In this first episode of our three-part analysis of the West Memphis Three case, we look at the events of May 5, 1993. That afternoon, three 8-year-old boys, Michael Moore, Steve Branch, and Christopher Byers, went missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. The next day, they were found in a drainage ditch in an area known as Robin Hood Hills. They had been murdered.
We cover the timeline of their disappearance, the search efforts, and the discovery of their bodies. We also discuss our initial impressions of the crime scene and what it may reveal about the offender.
