Autotrader Issue 37 Was Planted on Avery's Desk as "Proof" Teresa Halbach Went Inside His Trailer on October 31st (Teresa Was Never Inside Avery's Trailer or Garage)

Issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine (September 15-21, 2005) in the bottom left of the image above was not on Avery's desktop when his desk originally was photographed on November 5th.

Additionally, the Zander Road for sale sign in the top right of the image above was not on the shelf above the printer when Avery's desk originally was photographed on November 5th.

Issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine was not on Avery's desk and probably was not in his trailer at all. The only Auto Trader magazine on Avery's desk was issue 40, which was on a shelf to the left of his desk (close up of issue in bottom right of the image above).

Issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine and the Zander Road for sale sign were planted after Avery's desk was originally photographed on November 5th (photo below).

Avery's desk before issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine and the Zander Road for sale sign were planted

When issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine and the Zander Road for sale sign were planted, the planter(s) moved items around on Avery's desk. A Boat & Bike Trader magazine originally was on the desktop, in front of Avery's computer screen, but was moved in front of his printer.

Avery had a notepad in which he had written phone numbers plus a note, "back to patio door." The planter(s) used Avery's notepad to copy his handwriting. The planter(s) wrote Teresa's phone number above "back to patio door" (notice in the image below that the ink doesn't match).

The black marker that was on top of the Boat & Bike Trader magazine most likely was used to write Teresa's phone number on the back of the Zander Road for sale sign.



On November 5th, Avery's trailer was searched from 7:30 to 10:00 p.m. by Manitowoc County sheriff deputies Lenk, Colborn and Remiker and Calumet County sheriff deputy Tyson. Remiker wrote that at 21:48 hours he located "a for sale sign on the right side of the desk area, as well as an Auto Trader magazine on the desk area" (MTSO, page 10).

Issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine, which was planted on Avery's desktop, could have been the one that Teresa Halbach had given JoEllen Zipperer on October 31st. It had been collected into evidence when Dedering, Remiker and Colborn visited the Zipperer residence on Thursday, November 3rd (CASO, page 107).

Before the planter(s) staged items on Avery's desk, there were two issues of Boat & Bike Trader and one issue of Auto Trader, issue 40, on Avery's desk (image above).

Issue 37 of Auto Trader magazine, in the bottom left corner of the first image above and on the left side of the image below, was planted on Avery's desktop to "prove" that Teresa had given Avery the same issue of the magazine that she had been given JoEllen Zipperer on October 31st. Why? Because the State didn't have hair, DNA or blood evidence that "put Teresa in Avery's trailer," so Kratz had to rely on an Auto Trader magazine and an Auto Trader bill of sale to "prove" that Teresa had been inside Avery's trailer.



Ken Kratz at Avery's trial:

The Defense argued that there was no blood found in the trailer. Since Teresa wasn't killed in the trailer, there shouldn't be. But what was found in the trailer is extremely important. They found the very same Auto Trader magazine, the very same type of bill of sale that we put in this exhibit, that's from Mrs. Zipperer, the very same Auto Trader Magazine, very same bill of sale. Teresa was in that trailer. She was in the trailer, but she was not killed in that trailer.

She was killed in Steven Avery's garage. There's two things that are most reactive with luminol, one is human blood and the other is bleach. We have heard about just to the left and just to the back of this tractor a large area that lit up or glowed very brightly. Mr. Ertl testified about that, that the two things that light up, it wasn't blood, but it was, in fact, bleach.

Ken Kratz at Avery's trial:

Right after she is done with Mr. Schmitz, she goes to the Zipperer residence, sometime between 2:00 and 2:30. In fact, you will note from the calls and the testimony later from the cellphone people, that at 2:12 a call is made to the Zipperer residence.You heard some reference to that. 

It may have been lost in some of the other testimony, about Teresa being lost and on her way.  But Teresa finds her way there. And we know that about 2:15 or so, she does her photo shoot at the Zipperer's. We also -- excuse me -- We also know, just like the Schmitz photo shoot, just like every other photo shoot that you have heard testimony about, that it lasts 10 minutes.

She leaves an Auto Trader book. She leaves a receipt, which is actually called a bill of sale. These things are particularly important. [Kratz is lying, the receipt and bill of sale are two different things.]

