What about the West Memphis 3 story. I think Damien and the other 2 actually did kill the 3 boys.

This is the one that I am still perplexed by. No theories but that’s about the creepiest murder mystery that you’ll ever find.

I can't get pass the fact that one of the boys admitted guilt numerous times and gave info that checked out but then again he did have a very low IQ and who could have been manipulated by the detectives.

True evil does not require a motive.

They held him for 12 hours interrogating him. And he's practically functionally retarded.

As a joke I ordered the Satanic Bible from a bookstore and they called my house when it came in. Unfortunately for me my Mom took the call.

I've actually read up a lot about this case and that is just not true. That was a rumor spread by the WM3 supporters. Jesse Misskelly actually admitted guilt within a couple of hours. He told his own attorney they had been drinking jack Daniels and told him where he threw the bottle and the attorney confirmed it was there plus Jesse told a friend he had done a bad thing, while crying, and gave away the shoes he was wearing.

Here is a link to facts of the case but I will admit there are other websites that share a different view.

The Hillside Stranglers, Son of Sam, Night Stalker etc were make believe Satanists, right?

I doubt you've read much if you still think they had anything really to do with it. He's pretty damn dumb. They're just poor, dumb West Memphis rednecks. Just like the police.

That website doesn't even work. It links "sources" from another website that is dead. I can't take that seriously.

If they really did it, and the police and prosecutors fervently thought so, then why did Arkansas free them? (And that doesn't even get into the bullshite Alford plea that Arkansas screwed them with, solely to prevent them winning damages against the state.)

It's 2022 and I have a hard time remembering people that think like this still exist.

Yes, and there were really witches in Salem too.

June 3, 1993: With consent from his father, Jessie was taken to the West Memphis Police Department for questioning.  He was being questioned because he was a known friend of Damien Echols, who was a suspect in the murders. With additional written permission from his father, he was read his Miranda rights and given a polygraph exam, which he reportedly failed. The documentaries imply that Jessie was interrogated for 12 hours before confessing.  That is a lie. Jessie arrived at that police station at 10:00am and confessed at 2:20pm.  Only 2 1/2 hours of that time was spent in actual interrogation.

Don't know why that link did that so here is some from it.

[quote]FACT - JESSIE MISSKELLEY CONFESSED NUMEROUS TIMES:
The Paradise Lost and West of Memphis documentaries and the book and movie Devil's Knot completely leave out the fact Jessie Misskelley confessed to the murders numerous times both before and after he was convicted.

May 6, 1993: The morning after the murders, Jessie's friend, Buddy Lucas, stopped by Jessie's house. Buddy said Jessie told him he "hurt" some boys in West Memphis the night before. He then broke out in sweat, cried, and gave Buddy a used pair of sneakers (presumably the ones he wore to the crime scene).


It's called westmephisthreefacts.com

There are a lot of people who think that Terry Hobbs was involved… anyone have any theories on that?

Still nothing. Just stop.

Read this and actually learn something about the case.

Specifically:

quote:

In 2004 the state Supreme Court granted Echols’s motion, and similar motions by Baldwin and Misskelley, for DNA testing of genetic evidence recovered from the victims and the crime scene. The testing eliminated all three youths as sources of recovered material and linked some of it to Steven Branch’s stepfather, Terry Hobbs, and a man named David Jacoby, who had been with Hobbs when the boys disappeared.

They all(and plenty others) identified as and considered themselves Satanists. That's not debatable. Your opinion on whether Satan actually exists couldn't be more irrelevant.

I knew you would link a website of his supporters. The fact is they are still guilty and considered murderers.
