Making A Murderer's Steven Avery is getting married to a woman from Las Vegas who he has only met in person once. Fair play, fast mover.
The 54-year-old has lead a rocky life after being exonerated after serving 18 years in prison for a rape he did not commit, and then being convicted of the murder of photographer Teresa Halback, which was featured in the Netflix TV show.

Although he is currently appealing his life prison sentence and remains in in jail, in the meantime he has become engaged to a legal secretary named Lynn Hartman.
He popped the question to Hartman after speaking to her over the phone and sending her letters for eight months. They then met up in person and apparently they hit it off.
Speaking from his prison cell, Avery, who has been engaged twice and married once before, said: "She's going to be my future wife, we'll be laughing forever.
"I'm happy, she treats me decent, she loves me, she's kind of spoiling me right now. I just want to be happy and enjoy my life, I think I did enough time."
The 53-year-old, along with his nephew Brendan Dassey, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2005 for killing Teresa Halback.
