The Avery Trial: Episode 9: Finding Teresa's RAV4: Too Lucky to be True?

#truecrime #unsolvedcases #truecrimedocumentary

What are the odds that some volunteer searchers, two of them, find Teresa's missing SUV is found under 30 minutes inside a massive, I mean massive 40-acre junkyard with over 4000 cars? In this episode, we hear from Pam Sturm - Teresa's cousin who "miraculously" found Teresa's vehicle in under 30 minutes.

How does this happen? Or....did someone make sure it happened?

We'll hear her testimony, see how it relates to Ryan Hillegas and then hear what Kathleen Zellner's post-conviction documents say about this "find".