You will see testimony later, or you will see exhibits later, that were seized from Mr. Avery on the 5th, that exactly the same Auto Trader magazine is found on his computer. Exactly the same kind of bill of sale is found. So the significance, or the habit, if you will, of these contacts, become critically important.

On the left, Auto Trader magazine, issue 37, September 15-21, 2005; on the right, exhibit 27, a packet of materials given to JoEllen Zipperer on October 31st and collected into evidence on November 3rd

The Zipperers were a cold call telemarketing lead. JoEllen Zipperer didn't pay for an advertisement at the time Teresa stopped to take the photo. Instead of giving her a receipt and current issue of Auto Trader magazine, Teresa gave her a packet containing an older issue of the magazine (September 15-21, 2005, issue 37), a bill of sale, and a for sale sign. She also told JoEllen that if they decided to place the ad in Auto Trader, she needed to call the office to authorize the ad and make payment.

Avery was a repeat customer (his last photo shoot was on October 10th) who paid Teresa $40 cash, up front, at the time of his photo shoot on October 31st. He was a repeat customer who paid up front, so he was a priority customer. Because Avery was a priority customer, he was given a current or more current issue of Auto Trader magazine. Because Zipperer was just a potential customer, who didn't pay when Teresa showed up to take the picture (she didn't authorize the ad or make payment), she was given a packet that contained an older issue.

Marinette County Detective Anthony O'Neill reported on his November 5, 2005 interview with Avery that "he told me that Teresa Halbach, as in the past, had given him a copy of the current Auto Trader magazine" (page 2). Avery also told O'Neill that after his business transaction with Teresa he went inside his trailer and dropped off the magazine. O'Neill wrote:

"As our conversation continued I asked Steven if he had ever been inside of Teresa’s vehicle at all and he told me “I might of touched the door”. When asked to explain he said “all different places depends how it is”. Steven went on to explain further in more detail, saying that when Teresa got inside the drivers side (seated in drivers seat) to get the Auto Trader magazine for him he had been holding onto the drivers side door (outside, top or side) up until she handed him the magazine and he had then left and returned back to his trailer home, dropping off the book, then going over to his sisters home to see if Bobby was home but finding that Bobby was already gone."

The above conversation with O'Neill starts at 30:03 in the video linked below:

[–]Needless Things

Kratz: There isn't a question about who is responsible for the death and the mutilation of Teresa Halbach.

As we know the charges of Kidnapping and First Degree Sexual Assault were dismissed before the trial even began, and the charge of False Imprisonment was dropped after Kratz called his last witness but before closing arguments.

The boys in the club were no doubt concerned come time for closing statements - almost every charge listed in the amended complaint had been inoculated.

Due to Strang and Buting discrediting the gory story Fassbender and Wiegert put forward, Kratz needed to change the theory of the crime for Avery's trial. Of course, this only slightly benefited Steven, and did not benefit Brendan at all. Recall Brendan was convicted for raping and killing her in the trailer while Steven was convicted for killing her in the garage.



[–]Whiznot

People almost universally view the way Avery was convicted as unjust. There is no argument there. The argument is over actual guilt or innocence.

I've slowly come around to thinking something was fishy about Avery's defense. In subtle ways, Strang and Buting meekly acquiesced in favor of injustice.

Real defense lawyers would never participate in a sham trial. Strang and Buting are not who they pretend to be but, man, they were great actors.

Consider the following. Strang and Buting had the information showing that Halbach's cell phone pinged a remote tower when she was supposedly being raped and murdered by Avery and Dassey. Why did Strang and Buting (and their only private investigator, former sheriff's lieutenant Pete Baetz) ignore the single most exculpatory fact?

Only LE think Avery got a fair trial given the fact that two of the jurors were intimately connected to Manitowoc County. One of those jurors was a part time MTSO deputy. The trial was a sham.

After the defense empaneled the two Manitowoc County employees on the jury, Strang and Buting were free to mimic a real defense with the certainty that there could not be an acquittal.

The trial was a sham from the beginning. I think Avery turned against Strang and Buting after Zellner explained how his trial was fixed.

   "I have never liked the mystery surrounding the gentleman's agreement. Anything the prosecution fought to keep the Jury from hearing was no doubt important to uncovering the truth."

