.

RADUENZ denied telling a story about STEVEN AVERY's blood to THOMAS BRUECHERT.

RADUENZ also denied ever having met or having contact with TERESA HALBACH.

RADUENZ indicated THOMAS BRUECHERT had probably told the story to get ROGER RADUENZ in trouble.

RADUENZ did recall giving THOMAS BRUECHERT a ride in the winter of 2005.

RADUENZ stated in the fall of 2005, he was a truck driver for DEDICATED SYSTEMS. RADUENZ indicated he was an over the road truck driver and was never in the area. He indicated his truck driving would take him to Texas, Florida, Louisiana and Atlanta. RADUENZ indicated when he did return from his truck driving routes, he was only in the area one or two days and he would be gone again with an over the road delivery. RADUENZ indicated he lived in his truck semi trailer at the time he worked for DEDICATED SYSTEMS. RADUENZ indicated he did not have a home address, only a P.O. Box at the time. RADUENZ indicated he did have all his log books to show where he was back in 2005. When Inv. STEIER asked to see his log books in his apartment, and asked if the log books were in his apartment, RADUENZ indicated he did not want to answer that because they would probably get stolen now.

Inv. STEIER then showed RADUENZ his badge and produced for RADUENZ a photo ID of a CALUMET COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT employee as well as a WI Driver License. RADUENZ then indicated he was okay in believing I worked for law enforcement.

RADUENZ was again asked if he had told the story to THOMAS BRUECHERT of how he smuggled STEVEN AVERY's blood out of prison. RADUENZ again denied the implication that he was involved in TERESA HALBACH's murder or framing STEVEN AVERY.

RADUENZ indicated he would not have been asked by prison inmates to help carry blood out because he was friendly with the guards. RADUENZ indicated his being on the good side of the prison guards allowed him to work with tools and do maintenance. RADUENZ indicated he would never do anything like that to start with because it would break his trust with the guards and he would not have been allowed to use the tools in the maintenance position.

RADUENZ indicated the story was a lie and THOMAS BRUECHERT was a liar. RADUENZ indicated BRUECHERT had asked him for $20.00 during the time he had given him a ride in the fall of 2005.

RADUENZ indicated he did not know TERESA HALBACH and he had not killed TERESA HALBACH.

RADUENZ indicated he had been at the AVERY'S SALVAGE YARD looking for parts prior to TERESA HALBACH's disappearance. RADUENZ stated he hung around with AL AVERY but did not hang around with nor was he friends with STEVEN AVERY or any of his brothers.

RADUENZ indicated the only thing he had to do with the AVERYS was on a previous occasion he had gotten parts from the AVERY'S SALVAGE YARD. That was the only thing he had in common with STEVEN AVERY. RADUENZ indicated the last time he had been to the AVERY'S SALVAGE YARD, he had looked for a power steering pump for his van. He indicated the AVERY brothers were too busy to wait on him. He did find a van, however, he did not purchase the power steering pump from the AVERY'S SALVAGE YARD.

RADUENZ indicated he believes the last time he had been at the AVERY'S SALVAGE YARD, which was to buy the power steering pump, would have been in September, 2005.

RADUENZ was asked by investigators if he had ever helped a stranded motorist on I43.

RADUENZ indicated he could recall helping a stranded Sheboygan motorist in a canteen truck.

RADUENZ was asked if he had ever given TERESA HALBACH a ride. RADUENZ indicated not that he remembered. RADUENZ was asked if he knew what TERESA HALBACH looked like. RADUENZ indicated he had seen a picture of her in the paper. RADUENZ stated he still would not be sure if he had given her a ride because of the way women can change their hair.

RADUENZ indicated there was a time when he worked out in Washington State for a MANPOWER COMPANY. RADUENZ indicated there were two girls that worked for MANPOWER with two different names. RADUENZ indicated they turned out to be the same individual. RADUENZ then indicated the woman had changed her name three times but was the same woman just using three different names. RADUENZ indicated he had gone to this place too many times and had noticed this female using multiple names. RADUENZ then indicated that if Inv. BALDWIN were to shave her head, he would not recognize her. RADUENZ indicated a lot of blacks do that now, they have their hair up and the next time you see them in the same spot they are bald.

