WEST MEMPHIS 3! What Really Happened?

[@poisonousjinx9823]

The mother’s reaction to finding out her son was died broke my heart. You could hear pure pain in her sobs. I couldn’t imagine how she felt I feel so sorry for all the family and the three boys

[@901chloe]

Poisonous Jinx you could literally feel her pain 🥺

[@ooohlalaandrea]

Yes it choked me up... I lost an infant to SIDS and I've never gotten over it, I wanted to die early on- lost everything including my sanity and hope and my older daughter (to her grandparents) & became homeless and a drug addict... God willing, I'm in a good place now (8 years later I have 2 yrs clean) and a loving fiance and a huge home, regaining my relationship with my living daughter, etc. My point is, if God taking my angel home with him threw me into despair and depression and hopelessness, idk WHAT I would have done if a person had stolen my baby's life and hurt her in the way these boys were hurt. Even all these years later, my prayers go out to that family, especially that momma... you NEVER get over something like that, you just...learn to carry on mindlessly like a robot performing programmed tasks :/

[@merebearbelieve7842]

In the mid 70s when I was 9 years old I almost got kidnapped disappeared almost and one ofmy last thoughts before collapsing on my mother's porch was if I was taken I wanted my parents to know what had happened to me and I wanted them to be ok I had younger siblings This was before missing children faces were put on milkcartons There wasn't good public awareness back then and confusion about the type of person that might do this kids. But something about my parents never knowing possibly really upset .I was lucky but not unchanged by experience. Some real justice for parents that suffers this kind of loss I will always pray for.

[@MarcyTrivette]

You didn't even mention the mysterious man that came into Bojangles that night covered in blood with his pants wet and muddy up to his knees. Similar to how the police investigators' pants looked after they were in the drainage ditch searching for the boys. He came in and went straight into the ladies restroom. The manager of that Bojangles called the police but by the time an officer showed up, the man was gone. The officer didn't even come inside. She came to the drive thru window and the manager told her that the man had left blood smeared all over the wall in the restroom. He asked the officer if she was going to come inside to check it out and she said no. They did come back later and take samples of the blood that the man had smeared on the wall. Later, during Jason and Damien's trial, one of the defense lawyers asked an officer who was on the stand, if they had sent those blood samples off to be tested. The officer said no and when asked why they hadn't been tested, the officer said he lost the samples. Yeah, he "lost" them. That was a pretty significant piece of evidence, but they lost it? Yeah, bullshit!

[@gotohellenwaite6371]

Mr Bojangles had a cast on his arm . Each boy was hog tied with their own shoe laces , each had different style knots used to tie them up. How can a one armed man subdue 3 boys and tie each one with their own shoe laces using different knots? I do admit back when I was all crazy into this case even before the movies came out in the beginning was like WTH?? Why aren’t we looking for Mr Bojangles.. then I learned of the other evidence. Fibers from a robe in Jason Baldwins home and Damien Echols shirt worn that night were on the bodies. Blue candle wax that was consistent from a blue candle in Damien Echols bedroom was on Chris Byers shirt.

I will always have incredible respect for Jason Baldwin. They came to him roughly every 10 years offering him deals if he would testify against Damien but he refused every time because he knew they were innocent and refused to turn on his best friend even if it meant he got set free. He wanted to turn down the alford plea but ultimately took it to save Damien's life. That is the definition of integrity.

I have done alot of reading on this case ! Terry's wife said when she comes home . Terry had washed his clothes and cleaned a room in the house with bleach . This was outta the ordinary for him. She would get beat for not cleaning up and doing laundry. So everything had done been clean . The only clothes that he washed was what he had been wearing that day. There's so many other facts that aren't talked about . The small details were dismissed . There's so many experts and regular people who lied on the stand . There's so many stories about what happened the only that knows is the one who did it. The police work was non-existing and sloppy . The DA said as far as his concerned they have 3 confessions with the Alfred pleas . That's just crazy!

No doubt about it. But it was the early 90s and so many people where scared of so called satanism. People belived that there where cults that made human sacrifices and other rituals, and kids with black clothes who listened to bands like metallica where an easy target to pin this on.

He has the most evidence against him his dna was at the scene he had motive to do it and the boys would’ve trusted him ! The WM3 didn’t even know the boys like ! The cops and everyone else saw them as 3 boys who were apart of satanism and back then those types of people scared others ! And so they made it seem like it was them the cops have been proven and known to convince people to admit to doing a crime ! The WM3 are 100% innocent!

