Affidavits of Steven Avery

The **affidavits of Steven Avery** are affidavits signed by Steven Avery, the Defendant-Appellant, for his attorney Kathleen Zellner. Avery signed a total of three affidavits. The first affidavit was used in Zellner's June 2017 *Motion for Post-conviction Relief*. The second affidavit was signed in November 2017, over a month after the Judge had denied the motion, and the third came in June 2018.

## Affidavit of 23 November 2016

**Now comes your affiant, Steven A. Avery, Sr., and under oath hereby states as follows:**

1. I am of legal majority and can truthfully and competently testify to the matters contained herein based upon my personal knowledge. The factual statements herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. I am of sound mind and I am not taking any medication nor have I ingested any alcohol that would impair my memory of the facts stated in this affidavit.
2. I told my trial defense lawyers that my blood in the RAV had been taken from my sink.
3. Whenever I had to crush a vehicle, I used a front-end loader. I would not keep a key for any vehicle that I intended to crush. Even if I did not use a loader to move a vehicle, I would not need the key to start it because I could hot-wire it.
4. I made a number of appointments for *AutoTrader* photo shoots with Teresa Halbach before October 31, 2005. On days when we had scheduled appointments, Teresa Halbach would call me if she was running late.
5. No guns were shot in the garage except Rollie Johnson's .22 rifle. I know that Rollie would shoot his rifle into gopher holes near the garage door. Sometimes bullet fragments and shell casings ended up on the floor of the garage. Sometimes, Jodi Stachowski would fire Rollie Johnson's Marlin .22 caliber rifle into the floor of the garage.
6. There were seven burn barrels on the Avery property. Barb had four, Chuck had one, Allan and Delores had one, and I had one.
7. The back panel of Roland Johnson's wooden record case in my bedroom was not loose in early November 2005. Whoever damaged that piece of furniture did it after I left the Avery property on November 5. The back of that piece of furniture was held on by nails and was very sturdy.
8. I noticed my toothbrush was missing in photographs taken by investigators (Trial exhibit 206). My toothbrush must have been taken from my bathroom after law enforcement began their occupation of the Avery property on November 5, 2005.

**Events of October 31, 2005**

9. When I called AutoTrader on October 31, 2005, at 8:12 a.m., I told the receptionist that the appointment was for Barbara Janda. I told her my sister's full name, not her first initial, because Barb owned the minivan to be listed in AutoTrader. I told the AutoTrader employee that the appointment was at 12932 Avery Road.
10. I called Auto Trader at 11:04 a.m. on October 31, 2005, to find out if the appointment was that day. I again told the AutoTrader employee my sister Barb's full name because Barb owned the vehicle to be listed in AutoTrader. I did the same when I listed a vehicle owned by Thomas Janda in AutoTrader. The AutoTrader employee told me that the photographer was coming to the property around 2:00 p.m. I told the AutoTrader employee that the photographer should come to 12932 Avery Road.
11. Sometimes, I used the \*67 features when I made calls from my cell phone. When I called Ms. Halbach at 2:24 p.m. before she arrived and 2:35 p.m. on October 31, 2005, after she left, I dialed \*67 so that if Ms. Halbach did not answer, she would not see my number and feel like she had to return my call. I called at 2:24 p.m. to see when she would get there, but she didn't answer the call.
12. Ms. Halbach got to our property around 2:31 p.m. When I looked out of the window of my trailer, I saw her taking a picture of my sister's van. I put on my shoes to go outside and pay her. I saw her start to walk toward my trailer when I was going outside, but when she saw me she waved and turned around and walked to her car. I went over to her car and I remember she was sitting in the driver's seat with door open and the engine was running. I went over and handed her $40.00 in cash for the ad. She gave me an *AutoTrader* magazine and drove away. I remember she turned left on Highway 147 from Avery Road.
13. I noticed that the exterior of her car was very clean. There were no visible dirt or mud stains and it looked clean. Her driver's side parking light was not broken. Ms. Halbach got to our property within a few minutes after I called her at 2:24 p.m.
14. I looked at the AutoTrader magazine that Ms. Halbach gave me and saw that they had front loaders for sale. I called at 2:35 p.m. to see if she could come back to take a picture of a front loader I wanted to sell in AutoTrader magazine. I hung up before Ms. Halbach picked up the phone.
15. When I called Teresa Halbach at 4:35 p.m. on October 31, 2005, I got an automatic message that said that her voice mailbox was full. I told Jodi this information in one of our phone calls that evening. l called at 4:35 p.m. to set up an appointment for the front loader.
16. I had a bonfire on October 31, 2005. The fire started around 7:00 p.m. The fire burned for about two or two and a half hours. I invited my nephew, Brendan, to come over. Brendan went home before Jodi called at 8:57 p.m. The fire burned quickly because we were burning brush. I used gas to start the fire. By the time Jodi Stachowski called at 8:57 p.m., the fire was almost over.
17. I would burn trash from my kitchen, like plastic milk jugs and boxes, in the burn barrel north of my trailer every two weeks. I did not use gas or any other fuel to start the fire. I used a lighter and some brush to start the fire. I did not burn garbage in my burn barrel on the evening of October 31, 2005. I had burned garbage a week before Halloween and did not have enough trash on Halloween to warrant burning garbage. When I burned garbage a week before Halloween, Robert Fabian, my brother Earl's brother-in -law, had come over to shoot rabbits with Earl. They drove up to my trailer in my mother's golf cart and we made small talk. I know that Robert Fabian testified that this event took place on Halloween, but I know that it took place a week before because I did not burn any garbage in the burn barrel north of my house on Halloween.