RADUENZ indicated he had never picked up a white female on I43 who was a stranded motorist or given assistance to a white female.

RADUENZ indicated he did not kill TERESA HALBACH and there would not be any reason for him to do that. RADUENZ also denied taking TERESA HALBACH's body and placing it by STEVEN AVERY's trailer in an attempt to frame STEVEN AVERY. RADUENZ also indicated he did not take any of STEVEN AVERY's blood and place it on the AVERY compound in an attempt to frame STEVEN AVERY.

RADUENZ theorized that someone with motive would have done the murder. RADUENZ lacked motive.

RADUENZ indicated he did not need a business card from Inv. STEIER because he knew that he was a police officer and if he had any information, he could call the MANITOWOC COUNTY SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT or the CALUMET COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT.

The interview ended at approximately 1:03 p.m. The ROGER RADUENZ interview was recorded. The recording CD was placed into evidence.

As investigators were leaving the apartment complex, Inv. STEIER did notice a white van with WI registration of 626-JNP. A vehicle registration check of the van listed to a ROGER RADUENZ. Inv. STEIER and Inv. BALDWIN were able to look through the numerous van windows into the interior of the vehicle. Inv. STEIER and Inv. BALDWIN did not observe any dried bloodstains or any substance that would appear to be bloodlike.

STEIER'S REPORT ON PAGE 1050 IS A MESS. IT SAYS RADUENZ WAS IN ONE PRISON FROM JUNE 1983 TO OCTOBER 2003 AND MOVED FROM PRISON TO PRISON UNTIL HE WAS RELEASED FROM WAUPUN IN JULY 1984. NOW HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?!

STEIER HAS ACCESS TO PRISON RECORDS THAT THE PUBLIC DOESN'T, SO WHY WOULD HE USE AS PRISON LOCATOR WEBSITE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC TO LOCATE RECORDS FOR RADUENZ WHEN HE COULD USE WILENET, A LAW ENFORCEMENT WEBSITE, ETC.

AVERY AND RADUENZ WERE IN FOX LAKE PRISON TOGETHER SOMETIME BEFORE AVERY WAS MOVED TO STANELY ON 6/10/2003, WHICH WAS THREE MONTHS BEFORE HIS EXONERATION AND RELEASE ON 9/11/2003.

STEIER BOTCHES HIS REPORT AND DOESN'T LIST WHEN RADUENZ AGAIN WAS INCARCERATED AFTER HIS 12/16/1998 RELEASE, BUT HE WAS IN FOX LAKE WITH AVERY (HE WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON SHORTLY AFTER AVERY'S RELEASE).

STEIER DOESN'T LIST THE DATE RADUENZ ENTERED FOX LAKE PRISON AND HE DOESN'T LIST HIS RELEASE DATE FOR HIS LAST INCARCERATION (IT APPEARS TO BE 10/8/2003). SO IF A BLOOD VIAL WAS STOLEN BY INMATES, IT WAS STOLEN AT FOX LAKE AND GIVEN TO RADUENZ PRIOR TO HIS LEAVING PRISON ON OR AFTER 10/8/2003.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE REPORT ARRANGED IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER.

TYPE OF ACTIVITY: Comparison of Prison Locations for Roger Raduenz and Steven Avery
DATE OF ACTIVITY: 1/25/07
REPORTING OFFICER: Inv. Gary Steier

On Thursday, 01/25/07, I (Inv. STEIER) used Wilenet, a law enforcement website for the State of Wisconsin, to determine WI DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS locations for STEVEN A. AVERY and ROGER R. RADUENZ. Both records from the DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS were printed and are attached to this report.

I compared the correction facilities where STEVEN AVERY and ROGER RADUENZ were located during their time of incarceration. In comparing the locations, ROGER RADUENZ and STEVEN AVERY were not incarcerated in the same facility at the same time.

