The Forgotten West Memphis Three

Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers were only 8 years old when they viciously murdered in 1993. 

“If they thought they could trust the person who was the actual threat, then that person could get close enough to them to control them so that they couldn't run away," retired FBI Supervisory Agent Jim Clemente says in "The Forgotten West Memphis Three."

Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. were convicted in 1994 of the murder of three 8-year-old boys. Despite their release, following years of maintaining their innocence, they are still technically convicted killers.

Stevie Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers were last spotted entering Robin Hood Hills on the evening they went missing.

A witness named Carlos Seals said he saw the three 8-year-old victims on the day they were murdered riding their bikes into the entrance of Robin Hood Hills.

George Taylor said he was the fourth boy traveling with Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore before they were killed.

Investigators theorized the bodies of Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore had been mutilated in a Satanic ritual, but could they have been torn apart by animals?

After almost 20 years behind bars, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley, Jr. were released from prison as part of a plea deal.

Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of West Memphis Three murder victim Stevie Branch, has denied any involvement in slayings of Branch and his two friends.

Law enforcement believed the 1993 murder of three 8-year-old boys was the work of a Satanic cult led by local teen Damien Echols.
