Who killed Teresa Halbach?

This is an update of evidence that Edward Wayne Edwards, the serial killer, was involved in, and likely killed, Teresa Halbach ( leading to the wrongful conviction of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey ). The earlier evidence linking Edwards to the murder was in the form of two anonymous messages ( anonymous taunting messages are part of Edwards’ MO, see for example Laci Peterson remains planted or Chris Coleman or the Zodiac Killer or Elizabeth Short ), see here.

The new evidence is messages contained in at least 150 messages left by “I Killed Laci Peterson” on the “Fratpack forum” ( which may well have been run by Edwards and/or his associates ), from October 11, 2005 to at least November 10, 2005.

[ Teresa Halbach disappeared on October 31, 2005 ]

Conclusion

The timing and content of these messages suggest that Edwards was involved in the murder of Teresa Halbach, confirming the interpretation of the other anonymous messages.

Now that (Halbach) I do know Ed was involved in.

Not the right video that shows the blue cars but this one does show where I was told the Rave4 was DRIVEN in to the salvage yard. The wheel cover is probably still up there unless someone was smart enough to get over their own theories and look at the other options. I believe Ed counted on people fixating on their own intelligence and not recognizing his. I’m sorry to be unloading this on you. I’m getting desperate to have people recognize who Ed was and his abilities to control people. I was fed information when I was in an altered state. I don’t know who will believe me really except maybe Margene and hopefully some of his other controls who begin to remember after his name gets more out into the public. Then again those people may all be in institutions or their memories could put them there when they do learn about Ed. I believe I was a lock box or a sort of time capsule for memories…someone he could brag to about his setups. I was not conscious but the information was fed into my subconscious. I had to find someone who knew Burton Abbott was innocent before I could begin to remember Ed. Boy did I find that person, 44 years after I started looking. I don’t know if Ed killed Teresa Halbach or just orchestrated the setup.

Yes, Ed said something about Teresa Halbach. I’ve told you in the past. I don’t know where or how to find the search in conversation tool.

I think someone has finally figured out that the 2 dark blue state police cars were involved in the coverup and that the hunting camp was too.

Ed told me the car was parked under the big evergreen tree at the camp for a while. It couldn’t be seen from the air during a search because of the “green” color of the car. I might have told you about that before.

On 2/19/2019 I messaged this to JC: “I finally remembered Ed talking about the red car in the Salvage yard and how the “idiot” thought he could move it over with the Rave4. He had to go around and enter the yard by where there was a single tree in the field behind the house with the half circle drive. You couldn’t get the car to the salvage yard from the quarry, or whatever that place was, on that side…way too steep. The stick figure looking thing in the middle of that quarry looked like a spaceman with a helmet that went way to one side to me. The person who drove the vehicle in didn’t follow instructions again and turned short by the wrong white vehicle. He hit that vehicle too or something on the way down to the pond. Anyway, on the 4th there were 2 people standing by a white station wagon signaling to the helicopter to show where to put the car…black or dark shirts and light brown or khaki pants. Something about a black car being backed too close or into the pond. I think that car was parked somewhere else afterward. He showed me in the video where the bones were found and the hunting camp where the Rave4 was parked under a large conifer tree behind a trailer or building…you wouldn’t know it was there if you flew over it because it was green and blended in. There may still be footage from at least the TV station. Ed also told me about the taillight on the car across from the Rave4. Someone almost got caught…maybe something to do with the Rave4’s battery.”

Ed wouldn’t have moved the car. Unless you think he was calling himself an “idiot” when he was talking about the person who put the car in the salvage yard.
