Originally aired on the Beach House 34 True Crime & Paranormal Podcast

In Episode 29 of The Avery Trial, we hear more from Sergeant Colborn and find out how the key to Teresa Halbach's vehicle was discovered - and the timeline that seems a bit fishy.

Colborn claims he was shoving a bookcase back in place in Steve Avery's tiny bedroom when all of a sudden, Lieutenant Lenk pointed out the key. But with Calumet Deputy Kucharski nearby, distracted and writing a report, was anyone actually watching Lenk? And if Colborn didn’t see the key fall, how did it suddenly appear—days into the investigation?

We also get a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes power dynamics: how closely Lenk and Colborn worked, their ties to the Avery lawsuit, and even Colborn’s concern about being named a defendant in Steven Avery's civil lawsuit against Manitowoc County.

It can't help much either with honest testimony while Investigator Wiegert is present in the courtroom every day. We can’t help but ask—how much pressure were these officers under, and how much could they really say?
