She said she'll finish the series but didn't have an opinion on whether the men are innocent or not. 79 of his book Ferak says, "PETERSEN and BUSHMAN would both ascend into top level leadership positions - tokens of gratitude for their unwavering loyalty and ability to follow orders from Sheriff Kocourek.". One of the biggest liars even got promoted to (lieutenant)? It's a grossly obstructive act that SCREAMS BAD FAITH. Manitowoc County (Jost) poorly manufactured the re-discovery of what he says were obviously human bones in Steven's burn pit. (The commenters) only connection to knowing anything about Manitowoc is Netflix and then going on social media. Not to mention, Hermann's decidedly unique access to nearly unlimited car parts from his family's Auto Salvage Yard fits in with such theories (again, I want to note such conspiracies originated in the community long ago, not on reddit after MAM). The boys in the club had once more saved themselves from facing civil liability, just like they did with Gina Hxxxxx (from Part One) and Ricky Hotchstetler (from above).

"The Wrecking Crew" takes a deeper look into Kathleen Zellner's legal process. In Part One I reviewed serious squad car accidents of officers Petersen and Bushman that were both covered up or ignored by MCSD. WOW! In a notice of promotion (to Lieutenant) Kocourek said of Bushman (Pg. Like Bushman, Petersen was quickly hired despite his total lack of experience in LE. "John Ferak is an investigative journalist who is trying to figure out who committed the murder. Bushman (a college drop out turned bus driver) applied to the Manitowoc County Sheriffs Department in the 1970's even though he had no law enforcement experience. A crucial part of this theory involves the swapping of vehicle parts. Ferak argues Petersen may have caused the death of a young woman, citizen Gina Hxxxxx. Since it was released, the sheriff's department has gotten between 250 and 300 phone calls and hundreds of emails some positive, but many more negative about its role in the Avery case, Hermann said. If skeptics of Avery's alleged innocence reads The Wrecking Crew, what do you hope they take away from it? Two years after Ricky's death (2001) Kocourek would retire and become an executive of the local Big Brothers and Big Sisters Program (where he would work alongside the wife of Calumet Investigator Mark Wiegert). Bushman proved to his law enforcement buds he was a good man to have around in a sticky situation, and was adept at making incriminating evidence vanish into thin air (a skill he would put to good use once more years later). I'll finish by reviewing how critical the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Department was during the discovery, planting, re-discovery and recovery of the bones, and why it's reasonable to believe both the MCSD and Wisconsin DOJ were working together to cover up the truth of Teresa's death via obstruction of justice and the destruction of a crime scene. "Saw your show on Netflix! Her DNA was found on a bullet from Avery's gun. If true, the theory would highlight an alleged historical culture of corruption in Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office, a disturbing claim which has been underlined by the two Making a Murderer series aired on Netflix to global acclaim.

I used to think of cranes when I heard the name Manitowoc, not anymore. The docu-series, released Dec. 18, dissects the homicide cases against Steven Avery and his nephew, Brendan Dassey. The latest involved a bomb threat to the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office on February 3rd. All of this created a BROKEN CHAIN OF CUSTODY. Although a coroner determined Gina Hxxxxx died before being run over by Petersens squad car, such an opinion would ideally be backed up by a thorough investigation. While Manitowoc County was supposed to have minimal involvement in the case, several deputies, including Andrew Colborn and James Lenk, helped find crucial evidence. If Kakatsch made it through their corrupt defense and forensically examined the burn pit all hell might break loose. Its county seat is Manitowoc. "Some of the emails, in my opinion, have been borderline threatening. Amazing! The report in which the AG cleared MCSD of any wrongdoing or ethical violations (even though there was evidence the department knew Steven was innocent and Gregory Allen was guilty). Jost, along with agents from the DOJ, ensured the bones were quickly collected using shovels, boxes and garbage bags, all without any photos or measurements being taken or experts being called to forensically examine the scene. 149). But we are dealing with the state of Wisconsin, a place I lived and worked at two different times in my life, and for that reason, I would say it's 50-50. Four critical aspects of this corruption are: Fraudulent prosecutions (utilizing criminal conduct) that appear to be done as favors so that well-connected insiders can profit in the civil realm from the fraudulent criminal convictions. Ferak's Kuss road theory matches up with what we on TTM have been saying for years - Manitowoc County found the remains at the burial site, planted the bones in Steven's burn pit, manufactured their re-discovery a day later (and ensured a quick but unprofessional recovery of the evidence) and a day after that they began obstructing the investigation into the scene of their planting, desperate to keep the coroner away from the scene. Unfortunately, I think the film has done a lot of damage and is definitely not the way Manitowoc County would like to be put on the map.. Although he is not a very widely discussed figure, the Hermann father certainly left his mark on the department, and was directly responsible for creating the holy trinity of corruption, made up of Kocourek, Petersen and Bushman, very prominent figures in the Penny B, Ricky H and Teresa H cases, and extremely consequential figures to Steven Avery. While watching this vehicle in his rear view mirror, Bushman lost his bearing in relation to the intersection. The County Steven was suing? Notably, both cadaver dogs and bloodhounds independently made their way to the scene, which meant the burial site was emanating the scent of decomposition as well as Teresa's scent, likely because her decomposing remains were present at the burial site. 57m As Steven starts creating a new life for himself, he pursues a lawsuit against Manitowoc County law enforcement officials for corruption in his case. But Manitowoc residents say, not so fast. "Never have I heard of such corruption at the hands of law enforcement as in the case of Steven Avery.

You are responsible for the distrust and hatred for law enforcement that is ever-prevalent in our society and these sentiments are DESERVED. ", Vandedrinckfirst learned about the trials when he started the series. Examining the Hotchstetler case is important to understanding Ferak's theory about Bushman's conduct during the 2005 investigation into Teresa's disappearance, specifically regarding his time at the Kuss road cul-de-sac where a suspected burial site was discovered by Bushman's search team. IMO such an act cannot be explained away innocently. "Your entire sheriff dept are the ones who should be tossed in jail It makes me ashamed to be from Wisconsin and you can bet I wont be in a hurry to ever drive past your cesspool of evil. Just to set the stage a bit - The Kuss road incident has long been a famous unresolved mystery of this case, and for good reason.

The state's role in a criminal investigation is to collect all available evidence strictly according to established protocols and procedures, so that as few questions as possible could be raised about the integrity of the case.
