The attorney of Steven Avery, convicted in the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach in 2005, says a new reward is out to find someone whom she calls “the real killer.”

Back in August, Judge Angela Sutkiewicz denied Avery’s request in the 2005 killing of Halbach.
The case was highly documented by the Netflix series “Making a Murderer.”
Halbach’s remains were found in the Avery family’s salvage yard. Avery argued the state turned over bones to the Halbach family without notifying the defense, but the judge ruled that does not mean Avery should get a new trial.
The bones were given to Halbach’s family in 2011, but Avery’s attorneys were not notified until 2018. Tests were inconclusive about whether the bones were animal or human.
Avery’s nephew, Brendan Dassey, also is serving a life sentence in the killing.
