West Memphis 3 Evidence Destroyed! Who’s the REAL Killer?

Three 8-year-old boys, Steve Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers, went missing one night in May 1993 in West Memphis. Police ultimately found their bodies in a creek near the Robin Hood Hills, the area where they were last seen. 3 teenagers were subsequently arrested and spent decades in jail, one on death row. Jessie Misskelley, Jr., Jason Baldwin, and Damien Echols were long thought to be the perpetrators due to a confession that has since been scrutinized for being coerced.This week, Chris recalls the details of this infamous case, including the evidence that eventually released the initial suspects, the confession that sealed these 3 suspects' fate, and other evidence that has been destroyed, potentially causing this case to forever be unsolved. Hear all the evidence and decide for yourself: Did the police get it right the first time or is the real killer still out there, potentially walking free for the rest of his life?Send your true crime suggestions to hello@truecrimerecaps!Support the show AND listen ad-free here!: https://truecrimerecaps.supercast.tech/Get 10% OFF your 1st month by going to Betterhelp.com/recapsBecome a detective today, all you have to do is download Small Town Murders FREE on the Apple App Store or Google Play!Follow TCR on YouTube here!Follow TCR on Instagram here!Follow TCR on Facebook here!
