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).

Too much phosphorus can quietly wreak havoc on the body, but when and how should we intervene? In this episode of Clinician's Brief Partner Podcast, Dr. Beth sits down with Christopher Byers, DVM, DACVECC, CVJ, to explore hyperphosphatemia, including why it occurs, how it impacts the kidneys, and what to do about it. They discuss practical guidance for managing and monitoring these patients in practice, from nutritional strategies to phosphate binders.Sponsored by DechraContact us:Podcast@instinct.vetWhere to find us:Cliniciansbrief.com/podcastsFacebook.com/clinciansbriefTwitter: @cliniciansbriefInstagram: @clinicians.briefThe Team:Beth Molleson, DVM - HostTaylor Argo - Producer, Sound Editing & Project Manager, Brief Studio

In this episode of The Guilty Files Uncovered, Brian steps into dangerous territory — the West Memphis Three. But this isn't your typical Uncovered case. Here, the facts tell one story, but the deeper truth refuses to stay quiet.In 1993, three young boys — Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers — were found brutally murdered in a muddy ditch in West Memphis, Arkansas. It was a crime that stunned the town and shocked the nation. Within weeks, three teenagers — Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley — were arrested. They were different. They listened to heavy metal. They wore black. In the eyes of a panicked public, they fit the picture of evil.But what happens when fear outweighs evidence? When a confession is pulled from a vulnerable kid under hours of pressure? When juries are fed stories of Satanism instead of proof?Brian usually sticks to the cold, hard facts. But the West Memphis Three isn't just about facts — it's about the cracks in the system, the human cost of rushed judgment, and the haunting possibility that the real perpetrator, or perpetrators, are still out there.The three young men were eventually freed after spending nearly two decades behind bars — not exonerated by a clear confession or DNA match, but released through a complicated legal deal that left as many questions as answers.This case doesn't offer the neat closure we're used to. It challenges us to look past what we think we know and ask harder questions: Who failed? Who lied? And who's still getting away with it?Brian pulls back the curtain — no spin, no sugarcoating — to show how sometimes, getting to the truth means admitting how little we really know. The West Memphis Three. One of America's most haunting miscarriages of justice. Only on The Guilty Files.

#243: Nur wenige Kilometer von der Metropole Memphis entfernt liegt der unscheinbare Vorort West Memphis – ein Ort, wie es ihn in den USA tausendfach gibt: geprägt von staubigen Straßen, der Arbeiterklasse und Trailerparks. Doch in den 1990er-Jahren erlangt dieser gewöhnliche Vorort weltweit traurige Berühmtheit. Am 5. Mai 1993 verschwinden drei Jungen. Kurze Zeit später werden die Leichen von Stevie Branch, Michael Moore und Christopher Byers in einem nahegelegenen Waldstück gefunden – nackt, gefesselt und verstümmelt. Die Polizei hat schnell einen Verdächtigen im Visier: Damien Echols, ein Außenseiter, der sich schwarz kleidet, Heavy Metal hört und dem nachgesagt wird, den Teufel anzubeten. Zusammen mit seinen Freunden Jason Baldwin und Jessie Misskelley wird er verhaftet. Die sogenannten „West Memphis Three“ sollen die Morde angeblich im Rahmen eines satanistischen Rituals begangen haben – ein Verdacht, für den es keinerlei Beweise gibt. Dies ist die zweite Folge zum Fall der West Memphis Three. Wenn dir der Name Damien Echols nichts sagt, hör dir zuerst die letzte Folge „Im Todestrakt“ an. In dieser Folge sprechen wir darüber, welche Rolle die damals weitverbreitete „Satanic Panic“ in diesem Fall spielte. Wir beleuchten die Tragödie der drei Jugendlichen, die fehlerhaften Ermittlungen und die Hexenjagd, die sie zu Sündenböcken machte. Und die Frage, die vielleicht für immer unbeantwortet bleibt: Was geschah wirklich in West Memphis?

