Most of the sightings of the boys were when the three were riding on two bicycles. RIDGE: IS THE WOODS HAVE THEY GOT A NAME THEY CALL THEM ROBIN HOOD IS THAT RIGHT? This is where you ask yourself why Jacoby would lie to protect Hobbs and also why he would openly admit he lied in 2013. 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. THAT THE FIVE MAN MAY HAVE CAUGHT THEM? http://www.myfoxmemphis.com/story/21810828/new-allegations-surface-in-the-west-memphis-3-murders. . Terry Hobbs was reported missing from Kinard on April 20, but his family said the last time anyone. Terry admitted himself that he whipped Stevie and by Amandas own account, Terry was a violent man who left welts and bruises on her when he hit her. Upon the delivery, I saw Mr. Hobbs holding hands with the same man who he was at my house with on May 5, 1993. Due to the possibility that they wiped these items on their skin, I believe Terry would have taken those items with them when they left. If Terry wanted things to turn sexual, his predatory mind would have thought of ways to lead things in that direction. I believe that after Terrys attack on Stevies face, and with Stevie still quite conscious, this is when the tying of the children began. A rather uncommon knot for a regular person but a very common knot for a former butcher or farmer. If the boys truly had interrupted the men in the middle of a sex act, then it would be understandable why there were sexual overtones to their murder. VICKIE: SO THEN UM, II JUST GOT AARON OUT OF THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW. Misskelly, who has a low IQ, reportedly gave detectives a false confession which helped a jury convict the three of murder. This theory is supported by evidence as well. Apparently, the medical examiner stated that the fine scratches on Stevies penis are similar to those from children who have sexually abused, i.e: given oral sex. One of the most vital components of this theory is whether LG and Buddy had alibis for this night. According to Fox 13 Memphis, Benca previously said the evidence was intact and they plan to move ahead and test this evidenceusing the latest DNA technology available to hopefully identify the real killer(s) of the three children in 1993 and exonerate Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jesse Misskelley.. According to his cousin, Rex, this was not true. Now what did LG have to hide? However, I do believe that this was Terrys murder and he controlled it.

Then Vicki cuts him off and says he means "sex". Why in the world were the two men (or Terry alone) searching for the boys when it was light out if Terry had already said that Stevie could stay out till 8:00 pm? 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. David claims a little black girl told them the boys were heading to the woods. According to Bennie and Billys account, Terry Hobbs then walked over to the other boys, pulled out a knife and ordered the teens to remove their clothes. However, since LG was wearing a tie that day and the alleged confessions state the teens wrestled, its my belief that LGs shirt and tie had been removed for the entire murder, which meant that it was clean. Before Pam went to work she made a dinner of green beans and steak. RIDGE: SO HOW ABOUT DO YOU KNOW STEVE, DID HE EVER GO DOWN THERE WITH YOU?AARON: UM, ONLY ONE TIMERIDGE: ONE TIME, WERE THEY, WERE YOU ALL WATCHING THE FIVE MEN DOWN THERE THAT TIME WHEN HE WENT WITH YOU?AARON: NO, HES NEVER WE NEVER TOLD HIM ABOUT IT. He did not say anything to me. DNA testing in 2007 has identified a hair fragment found on Michael Moore's bindings to be consistent with Hobbs. It would explain SO MUCH about how Hobbs flew under the radar. Remember that LGs own mother was looking for him that night, despite the claim that he was allegedly dropped off at her home. Shortly after this, Terry Hobbs noticed that the three boys were spying on the men. 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 you read this report, it discusses threats Damien made against his parents, and they say they do not want him in their home because they are afraid of him and afraid of what he would do to the other children: http://callahan.8k.com/images/500/1/150.jpg. When reading her first statements to police, it raises serious doubts about her alleged sighting of the three boys. I went back and read all the autopsy reports and attempted to interpret them. The Hobbses are the mother and stepfather of Steve Branch, who. On the night of the 5th LGs aunt Dixie told police and her sister, Narlene, that LG was dropped off at the Laundromat where she worked in a small, light colored car. Hobbs' was. in fact the first one to be attacked. Is there any possible reason why they wouldnt have stopped? I cant be sure, but its possible that the interviewer in this deposition meant Roy not Ray. LG, as well, had raised some suspicions himself by carrying on an unusual relationship with a much older man. Lets begin with Buddy. This suggests that Terry Hobbs was the person who tied up Michael Moore and it is further supported by the manner in which Michael was tied up. Sometime right after 5:30, according to the Byers, Chris took off again from his house. Additionally, his wounds later attracted turtles to further bite his face, making his injuries more severe. 