**Events of November 3, 2005**

18. On the evening of November 3, 2005, Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Colborn visited the Avery property to ask if I knew anything about the disappearance of Teresa Halbach.
19. After that conversation, I drove my Pontiac Grand Am from my parents' residence to its usual parking spot outside of my garage. I got out of my car and walked to my sister's trailer, which was right next to mine. There, I broke open a cut on the outside of the middle finger of my right hand as I was attempting to unhitch my sister Barb's trailer. Before going to my trailer to put masking tape on my finger, I went into my Pontiac to grab my phone charger. I dripped blood in my Pontiac on the gearshift and other places. Anyone who looked through the windows of my Pontiac could have seen the blood on the gearshift, and known there was a cut on my hand. I left my Pontiac unlocked.
20. Then, I entered my trailer through the south door because it was closest to the bathroom. I did not lock the south door of my trailer after I entered through it. A large amount of blood dripped onto the rim and sink and the floor of the bathroom. I did not wash away or wipe up because my brother Chuckie was waiting for me to go to Menards in Manitowoc with him. I think I left somewhere between 7: 15 and 7:30 p.m. I quickly wrapped my finger in duct tape and left the trailer to meet Chuckie. I left through the front door of my trailer.
21. I tried to tell my trial defense attorneys about the blood in the sink. They did not listen to me and told the jury the blood came from a blood tube at the Courthouse.
22. While Chuckie and I were leaving Avery property, driving a flatbed to Menards in Manitowoc, I saw taillights in front of my trailer. The taillights were further apart and higher off the ground than sedan taillights. I told my brother, who was driving, about the taillights. We turned around and drove to my trailer, but the vehicle was gone.
23. I believe the vehicle was facing my trailer from the northwest . The vehicle would be facing this direction if it drove to my trailer from Kuss Road east across the field between Kuss Road and my trailer. The shape of the taillights was like a RAV-4, not a police squad car. They were wider apart and higher off the ground.
24. After leaving Menards, Chuckie and I stopped by the Manitowoc County Jail, where I left some money for Jodi. By the time we got home, sometime around I 0:00 or I 0:30 p.m., I was real tired. I went into my trailer through the front door and went straight to bed. did not go back into my bathroom on November 3.
25. I did not call the AutoTrader office on November 3, 2005. I did not tell anyone that Ms. Halbach missed our October 31 appointment. I told every person who asked whether Ms. Halbach made our October 31 appointment that she arrived between 2:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., completed the appointment, and left shortly after.

**Events of November 4, 2005**

26. On November 4, I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I saw that most of the blood on my sink, which l had not cleaned up the previous night, was gone. It seemed to me that the blood had been cleaned up. I did not clean the blood and none of my family members had been in my trailer.
27. Two police officers in an unmarked car were by my trailer when I went to my trailer on a golf cart on the morning of November 4. They asked me if they could search my trailer. I let them search my trailer. After they left, I locked my trailer and went back to work.
28. I smelled cigarette smoke in my trailer on November 4. This was very strange because I did not smoke and Jodi, who lived with me, did not smoke. I thought that because my trailer smelled like smoke, someone else had been in my trailer and I said that in one of my interviews.
29. My brother Chuck called me on the evening of November 2005 and told me that there were headlights down by his house. I checked my phone records and know that he called my at 7:20 p.m. I went down by his trailer but didn't see any headlights.

