“It’s been theorized that straw dolls are a sign of pedophile groups like the crooked spiral,” she said. But there’s something ambiguous about the way she said “crooked spiral.” She could be saying that straw dolls and crooked spirals are both symbols used by pedophiles. Or -- and this is what her inflection made it sound like -- there’s a pedophile group called the Crooked Spiral.

People know the Crooked Spiral exists but can’t prove it. Maybe the the cult is operating in Arkansas, Louisiana and elsewhere and is protected because it includes powerful people in its ranks.

Take, for instance, the rising ambitions of Greg Larsen (Brett Cullen). In ‘80, the prosecutor blindsides the detectives on the Purcell murder/disappearance by appearing on “Donahue.” In ‘90, as Arkansas’ attorney general, he visits now Lt. Roland West (Stephen Dorff) to put him and Wayne Hays (Mahershala Ali) on notice that the newly re-opened Purcell investigation should reaffirm the conviction they got for the boy Will Purcell’s murder. No longer are we all searching for the truth; now we’re fighting over whose truth will win out.

On the walls of Roland’s office, you see pictures of him glad-handing Bill Clinton, and with that spectre of the state’s realpolitik hanging over the scene, Larsen turns the screws on Hays, who has been at a desk for the past decade. Hays later asks Roland: “We’re not going to do any of that shite they just said, right?” The reply comes: “Wasn’t planning on it.”