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. 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. This is most likely when Stevie asked Terry if he could continue riding bikes with his friends. NARLENE: He (Lg) said, if you start saying that about Damian, youre going to get in trouble, I said, well, the mommy is up there saying stating that he was, Damian was with her all the time. Its when you combine all the known evidence, much of the debate and the different positions, it all leads here, to this. This is all supported by Mark Byers testimony. At the time of the murders, Terry and Pam had a 4-year-old daughter. The nude, bound and mutilated bodies of three eight-year-old Cub Scouts were found in a water-filled ditch in a forest near their West Memphis, Ark., homes, one day after they disappeared in May, 1993. But what absolutely cannot happen is that 1 cop having his reputation, career, family, and future be staked on the guilt/innocence/fortitude/silence of that dick-lover Terry. According to Billy Stewarts statement, he believes that at this time some sexual activity occurred between the men and two teens. If Terry was already trained in this technique, it is a powerful piece of evidence against him, in my opinion. This could have given him ample time to clean the area. According to both Billy and Bennies statements, the four men pulled up to the trailer, bought a small amount of marijuana and left. By 7:05 the three boys may have been spotted by Terry or one of the others. NO, UM I WENT DOWN TO THE MOORES HOUSE TO SEE TODD AND DANA MOORE AND YOU KNOW JUST TO SEE YOU KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND UM, TODD ASKED ME VICKIE DO YOU THINK MAYBE AARON KNOWS WHERE THEIR AT? In the second statement, Narlene describes to police a conversation she had with LG outside of the police station right before a police interview. Wouldn't a normal person say "embarrassed", maybe? I know there was a warning but the warning wasn't clear enough. This is corroborated by various accounts and also by the fact that Stevie was not a child who disobeyed his parents. (Narlene Interview) Additionally, she lied about seeing Damien and her niece, Domini walking away from the crime scene sometime around 9:30 the night of the murders. Really?? This lends credibilty to the theory that Stevie did in fact go home, and even ate some dinner. Well, the alleged confessions from Buddy and LG finally answer that question. In fact, in 2012 the animal hair found on the boys bodies was tested; revealing that the animal hair was from both canines and felines. Its possible that Terry realized these knots could come back to him so he finished tying Michael up with a more traditionally used knot. : the alleged confessions of both Buddy and LG, Terry saw the boys spying and ordered the other three men to catch them. He said they were doing "what Indians do". The darkest shit about all of this, is that they sensationalized this case as some bullshit Satanic fantasy. and all of it just covers up the sobering truth: this kind of child murder happens every day. The prosecution would mention a stick and Perreti kept saying, Or a 24. Maybe because sheknewLG was involved and he told her that Damien did it. WE ALWAYS GOT A PLACE TO HIDE BEFORE THEY CAN GET THERE, AARON: WE HIDE ONE TIME WE HIDE BEHIND UM A TREE. Lastly, even David Jacoby, friend to Terry Hobbs, testified that when Terry arrived at his home at 5:30, he asked Terry where Stevie was. To me, this suggests that perhaps this was common knowledge around Terrys group of friends. I believe it is because the truth had finally and for the very first time, been exposed. Furthermore, Terry himself claimed to be in those woods all night, up until the early morning. So although at least some experts said the boys were not punched, I dont believe thats true at all. Additionally, Stevie had what appeared to be bruises on the back of his head. 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. 