WHO KILLED TERESA? Steven Avery, a young married father of five, was wrongfully convicted of a brutal Wisconsin crime he didn't commit in 1985 and spent years in prison for it. Years later, freed from prison to much media fanfare, he is convicted of murdering and burning a young photographer, Teresa Halbach, who came to his family's junkyard to photograph a van on Halloween. Steven Avery is sent back to prison, along with his nephew Brendan Dassey. Fast forward to Christmas 2015, when Netflix drops a new bombshell streaming true crime series called "Making a Murderer."
The series convinces online sleuths and people all over the world that Avery was innocent a second time, perhaps framed by law enforcement. This book, by an award-winning, veteran Wisconsin crime reporter who traveled to Manitowoc to do first-person reporting after the Netflix series dropped, compares the "Making a Murderer" documentary's claims to the evidence in the murder case. Using trial testimony, crime scene photos, defense motions, and first-hand investigation, this true-crime book explores the documentary's deceptions as it attempts to answer the question at long last: Who killed Teresa Halbach?
