For a young geologist with the right skills and the right tools, 1970s Wyoming was a place of opportunity. The oil crisis of 1973 had sent shock-waves through the American economy and suddenly, the vast mineral deposits beneath the west's plains and hills were incredibly valuable.

In May of 1976, a twenty-five-year-old...

"As we face this shock... there's something that rises up and says it can't be, it shouldn't have happened."

West Memphis, Arkansas was, in a lot of ways, the kind of American small town that people often romanticize.
