Based on your experience, would you say a guilty Steven Avery was quite competent in removing evidence of his crime or quite sloppy in leaving the evidence he did? Would it have been plausible for a person who was close to him to have planted the evidence that was found, such as the bullet, the key, and his blood?

As a follow up, would you generally agree with the prosecution narrative of how Teresa Halbach was kidnapped, tortured, and killed, based on the evidence, or would you see as something different, say as an unintended moment of rage?

Let me say, you guys are doing the lord's work. :-)

I really appreciate you guys doing this. I'd love to do this again in the future. I hope you guys keep doing what you're doing. Making science accessible to the layperson is something for which I have such great admiration.

The mtDNA results showed that the bones belonged to a direct descendant of Karen Halbach, not specifically Teresa. If I recall correctly, there was only one anomaly, either environmental or a genetic mutation. That's why the report said she could not be excluded, but didn't confirm it was her.

Combined with the DNA test conducted by Sherry Culhane, the odds are astronomical that it couldn't be Teresa.

The mtDNA and the DNA together confirmed the bones belonged to Teresa. There is absolutely no way to argue the opposite. :-)

And yet someone is on MaM right now claiming the bones are Carmen Boutwell's. SIGH.
