After the bodies of three eight-year-old boys—Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—were discovered in a wooded area of West Memphis, Arkansas, in May 1993, police launched a high-profile investigation. The brutal nature of the crime led authorities to suspect it was connected to satanic ritual activity, a theory influenced by the ongoing “Satanic Panic” of the era. Attention soon focused on three local teenagers: Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. Echols, known for his interest in heavy metal music and occult topics, quickly became the prime suspect. Misskelley, who had intellectual disabilities, gave a confession after hours of police interrogation—though it was riddled with inconsistencies and did not match many of the crime scene details. Baldwin, a close friend of Echols, was implicated largely through association. Together, they became known as the “West Memphis Three,” the central figures in a controversial case that many believe was driven more by fear and prejudice than solid evidence.
