Dr. John DeHaan has conducted dozens of scientific experiments burning the bodies of cadavers under different temperature scenarios as well as indoor and outdoor settings.

In 2017, he was retained by Kathleen T. Zellner & Associates to study everything from the trial testimony, police reports, maps, photos, animated reconstructions, and forensic anthropology reports surrounding the discovery of Teresa’s skeletal remains around the Avery property.

For DeHaan, studying the lay of the land was critical. Avery’s forty-acre square property was rural, surrounded by forests and farms. Their land is south of State Highway 147, about five miles east of Interstate 43, less than ten miles northwest of Two Rivers and about twenty-five miles southeast of Green Bay. The northeast corner of the Avery property had four business buildings including an office, garages, and storage spaces. The residence of Al and Dolores Avery was in the northeast corner. A dirt lane led into the salvage yard where the wrecked cars were left. Another dirt lane, to the south, was where Chuck Avery lived. A third dirt lane ran due west of Avery Road and this lane featured two trailers about sixty-five yards apart, each with a detached garage. Steven Avery lived in the northeast corner trailer and his sister Barb lived in the other trailer with her four sons.

“In the southwest corner of the Avery property there was a dirt lane that ran immediately adjacent to an old gravel conveyor. This lane connected the Avery property to the gravel pits to the south. Within the car pit area, there were numerous dirt lanes separating rows of wrecked vehicles,” Dr. DeHaan said.

There were also seven burn barrels spread out across the entire Avery parcel. Steven Avery kept one about forty yards northeast of his trailer. Four more burn barrels were clustered just south of his sister Barb’s trailer. The parents, Allan and Delores Avery, had a burn barrel west of their residence. The seventh barrel was west of Chuck’s domicile. All seven barrels were regularly used to burn common garbage from the kitchen and bathrooms. Steven Avery’s burn pit behind his detached garage burned “household and automotive discards, trash, and animal remains,” DeHaan said.

Then, to the south and to the west, the Avery land was bordered by active gravel pits owned by Radandt and Manitowoc County.

One important distinction DeHaan made was that “The Manitowoc County pit did not border the Avery property.”

During Avery’s trial, Kratz speculated that Teresa’s body was incinerated outside under the dark skies of Halloween. The circular area consisted of a mound of gravel, about one to two feet high. The entire mound of gravel was about thirty feet in diameter. The burn area was rectangular, about six feet long. “On November 8, 2005, Sgt. Jason Jost of the Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Office observed what he suspected may be a vertebrae on the grass outside the south edge of the burn pit … The burned remains of vehicle tires, unburned tires, various hand tools, and a vehicle’s bench seat were recovered in the vicinity of the burn pit.
