Making a Murderer subject Steven Avery was named a 'murder suspect' just 154 minutes after Teresa Halbach was reported missing.

Explosive evidence points to claims that police were deliberately targeting Avery in a bid to set him up - despite them having no body and no evidence to prove she had been even been killed.

Now campaigners say from the very outset and without conducting an appropriate investigation into her disappearance - Avery was 'framed' beyond reasonable doubt and it took police just two and a half hours to do so.

Tragic Miss Halbach, a photographer, disappeared on Halloween 2005 - she was reported missing on November 3rd 2005 at 4pm by her mother Karen, according to local newspaper reports.

Her boss at Auto Trader called the family after she missed work for two days in a row and they reported it to police.

Now according to new documents released by the State of Wisconsin to campaigner Skipp Topp under Freedom of Information, Mr Avery, was accused of "homicide" at 6.34pm on the night of November 3rd 2005 - just 154 minutes after the police opened a missing persons case.

According to a "subject activity report" Mr Avery was accused of being involved in a "homicide" in the FBI Uniforma Crime Reporting Program National Incident-Based Reporting System.

And campaigners say the police could not have possibly known that Miss Halbach was dead - nor could they have done an appropriate investigation to discover whether she was actually even missing by tracing her last known steps.

Within hours of this a search party was instigated by Miss Halbach's brother and her ex-boyfriend - and they targeted Mr Avery's property.

Two days later shamed Calumet County District Attorney Kenneth Kratz revealed that acting on a tip off - that the police found Teresa's car discarded at Avery Salvage Yard.

He said: "We had information that the car was on this property. We got a search warrant and did in fact find the car."

This startling new evidence comes days after Mirror Online revealed glaring inaccuracies over Miss Halbach's death certificate.

Fragment's of Miss Halbach's bones were not found until the 8th of November 2005 - meaning police could not have possibly known Teresa was dead on the day she was reported missing.

Now campaigner Shaun Attwood says that not only does motive exist but this is the most compelling evidence yet that Avery was framed.

He said: "I have never seen anything with so much compelling evidence to show that someone was framed.

"You have motive - with the money he was due, with people's careers on the line and now you have more and more paperwork which seems to point to a total stitch-up job.

"Everything has been doctored from the initial homicide call, right up to the death certificate - nothing is what it appears.

"As soon as police logged this missing person's call and handed over what evidence they 'discovered' Steven Avery became a prop in the theatre show of Mr Ken Kratz.

"What Kratz was even doing commenting on a case in public before she was even confirmed dead is a wonder to me.

"What is abundantly clear to me here is that police had Steven in mind for a murder that they didn't even know had happened - or someone from the police was involved in a murder.

"No other suspects were investigated and this is not protocol for police, they locked on target without question.

"Usually an above board team of investigators will look at the closest people to the victims, especially family members and anyone who knew her because that's the first thing they do.

"The vast majority of murders are committed by people with strong links to the suspect but they didn't consider for a minute that anyone else could be involved.

"This, in my opinion, is conclusive proof that Steven Avery was set up from the get go.

"I have to ask something here, were police in on her death?

"How could they possibly know that she was dead within two and a half hours?

"The more you look at this case the deeper the culpability from the police behaviour becomes obvious, there are so many levels to this case that the Making a Murderer documentary makes didn't even illustrate.

"What I can categorically state though it that whomever reported Steven as a 'homicide' suspect two and a half hours after a missing persons report - knows way more than they should about the conspiracy.

"That person got the frame going on the computer system - they have the most information on the magnitude of the conspiracy and they should be questioned.

"If I was Kathleen Zellner I'd now be asking the State to compel that person who reported Steven as a suspect as a new witness in this case."