I'm in 100% agreement. Consider, Ken Kratz was desperate to keep Brendan Dassey off the stand in Avery's sham trial. Dassey was Avery's alibi witness. The State's extreme and sadistic techniques used to transform Dassey from a witness to a murderer sickened MaM viewers. I cannot understand why Dassey wasn't called to the stand by the defense.

Strang and Buting acquiesced to Kratz's proposed "gentlemens' agreement."

Strang and Buting allowed two prosecution plants to be empaneled on the jury.

Strang and Buting acquiesced to Kratz's desire to keep the jury from hearing from Avery's alibi witness.

Strang and Buting failed to introduce the cell tower evidence that proves Teresa left ASY alive [and they failed to subpoena her original Cingular records, including text messages].

To quote Buting, "what is going on here?"

Dassey was Avery' alibi witness. Surely he could be called by the defense. Kratz was afraid to call Dassey to the stand. Strang and Buting shouldn't have let Kratz get his way. The Dassey "confession" as seen on tape was strong evidence for the defense.

Blaine Dassey Testified to the Opposite of What He Told Investigators on November 7th and 11th

Had Scott, Barb, Blaine and Bobby, pictured above as the guilty verdict was read at Brendan's trial, told the truth in their statements and testimonies (better yet, had they consulted an attorney and invoked their Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination), Brendan, and perhaps Steven, would not have gone to prison for crimes against Teresa Halbach.

"Mr. Kratz is well-aware that other individuals lied about their contacts with Ms. Halbach on 10/31". - Kathleen Zellner's statement to Dateline, February 2017

On November 5, 2005, when police took control of the Avery property, Blaine and Brendan Dassey's bus driver told police that at 3:40 p.m. on October 31st, when she dropped off the brothers, she saw a woman taking pictures of a van parked at the intersection of Avery Road and the shared driveway leading to the homes of Barb Janda and Steven Avery.

Also on November 5th, DCI agent Kim Skorlinski contacted Barb Janda, who agreed to bring Blaine to the Cedar Ridge Restaurant in Maribel so that they could "ask him a few questions that had to be clarified" (CASO page 282). At 5:00 p.m., CASO deputy Wendy Baldwin and DCI agent Skorlinski "made contact with Blaine." Skorlinski wrote a report on their contact with Blaine; however, this report was not entered into evidence at Avery's trial.

The following map of the property must have been drawn by Blaine during his interview on November 5th, although it was included in the DCI report of his second interview on November 7th, and the date of the map was changed.





During cross examination at Avery's trial, Strang asked Blaine about the interrogation at Cedar Ridge Restaurant (page 103), but Strang misrepresented this meeting as having taken place on November 15th:

Q.   The Cedar Ridge Restaurant?
A.   Yes. 
Q.   Over in Maribel, near you?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Okay.  Was your mom there for that?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Just you and your mom?
A.   Yup. 
Q.   And then a couple of officers or agents?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And did you guys sit across the table from the agents, in the restaurant?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Did there come a time in that discussion between you and your mom and the agents, when the agents sort of got in your face a little bit?
A.   Yes.
Q.   What were they doing to get in your face?
A.   They were arguing.
Q.   They were arguing?
A.   Yes.
Q.   They raised their voices?
A.   Yes. 
Q.   They got angry?
A.   Yes.
Q.   They accused you guys of not accepting that Steve was guilty, didn't they?
A.   Yes.
Q.   They accused you of embarrassing yourselves by believing in your uncle, didn't they?
A.   Yes.
Q.   They tried to convince you that Steven Avery was guilty, didn't they?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And they got loud about it, at the restaurant?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And then they stomped off and left you there, when you wouldn't turn on your uncle, didn't they?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And that was back in November 15 of 2005.
A.   Yes.

ATTORNEY STRANG: That's all I have.

Two days later, on November 7, 2005, at 10:11 a.m., Agents Debra Strauss and Lisa Wilson of Wisconsin DOJ, Division of Criminal Investigation, interviewed Blaine Dassey at the home of his boss, Michael Kornely, where he had been staying since November 4th (trial exhibit 355).

