Analyzing Avery, Debriefing Dassey: What Happened to Halbach?

Despite the search-traffic-generating title, Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey will only be mentioned in-passing during this podcast. That's because the big "twist" in this podcast pertains to neither man, but to an innovative theory as to how photographer Teresa Halbach was murdered in accordance to biblical sin-offering rituals.

Irrespective of the -who- killed Halbach, the similarities between her demise and an Old Testament ritual are uncanny and supported by forensic evidence.

A clue can be found in the Book of Leviticus, which details the sacrificial rite in which bulls (or "bullocks") are slain and burnt as "sin offerings:" They are drained of blood, and then burnt "outside the camp" (in a remote area, such as a salvage yard) and in a "clean place" (such as a burn barrel, which has been purged of bacteria by fire, like an autoclave).

Forensic evidence supports this: Halbach was apparently drained of blood, because blood does -not- burn easily or combust completely, meaning that some of Halbach's blood -should- have been available for analysis -- if she had been burnt without first being (mostly) drained of blood.

Instead, there were no traces of Teresa's blood, only a dash of Avery's blood (on his dashboard) and none of Dassey's DNA.

Furthermore, -someone- had cut her throat (in the manner in which Old Testament bulls were drained of their blood), as revealed by the coroner's report and by investigators continually pressing Brendan Dassey into answering the questions, "Did you cut her?" and, "How about on the throat? Did you cut here there?"

Finally, Halbach's charred remains were found in a burn pit that was (more-or-less) shaped like an Old Testament Jewish altar, complete with comparable dimensions.
