Where Steven Avery's Kids Are Now
Bill didn't explain why he and his brother stopped visiting their dad when he spoke to FOX 11, but we got a much deeper insight into Avery's twin sons when they sat down with Crime Watch Daily in 2016. They agreed to the interview on the condition that it was conducted by Melissa Moore, the daughter of Keith Hunter Jesperson, a.k.a. the Happy Face Killer.
During the interview, Moore asked Steven Jr. what memories he had of those early prison visits. "I remember him giving us hugs and kisses," he said. "I think the visitation was like three hours or something; I mean, you can't really build much of a bond on a three-hour visitation once a month." According to Steven Jr., his and Bill's relationship with Avery deteriorated when they started to get a little older, saying, "Me and my brother, we had ADHD, so we never sat still; always bugging other inmates during their visitations with their family. My dad ended up getting upset, so he spanked us."
Was this just old-fashioned discipline, or was Avery out of control? "A little bit of both, in a way," Bill said. "I was just tired of it, being young and to know you're going to go up there and get spanked." The twins revealed that a threatening letter Avery allegedly sent to their mother was the final straw. Steven Jr. said, "If you love somebody you don't threaten them like that."