Is anybody really safe? You see the storyline in every form of entertainment, "Arrested for a crime they didn't commit", but what if it wasn't just a storyline? For Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley it's the story of their lives. The West Memphis Three, as they have come to be known, were convicted of the murders of three 8-year-old boys who were killed on May 5th, 1993. Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch were found in a creek the next day, and one thing was on everyone's minds. Satanic Panic. Beliefs of the boys being sacrificed to Satan led investigators to accused Satanist, Damien Echols. The only problem was Damien wasn't a Satanist. That didn't stop the Arkansas justice system from sentencing him to death, Jason to Life imprisonment, and Jessie to Life+ for a crime they didn't commit.

Episode 105 “Exonerate the West Memphis 3” - An Interview with Dan Stidham, Defense Attorney and co-author of A Harvest of Innocence: The True Story of the West Memphis Murder Case Part 4: In a heartfelt interview, author Dan Stidham and Jill discuss the inside story of defending the West Memphis Three's Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin as a young, inexperienced attorney, caught up in mass hysteria.  The malignant prosecution that conspired with a biased judge to convict three innocent teenagers for the 3 horrendous murders of 8-year-old boys, left a killer loose in Arkansas. Threatened, attacked, treated as a pariah, Dan suffers from PTSD, even as he receives new tips and information to this day.  With Misskelley and Baldwin out of prison (along with Echols), today Dan pursues the exoneration of the West Memphis Three, and—long overdue justice for the victims, Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers, who's killer has never been identified-- but Dan and Jill both have theories on WHO committed these gruesome murders!.   Buy A Harvest of Innocence by Dan Stidham & Tom McCarthy on Amazon- (highly recommended!  Sources, photographs, recipes and drink information can be found on Jill's blog at www.murdershelfbookclub.com – Oct 2024.

On the evening of May 5, 1993, three eight-year-old boys—Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—went missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. The next day, in a nearby wooded area, the boys were found brutally murdered, bound, and submerged in a drainage ditch. The horrific nature of the crime shocked the community, and police quickly arrested three local teenagers—Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley—based on a coerced false confession, no solid evidence, and Satanic panic.This is the story of three innocent children whose lives were stolen in an unspeakable act of violence. It's also the story of three wrongfully convicted teenagers who spent 18 years in prison, one of them on death row, for a crime they didn't commit—the victims of a flawed justice system and a community in the grip of fear.In today's episode, I'm honored to discuss a case that has gripped me for many years with the one man who has been involved since the beginning: Jessie Misskelley's original defense attorney, case advocate, and author of the recent book, A Harvest of Innocence: Judge Dan Stidham.This is our discussion about his book and the tragic case of the West Memphis Three.A Harvest of Innocence by Dan Stidham on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Harvest-Innocence-Untold-Memphis-Murder/dp/B0CMYZ2BT7 Judge Stidham's website: https://www.danstidham.com Email Judge Stidham with information about the case: harvestofinnocence@outlook.comTruth & Justice with Bob Ruff podcast: https://www.truthandjusticepod.com Paradise Lost documentary series: https://www.max.com/shows/paradise-lost/d509d74f-3c01-4367-9a42-a3aece5de4c9 The Forgotten West Memphis Three docuseries: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12092348/ West of Memphis documentary: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2130321/ Photos related to today's episode can be viewed on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpod You can also follow the podcast on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sufferthelittlechildrenpodTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/STLCpodTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@STLCpodMy Linktree is available here: https://linktr.ee/stlcpod Visit the podcast's web page at https://www.sufferthelittlechildrenpod.com. By supporting me on Patreon, you'll also access rewards, including a shout-out by name on the podcast and exclusive rewards.

The first installment of our 3 parter on the West Memphis Three. In this episode, we dive deep into the tragic murders of three young boys – Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore. These murders shook the tight-knit community of West Memphis, Arkansas to its core. As details emerged, whispers of a Satanic cult swirled around town. The scene of the crime seemed to bear the marks of a ritualistic killing, leaving residents terrified and searching for answers. Enter 18-year-old Damien Echolls. Law enforcement quickly became convinced that he was behind these murders, but it wasn't a thorough investigation or good old fashioned police work that brought them to that conclusion.