On November 7th, Blaine told the DCI agents Strauss and Wilson that he did not see anyone or any vehicle that did not normally belong in the driveway when he and Brendan got off the bus and together walked directly to their house on October 31st. He explained that a red and black Blazer and a Monte Carlo/Grand Prix were parked at the mailboxes, where the school bus driver picks them up and drops them off. He said he did not see Steven Avery when he got off the bus. He said that Bobby was sleeping in his bedroom when they got home, and that them coming home woke Bobby up.

Blaine said he listened to the message that Teresa Halbach left on their answering machine. He recalled her saying that she would be at their residence to take pictures between 1:00 and 2:00 p.m., and he recalled that she left a callback number to reschedule if necessary. Blaine said that Barb had placed ads in AutoTrader in the past, the most recent being for a black Lincoln.

Blaine said he was picked up by a friend's mother at 5:20 p.m. to go trick-or-treating and that he returned at approximately 9:30 p.m. He said when he got home, Barbara, Bobby and Brendan were inside and awake. He said he went to bed shortly after he got home, sometime between 9:30 and 10:00 p.m. He said he didn't recall anything unusual happening that evening after he went to bed.

Blaine said he didn't recall anyone using the burn barrels that day. He said that the last time he recalled anyone using the burn barrels was Thursday, November 3rd.

When asked if there were any bonfires the week of October 31st, Blaine said there weren't any.

The DCI agents asked Blaine "if he had seen any media coverage of the missing woman, including her name and picture of her vehicle." He said that he had "but these photos did not help Blaine recall having seen Halbach or her vehicle before."

Blaine was questioned about the Suzuki and snowmobile in the garage. He was asked to describe in detail the trailer that had been used to transport the Skidoo snowmobile from Crivitz to the Avery property.

Blaine was asked if he recalled Steven coming to the house and asking for assistance in moving a Suzuki or a snowmobile into the garage. Blaine said he did not. Blaine said if Steve would have made such a request, Blaine would have remembered

Blaine asked if he could describe where the gray Suzuki was normally kept. Blaine responded that for the last week or two, this Suzuki was parked on the side of Steve's garage closest to Blaine's house. Blaine said he thought Steve's plan was to fix the Suzuki so Blaine's grandpa, Allen Avery, could take it to the cabin in Crivitz. [This could be interpreted as the Susuki being parked on the east of the garage, inside or outside.]

Blaine was asked where the Suzuki currently was located. Blaine said he thought it was still parked next to Steve's garage. [This could be Fassbender twisting Blaine's words by using the word "next" when Blaine could have said it was still parked on the side of the garage closest to his house.]

Blaine was asked what he knew about Steve's snowmobile. Blaine responded Steve brought this snowmobile back from his grandpa's cabin about one week ago. Blaine was with Steve when Steve did this. According to Blaine, the snowmobile was put on a trailer and brought back home. Blaine did not help Steve unload this trailer because the snowmobile had been left on the trailer. As of the week of 10/31/2005, Blaine thought the snowmobile was still on the trailer. [Steve brought the Suzuki home on 10/30 from someone named Tim, and he also brought the snowmobile home from Crivitz on 10/30.]

Blaine was asked to describe the trailer. Blaine described this trailer as approximately 14' long, black metal with a drop ramp, and approximately 2' sides. Blaine said this trailer is capable of hauling two snowmobiles. This trailer is actually Barb's trailer and usually sits [sic] on the left side of Barb's garage.

The two DCI agents returned on November 11th to re-interview Blaine about any bonfires the week of October 31st. Blaine said he was "supposed to have a girl over to his house for a bonfire" but the "bonfire never took place" because the girl said "she did not want to come out for a bonfire." 








To summarize, Blaine was questioned on November 5th, 7th and 11th.

During cross examination of Blaine at Avery's trial, Strang was mistaken about an interview occurring on November 15th (page 83). There was an interview on November 5th at Cedar Ridge Restaurant (unless Baldwin misrepresented the date in her report on CASO page 282, and this interview actually occurred on November 15th and not November 5th).

