Avery made national headlines in 2003 when he was released after serving 18 years for a sexual assault he never committed. Two years later, Avery and his then 16-year-old nephew Dassey were charged with killing Halbach, who visited the Avery family salvage yard on the day of her disappearance.

Following an investigation and lengthy trial, both were convicted and sentenced to life terms, but only Dassey is eligible for parole – in 2048.