[@BeyondTheJordan]

4 years late to the party, nobody will ever see this...BUT I think it's important to note that Echols hasn't stopped seeking justice for the REAL killers since he got out of prison. His lawyers have been tirelessly pushing to retest DNA evidence found at the crime scene with newer methods than were available in the 1990's. IF he were guilty, would he really do this? Would he not just slink off and enjoy his freedom? He certainly wouldn't take any chances of further confirming his guilt! I think these three can safely be taken off the list of those who could have done it.

[@dwalto1977]

Yeah, and OJ is still looking for the real killer.

[@dwalto1977]

Echols wasn't the one pushing for DNA testing, it was Bob ruff and his followers. Why only test one set of ligatures? There are semen stains that could be tested. A known DNA source. His attorneys would have requested that to be tested if they really wanted the truth.

Why did their story change and explanations not add up? Why 3 different knots? What about the bottle of whiskey that Misskelley confessed to drinking and disposing of, which was found confirming his confession? I’m new to this case and there is a lot of information and different aspects to look at it from. But from an outsiders perspective, a lot seems to point to the wm3 as the murderers. Narcissists and pathological liars tend to be very charming, it doesn’t surprise me that one could fool a following of people to believe their innocence.

Going on the idea that Hobbs killed all three boys. Maybe he had two of the boys tie eachother up and he tied up the third one. They were scouts and would have known how to tie knots.

[@aleeurquhart624]

Anna Lazrak you could tie someone up without getting your hair in the knot. it just so happened that his hair had fallen off and gotten tied up in the knot, or his hair had gotten caught in the knot somehow. as far as tying them up goes, he could have easily tied them up after he killed them. just a theory!

I read about a case a guy was drinking and driving and went off the road. Called somebody to pick him up and left his trunk. About 100 feet away from his truck was a dead body of a stranger and they convicted him of it without a stitch of evidence just on the mere fact that his truck went off the road near the body. He has since been found innocent but shows how easy you can go fro Living your life to spending the rest of it in prison for something you didn’t do.

I think its so lovely that you don't put graphic content in your video's and that you warn people about it. I just think its really respectful of us and the poor young victims. 💖

[@curlwhurl8054]

Yes, definitely! I cannot even begin to comprehend the feelings of shock and hurt they must be experiencing :/

[@smiis3149]

For sure! It was a little bit upsetting that the bodies were shown in the first 2 minutes of the Paradise Lost documentary. If you want to brave it, go ahead - i’m really sensitive to this kind of thing too but the bodies didn’t bother me too much, as in most of the shots they were either extremely zoomed out or facing away from the camera with no visible marks (just very pale). The shot that did show a face (Stevie Branch) was pretty horrible as he was obviously pained, but it is quite blurry. It’s definitely worth braving through if you’re of the opinion that the three men are innocent (they do show a close up of Moore’s face from the autopsy near the end, sorry I can’t remember when - it’s one of the photos the police showed Misskelley to try and scare him into a confession), it’s a brilliant documentary that changed the judicial system forever :)

[@curlwhurl8054]

smiis Thank you so much for being very informative and for the heads up! 😊 I am extremely interested in this case...coming from the UK I had never heard of it before so I am really wanting to research more and watch 'Paradise Lost' I am very squeamish about bodies (I learn't my lesson looking at The Black Dahlia case. That is very interesting, but the pictures are very graphic). But I suppose that is something we have to somehow deal with when we have an interest in crime cases and investigations. Still I think its lovely of Kendall to be very sympathetic about things like that, and thank you for giving me an idea on what to expect. It makes me feel a little less anxious...so I really do appreciate it ☺

[@smiis3149]

No worries, tell me how it goes! :) I only heard about this case pretty recently, but I swear in the past month I've watched and read everything made about this case, I'm just infatuated with it for some reason. Coincidentally I only saw the Black Dahlia face photo for the first time a few days, that was pretty horrifying. One of the boy's faces in this case is messed up really badly, and it's not shown in any documentaries because of that :) Probably the best documentary I've watched on the case is called West of Memphis. It shows graphic photos more often than the Paradise Lost trilogy, but it's absolutely brilliant and stays more unbiased than other films. Also gives a lot of evidence proving Terry Hobbs is guilty. It's on Netflix, it's HD, and it's the most high quality film out of all of them as it was released in 2012. i'd definitely give it a go!