Q.   Good morning.
A.   Good morning.
Q.   I'm going to call you Mr. Dassey, even though you-- I guess you are 18 now, you turned 18?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Since this is a little bit of a formal place; do you mind if I address you as Mr. Dassey?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Yes, you do mind?
A.   Or no.
Q.   All right. Mr. Dassey, you have been approached by the police a number of times, I think, since October 31, 2005, haven't you?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Started probably a week later, on November 7?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And on November 11?
A.   Yes.
Q.   November 15?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And times after that, right?
A.   Yes.
Q.   Right up through today, when you talked to Mr. Fassbender during the break?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And the police have asked you the same questions over, and over, and over, about October 31, haven't they?
A.   Yes.
Q.   You give them an answer?
A.   Yes.
Q.   And if they don't like the answer, they ask you again?
A.   Yes.

Other than the excerpts of testimony above, Blaine outright lied at Avery's trial (page 52). Blaine caved into pressure from Scott and Barb to change his original statements to match the State's narrative. Kratz wrote the script, which he rehearsed with Blaine prior to Avery's trial. Blaine followed Krtatz's script when he testified, but his performance wasn't flawless.

The following are Blaine's lies about October 31st during direct examination by Kratz.

1. The bus dropped him off at 3:40 (he originally said the bus drops him off between 3:30 and 4:00 p.m.).

2. He got home from trick-or-treating at 11 p.m. (he originally said he got home at 9:30 p.m.).

3. As he was walking from the bus stop to his home, at 3:46 or 3:47 p.m., he saw Steven bringing a plastic bag to his burning barrel (he originally said he didn't see Steven that day).

4. When Steven threw the plastic bag into barrel, there was smoke and flames coming out of the barrel (he originally said he didn't see Steven that day, he didn't see anyone using burn barrels that day, and burn barrels were used on November 3rd).

5. When he got home at 11 p.m. he saw one person, who he believed to be Steven, sitting and watching a bonfire with four to five foot flames behind his garage. (He orginally said that he got home at 9:30 p.m., and that when he got home he didn't see anyone outside; he also originally said he hadn't seen Steven that day and that there weren't any bonfires that day or that week.)

6. When he got home at 11 p.m. he went to bed in the bedroom he shared with Brendan, but Brendan wasn't in the bedroom (he originally said that when he got home at 9:30 p.m., Barb, Brendan and Bobby were inside, and then he went to bed by 10 p.m.).

7. At 3:45 p.m. he saw the Suzuki parked on the "right side, outside of the garage" (he originally said that for the last week or two, this Suzuki was parked on the side of Steven's garage closest to Blaine's house, meaning the inside of the garage).

8. Kratz, knowing that Blaine screwed up, used a diagram to have Blaine point out where the Suzuki was parked, and Kratz clarified for the jury that Blaine is "pointing to the outside of what would be Steven Avery's garage, just to the left side." (Fassbender twisted Blaine's words in his report of Strauss and Wilson's November 7th interview with Blaine, writing that "when asked where the Suzuki currently was located, Blaine said he thought it was still parked next to Steve's garage." However, Blaine hadn't said it was "parked next to Steve's garage;" he said it was "parked on the side of Steven's garage closest to Blaine's house.")

9. He also noticed a snowmobile outside, parked in "back of, behind the Suzuki." (He originally said Steven had towed the snowmobile from his grandpa's cabin about one week ago, on October 30th, and that the snowmobile had been left on the trailer. He also said that as of the week of October 31st, he thought the snowmobile was still on the trailer.) Kratz stopped at this point to add the following:

Q.   Now, I'm just asking you about your observations, Blaine, I don't know -- I don't care who you talked to, or what somebody might have said, but just what you saw with your own eyes, okay?
A.   Okay.
Q.   Do you remember seeing, with your own eyes, or remembering your own observations, whether or not that Suzuki and that snowmobile were moved somewhere else, at some point after the 31st of October? 
A.   I'm not sure, no.
Q.   Okay.  You just remember the 31st, that they were next to the garage; is that right?
A.   Yes.

10. Because Blaine, when asked twice before about the burn barrel, didn't say, as he had rehearsed with Kratz, that he saw white smoke, which would be the color of smoke if plastic were burning, Kratz asked him a third time about the burn barrel:

Q.   Now, can you describe for the jury the smoke or anything else that you saw coming out of that burn barrel when you got home that day?

ATTORNEY STRANG:  Asked and answered, twice. 

