Making a Murder fans discover new evidence that may set Steven Avery free.
Binge-watching can immerse you into not a new world of mystery, adventure and suspense. But, after a show or series comes to end, the adventure usually ends right there. But not for these Making a Murderer fans. Just because you spent over 10 hours of your life watching a true crime documentary, doesn’t make you a hardcore fan. These fans were so disturbed by the series they decided to investigate the Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey trial. Fans meticulously went through every transcript and photo from the investigation and found something pretty incredible.
The latest discovery comes from this group following an analysis of the bone fragments pulled from the fire pit prosecutors accuse Steven Avery of using to burn Teresa Halbach’s body. During his trial, they claimed his backyard bonfire was so hot that it obliterated her remains, leaving nothing but tiny bone fragments without any DNA left. However, when fans took a close look at the “human” fragments collected, one particular bone fragment stood out. One bone fragment is clearly from a bird.
Therefore the claims from the defense that Steven Avery’s burn pit was regulary used to get rid of deer, rodents, and bird remains from hunting were probably true.
But it begs the question – how many of the bone fragments collected and attributed to Halbach were just burnt animal remains. In addition, it makes you wonder how a fire could be so powerful that it could turn a human skeleton to ashes, yet this bird wing remain largely intact?
As with many pieces of evidence in the Making of a Murderer case, there’s a lot of controversy mixed with conspiracy surrounding the bones found at Steven Avery’s burn pit. A proper investigation was never set up. In fact, a forensic grid was never put in place, and material from the pit was placed into boxes and sifted through back at the labs. In addition, record keeping and protocols were ignored by the forensic lab, which was something Steven Avery’s defense complained about throughout the entire murder trail.
“It is unclear whether some, all, or none of the fragments had been previously determined by the state’s forensic anthropologist to be human or not. In short, the defense has no way of knowing from this cryptic report what was sent to and examined by the FBI Lab.”
Netflix is currently shooting the second season of Making a Murder, so the bone evidence may come into play as Avery’s new attorney is working on exonerating him.
