In 1993, three eight-year-old boys (Steve Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers) are reported missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. Their bodies are found the following day. This case will go on to generate decades of widespread controversy, and will be subject of several documentaries beginning with HBO's 'Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills'. It will be known as the case of the 'West Memphis Three'.