Information provided on the offender.doc.state.wi.us website shows ROGER R. RADUENZ was incarcerated from 09/01/81 at WCI RECEPTION to 10/02/81 where he was incarcerated at WAUPUN PROPER. RADUENZ stayed at WAUPUN PROPER from 10/02/81 to 06/02/83 where he was transferred to FOX LAKE until 10/08/03. On 10/08/03 he was returned to WAUPUN PROPER for release on 07/24/84.

RADUENZ was again incarcerated on 05/22/86 at DODGE RECEPTION until 07/17/86. He was moved to WAUPUN PROPER and released 8/11/87.

On 04/18/91, RADUENZ was again at DODGE RECEPTION until 06/13/91 when he returned to WAUPUN PROPER until 08/02/93. He was moved KETTLE MORAINE INSTITUTION until 12/15/98, at which time he was released.

[The part about him again being incarcerated is missing from the report, so date of incarceration is dd/mm/yyyy.]

STEVEN A. AVERY's records of the location of his incarceration show 11/29/82 DODGE RECEPTION. He was moved out for a court appearance on 12/22/82 and returned on 12/23/82 to DODGE RECEPTION. He stayed at DODGE RECEPTION until 01/28/83, where he moved to KETTLE MORAINE. On 06/21/83, he was moved to WCCS-SB POWERS where he stayed until 08/12/83 when he was released.

On 03/18/86, STEVEN AVERY was again in DODGE RECEPTION until 04/25/86, when he was moved to GREEN BAY CI until 05/20/86. On 05/20/86, he was moved to the MANITOWOC COUNTY JAIL for court and returned from Manitowoc County on 05/21/86 to Green Bay. STEVEN AVERY was moved from Green Bay again for court on 07/11/86 to Manitowoc County and then returned from Manitowoc County to GREEN BAY CORRECTIONAL on 07/14/86. AVERY stayed at GREEN BAY CORRECTIONAL until 04/19/94, where he was moved to FOX LAKE CORRECTIONAL INSTITUTION until 10/19/98. On 10/19/98, he was moved to CCA WHITEVILLE until 11/28/01. On 11/28/01, he returned to FOX LAKE CORRECTIONAL until 06/10/03. On 06/10/03, he was moved to STANLEY and was released from STANLEY on 09/11/03.

Roger R. Raduenz died on October 16, 2007.

http://www.deathfigures.com/index.php?q=Raduenz&state=WI

Roger's brother, Michael Raduenz, died the day after Roger died, on October 17, 2007. He died in Casa Grande at RTA Hospice House, aged 58.

http://www.tributes.com/obituary/show/Michael-A.-Raduenz-81901894

Very odd that Roger and Michael died within one day of each other.

Kathy Raduenz is one of Roger Raduenz's six sisters.

Their father's obituary:

LESTER E. RADUENZ

Lester E. Raduenz, 71, of 818 Buchholz St., Two Rivers, died Friday morning, Dec. 14, at Holy Family Hospital, Manitowoc.

Funeral services will be 10 a.m. Monday at St. Mark Catholic Church, Two Rivers. The Rev. Robert Sladek will officiate and burial will be in Holy Cross Cemetery,
Two Rivers.

Mr. Raduenz was born Dec. 1, 1913, at Manitowoc, son of the late Edward and Veronica Mrotek Raduenz. He attended St. Boniface Parochial School. Mr. Raduenz was employed at Kaufman Manufacturing Company form 1939 to 1947 and then at Hamilton Manufacturing Company until 1950, when he joined the Two Rivers Fire Department until retiring in 1975 as a Lieutenant.

He married Mabel Koch and she preceded him in death in 1945. He then married Lorraine Gilbert, Dec. 27, 1947, at Two Rivers. 

Mr. Raduenz was a member of St. Mark Parish and served in the National Guard from 1932 to 1939.