**Events of November 5, 2005**

30. Early in the morning on November 5, 2005, before I left for the family property in Crivitz, WI, I opened the south door of my trailer and observed pry marks near the door latch. I left for the family cabin in Crivitz shortly after that.

**Events of November 9, 2005**

31. During the physical examination of my body on November 9, 2005, the nurse took two swabs near my groin at the request of Calumet County Investigator Wiegert. I saw the nurse who took the groin swabs hand them to Investigator Wiegert. As I was being taken out of the exam room by Agent Fassbender and the nurse, I saw Investigator Wiegert pretend to put the swabs in the hospital-type waste basket but I did not actually see the swabs leave his hands and fall into the basket.

**Pro Se Post-Conviction Proceedings**

32. When I was preparing my *pro se* post-conviction motion, I did not have any way to contact labs because 1 could not get in contact with an attorney. I sent letters to labs whose addresses I could find. When labs did write back, they told me they could not help because I did not have an attorney. Many attorneys informed me that they would not represent me. Some law firms even returned my letters without opening and reading them. I sent letters to and called attorneys in Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, and Iowa. Some of the attorneys told me that my case was too hard for them to take. I had no money to get an attorney, investigator, or independent lab. I even wrote to Dean Strang's ex-wife for held because she was an investigator. She did not write back.
33. One of my attorneys, Steven Glynn, told me that being my lawyer would hurt his law firm.
34. I dropped out of high school after 11th grade to help out with the family business. I had always been in special education classes.
35. Prison law library only had Lexis Nexis. I had no other way to look at case law or get an investigator.

**Correspondance with Ken Kratz**

36. Ken Kratz, the prosecutor from my 2007 criminal trial, contacted me in 2013. He wanted to meet with me to talk about writing a book together. Copies of the letters Mr. Kratz wrote me and I wrote Mr. Kratz are attached as Exhibit A to this affidavit.​

**Current Post-Conviction Proceedings and Testing**

37. I really wanted every form of testing suggested by my current post-conviction counsel. For example, I did brainwave testing to see if I was lying. I would not do these tests if I were guilty. I have nothing to hide because I did not kill Ms. Halbach.
38. My current attorney, Kathleen Zellner, brought a Toyota key with her when visiting me. She told me to hold it in my hand for twelve minutes, which I did.

