Steven Avery’s Attorney Announces Reward For “Real Killer”

A $100 thousand reward has been offered for the arrest and conviction of the “real killer” of Theresa Halbach. Defense Attorney Kathleen Zellner posted the news on Twitter this morning after teasing about a “big announcement” a few days prior. Zellner represents Steven Avery who along with his nephew Brendan Dassey were convicted in 2007 for the 2005 murder of freelance photographer Theresa Halbach at the Avery Family Auto Salvage Yard near Mishicot. The tweet states that the reward is being offered by a “concerned citizen” and that all tips should be called in to (630)847-3733. The 630 area code covers portions of Chicago’s western suburbs including the majority of DuPage County Illinois. Last month a judge denied Avery’s request for a new trial. He’s serving a life sentence with no chance for parole.
