About
Investigator Gary Steier testified in Steven Avery’s trial about evidence custody during the March searches of Avery’s garage. He said another investigator found two bullet fragments; Steier collected one, and a detective collected the other. Asked about officers’ presence and possible evidence planting, Steier said he saw no evidence passed to an officer for concealment or planting, but could not know whether he would have detected such a transfer. Defense questioning tested both Manitowoc officers’ involvement and the limits of his observations. In Brendan Dassey's trial, Kevin Heimerl identified Steier as a Calumet County member of the garage-search team.