Survivors include his wife; two sons and a daughter-in-law, Roger Raduenz of Two Rivers and Michael and Sandy Raduenz of Manitowoc; six daughters and five sons-in-law, Rogene and George Cronk of Manitowoc, Connie and James Kronforst of West Germany, Sue and Karl Kimmes, Ann and Edward Kubichek, Valerie and Scott Stevens, and Kathy, all of Two Rivers; a brother, Oliver of New Jersey; a sister, Mrs. Sylvia Mrotek of Manitowoc and 14 grandchildren.

Roger's sister Kathy Raduenz would have been born in the 1940s or 1950s (Roger was born in 1942). She was engaged to Ralph Kratz in 2003, which would have made her at least 50-something at the time. Three years later, in September 2006, Kathy's last name still was Raduenz (per her mother's obit), so she never married Ralph Kratz, who was her fiance in September 2003 (per her stepfather's obit), or she never took his name. There aren't any records online for "Ralph and Kathy Kratz in Wisconsin," so most likely she never married Ralph Kratz and still goes by the name Kathy Raduenz (and maybe never married).

Raduenz's mother Lorraine died on September 25, 2006. Her obituary at this link:

http://findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi/http%22//%3C/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=132883760

The stepfather's obituary in 1984 lists Lorraine's two sons and six daughters; however, Lorraine's obituary in 2006 only lists one son and five daughters: Roger and sister Rogene are not mentioned.

Roger Raduenz formerly was married to Shirley Rouse Raduenz.

Roger and Shirley both lived in Bremerton, Washington.

Roger Raduenz worked in Washington State for a Manpower company. 

Ken Petersen was in Seattle, Washington when Teresa disappeared.

MANITOWOC COUNTY SHERIFF KEN PETERSEN'S PRE-TRIAL TESTIMONY

Q. Your department had been involved in early steps in the investigation of Ms Hallbach's disappearance?

A. Correct.

Q. Maybe you would explain, then, for me, what you mean when you say, indirectly, the decision that Saturday morning was made by you?

A. I had been out of town the previous week. I was out in Seattle, Washington. And I arrived home probably 10:30, quarter to 11, Saturday morning. And that decision to transfer had already been made, I assume, by the inspector. I never inquired. I agreed with the way it was going, so I didn't interfere.

Q. Okay. I need to explore that just a little bit further to nail down timing. When you say you arrived home, do you mean physically at your home?

A. Yes.

Q. All right. You didn't go in to work immediately that Saturday morning?

A. No.

Q. Had you been in contact with the office during the course of that week in Seattle?

A. No.

Q. So you really were --

A. The first I heard --

Q. -- out of loop so to speak?

A. Yeah. The first I heard about the Halbach case was when a reporter called me Saturday after 11.

Q. Do you recall about when, after 11?

A. About 11:15, somewhere in that general area.





Theories that Teresa is alive have her living in Point Roberts, Washington, at some point in time after she disappeared.

The relative isolation and security checkpoint has bred a local brand of folklore: that the Point is teeming with people in the federal witness protection program.

Known as an exclave, Point Roberts is a bit of an oddity in that it’s not an island and yet it’s completely separated from the rest of the U.S. The only way to travel from Point Roberts to the rest of Washington and the U.S. is by passing through one international border crossing into Canada, driving 25 miles, and passing through another international border crossing into the U.S. Another 20 miles past the border at Blaine is Bellingham, Washington, the seat of Whatcom County, which oversees this unincorporated town in a strange bit of almost international bureaucracy.

Resident Kathryn Booth says the border tends to dominate outsiders’ perception of the town. As the operator of pointrobertstourism.com, she’s the self-appointed public relations face of Point Roberts, and she’s heard her share of incredulous visitors since moving here in 2009. “They’ll say ’Oh my god, how do people live here? It’s like a police state.’ And in some ways it kind of feels that way.”

“On the one hand, it’s been rated the safest community because it’s like having a really, really, really strict security guard gate,” Booth says.

