Dolores Avery — Dead from a Broken Heart

Madison, Wisconsin — Dolores Avery, the mother of the once-exonerated Steven Avery, passed away this morning.

Mrs. Avery is featured in the Emmy-winning Making a Murderer docuseries, shown contending with the ordeal of her son in his battle with dubious law enforcement, as an apparent frame-up scheme by Wisconsin law enforcement devastates her family in 2005.

Steven was exonerated and released in 2003 after an earlier frame-up scheme in 1985 was exposed by the Innocence Project.

After Steven Avery filed a federal civil rights suit, law enforcement took unusual notice of Avery, singling him out as a perpetrator for the 2005 murder of a young photographer, Teresa Halbach.

The Making a Murderer docuseries offers a poignant look at Dolores Avery, distraught and helpless as law enforcement targets and convicts her son and grandson, Brendan Dassey.

Dolores was known locally as a kind-hearted and principled woman who died never understanding why law enforcement and now the Wisconsin Democratic Party leadership worked so hard to imprison a man whom they know to be innocent.

The world-wide community supporting Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey appears to be grieving today.

Avery is awaiting the decision in state appellate court on several pending motions.

Viewers of Making a Murderer were compelled to feel the pain and suffering of Mr. and Mrs. Avery.

Both come off as salt-of-the-earth and bewildered by the massive and onerous Wisconsin legal system that separated their family until Dolores Avery's death.
