In the United States A violent crime occurs every 27.1 seconds, one murder every 37 minutes, one rape every 6.6 minutes ( FBI-Murder). Steven Avery is a serial killer. He has his own tv show series called Making A Murder. Still till this day he says “I’m innocent”. In this paper I will give information about Steven Avery and all the details on his case. Date of Birth July 09, 1962 . Avery was born in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, to Allan and Dolores Avery. His family operated a salvage yard on the property where they lived. Avery had three siblings: Earl, Chuck, and Barb. He attended school in nearby Mishicot . However, in 1982, Avery met single mother Lori Mathiesen, and they married in July of that year.

The plate number, SWH582, was registered to Teresa Halbach’s 1999 Toyota Rav 4. Officers also found a “burn barrel” containing the remnants of burned clothing, a partially burned shovel, a cell phone, and a camera. Upon inspecting a fire pit near to Steven Avery’s home, officers found “bone fragments and teeth” as well as the “remnants of steel belts of tires.” They believed the tire belts might have been used as “fire accelerants.” A forensic anthropologist examined the bone fragments and determined that they belonged to an “adult human female.” A second forensic anthropologist examined the fragments and came to the conclusion that the corpse had been mutilated. Sherry L. Culhane, a DNA analyst with the Wisconsin Department of Justice, tested blood samples found in various locations inside Teresa Halbach’s car, including the driver’s seat, ignition area, front passenger seat, and rear passenger door entrance. Culhane found that the samples matched Steven Avery’s DNA profile. DNA material taken from the Toyota key found in Avery’s bedroom also matched his profile. DNA testing was performed on blood samples taken from the rear cargo area of the Toyota and from an empty can of Wild Cherry Pepsi found on the front console. The two profiles matched, and Culhane believed that they belong to Teresa Halbach. A partial DNA profile obtained from the teeth and bone fragments found in the fire pit matched in seven out of thirteen areas and were thus consistent with the profile worked up from the Pepsi can and the blood found in the cargo area. As reported by the Green Bay Press Gazette, Culhane would later testify that the chances were “one in a billion” that the human tissue found in the fire pit did not belong to Teresa Halbach (True Crime
