‘He’s a monster, he is not innocent’: Stephen Avery’s ex Jodi speaks out
*There are SPOILERS in this article.*
Making a Murderer, Netflix's seminal crime series, has been turning the internet on it's head ever since going live over the Christmas holidays.
But now it seems that Jodi Stachowski , Steven's former partner who appeared in the first few episodes of the series before the couple went their separate ways, has finally opened up about the case.
"Steve Avery is guilty. He murdered Teresa Halbach. He and his nephew [Brendan Dassey] raped and murdered her," said Jodi in a taped interview with Nancy Grace, television host on US news network, HLN.
According to US Weekly, the former girlfriend of Steven Avery reached out to the Nancy Grace Show after the host raised questions about the documentary and the case.
When a producer asked Jodi what she wanted to tell the world, she replied: "The truth. What a monster he is, and he's not innocent."
"I love Making a Murderer. It's beautifully put together, it's just leaving out about 60 or 70 percent of the evidence.
"I remember interviewing Steve Avery while we were still looking for Teresa. My knowledge at that time and now is that he brutally murdered this girl.
"True, he was wrongly convicted on a previous charge, and that's a miscarriage of justice too. But he killed Teresa Halbach."
Amidst the pretty damning statements, Jodi also revealed she feared being around her ex-boyfriend when they were together.
"I ate two boxes of rat poison just so I could go the hospital and get away from him, and ask them to get the police to help me."
These new revelations by Jodi are pretty shocking especially considering she made a pretty convincing case for Steven's innocence in the documentary.
