However, there is no mention of animal prints at the scene, as far as I know, nor car tracks found in the field next to those woods. This is so hugely significant and yet lost on so many. He has dead eyes. I hear you. In addition to that, when the boys autopsies were performed, animal hair was discovered on them. My feeling is that LG, thinking of a close and safe spot where he could go, would have asked Terry to drop him off at the Laundromat, less than a mile away from Terrys house. AARON: IT WAS, WHEN EVER WE GOT OUT OF SCHOOL WE WENT THERE ABOUT FOUR, AARON: AND THEY NEVER GOT THERE BEFORE WE DID. ( source) One of the most significant pieces of evidence to support this allegation comes from the medical examiner who did Stevies autopsy. Their affidavits can be read here and here. This is just more evidence to support the statements from Stevies family that he was being abused by Terry.). He was still wearing the same shirt and tie when he was spotted at approx. One mystery that has plagued people who have followed the case, is why it appeared that Stevie and Chris were tortured while Michael was not. In 2011, after 18 years in prison, the three innocent men were released on an Alford Plea. [2] Judge Brian S. Miller dismissed the case and subsequently ordered Hobbs to pay legal fees incurred by the singer in the amount of $17,590. Sometime around 2pm the day of the 6th, Stevie, Michael and Chris were found murdered in a drainage ditch filled with water in the Blue Beacon Woods. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Based on the reports made available to the public pertaining to Damien's mental health issues, this is a flat out lie. This is all supported by Mark Byers testimony. This lends credibilty to the theory that Stevie did in fact go home, and even ate some dinner. Terry and David are not the only ones with suspicions and allegations of homosexuality surrounding them, though. As he tied up Michael, he further demonstrated to them how to tie up the others in the same consistent manner. It is my opinion that the answers to many of the questions of what happened that night, will be answered here. The new documents. Doesn't make sense how they disappeared, then got back in there without a soul seeing them. Right as this happened, Terry, who was their neighbor, called to Stevie to come home. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. Stevens mother, Pamela Hobbs, worked a shift at the Catfish Island restaurant the day her son vanished. (source) Additionally, a roommate of Richards also testified that LG was not at their home on the 5th but that he remembered LGs mother calling looking for him. And, is it just a coincidence that LG and Terry were unaccounted for that night and then, strangely, they both made public appearance right at 9:00 pm at night? Lastly, Stevie branch apparently told his cousin that Terry was molesting him and Amanda. the tying up is part of what frames this as a punishment that crossed the line. I believe I ask where Steve was ask. Hobbs may be awful, but nothing accounts for the beating and drowning that took place. Michael was later stripped, perhaps so he would not stand out. If the theory of Terry and David leaving West Memphis and heading to Lakeshore trailer park at 5:45 is true, then Terry and David could have theoretically ran into Buddy Lucas and LG Hollingsworth sometime around 6pm, since both LG and Buddy were last seen at Lakeshore that afternoon. Allegedly, David Jacoby fell in his effort to catch the third child and in doing so, scraped his knee. The kind of men who do these things are, uh. They had contusions, which are bruises, which had to have happened before death, on their ears, under eyes, over eyes, on forehead, etc. Why was Terry 18 minutes late picking Pam up? In part, I blame paradise lost for the graphic images. Additionally, there is an ample amount of evidence, in my opinion, that Terry might have sexually abused all of his children. Unfortunately, the police had such tunnel vision about the reason why they believe the murders had occurred and who they believed the perpetrators were, that they basically ignored what Aarons statements really revealed; they unwittingly lead Aaron away from helping them find the true killers. Whats more suspicious, is that Buddy originally told police that he was with his family barbecuing on the 5th but when his mother spoke to Fogelman, she never mentions anything about Buddy being home with her that night. One thing that was agreed upon if you read between the lines, is that Chris was dead before he was put in the water. On the north side of the pipe bridge, very close to the Blue Beacon woods, a woman on the service road saw the three boys riding their bicycles at approx. WHAT I THINK HAPPENED TO THEM. AH I SAID ARRON YOU KNOW THAT THEY TOOK THEIR CLOTHES OFF WHY DIDNT YOU LEAVE? DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CLUB HOUSE WAS? And even if he did work the day of the 5th, its the late afternoon/night that is important. golden age crime fiction conventions . There was evidence to suggest that Aaron was telling the truth about the clubhouse because wooden planks were in fact found and collected by police. I have recently taken a huge interest in this case, and found that there is misinformation literally everywhere. RIDGE: OKAY, DID YOU SEE THEM THE DAY BEFORE THEY GOT KILLED ? Apparently, LG walked in and asked for his cousin Dominis telephone number. In recent years its been discovered that someones DNA was on Stevies penis. If the cop is a nobody, it's marginally tougher, but still doable. Why else would *Chris* have patterned bruises on his thighs(could be finger marks)? But again, why would turtles only be drawn to the left side of Stevies face and none of the other boys faces? VICKIE: ARRON