In the documentary Making a Murder, Brendan Dassey, nephew of Stephen Avery, gave a testimony that implicated himself and Avery in the murder of Teresa Halback (Demos, Ricciardi, 2015). Among one of the many issues presented within the documentary was the treatment that Dassey received. Dassey had an IQ of 70 and was taking special education classes (Demos, Ricciardi, 2015). Dassey’s IQ was lower than average but almost on the edge of intellectual disability (Dassey v Dittman, 2016, p.5). After giving the confession, he asked if he would be able to get back to class by a certain time to turn in a project (Demos, Ricciardi, 2015).
In the spring before the murders, the barn was broken into twice, and the house was broken into once. During all of these three break-ins, things of value were stolen, yet no one saw or heard anything. This proves that before the murder, someone outside of the family desired the Borden family’s wealth. (Guided notes). We know for a fact that close to the time of the murders, someone was repeatedly sleeping on two of the haystacks in the barn.

1920’s Unsolved Mysteries It’s easy to say that the 1920’s was an iconic era; women began rebelling to gain respect; jazz music was up and coming, alcohol was banned, and there was an increase in gangster activity. The prevalence of these actions coinciding lead to a huge increase in organized crime, because prohibition left society with anticipation… anticipation that left crimes, unresolved.
