The Avery Trial: Episode 7 - The Pilot, the Customers and the Vanishing

#truecrimepodcast #truecrimedocumentary #stevenavery

In Episode 7 of The Avery Trial, we hear from Curtis Drumm, a pilot hired by the police department to do flyovers around the area. Learn where they went and what they found. We also hear from two customers of Teresa's that day. One was just a bit on the sketchy side; well, not her exactly, more her husband who, weirdly, didn't testify.