[@curlwhurl8054]

I don't know if you are around or not but I just wanted to let you know that I got around to watching the first part of Paradise Lost today. The bodies were horrifying and sad to look at, definitely something which will stay with me all of my life, but I think it's better to be aware of the boy's story instead of treating them as if nothing happened. My head is super blagged from all the information and greyness of the case but I'm about 99 percent sure Terry Hobbs did it, and I really don't think the boys did it. I just think they were unique individuals in a very narrowminded small community, all with troubling backgrounds and this just allowed people to paint a bias picture of them doing it without any real evidence. But I plan to watch West of Memphis next and read books on the case too. It's very interesting, but god my heart hurts for those poor children :/ I hope you are well!

It makes me so mad that Terry Hobbs hasn't been investigated more. I truly believe he is involved somehow. I know people grieve differently, but showed absolutely NO emotion during that interview. He didn't even try to speak. This is just my opinion, but I think he only meant to kill his stepson, but since he was with friends, I think he killed them, too, to keep them from talking.

[@kolaida]

Terry definitely stands out as a suspect for sure!

[@PureEvil1138]

He has had all of his teeth removed so they can't even use the bite marks as evidence

[@curlwhurl8054]

After all the researching I am gravitating towards it being Terry Hobbs too. It's mindblowing that he never got looked into or interviewed. I mean he has a past of being violent and attempting to sexually assault a woman. And the way the boys were found the crime has a sexually brutal element to it (the fact they were stripped and tied up). Although we don't know it's him for sure, he's a vile man at least.

[@chrispap4957]

Involved somehow? He did it. Terry Hobbs killed these boys. Mark Byers did not have anything to do with this. Obviously this is just my opinion and I respect anyone else's opinion in this case. Me personally, I believe it was Terry Hobbs, very likely with his friend, David Jacoby...

[@hayleyjames7893]

What makes me sad is the people that say that the WM3 were singled out because the dressed differently and acted a certain way are doing the exact same thing thing to Byers and Hobbs. Hobbs is a disgusting human being without a doubt but that doesn't mean he killed those boys. I am not saying Hobbs didn't do it but it just blows my mind that they base it off a hair that MIGHT be his but it could also belong to anyone from 1.5 percent of the population and even if it was his it could have secondary transfer. The defence even said it isn't enough to say he did it and wasn't the smoking gun they were hoping for. Also, he was seen by Michael Moore's mother and sister at 6.30pm on his driveway when she came by asking if her son was over there because she wanted him to come home for dinner. So Hobbs knew at this point that at least one person was out looking for them and decides to go and find and kill the boys despite knowing people were looking. I'm not saying that he did or didn't do it but saying that he looks guilty is what people have been so outraged over in the first place with the WM3.

[@Emilygregoire9]

People have studied his body language (obviously experts in the subject) and they have said the same thing. Body language is hard to fake unless you are a true psychopath. I don’t think he is a psychopath because he has actually shown remorse for what he has done. I 100% think he did it. The mom of the boy who was married to terry actually left him after finding the little boy’s knife that he did not leave anywhere without. Even the day he was murdered. Pretty sure his grandparents gave it to him or something and his mom thought she would never see the pocket knife again. A few years later she fucking found the knife hidden in her attic in a bunch of terry’s things. They all think terry did it and still to this day express that feeling. The state will never ever ever ever charge him even if they have all the evidence in the world because they would owe the men that were in jail millions and millions in wrongful conviction. I truly believe they have more then enough evidence against terry but unfortunately it will never matter now. Damien actually directed a documentary as well and they have somebody that says they were at a friends house and overheard terry freaking out and crying about the fact that he killed those boys and didn’t mean to. Obviously this is just hearsay but it sounds legit. Pretty sure you can just look it up right on KZbin.

I believe that he led them there instructed them to remove their clothes, tied them and then killed them. This is all just my theory but I truly believe that given their ages they were most likely just frightened and following the orders of an adult. This does not seem like the acts of a stranger.