## Supplemental affidavit of 14 November 2017

   **Now comes your affiant, Steven A. Avery, Sr., and under oath hereby states as follows:**

1. I am the defendant in this case. I am of legal majority and can truthfully and competently testify to the matters contained herein based upon my personal knowledge. The factual statements herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information, and belief. I am of sound mind and I am not taking any medication nor have I ingested any alcohol that would impair my memory of the facts stated in this affidavit.
2. Bobby Dassey, in his November 5, 2005 police interview, lied when he denied having ever seen Teresa Halbach before October 31, 2005. (SAO 1295). I distinctly remember that every time Teresa Halbach came to our property to photograph vehicles, Bobby would always say, "I see that your girlfriend was over yesterday," the following day.
3. After I moved into my trailer, I never entered my sister Barb's residence at 1290 A Avery Road when no one else was home. The only occasions when I was in Barb's residence were when I had been admitted into the residence by Barb or one of my nephews. I did not have a key to Barb's residence, and the residence was locked when no one was home.
4. I was aware that my sister Barb had a computer in her trailer. I was present one time when Barb turned on the computer which was in Bobby's room. Another woman, whom I did not know, was present at the time.
5. I never turned on Barb's computer and used her computer in any way. I did not have the password for the computer. On one occasion, I observed Blaine on the computer communicating with his girlfriend.
6. I had my own computer with internet service. There would be no reason that I would need to be on Barb's computer.
7. My computer was never used to do Google searches. My girlfriend, Jodi, and my sister, Barb, did Yahoo searches. I was present with my sister, Barb, who did a search of dating sites for my brother, Chuck, and for property. The only other searches were done by my girlfriend, Jodi. At no time were searches ever done on my computer for images of Teresa Halbach or images of violent pornography.
8. The only adult films I have ever viewed were on DirecTV. On my computer, the only nude photographs I had were ones uploaded by my girlfriend of her and me.
9. After I was arrested, the authorities put an inmate in my cell who was trying to get me to make incriminating statements. I have reviewed the police report of Orville Jacob. The statements in that report are false. I never told Mr. Jacobs that my sister, Barb, had porn on her computer or that there would be trouble if the porn were found. I know that my attorneys told me they wanted to inspect the Dassey computer and immediately after that telephone conversation with them, the Dassey computer was seized by the authorities. (Attached and incorporated herein as Exhibit A is the 4/14/06 CCSD report, STATE5682-83).
10. My work schedule at the salvage yard was from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Several times when I was at work, I noticed Scott Tadych enter the property in his green truck and proceed to Barb's trailer, where Bobby was at home.
11. I am aware that Prosecutor Kratz has said that I was sweating a lot on October 31 2005, because I had raped and murdered Ms. Halbach in my bedroom. Mr. Kratz's story is completely and totally false. 1 never harmed Ms. Halbach in any way. There was no forensic evidence in my trailer that would have shown that a rape and murder occurred there, so Mr. Kratz had to drop the rape charge. Mr. Kratz changed the story to say that the murder of Teresa Halbach was in my garage. Mr. Kratz said I shot Ms. Halbach in the head after carrying her to the garage. After carrying her to the garage, Mr. Kratz said that I threw Teresa Halbach into the rear of her vehicle, then took her out of the vehicle, shot her in the head on my garage floor, put her on a creeper, and threw her body into my fire pit where I started a huge bonfire. Mr. Kratz's ridiculous story is totally false.
12. In order to support his false story, Mr. Kratz added the detail that I was sweating a lot on October 31, 2005, when I supposedly propped a car hood and put branches on Ms. Halbach's vehicle to conceal it. Mr. Kratz's claim about me concealing the vehicle is tota11y false, and his claim about me sweating a lot is totally false. I did not drink alcohol or take medication which may have caused me to sweat. I did not sweat when I did manual labor for up to eight hours a day at the salvage yard. On October 31, 2005, the outside temperature was about 48 to 50 degrees, so there was no heat which would cause me to sweat.
13. On October 31, 2005, I remember that I called Ms. Halbach once before she got to the Avery property. I called a second time at 2:35 p.m., but hung up immediately because I saw her at the van, photographing it. I have had an opportunity to review my phone records to refresh my memory. Based upon my recent review of my phone records, I know that Ms. Halbach began photographing Barb's van at 2:35 p.m.
14. It did not take Ms. Halbach longer than a minute to complete the shooting of Barb's van. When I saw her drive up and park, I was looking out my front window. When I went outside to pay Ms. Halbach, I noticed that Bobby's Blazer was parked in a space between my sister's trailer and garage. By the time I got to my sister's van, Ms. Halbach bad already finished taking the picture of the van. I handed her $40 for the listing, and she walked to her vehicle and got in. She asked if I needed a receipt and I told her that I didn't. She handed me an Auto Trader magazine, and I thanked her.
15. I walked back to my trailer with the Auto Trader magazine. When I got inside my trailer, I set the magazine down on the computer stand and walked back outside to go and visit my nephew, Bobby.
16. I walked to the middle of my driveway and saw Ms. Halbach's vehicle turning left on Highway 147, headed west. I looked to my right and noticed that Bobby's Blazer was gone.
17. Bobby did not leave before Ms. Halbach because I observed his Blazer parked by Barb's residence when I was outside with Ms. Halbach. If Bobby left a few seconds behind Ms. Halbach, I would have seen his Blazer when I saw Ms. Halbach's vehicle leaving the property.
18. I believe that Bobby left about thirty seconds after Ms. Halbach because I could not see his vehicle. If he left thirty seconds after Ms. Halbach, he would have been near the intersection of the gravel drive - which leads to my and Barb's trailers - and Avery Road. It was not possible to see Bobby's Blazer at that location because there was a dip and a bend in the gravel drive as it approached Avery Road, and there were buildings that blocked my view. If Bobby had left thirty seconds after Ms. Halbach, his Blazer would have been in a position where I would not have been able to see it.

