Grab your your old cassette tapes, and your deepest sense of injustice, because today we're getting a broader understanding of the 1993 West Memphis Murders and the three little boys who never made it home.On May 5th, 1993, three second graders- Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers left their homes in West Memphis, Arkansas for an ordinary bike ride. They were eight years old. They never came back.What happened that night would become one of the most infamous child murder cases in American history.In 1994, three teenagers- Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley would be convicted of those murders, in a trial driven by satanic panic, coerced confessions, and a complete collapse of justice.In 1996, HBO aired Paradise Lost and the world saw what had happened in that courtroom. Over the next twenty years, the West Memphis Three would fight for their freedom from behind bars. They'd get it eventually- kind of. But this case? It's not over.There's new evidence. There's new DNA. There's a chance to finally do what Arkansas never did: find out the truth.In part one of this series, we're not starting with suspects. We're starting with Stevie, Michael, and Chris-who they were, what they loved, and what was taken from them.Because before this became a media circus, before it became a cause, it was a tragedy.(originally released in May of 2023, full sources available in show notes)Sources:Jenkins, P (1992).

Originally released in January 2023, CW: SA, violenceOn June 23 1993, after enduring years of physical and emotional abuse, Lorena Bobbitt infamously cut off the p*nis of her sleeping husband, John Wayne Bobbit. The case instantly becomes content for the 24 news cycle and a joke for late night comedians but the backstory is much more sinister. In this episode, we will discuss how Lorena was a victim of domestic abuse during a time when there were no laws and few systems in place to protect or help women stuck in dangerous relationships.We will also examine the trials of John and Lorena, gender bias in the media and the court room, domestic violence and the difficulty of leaving abusive situations. Lastly, we'll go over why this story is still important to talk about thirty years later and ask whether there are more options now than there were then. Sources: Bell, Rachael.

On February 14th, 2000 nine year old Asha Degree packed a bag, left her home and was seen walking down the highway in Shelby, North Carolina. Few clues would emerge over the years- Asha's pencil, hair bow & a mysterious photo of a still unidentified girl. The next year her backpack was found buried in trash bags 30 miles from where she was last seen. For years there was no new information in the case until September 2024 when search warrants were released, suspects were named and confessions were alleged. Had a prominent Shelby family the Dedmonds been hiding the answers the whole time? DNA evidence, an old green car & texts between sisters may finally give us the answer of what happened when Asha Degree disappeared.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/broads-next-door--5803223/support.
