The history between Avery and Halbach. He specifically requested her. His *67 calls to her phone.
The RAV4 on the property. His DNA under the hood.
Her bones in his fire pit........Her purse, camera, and cell in his burn barrel.
I don't think it happened in any way like the prosecutor and police laid it out but it certainly appears her life ended on his property.
Again, plenty of reasonable doubt and therefore should have been acquitted.
just a few points. he didn't specifically request her, he called autotrader, said he had another vehicle he wanted to advertise and asked to send that girl down again to take more photos. she had been to the avery property 15-20 times to photograph vehicles because that was her territory in the state for autotrader.
the *67 calls were placed because she had told him she'd be at the property to photograph the vehicle around 2pm, it was well after 2pm, he was trying to figure out where she was, when she's coming. his lawyer says that given his history, he really didn't trust people and was protective of personal information like his cell number, so he used *67 often. the call, without 4:35pm without *67 is weird, i'll give you that, but far from incriminating.
his dna wasn't under the hood, there was a bit of his dna on the hood latch, but absolutely none of his blood or dna under the hood. also, the dna on the hood latch wasn't found until march (i believe), which was obviously several months after the vehicle had been in police custody.
the burn pit likely wasn't the burn location considering the condition of the bones and the fact that such a large, open pit wouldn't likely get hot enough to to complete disintegrated the majority of bones. also, a smaller amount of bones were found at the quarry and in the burn barrel. experts testified that the location with the largest amount of bones is in almost all cases not the burn location, i.e. they were moved there to his burn pit in the back yard.
again, as i said before i don't know whether he actually did it or not, my guy says "yeah, he did," but that's based on just a gut feel. there's really very, very little physical evidence that he was the killer. the whole third party protection in the trial really hurt his case, there were others with the same access to the avery property that were just as sketchy, but the defense couldn't even go there largely because the piss-poor job law enforcement did with the initial investigation.
