Orth spoke to Pam Sturm after her “search”—but he didn’t check the VIN either. Both officers kept their distance, claimed to avoid touching the vehicle, and deferred entirely to Pam’s call to dispatch.Meanwhile, Pam Sturm had testified she walked right up to the RAV4, read most of the 17-digit VIN through the windshield, and reported it. So... why didn’t trained law enforcement confirm it? Why were they so hands-off when the most crucial evidence had just been found?🔔 LISTEN / WATCH 🎧 Audio Podcast: https://pod.link/1845381299▶️ Watch the full video playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCJ3mSH5sYXsw6fiiDWTDAL0bYtfSwvKz  📌 START FROM EPISODE 1The Trial Files is a courtroom deep-dive series from Beach House 34, exploring trials through testimony, evidence, and official records—no fluff, no speculation.✅ STAY CONNECTED🎥 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beachhouse34📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/BeachHouse34Podcast🌐 Website: https://BeachHouse34.com💬 Join the community & support the show:🚪 Patreon: https://patreon.com/BeachHouse34💰 Tip Jar: https://ko-fi.com/beachhouse34🧾 LINKS & SOURCEShttps://foulplay.sitehttps://StevenAveryCase.orghttps://www.youtube.com/@BM-iv9xu