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. Then, in 2013, Jacoby was summoned to court over the alleged confessions of Buddy Lucas and LG Hollingsworth. Considering that the boys were unconscious, this knot seems to have been used out of sheer habit. We do not know whose pants were the ones inside out for sure and whose pair of pants was not, but we do know that Michaels shirt was the only one not inside out and none of the buttons on his shirt were ripped off. What reasons could there possibly be for not being honest about the night a horrific murder of children took place? The nudity and tying is what makes it even more sick than just bashing their heads in. Catch them! When the teens brought the boys back, one of them kicked Hobbs which sent him into a rage. He did not tell me who he was calling, and he did not tell me that Stevie was missing, Pamela previously told investigators. SO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? YEA IT WAS BUT, I WOULD THINK SO, IN ORDER TO HOLD ALL 3 LITTLE 8 YEAR OLDS THAT IT WAS PRETTY STURDY, AARON: IN ROBIN HOOD UH, THE PLACE WHERE THE BOARDS ARE. I allege that Terry came home right after 5pm and Stevie was headed to the house at this time. They were so sure that the murders were part of a satanic ritual done by teenagers, and were so desperate to make sure that Aarons answers revealed that, that eventually Aarons statements began to get more and more fantastical and implausible. 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? This theory supportsbothsides of the debate. When he was finished with that, I believe he then turned to Stevie. Additionally, his cousin, Charlotte claims that he was at Lakeshore before the murders, left and did not come back till the next day. Douglas believes the act was meant to dominate, control, humiliate and punish. The manner in which they were tied also tells us about the crime and the perpetrator(s). BLY BUDDY UM, LEFT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE KIDS GOT KILLED AND SHE SAID, HE DIDNT COME BACK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. When they returned the four men continued to submerge the boys clothes with sticks and, finally, hastily threw the last items of clothing in the water as it grew dark. When police told him they were going to polygraph him about Jessies alleged confession, Buddy immediately admitted that he had lied; Jessie never said anything to him about the murders. I know that all the experts agree that Michael was unconscious while he was tied up but I dont know about Stevie.. How is that a way to describe sex? AARON: ITS, ITS IN UH, ITS IN THOSE WOODS WHERE UH, WHERE THAT STOP SIGN IS AND ITS. The bathroom window over my tub was partially open and my yelling could be heard outside. And in keep in mind that Terry grew up working as a butcher. What people forget is that we dont knowwhosaid that Terry propositioned Jacoby. 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. When Jessie was fully investigated by police, it never once came up that Jessie was with Buddy that night. So, according to Aarons mother, Vickie, the clubhouse, which was located in the Blue Beacon Woods, was a spot where her son often went to play and any time he was late to come home it was because he was out playing in those woods. Terry and Pam see Dawn Moore and tell her they are looking for Stevie. Mark Byers claimed that Chris had attempted to break into the house sometime near 5pm but could not get in, when Mark arrived home at 5:20 and left shortly after to pick up his other son, he saw Chris riding his skateboard in the street. The boys probably promised to meet up in a bit and Chris headed home. When suspicion was surrounding Buddy and he was interviewed by police about allegedly having a pair of bloody shoes, Buddy turned the attention to Jessie Misskelley. Its difficult to know all of Narlenes reasons but I have a feeling about one of them. apparently Terry said just 2 weeks after the deaths that Pam was neglecting her duties as a wife, apparently Terry was jealous of how much Pam loved and gave attention to Stevie. And why would Narlene have any need to lie for LG if he was innocent? What other reason could there be? DO YOU THINK THEY WERE CRAZYAARON: THEY WERE SMOKINGRIDGE: FOR DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING?AARON: THEY WERE ROLLED UP UM, CIGARETTES THERE WAS ALL KIND OF WHITERIDGE: KINDA WHITE CIGARETTES?AARON: ALL WHITETHE KIND YOU ROUND UP YEA YOU PUT THAT GREEN STUFF IN THERE. RIDGE: WITH THEIR MOUTH, WHERE THEY HAVING SEX WITH THEIR MOUTH? When Dixie told her of him coming in to the laundry in the small car she asked if she was sure that it wasnt Richard Simpsons car. With all that in mind, I allege that Terry and Amanda returned home a little after 5pm. THEY UM. ~What I couldnt tell from the autopsy report was if Stevie struggled in his ligatures or not.
