Making a murderer subject steven avery getting investigation discovery special
Netflix's new true crime series Making a Murderer has caught the public's attention, and the light is going to continue to shine on subject Steven Avery. Investigation Discovery announced on January 8th at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that the network is working on a new special about Avery.
An Avery-focused special edition of ID's Front Page series, hosted by journalist Keith Morrison, will air in late January, announced Henry Schleiff, group president of Investigation Discovery, American Heroes Channel and Destination America.
“We feel compelled to address what we believe are some critical details missing from the Netflix production ... in an attempt to provide critical, crucial evidence and testimonies that answer many of the questions surrounding Steven Avery," Henry Schleiff said at ID's TCA presentation.
Making a Murderer examined the case of Avery, a Wisconsin man imprisoned for 18 years for a sexual assault conviction he was later exonerated from, only to be arrested and convicted, along with his nephew Brendan Dassey, two years later for the murder of photographer Teresa Halbach. The Netflix series launched the public's reexamination of the case and sparked speculation about whether Avery and Dassey are innocent of the crime.
