The Strange Case of the West Memphis Three

The West Memphis Three were three teenagers from West Memphis, Arkansas who were wrongfully accused of killing three boys in an alleged and completely unsubstantiated ritual. On May 5, 1993, Michael Moore, Steve Branch and Christopher Byers were reported missing around 7 p.m. by John Mark Byers, the adoptive father of one of the children. After 8 p.m. the police, neighbors and a search and rescue team canvased the area focusing on the Robin Hood Hills area where the kids were last seen. The next day, around 1:45 p.m., Parole Officer Steve Jones spotted a black shoe floating in a muddy creek in Robin Hood Hills. With another search, they found the three boys’ bodies naked and hogtied with their own shoelaces.