In Arkansas, some people think that a slew of child deaths in the early 1990s are related. Those children are Christina Pipkin, who went missing in May of 1991, Steve Branch, Michael Moore, Christopher Byers, the three eight-year-old boys who were murdered in West Memphis in 1993, and also includes 16-year-old Gardenia Cross Jones and 13-year-old Geneva Smith, whose bodies were both found near Wynne, Arkansas just a few miles from Hickory Ridge shortly after they went missing. After Catherine's investigation into these deaths for a few months, there haven't been any obvious connections among the children in east Arkansas. But there are a lot of weird coincidences in these cases. In three of the four cases, suspects were arrested and ultimately released. All of them were found in or near bodies of water. And all of them are unsolved.  If you have a case you'd like Catherine to look into, you can reach out to the Hell and Gone Murder Line at 678-744-6145. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jennifer Carlson returns to the podcast to discuss The West Memphis Three's long history with DNA testing. Starting in 1993, the convicted killers of Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers have fought to prove their innocence with DNA. After pleading guilty in 2011 via an Alford plea, the killers closed the case. Today, they are fighting to test the evidence for DNA. What is this DNA testing all about and what is the WM3's ultimate aim?Thank you, Patrons! Laura, Pavla Reznicek, Lorraine Reid, Sandra Guse Van Zeeland, Isa, Krissy G927, Michelle B, T.

Summer vacation is over!! And we're coming at you with a huge one. Madison delves into a three part series on the West Memphis Three. In 1993 three boys, Christopher Byers, Stevie Branch, and Michael Moore, were found murdered in the woods. What happens after that can only be described as a modern day witch hunt. Part one will focus on the crime and the investigation that led them to the West Memphis three. Part two will be all about the trial, and part three will be a wrap up on everything after.

O eso creemos. Hoy, quiero ofreceros un programa especial para mecenas, un caso del que muchos seréis conocedores, por haber visto la película, sin saber que está basada en un hecho real. Otros, tal vez, no hayáis escuchado esta historia, espeluznante, por los hechos acaecidos, injusta por el desenlace y dramática, en su conjunto. Se conoce como los tres chicos de West Memphis. Comenzando con un terrible suceso, seguido por un sinsentido en todo lo que rodea la historia. Me quiero enfocar, en como una sociedad entera actuó, buscando justicia, encontrando, venganza, pero de un modo, injusto y desafortunado. Ocurrió en West Memphis, Arkansas, Estados Unidos, en el año 1993. Con la llegada del Rock más potente, algunos personajes se escudaron en él para hacer el mal y comenzar así lo que se llamó… Pánico Satánico. Solo hay que recordar a Charles Manson y a la familia, cuando asesinan a la actriz Sharon Tate, esposa de Roman Polanski, y a todos los que se encontraban en una fiesta. Fue tal vez, la primera vez que la prensa hablaba de crimen ritual, señalándolos como devotos de Satán. En el siglo pasado, en Estados Unidos se denunciaron más de 12.000 abusos sexuales, en rituales satánicos. Tres niños de ocho años de edad, Steve Branch, Michael Moore y Christopher Byers, cogen sus bicicletas para salir a dar una vuelta por el vecindario. No lejos de casa, hay una zona verde, salvaje, un pequeño bosque al que llamaban, Robin Hood Hills. Tal vez, estén allí, porque pasaran algún tiempo, antes de volver a ser vistos. Se señala como los autores de la desaparición de los pequeños a un chico de 18 años, Damien Wayne Echols, a otro de 16 Jason Baldwin y por último, a Jessie Miskelley Jr de 17 años. Cadena perpetua y pena de muerte… pero pasados 18 años de cárcel, todo dará un giro sorprendente. Y es entonces, cuando la sociedad americana, en especial personajes famosos, comienzan una campaña para que sean liberados. Personajes como Peter Jackson, director entre otras, de las películas del Señor de los Anillos, la banda de Trash Metal, METALLICA, Henry Rollins, cantante del grupo DISTURBED, Eddie Veder, de PEARL JAM, La banda de chicas de Country Pop, DIXIE CHICKS liderada por Natalie Maines, el actor Johnny Depp o la humorista Margaret Cho.