TOLD ME THAT UM HE AND MICHAEL AND CHRIS VISITED THEIR CLUB HOUSE EVERYDAY AND THEY ROAD THEIR BIKES AND THEY WERE SPYING ON 5 MEN AND AH I ASKED HIM WHO THEY WERE AND HE SAID I DONT KNOW MOM WHO THEY WERE I JUST YOU KNOW WE JUST SPYING ON EM I SAID WHY WOULD YOU BE SPYING ON 5 MEN YOU KNOW AND HE SAID WELL THEY WERE THERE EVERYDAY SO WE WOULD WATCH THEM. Ive thought about this in length and I think I understand what may have occurred. In both Billy and Bennies statements, i.e. The nudity and tying is what makes it even more sick than just bashing their heads in. Terry is an absolute sadist, psychopath and was never properly investigated, and I know The Hobbs Family Secret is true, possibly The Puzzle. Police suspected the murders of Michael Moore, Christopher Byers and Steve Branch, all second-graders, were the work of a satanic cult. The removal of the clothes was a very significant act. He admits that they would go to the woods and hide either behind a tree or in their clubhouse, wait for a group of men to arrive, and then spy on them. If the bikes had been found immediately, then the focus would have very quickly zeroed in on the people who were last with the victims. VICKIE: SO THEN UM, II JUST GOT AARON OUT OF THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW. RIDGE: OKAY, WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO THEM? The men most likely entered the Blue Beacon Woods from the field that was located to the east of the woods. Due to this error in the judgement by police, the information revealed by Aaron has been largely ignored through the years. The fact that the knots were not all the same, indicates as well that Terry was not the only person to tie up these children. They had been stripped naked, hogtied and beaten. Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that anyone other than Terry Hobbs and David Jacoby committed this crime and Ill briefly explain why. Why was he lying? Why would he ask Terry where Stevie was if he literally had seen Stevie riding in the street with his friends a few minutes prior? In the autopsy reports, it, As noted earlier, the autopsies revealed that Michael was quickly incapacitated with a few defensive wounds to the hands, which implied to the Medical Examiner that Michael. I believe that David did ask Terry where Stevie was when Terry showed up at 5:30 and that Terry told him the truth: Stevie was riding his bike and would be back by dark (8pm). It remains unsolved in the minds of those who feel the West Memphis Three defendants are innocent. If Stevie had disobeyed and never returned home or even waited a full two hours before doing so, he would have lost his bicycle privleges for two weeks, and probably would have gotten a pretty severe whipping from Terry. The act of tying up three unconscious boys who were near death at this point, was clearly an unnecessary act. Would project a macho, heterosexual, in-control image. That means that they may have punched Stevie, but may not have taken it farther than that. If the boys had their bicycles with them, which I believe is very likely, that means Stevie and Michael would have been quickly caught whereas Chris, who had no bicycle to push, would have gotten caught a bit farther away. Hobbs is . Also, although this may seem insignificant, Anthony Hollingsworth, LGs cousin, made a statement in May of 1993 that LG acts like he is gay. For one, LGs other aunt saw him at her work at approx. [1]. I really wonder if Aaron did see something, at a previous date. Also, Chris and Michael told Aaron never to tell Stevie. Stevie Branch was also tied with a less common and more complicated knot on one side, a Figure Eight Knot. LITTLE ROCK The defense team for the West Memphis Three says it's has new evidence against the step father for one of the three victims, Terry Hobbs. 3:15 Michael Moore shows up and asks if he and Stevie can ride bikes together. Allegedly, Terry Hobbs told the boys he was going to teach them a lesson. After all, it's the south. My belief is that these items were used in the clean up. He believed that the men, this time, saw the boys spying and killed them. At this time, I was afraid that Terry would rape, harm or even kill me. I feel the reason for this was because Bennie knew no one would listen to him as long as someone else was locked up for the crime. Additionally, Stevie, by both Pam and Terrys accounts was a well behaved boy who did not disobey. I personally could argue that the three are guilty based on the research I've done, but I could also argue that Terry Hobbs is. Maybe because sheknewLG was involved and he told her that Damien did it. Flashback to 1993, 4 months after the murders, Pam said that Terry told her he didn't get mad, he got even. If we have actualevidencethat the attacker did in fact bite Stevie in the face, then it is not a stretch of the imagination to think that the same attacker would also bite another child during the attack. My question is this: If you are of the opinion that the WM3 are guilty, how can you be sure? Terry Hobbs was a violent man, this is proven and well documented, and the way Douglass pictures it, he likely wanted to punish or humiliate one or all of the boys and it went too far, leading him to murder them so they wouldn't be able to tell anyone. AARON: I THINK THEY WAS WATCHING THEM MEN LIKE LIKE WE ALWAYS DID, AND THEY THEY GOT CAUGHT, AND THEN THEY NEVER TOLD THE MEN, AND THE MEN SORTA KILLED THEM. DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CLUB HOUSE WAS? RIDGE: HAVE YOU BEEN THERE BEFORE? SIDEWAYS AND WE GOT IN OUR CLUB HOUSERIDGE: OKAYRIDGE: OKAY. Really?? Also, by looking at the photo of the ditch where the boys were found, you can begin to have an understanding of what might have occurred. They then went and dumped the boys bicycles into the