The West Memphis Three - Unraveling a Miscarriage of Justice

Ready for a deep dive into one of the most infamous and heartbreaking cases of wrongful accusation? This episode unpacks the story of the West Memphis Three—teenagers from West Memphis, Arkansas, who were wrongfully accused of killing three boys in a so-called ritualistic murder.

The Disappearance: 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. The Search: After 8 p.m., police, neighbors, and a search and rescue team scoured the area, focusing on the Robin Hood Hills where the kids were last seen. The Grim Discovery: 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. Another search led to the discovery of the three boys’ bodies, naked and hogtied with their own shoelaces.

This episode delves into the harrowing details of the case, the rush to judgment, and the subsequent fight for justice. We’ll discuss the evidence (or lack thereof) and the lasting impact on the lives of the wrongfully accused.