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.For show notes go to www.nvusalien.com

Episode 25 The West Memphis ThreeIn this episode, the team is joined by Bob Ruff of the Truth and Justice Podcast to explore one of the biggest unsolved cases in the true crime world; The West Memphis Three.On May 5, 1993, Eight year olds Christopher Byers, Michael Moore, and Stevie Branch went out on their bikes in West Memphis, Arkansas, and didn't come home. A search led to the discovery of their bodies in a creek area known as Robin Hood Hills. All 3 had been murdered; the victims of blunt force trauma, and drowning. They were nude, and bound, and it appeared to investigators that at least one of them had been mutilated. In an era of 'Satanic Panic', police quickly focused their attention on 3 local young men, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. They apparently were suspected because of their goth like appearance, and because they believed that that at least one of them, Damien Echols, was a Satanist. With no physical evidence connecting any of the 3 men to the crimes, it was a false confession, and lying witnesses that led to them being convicted for the murders. The 3 men served 18 years in prison before being released after the trio signed Alford Pleas in which they maintained their innocence but acknowledged that prosecutors have evidence to convict them. As part of a plea deal, they were given time served as their sentences.Now that the 3 are out of prison, they maintain their innocence, and want their names cleared once and for all, and for the real killer to be brought to justice. They have pushed to have physical evidence in the case tested for DNA that might clear them, but the state has refused to allow that to happen.30 years later, the case remains at a stand still. Did the police arrest the right men, or did the real killer get away with the brutal murders of 3 little boys? In this episode, the team sifts thru the details and evidence in the case, to figure out what happened, and who might be responsible. Bob Ruff worked on the documentary The Forgotten West Memphis Three that focuses on this case, and he shared his expertise and insights with the team.To find out how to join us live as we record each new episode of Citizen Detective, follow us on Social Media.Twitter- https://twitter.com/CitizenDPodFacebook Home Page- https://www.facebook.com/CitizenDetectivePodcastFacebook Discussion group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/233261280919915Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/citizendpod/?hl=enYoutube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSgvqIuf4-sEF2aDdNGip2wVisit our homepage: Citizendetectivepodcast.comTo support this podcast on Patreon and gain access to ad-free episodes, bonus content, and our after-show 'The Scrum' visit Patreon.com/CitizenDetective Continue the conversation about this case with fellow Citizen Detectives over at Websleuths: https://www.websleuths.com/forums/forums/citizen-detective-true-crime-podcast.719/The Citizen Detective team includes:Co-Hosts- Mike Morford, Alex Ralph, and Dr. Lee MellorWriting and Research- Alex RalphTechnical Producer- Andrew GrayProduction Assistant- Ashley MonroeSuzanna Ryan- DNA ExpertCloyd Steiger- Retired Seattle PD Homicide DetectiveThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4610024/advertisement

On May 5th, 1993 Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers went out for a bike ride and never came home.In 1994 three teenagers, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were convicted of the crimes. The case gathered widespread media attention which was only amplified by the 1996 release of HBO's Paradise Lost. For nearly two decades “The West Memphis Three,” fought for their innocence eventually entering an Alford plea that led to their release in 2011. With new evidence and technology, thirty years later this is a case that may finally be solved.In part one of this series we're going to look at things the way they initially seemed and try and get to know Stevie, Michael and Chris while we try and gain a broader understanding of the murders that happened on May 5th, 1993 in West Memphis, Arkansas, and why things aren't always what they seem to be.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5803223/advertisement