I think so too! The step dad of Chris (a victim) had a knife found covered in blood (that matched both him but also his step sons blood type). He admitted to beating his step son. The only one of the 3 boy who was mutilated (with a knife) was his son. His son and his 2 friends probably trusted him (cause they knew him). His first wife called the police on for him for stunning her with a taser and beating her and her children- and she warned the authorities that she thought he was responsible for the boys' murders. His own parents called the police on him cause he threatened them with a butcher knife. His second wife (mom of the victim who stupidly thought he was innocent) died under mysterious circumstances (and the cause of death was "undetermined") and he didn't call 911.She had bruises on her arms and contusions on her head- one of the ways one of the boys was killed was from blunt force trauma to the head. But the boy who like liked emo music, horror books/film, had a goth look, and was wican was said to be the more likely suspect (despite no forensic evidence). Cause stupid-ass bible- belt thought the punk boys who liked emo music must have been part of a 'homosexual satanic cult' - no seriously that was what they thought .

I know they think there may have been several killers due to different knots being used but one person can easily do that. Also when it’s said that if there had only been one killer that the boys may have ran while one of the others was being tied up but if it was Hobbs for example the boys were only 8 and he could have made it out to be a game and gotten them all tied up then started attacking them xxxx

@@RachaelTownsend74 The 1 and only reason that Damien came up as a suspect was because Jerry Driver said "Looks like Damien finaly killed" Btw, Driver died in 2016, and he was in jail for stealing money. His buddy and juvenile probation officer, Steve Jones, was caught messing with a minor. What was Steve Jones doing at the crime scene?? He was the first one to find the shoe in that ditch. Driver and Jones had an agenda, which was to prove that there was a cult. They both were in those woods lots of times.

[@worldweeklynewz5818]

@schwoogie78 nope! They weren't. Buford. T. Justice had him some real guilty ones, some real bad seeds, I am sure he knew what he was doing coaching er questioning the mentally challenged one. I don't see that sheriff as the kind of guy that would promise someone that if they told the "truth" they could go home. I am certain that he was a good man a real stickler for the law. I don't understand how you plan to put someone to death and take away the lives of 2 more people over some "deception" on a polygraph and the word of someone who is probably not able to enter into contractual deals. I don't know if they are guilty or not but if the went down to where the bodies were found and left no sort of D.N.A. or bootprints or something and the only thing that is found is hair from someone who has not been given a polygraph. I find that pretty much a one in a million shot. The cops were shit the prosecutors were shit and they just didn't look like they had any business doing anything more than monitor main street for J walking. What a wonderful kind of screw up this was. That cop should have stepped back took a huge breath then called him some real cops. Barney Fife didn't think that maybe they had better look at the guy who was jealous of a little boy for getting more attention than him? And that's just the tip of Terry Hobbs issues. If they are guilty and they are free wow, then again if they're innocent and lost 30 years and got nothing? I am not sure if I would be able to make a life after all this. I wasn't 20 when I was falsely imprisoned and now I am free but at what cost? I'm approaching 50 and I have zero marketable skills. I am not saying that I would kill a kid, I am saying I am going to need some serious answers and the apologies I get better be some reinventing type joints. Make me BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE SORRY CAUSE HELL I JUST DID A 30 PIECE AND I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE HERE PAL.

[@yesididdietodaythankyoufor6252]

@Sara Reid My dad says the same thing

[@lorenagonzalez7984]

Exactly. Even if people will think you are guilty for asking for an attorney. Always ask for one. It’s always better to look bad and be free then be wrongfully accused without one and be in prison for a crime you didn’t commit.

[@Duskets]

@@lorenagonzalez7984 You'll never be admonished for demanding legal counsel. They may try and give you some bullshit, but the fact of the matter remains that seeking an attorney is never an admission of guilt, and any cop who tries to drag that line of reasoning will have it rebuked so far in court that recruits across the city will feel it.

[@mimiart6872]

I think they focused so much on the accused teenagers that they forgot about the murdered children, the culprit got away very easily, while everyone was wasting time accusing innocents.

[@calicocritterscrafts886]

Exactly. Just like the Meredith Kercher murder in Italy. Amanda Knox was what everyone else heard about. Italian police decided she did it and refused to collect any evidence that contradicted that belief. Subsequently, people forgot about the victim...

[@villi-villain]

I've done a lot of research on this case and if I had to bet my life on it, I would say that the WM3 are innocent. What are the chances none of the WM3 DNA would be at the scene at all had they done it? I think the reason why Damien was acting cocky when the trial was going on was because he had the ridiculous belief that they'll eventually see that they were not the ones that did this. He probably believed that they just wouldn't be half-assed and sentence the easiest target, which were the WM3. He didn't think that he'd be on death row for a crime he didn't commit. There's more evidence that Terry Hobbs was involved than the WM3, in my opinion, whether he did the murders himself or had help. Mr. Bojangles is another questionable suspect as well.