## Second supplemental affidavit of 29 June 2018

**Now comes your affiant, Steven A. Avery, Sr., and under oath hereby states as follows:**

1. I am of legal majority and can truthfully and competently testify to the matters contained herein based upon my personal knowledge. The factual statements herein are true and correct to the best of my knowledge, information and belief. I am of sound mind and I am not taking any medication, nor have I ingested any alcohol that would impair my memory of the facts stated in this affidavit.
2. I have reviewed my Affidavit from November 23, 2016 (R. 604:22-30) and my Supplemental Affidavit from November 14, 2017 (R. 636:89-96), and I hereby incorporate them into this affidavit. (Attached and incorporated as **Exhibit C** are my previous affidavits).
3. I was aware that my sister Barb had a computer in her trailer. I was present one time when Barb turned on the computer which was in Bobby's room. Another woman, whom I did not know, was present at the time. At no time did I observe the computer to be located in the living room.
4. During the week, Bobby was the only person home at the Dassey residence between 6 a.m. and 3:45 p.m.
5. I never turned on Barb's computer and used her computer in any way. I did not have the password for the computer. On one occasion, I observed Blaine on the computer communicating with his girlfriend.
6. I had my own computer with internet service. There would be no reason that I would need to be on Barb's computer.
7. My computer was never used to do Google searches. My girlfriend, Jodi, and my sister, Barb, did Yahoo searches. I was present with my sister Barb, who did a search of dating sites for my brother, Chuck, and for property. The only other searches were done by my girlfriend, Jodi. At no time were searches ever done on my computer for images of Teresa Halbach or images of violent pornography.
8. The only adult films I have ever viewed were on DirecTV. On my computer, the only nude photographs I had were ones uploaded by my girlfriend of her and me.
9. I believe that my nephew, Bobby Dassey ("Bobby") and Scott Tadych ("Tadych"), my sister's third husband, are involved in the murder of Teresa Halbach ("Ms. Halbach") for the following reasons:
a. On the evening of November 3, 2005, after I left my mother's place, I stopped at my sister, Barb Dassey-Janda's ("Barb"), property and broke open a cut on the outside of the middle finger of my right hand as I was attempting to unhitch her trailer for her.
b. I went into my Pontiac, parked on my driveway, to grab my phone charger. I dripped blood in my Pontiac on the gearshift and other places. Anyone who looked through the windows of my Pontiac could have seen the blood on the gearshift, and known there was a cut on my hand. I left my Pontiac unlocked.
c. After reviewing police reports and thinking about the fact that Blaine Dassey ("Blaine") went with Chuck Avery ("Chuck") and me to Menards, I remembered that I went to Barb's door to see if any of her sons wanted to go with me to Menards.
d. Bobby and Blaine were home. I asked Bobby and Blaine if they wanted to go with me and my brother, Chuck, to Menards. I told both of them that a law enforcement officer had just left the property after asking me questions about Ms. Halbach's visit to photograph Barb's van on October 31, 2005. I noticed that Bobby was immediately nervous after I mentioned the visit by the officer. He said that he could not go with me to Menards and that he had "things to do." There is no doubt in my mind that Bobby saw that my finger was bleeding. My memory is that Blaine said that he wanted to go to Menards and he went with Chuck and me.
e. Prior to leaving for Menards, I returned to my trailer to put tape on my bleeding finger. I entered my trailer through the south door because it was closest to the bathroom. I did not lock the south door of my trailer after I entered through it. A large amount of blood dripped onto the rim and sink and the floor of the bathroom. I did not wash away or wipe up because Chuck was waiting for me to go to Menards in Manitowoc with him. I think I left somewhere between 7:15 and 7:30 p.m. I quickly wrapped my finger in duct tape and left the trailer to meet Chuck. I left through the front door of my trailer.
f. While we were leaving Avery property, driving a flatbed to Menards in Manitowoc, I saw taillights in front of my trailer. The taillights were further apart and higher off the ground than sedan taillights. I told mybrother, who was driving, about the taillights. We turned around and drove to my trailer, but the vehicle was gone.
g. On November 4, I woke up at 6:00 a.m. and went into the bathroom to take a shower. I saw that most of the blood on my sink, which I had not cleaned up the previous night, was gone. It seemed to me that the blood had been cleaned up. After reviewing more case documents and thinking about what happened on November 3, 2005, I do not believe that law enforcement broke into my trailer and took blood from my sink and planted it in Ms. Halbach's vehicle. I believe that Bobby removed the blood from my sink and planted it in the RAV-4. Law enforcement would not remove the blood from the sink because they would not know that the blood belonged to me and would believe that it belonged to Ms. Halbach. Only the killer would know that the blood did not belong to Ms. Halbach and only someone who saw my finger bleeding would know that the blood was mine, so, I think that the only person who was there and knew my finger was bleeding and could have gotten into my trailer was Bobby. He would have taken the blood to frame me and save himself. Bobby drove his Blazer to the front of my trailer and it was his Blazer taillights that I observed as Chuck turned on STH 147. I do not believe that the vehicle could have come from any other location than the Dassey-Janda place because the vehicle was gone in the two minutes it took Chuck, Blaine, and I to return to my trailer. The vehicle had to already be on the property when we left, and Bobby's vehicle was the only vehicle that was present at the time we left. I believe that my trailer door was unlocked, but, even if it were locked, the Dasseys had a key to my trailer at their place.