West Memphis, Arkansas is located in Crittenden County and is directly across the Mississippi River from Memphis Tennessee, but in 1993, West Memphis and Memphis were worlds apart. Memphis boasted a healthy and growing population of over 620 thousand, while West Memphis had just over 28 thousand residents. But Memphis, TN struggled with high crime rates, with 1993 setting a record for the most homicides in one year, a record that wasn't broken until 2016. West Memphis Arkansas had a more small town, laid back feel, and as cliche as it sounds, people felt safe leaving their doors unlocked and letting their young children play outside all day with no supervision. That was until May 5th, 1993, when three eight year old boys rode away on their bikes, eager to expel the energy they had built up all day while sitting in their second grade classrooms at Weaver Elementary School, but they never came home. It wouldn't be long before the residents of West Memphis and then the world found out what happened to Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers. Their battered and mutilated bodies were found the next day in a swampy wooded area known to locals as Robin Hood Hills, and the community of West Memphis felt a shockwave hit their community that they would not recover from for some time. Within a month three teenagers were arrested and charged with capital murder, and it wasn't long before whispers of witchcraft, devil worship and occult killings rippled throught the homes and businesses of West Memphis, and those whispers eventually turned into a loud roar, a roar that might accompany an angry mob looking for someone to blame for an unimaginable tragedy, akin to the infamous witch hunts that are dotted throughout history. This is the story of six boys from West Memphis, Arkansas; three were brutally murdered and stolen from this world far before their time, the other three were marched to the proverbial gallows, guilty in the court of public opinion, and found guilty in an actual court of law. Six lives destroyed, six lives forever changed, six lives eternally tied together.

A Colorado Dentist charged with murder, accused of poisoning his wife, mother of their 6 children. Police say James Craig bought arsenic and cyanid, and secretly poisoned his wife's protein shakes. Angela Craig had made many recent hospital visits,  and checked into a hospital again,  complaining of a severe headache and dizziness. Around 2pm she had a seizure. Craig was then moved to ICU and placed on life support. Her condition quickly declined and she died.  After Craig's death, one of James Craig's co-workers told a nurse that the dentist had ordered potassium cyanide which was delivered to the office. There was no medical reason for the order. Police seized the husband's computer and found disturbing searches. It also came to light that James Craig had multiple affairs and a longstanding addiction to pornography, authorities said.

Their battered and mutilated bodies were found the next day in a swampy wooded area known to locals as Robin Hood Hills, and the community of West Memphis felt a shockwave hit their community that they would not recover from for some time. Within a month three teenagers were arrested and charged with capital murder, and it wasn't long before whispers of witchcraft, devil worship and occult killings rippled throught the homes and businesses of West Memphis, and those whispers eventually turned into a loud roar, a roar that might accompany an angry mob looking for someone to blame for an unimaginable tragedy, akin to the infamous witch hunts that are dotted throughout history. This is the story of six boys from West Memphis, Arkansas; three were brutally murdered and stolen from this world far before their time, the other three were marched to the proverbial gallows, guilty in the court of public opinion, and found guilty in an actual court of law. Six lives destroyed, six lives forever changed, six lives eternally tied together.

West Memphis, Arkansas is located in Crittenden County and is directly across the Mississippi River from Memphis Tennessee, but in 1993, West Memphis and Memphis were worlds apart. Memphis boasted a healthy and growing population of over 620 thousand, while West Memphis had just over 28 thousand residents. But Memphis, TN struggled with high crime rates, with 1993 setting a record for the most homicides in one year, a record that wasn't broken until 2016. West Memphis Arkansas had a more small town, laid back feel, and as cliche as it sounds, people felt safe leaving their doors unlocked and letting their young children play outside all day with no supervision. That was until May 5th, 1993, when three eight year old boys rode away on their bikes, eager to expel the energy they had built up all day while sitting in their second grade classrooms at Weaver Elementary School, but they never came home.