[@stephj7274]

Tatum Wilson-Montoya agreee!!! I thought at first it could've been Mark Byers because of his ridiculous and odd behavior. But after researching he seemed to be a upset, (out there) parent/step parent. I truly believe it was Terry Hobbs. I believe it was was someone they knew very well and trusted. I don't think a stranger could've convinced 3 kids to follow him/them into the woods. Why was Terry Hobbs DNA found in one of the bindings?! He failed multiple lie detector tests. It's so wrong the justice system covers their ass those three teenage boys now men spent their lives in prison and instead of the court to say "we messed up" "we're sorry" they give them a choice to admit to the crime and get out of prison. If they TRULY KILLED those 3 boys, the thought that they'd let them walk free is INSANE! Sad, they quit searching, and placed blame on easy targets In my opinion. Mr. Bojangles is just crazy, the blood in the bathroom and he's never been seen again?! I don't know if he participated or not.

[@sineadpereira8035]

Yeah the killer didn't do this alone

[@SkylerWhiteYoo]

Who's Mr.Bojangles ??

[@villi-villain]

Around the same time the murders would have happened, a man stumbled into a Bojangles restaurant that was near the crime scene with blood on him and went straight to the bathroom, leaving a lot of samples of the blood. An employee called the cops but the cop only went through the drive-thru to ask a question or two then left. The next day, the cops came back took samples of the blood but carelessly lost them before they could do any testing on it.

[@lestermcgee5122]

Damien Echols is a self-described psychopath. How strange that NONE of the three had a credible alibi during the times these murders were committed. How strange that all of the girls Damien deny that they talked to him. How strange that Jesse's confession included details that *were* correct and that his IQ test showed signs of malingering. Damien says he was speaking to lied about living 2 miles from the crime scene. He's a documented manipulative liar. Hobbs is a distasteful individual but nothing links him except a hair , I'm sure my hair ends up on my kids shoes at times since I live with them. Paradise Lost was utter bullshit, watching it isn't research and it seems like the only people who think they're innocent are people who've seen that ridiculous farce.

[@dakotarain7745]

Terry Hobbs is definitely the killer in my eyes, his DNA is literally at the crime scene, and non of the Memphis 3 had their DNA at the crime scene

[@adamtownsend9495]

The hair found at the crime scene is consistent with 10 % of the population. Terry Hobbs is in that 10%. Smoke & Mirrors courtesy of Hollywood Docos & the WM3 Defence team, you & many others have been lead down the garden path. Please read the Callahan files.

[@aprilwolflester732]

[@fiona_6714]

@Stanky Danky polygraphs are highly unreliable. Not saying I think they're innocent, because I don't know, but polygraphs aren't reliable enough to prove anything and false confessions happen ALL the time. When people are grilled like they were it's not uncommon for them to even create memories of things that never happened.

[@Jevon177]

@Stanky Danky Polygraph tests are absolute bull, barely anywhere on earth uses them as evidence when prosecuting someone, and those that do don't take it as Gospel. Also Terry Hobbs refuses to take a polygraph so if you are going to put stock in them, then if he's innocent why won't he take one? Police coercion is a hell of a thing, you can start to doubt yourself and may actually begin to believe that you are guilty. Just look at cases like the Reykjavik confessions. I don't really know who did it, but there should have been actual physical evidence before these three were sent to prison/death row.

[@Jevon177]

@Stanky Danky An Alford plea is not a guilty plea. It means that the defendants accept that the other side has evidence against them but still want to maintain their innocence. Also I haven't watched the documentary yet, so how have I been biased by it? I drew my own conclusions from reading the case files and various write ups of the case. If they are definitely guilty then why is there basically no forensic evidence? Why is the only evidence we have polygraph tests and 'confessions' from 3 teenagers one of which was certifiably mentally ill and another who has an IQ of 72. People confess to stuff that they didn't do all the time.

One day when the Swedish guy is at work, someone knocks at the door where he lives with his new gf and her kids, the mother opens the door and emidiately knocked out by this German woman, she tries to kill her with a hammer and succeeds to kill the kids with the hammer.