bayou, cleaned up the area and left by dark. Within a week of that delivery, I also delivered marijuana, cocaine, and crystal meth to Mr. Hobbs in Memphis, Tennessee, on Madison Avenue at a gay bar called J-Wags. ! Retired FBI profiler, John Douglas, as well as profiler Brent Turvey both believed the entire attack was punitive in nature and that the perpetrator was teaching the boys a lesson for either a real or percieved transgression. ALRIGHT DID CHRIS AND MICHAEL DID THEY TELL YOU THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD GOT CAUGHT. May 1993. Neither Chris nor Michael had any facial injuries even remotely close to what Stevie had on his face. AARON: IT WAS RIGHT BESIDE OUR UM, TREE HOUSE. That could be why Stevie had wounds to the face, while the other boys had wounds to their head. They would watch the men as they smoked marijuana and engaged in sexual activity. I just can't get it out of my head. In my opinion, it shows that this theory is actually exactly what happened. Terry Hobbs was basically unaccounted for from 5pm to approx. Also, according to LGs aunt, Dixie, LGs mother, Linda, came to her work the next day asking where he had been the night before. 92.According to L.G., Mr. Hobbs snapped and hit the boy with severe force in the head two or three times. When he was finished with that, I believe he then turned to Stevie. Jared: When they [the police] met you at the restaurant, was it just closer to meet you there as opposed to going to the neighborhood?, Hobbs: Thats where we called them from, so we knew they would be coming up somewhere near there.. After 18 months Echols was informed that the evidence was likely not available, but after a state court order, Echols team was invited to the West Memphis Police Department to review what evidence remained. SO THIS FRIGHTENED ME, SO I GOT AARON OUT OF THERE AND WE WENT HOME. When Hobbs finally contacted the police, he did so from a payphone, even though the boy hadnt returned home at 4 p.m. as instructed, and neither had Christopher or Michael. RIDGE: OKAY. Catch them! When the teens brought the boys back, one of them kicked Hobbs which sent him into a rage. For more information, please see our And the 90s. RIDGE OKAY, WHEN HE LEFT DID HE TELL SOMEBODY WHERE HE WAS GOING? I learned from Roy Taylor that Mr. Hobbs was bisexual. At first she claimed that this happened at 4:30 and at the murder trials, she claimed it was sometime after 5pm. Upon the delivery, I saw Mr. Hobbs holding hands with the same man who he was at my house with on May 5, 1993. I still think about it regularly. If we want to understand why those boys might have gotten killed in those woods we need not look further than Aarons own statements made to police shortly after the murders. THAT THE FIVE MAN MAY HAVE CAUGHT THEM? He claimed that along with his cousin Rex Heath, he gave Jessies dad the barbecued chicken and went home. Additionally, Stevie had what appeared to be bruises on the back of his head. RIDGE: ONE TIME, WERE THEY, WERE YOU ALL WATCHING THE FIVE MEN DOWN THERE THAT TIME WHEN HE WENT WITH YOU? I believe he wanted to punish them because he faultedthemfor spying. Pinterest. AND THAT WHITE TANK TOP MAN. According to Pam Hicks, Terry was wearing shorts that afternoon. It has baffled people for years because there was no evidence that the boys were sexually assaulted. HE SAID NO, THERE, YOU KNOW YOU CAN TELL WHEN YOUR CHILD IS LYING AND IT WAS LIKE HE KNEW SOMETHING WAS UP. This not only puts Buddy in Lakeshore at the possible time that Terry Hobbs and David Jacoby could have shown up, but it shows that his whereabouts were unknown at the time the murder occurred. Terry told me at that time (sometime after 9:00 p.m.), that he had called the police to report that Stevie was missing. Just finished the trilogy and West of Memphis and I noticed something that made THE lightbulb off about him. And, allegedly, David was the one who caught Christopher, so I believe the first person who was attacked was Michael. I think David Jacoby made a mistake/ a slip when he claimed that he saw the three boys, two on bicycles and one on a skateboard on the street when Terry showed up. RIDGE: ABOUT TIME WAS IT YOU WENT TO TRY AND GO TO THE CLUB HOUSE? And uh Steve was suppose to come by (not audible) before dark I thank it was bout yeah it was bout this time a year it git dark around 8 oclock or so, and he said he told em to be back before dark. Several years back there was a rumor that one of TH nephews said he was in a room with TH, DJ and some others as they smoked weed and did some things to each other sexually. Its important to note that the details of Aarons interview were not open to the public until 2006. Listening now! 6 Q. Once Stevie and Chris were naked, both Bennie and Billy claim that Terry approached the boy David had been hitting, told someone to hold his legs and began to bite his scrotum repeatedly and stab at his groin. The reason why Chriss skin was removed but his penis remained, i.e. He was home during the evenings when his wife worked a four-hour shift at Catfish Island. If LG had been dropped off at home at 4:30, surely he would have changed out of his shirt and tie by 9pm. Ive been trying to bridge what Peretti said happened with what the defense experts said. i.e: wrestle. This is supported by evidence as well. Terrys own daughter allegedly told family members, including her mother, grandmother, cousin and aunt that she had been abused by her dad and two family members even claimed to have walked in on Terry abusing his daughter. YOUVE SEEN THE CLUB HOUSEVICKIE: UH-HUH (YES) I HAVE SEEN IT SEVERAL TIMESRIDGE: ALRIGHT, AND HES BEEN FOUND THERE BY YOU SEVERAL TIMES? He flipped flopped between being at home with his mother and being at his friend Richards house from 5:30-9pm.