Point Roberts is also a good place to get away—or to hide out. Thanks to Canada’s fairly strict border crossing rules, it’s difficult for people with criminal records to cross over, so even ex-felons who can move freely about in the U.S. wouldn’t easily be able to find their way into Point Roberts. This is part of the reason the town is, unofficially, home to about 50 people in the U.S. Marshals Service’s Witness Security Program, or Witness Protection. Other residents have come here seeking their own protection.

“That border works like a charm,” says Booth. “Restraining orders and things don’t hold up. But if they can’t get a passport, the border works real good.”

https://www.citylab.com/design/2012/02/strange-existence-point-roberts-washington/1265/

Lying 20 miles south of Vancouver, Canada, Point Roberts is situated on the tip of a land peninsula just below the 49th parallel, the border between the U.S. and Canada.

Although Point Roberts is considered to be part of the United States, it is separated from the U.S. and the rest of the state of Washington by an international border.

In order to get to Point Roberts, one must drive into Canada, make a u-turn around Boundary Bay, and cross the border again to get back into the U.S. and into the town of Point Roberts.

Many Canadians cross the border at Point Roberts to access better prices on goods in the U.S. that don’t carry Canada’s 12 percent tax.

Because of the border crossing in Point Roberts and the presence of Border Patrol Agents and employees, this small town of just 1100 residents has been rated as a very safe and secure place to live – so safe, in fact, that it’s a hidden fact that 50 people in the U.S. Witness Protection Program reside in Point Roberts.

So many shady characters in this strange land around Manitowoc!






Mike Halbach: "We love the police. Apparently the other family doesn't." Mike Halbach: "If this case goes to trial, put the tape of his confession in the VCR or DVD player and play it, that's our case right there." Reporter: "Have you seen the confession?" Mike Halbach: "I haven't."



Farming operations run by the Wisconsin Department of Corrections date back to the 1800s. These days, inmates who work on the farms earn between 40 cents and $1.60 an hour. The prison farms produce enough milk and other dairy products to supply all prisons across the state. Last year, the state struck a deal with the Minnesota Department of Corrections to supply it with milk as well. Because of that agreement, Wisconsin sold 5 million half-pint cartons of milk to Minnesota last year. [Source]
























 

"I am not sure there ever was a murder. Also, think of the title of the documentary. I was living there when all this went down and the behavior of the police and the press was more than bizarre. Even the behavior of the locals was very odd...nobody wanted to talk about it. It's hard to describe, but the whole atmosphere was strange. So little is known about Teresa Halbach. What was she doing in Australia, Mexico or was it Spain...anyway, it was never said. Did she go there for photography jobs? Where are samples of her work? Why would she be working for AutoTrader when they said she only made less than $10 per shot." - primak





Starting at the 7:00 minute mark in the video above, Dolores Avery tells Steven that a man in Green Bay saw Teresa Halbach driving her green RAV4 in December 2005. He tried to follow her but got stuck in traffic. The man is positive it was Teresa and says "he would swear in court to that." Steven tells Rollie Johnson about this man in the video below.

Also in the video below, Rollie says at the 15:50 mark: "Where's the evidence that she even died?" Steven says at the 17:50 mark: "Somebody seen her (Teresa). It seems like they paid her off... Somebody's been hearing that she is out of the state, out of the country, Mexico or something... there's something fishy."

Steven says at the 19:45 mark: "Her dad (Teresa's uncle and stepdad) was supposed to have something to do with this county jail (Calumet County). Rollie replies: "I've heard rumors before that he works for the Sheriff's Department" (but he can't remember who told him that). And just before this conversation, Steven tells Rollie that a male relative of the Halbach family was taken into custody at the Calumet County jail on Monday, and Steven saw Teresa's sister out there when this family member was brought in, yelling and screaming.


















"A much younger picture of Teresa would not line up with a older picture of Teresa. The facial skeleton experiences morphological changes with age. A very prominent change is an increase in the area of the eye sockets: they become wider and longer. The biggest changes occur in a person's 40s and 50s but can begin as early as the mid 30’s."
