where he perpetrated ten sadistic murders. Then in 1986 he disappeared, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area.

audiences across demographic lines, it made Steven Avery a household name and thrust defense attorney Jerome F. Buting--and his fight against America's dysfunctional criminal justice system--into the spotlight. Buting uses the Avery case as a springboard to examine the shaky integrity of our law enforcement and legal systems, which he has witnessed firsthand for nearly four decades.