I allege that Terry tied up one side of Stevie and then told either Buddy or LG to finish doing the other side. And, allegedly, David was the one who caught Christopher, so I believe the first person who was attacked was Michael. If he was correct about the drug dealer, he could have correct about the other allegations. However, like I said, he makes what I think is a pretty good case for Hobbs' guilt, too. Either way, either one or two of the perpetrators decided it was necessary to actually get into the water to submerge the boys. As CrimeOnline previously reported, Damien Echols, along with friends Jason Baldwin and Jesse Misskelly, were convicted of murder in 1994, in connection with the murders of Chris Byers, Michael Moore, and Steven.

My theory is that when Stevie saw Terry there, he was scared, very scared. 5 A. I believe he intended to terrify and threaten them so they would never, ever speak of what they had seen. When police asked Dixie if the car that LG was spotted in was Richards, she too, vehemently denied it, stating that she knew Richards yellow car well, and this wasnt it. Most of the sightings of the boys were when the three were riding on two bicycles. I remember when the news broke and sitting in my living room floor crying and holding my new daughter I have read, watched and researched as much as I could throughout the years. This would make the Ballard sighting of 6:30 next to impossible if not impossible, considering the boys were found in those woods and the time of death was most likely 7pm. More specifically, turtles had bitten and clawed at Chris penis and scrotum as he lay for 18 hours in a muddy, watery ditch. Terry Hobbs absolutely killed the boys and the neighbor girl said he had seen them right before the boys died.

And its about time we started putting some pressure on him for some real answers. Was it because he was running around frantically trying to cover up for the crime? Not only did Terry whip Stevie for not listening, but Pam was strict as well. In other words, a bite on Stevies face would likely mean that his perpetrator was a parent or step-parent. Which means hecouldhave been walking with Buddy right at the time Terry and David would have shown up. He writes it right in the autopsy report. The day when they finally made a grid to cover the entire woods and nearby field, was on either the 7th or 8th of May, a full two or three days after the murder.

I personally believe that this boy was Michael Moore. By 7:05 the three boys may have been spotted by Terry or one of the others. Hobbs was the stepfather of Steven Branch, one of the boys found murdered in 1993, in West Memphis, Arkansas. SO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? Thursday, Hobbs told Action News 5 he didn't do it. Jacoby is adamant to anyone who listens that Hobbs is not his friend. First of all, she claims that her husband, her three children and her sons girlfriend were all in the car that night and two of her children even testified in court about the sighting. This theory is corroborated by Bennie Guys statement (here) You can see in this photo where Hobbs and Jacoby could have parked, giving them very easy access to the location that the boys were most likely killed and later found. Terry was born in Northern Arkansas and grew up in the Ozark Mountain region of the state. For years, the stepfather of one of the three children killed in West Memphis, Arkansas, has maintained his innocence, despite public outcry to investigate him.

If the cop has power, it's easy. I could continue to list the ways that Mr. Douglass' statement is wrong, but I don't think I have to. You have to remember that during this time these two men were quite young, mid twenties/mid thirties and they had just gotten off of work, they had Davids wife Bobby to watch the kids, Pam was at work and Stevie was playing with his friends and wouldnt be back till 8pm. Those partially digested vegetables not only prove the long held belief that the boys died around 7pm, shortly after being seen, but that Stevie most likely ate those vegetables right near 5:00 pm.