h. In my prior Supplemental Affidavit, at paragraphs 14-17, I stated that Bobby lied about leaving the Avery Salvage Yard ("ASY") prior to Ms. Halbach. As I have stated in my Supplemental Affidavit, Bobby left the ASY property immediately **after** Ms. Halbach in his black Blazer. (See R. 636:92, at ¶ ¶ 14-17). Bobby lied at trial when he testified for the State that he left the property before Ms. Halbach.
i. I reviewed Bobby's November 17, 2017 interview with Special Investigator John Dedering ("Inv. Dedering") of the Calumet County Sheriffs Department. In the November 17, 2017 report, Bobby misrepresented the location of Ms. Halbach's vehicle when she was photographing Barb's van. Bobby misrepresented in his map that Ms. Halbach's car was parked east of Barb's van. In fact, Ms. Halbach's car was parked in such a position that Barb's van would have obstructed Bobby's view of at least part of Ms. Halbach's activities at the van and her walking towards my trailer. (Attached and incorporated as **Exhibit A** is a copy of my correction of the location of Ms. Halbach's vehicle in relation to Barb's van).
j. As I have stated in my Supplemental Affidavit, Bobby commented to me every time Ms. Halbach visited the property, with words to the effect of "I see that your girlfriend was over yesterday." (See R. 636:89, at ¶ 2).
k. Bobby misrepresented that he did not know Ms. Halbach was coming to take photographs on October 31, 2005. Current post-conviction counsel provided me with a copy of my cell phone records. Reviewing those records refreshed my recollection about the fact that I spoke to Bobby around 8:39 a.m. and told him to get the battery in the van charged because the photographer was coming to take pictures of the van. Current post-conviction counsel provided me with a transcript of my November 6, 2005 interview with Marinette County Sheriff's Department. After reading the transcript, my recollection was refreshed that I stopped by Barb's residence and talked to Bobby around 11 a.m. I specifically recall talking to Bobby about charging the van, and I believe that we actually tried to charge the van.
l. In one of his first police interviews, Bobby said he had seen me, and not Ms. Halbach, walking back to my trailer which is true. I came out the door and walking to Ms. Halbach's vehicle to pay her on October 31, 2005. (See **Exhibit 3** attached and incorporated in the Motion to Supplement Previously Filed Motion for Post-Conviction Relief).
m. While reviewing Bobby's report, it refreshed my recollection that I hadseen Scott Tadych's vehicle at the Dassey residence prior to phone calls I made on behalf of my girlfriend Jodi Stachowski ("Jodi") to Madison, WI to inquire about the state of her appeal from a drunk driving charge. My current post-conviction attorneys provided me with my phone records, which document that I made five phone calls between 12:09 p.m. and 12:16 p.m. Three of the calls were to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services. Two of the calls were to the Wisconsin State Public Defender Appellate Office. Immediately prior to making the phone call at 12:09 p.m. on October 31, 2005, I went to my vehicle to retrieve paperwork about Jodi's case. When I got to my driveway, I looked up and I saw Mr. Tadych's vehicle parked directly behind Bobby's Blazer. (Attached and incorporated herein as **Exhibit B** is a copy of my cell phone records from October 30, 2005-October 31, 2005).
n. I remember thinking it was strange that Mr. Tadych was at the Dassey residence when Barb was not home. I watched to see when he left, and to my best recollection, it was after about 15 minutes. Mr. Tadych lied at trial when he testified that he was visiting his mother the morning of October 31, 2005, at the Aurora Medical Center in Green Bay.
o. Bobby misrepresented the comments that were made in a conversation between him, me, and Michael Osmunson ("Mike"). The conversation did not occur in the Dassey garage. The conversation was initiated by Bobby who asked me if I had Ms. Halbach's hidden somewhere. I thought he was joking, and stated "under my bed." I did not start this conversation. When I reviewed Bobby's recent interview, I thought it was suspicious that he was referring to Ms. Halbach as deceased since, at that point on November 4, 2005, everyone thought that she was missing and I did not know she had been murdered.11. The fact that Bobby and Mr. Tadych lied so many times about the most important details of the case to the police and in their trial testimonies is the reason that I believe that both of them are involved in the murder of Ms. Halbach.
