This is not necessarily what I believe happened, but here's a conspiracy theory for ya:

Teresa's ex-boyfriend is jealous of Teresa's roommate. Knows about the Avery issues/lawsuit, and that Teresa makes somewhat regular trips out there for Autotrader. Maybe brings Teresa's brother into the fold for insurance? (Did Teresa have a life insurance policy, and was the brother a beneficiary?) Can also get money from Colburn & Lenk which could be another motive. The ex-bf knows Colburn or someone in the sherrif's dept. The next time Teresa goes out to the Avery's, the ex-bf intercepts her upon leaving, kills her, leaves her hidden somewhere, and notifies Colburn / Lenk. Over the next couple of days, the body is burned and the car is transported to the Avery property with some planted blood. Also, voicemails to Teresa from the ex are deleted. These are repeated calls to get Teresa's location, etc. Could have also been the ex that kept calling Teresa per her co-worker's testimony, constantly checking on her schedule and whereabouts...would have definitely been annoying to Teresa. Teresa is then reported missing, and the search centers around the Avery compound. The ex's relationship with the sherrif's dept would explain why he is so quickly put in charge of the amateur search committee. During the first day or two of the 8 day Avery compound search, the bones are dumped on the property under the darkness of night. There are too many bones, and they don't wanna make it too obvious (why would have not been seen during the first day of searching, right!) so some bones are dumped in the quarry a few miles away. The investigation continues, and Colburn & Lenk panic a little, thinking they need to add some more evidence, hence the key with only Steve's DNA, and the bullet with Teresa's DNA.

A little crazy, but not completely far fetched. Especially in this story, which already has a lot of seemingly unbelievable happenings.

Just saw the post on the previous page from the ex-borfriend's co-worker. Adds a little fuel to my conspiracy theory fire.

If I had to guess, I'd say the ex bf is the murderer. The scratches on his hand, guessing her password and having access to her phone records, his lack of credibility on the witness stand, his co-worker testimony on the previous page, etc all point to him.

He was also never asked to provide an alibi and he was interviewed by police with the roommate, not in separate rooms individually.

Re: above post, Teresa's 2nd stop that day was Schmitz Amusement...which just so happens to be Lt. Lenks home address! Steve Avery was Teresa's 3rd stop that day. Teresa's phone records show a brief phone call that afternoon that pinged a cell tower near Lenk's home. Conversation along the lines of, "Swing back by here, you forgot something." ??

If true, wow

A good article on some alternate theories:

A better written, more believable ex-bf / brother theory than mine from a few posts above:

Looks like the Lt. Lenk address stuff is false. The guy that tweeted that out was basing on incorrect info from Facebook.

The notion that Avery would drag the car to his own lot and half ass cover it rather than crush the damn thing is beyond reason.

The key magically appearing during the 8th search when Manitowoc County officials were present, despite the fact they weren't supposed to be involved, despite that exact spot bring previously searched, is damning evidence of a plant.

Pulling the kid out of school and coercing him into a confession was sickening. Beyond shameful. You'd think his story would have been vacated when no blood could be found to corroborate the throat slashing and bound rape. He has the intelligence of a 5 year old...can't get over this part.

The parade of "press conferences" where the DA has a **** eating grin on his face, reading evidence to the crowd as if it's a Shakespearean play...WTF! He truly seems to relish it. So inappropriate.

I'm only 10 minutes into episode 4 FYI. This is $%&+ed up.

well, organized list. Thanks for posting. I've read all of that in different areas on different sites, but nice to see it all together.

Some of it I don't give 2 ****s about, other stuff is obviously interesting.

"He had pornography" is one of them. What the hell does that matter?

A buddy just sent me the full transcripts of Brendans phone conversations with his mom. In one of them he talks about Steven molesting him. Here is the Reddit thread that covers it.

Someone mentioned earlier that if this was a movie people would say its too far fetched. Crazy stuff.

Great post. I knew those barb/brendan phone convos were highly edited for the doc.

Also, that Alveolar posting all over that thread is doing a great job at pretending to sound intelligent and professional, but you can clearly see they have their mind made up about what happened and nothing left out of the doc will change that.

So a couple of thoughts:

The DA/sheriff's office had something on the first appointed lawyer. He was not just a bad attorney but actually working for the DA. Bad enough that he should likely be at the least sanctioned. And he looks like he is into kiddy porn but I guess we should not jump to conclusions. He does remind me of Lester from Fargo Season 2.

It is crazy that they didn't look into her family and ex-boyfriend. They were both shady and didn't seem interested in getting to the truth.

Also would like to have known who else lives on the property. His family is a bit shady and it seemed like there were several who lived on the property. They could easily have done it and set him up.

Another theory I thought of is that Steve did do it. But loved the attention and fame he got from the first case. So instead of hiding the killing he "set himself up". Thinking that he would fake a frame-up and then not only get away with it but also get paid again. Maybe he does not have the mental capacity to do that or maybe just not enough to do it right.

But the fact that either was convicted is amazing. But even more amazing is that not one appeals court found any reason to overturn either case. That is hard for me to understand. There were multiple very strong appeals to be made.

Interesting theory on "setting himself up". As crazy as this case is, anything is possible.

After a week to ponder the 10 episodes, and the ancillary things I've read since, I'm at this personal conclusion:

SA did it. BD might know some things / might have seen things, but had no hand in the actual killing.

County Sheriffs saw their chance to make sure SA was found guilty and helped the case way along to their advantage.

SA is then sitting there knowing he did it, but also knowing that the Sheriff's office is crooked as well. That's a crazy position to be in.

I just still can't get over the dude crying on cue at the sight of the ribbon tied on the tree, years after the murder. So, so, weird.

On ep 4 - Why the **** is Brendan's own attorney's investigator pushing him to write a statement about Teresa when it's clear he wasn't there? Is Len working with the DA?

Just watching him pressuring him into writing what he wants to hear is making my blood boil. How can the judge possibly think he did it watching these tapes?

Ugh. Now Brendan tells his mom he did do it.

Three eps to go.

I don't understand how anyone on the jury can possibly think the key wasn't planted. Zero trace of the owner's DNA, and only Avery's?

No blood anywhere in the trailer or garage?

There's literally zero evidence except the blood in the car and the bones, which are both easily planted.

Althought I guess one thing that's weird is, why haven't we been presented with a concrete timeline of what exactly Avery was doing that day? You'd figure the people making this documentary would've made that clear by now.

We're on episode 6 and hooked. I feel like I did at the end of serial S1- this guy might have done it but it sure as hell didn't happen the way the cops said it did.

The poster who stated you better not be poor AND dumb in this country was dead on. Brendan was effed with his PD.

I love watching the defense attorneys. They are just nails at their job.