ATTORNEY KRATZ:  I want him to describe, if he can, I want to know if he can describe the color, or if there were flames, or more descriptive of what he saw, Judge. That has not been answered.

ATTORNEY STRANG:  It's been asked and answered, twice.

THE COURT:  I know the question has been answered if there was something coming out of it. I don't remember if there was a request for a description, so I will allow the question.

Q.   (By Attorney Kratz)~ If you remember, Blaine, do you remember anything coming out of that burn barrel?

A.   Yeah, white smoke.

(Blaine originally said there weren't any fires in burn barrels that day.)



The screenshots above and below are from CASO's November 4th flyover of the Avery property. Many portions of the recording seemed to be intentionally blurred, especially the areas in front of Avery's truck and Barb Janda's shed, where Avery parked the trailer after returning it to Barb. Are the trailer and Skidoo snowmobile parked between Avery's truck and the garage overhead door in the screenshots above and below?



The flyover video from November 4th is blurred but there appears to be something between Avery's truck and his garage overhead door (image above). That something could be the Skidoo snowmobile on the trailer Avery borrowed from Barb to haul the snowmobile from Crivitz to his home on October 30th. That snowmobile on the trailer would have been blocking the garage overhead door, preventing anyone from pushing the Suzuki outside the garage, as the State claims was done to make room for Teresa's RAV4 on October 31st.



Avery's truck was parked to the side of his garage overhead door when law enforcement commandeered the property on November 5th (Steven and other family members were at the family cabin in Crivitz). The trailer used to tow the Skidoo snowmobile from Crivitz to the Avery property on October 30th had been parked, with the Skidoo still on it, in front of Avery's garage overhead door. Prior to November 4th, Avery had moved the Skidoo inside his garage and moved the trailer, which belonged to Barb, beside her home.




On October 30th, Avery used Barb Janda's trailer and his Ford truck to tow a Skidoo snowmobile from Crivitz to the Avery property. According to Blaine, he was with Steven when he towed it on October 30th; and during the week of October 31st, it was still on the trailer as far as he could remember (Blaine stayed at the home of his boss November 4-12th). Avery had moved the Skidoo off the trailer and into his garage prior to the evening of November 4th, and then returned the trailer to Barb, moving it to the side of her home.



The image above is from a flyover video taken by a drone on October 31, 2016.  The large yellow box at the bottom of the image is the turnaround on Avery Road, near the mailboxes, where the school bus driver dropped off the Dassey brothers. The tiny pink box at the top of the image is where the minivan that Teresa photographed was parked on October 31, 2005. The distance is about 1000 feet or 333 yards (the length of about three football fields). The school bus driver said she saw Teresa taking pictures of a van by the mailboxes (the yellow box); however, the van that Teresa photographed was parked in the long, shared driveway between Steven Avery and Barb Janda's homes (the pink box).


Screenshot of a 2016 drone flyover of the Avery property.

In the image above, the spot where the bus driver picked up and dropped off the Dassey brothers is marked with the yellow box. It is at the end of Avery Road, where it intersects with the long shared driveway to Barb and Steven's homes. The spot where Barb's van was parked on October 31st, and the days that followed, is marked with the pink box.

On November 5th, the day police took over the Avery property, the bus driver for the Dassey brothers approached law enforcement at barriers on HWY 147 and County Road Q (she walked there from her home on County Road Q). She told them that on October 31st around 3:40 p.m. she saw a women, who she thought was Teresa, talking pictures at the spot where she dropped off the Dassey brothers. She gave a statement to Wiegert two days later, on November 7th, and clearly stated that it was at the intersection of Avery Road and the long, shared driveway where she saw Teresa taking pictures of a van. But the van was not parked at the spot. It was parked down the shared driveway, near Steven's trailer.

The bus driver was mistaken. She did not see Teresa on October 31st. She may have seen a women taking pictures of a vehicle parked at the mailboxes since there was a red and black Blazer, along with a Monte Carlo/Grand Prix, for sale on that day; or she saw Teresa taking pictures three weeks earlier, on October 10th, when she came to the Avery property to photograph the Grand Prix that Steven wanted to sell. Steven said Teresa usually came between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m., so it is likely the bus driver never saw Teresa at any time or on any day because she dropped off the boys between 3:30 and 3:45 p.m.
