"He would have been a heart breaker if. I dont feel it was an actualclubhouse. Especially considering that they are remembering this event 18 years later for one, and for two, there were multiple sightings of the boys from 6pm-6:30 on the street beside the woods, quite a ways away from the Hobbs home, as well as the woods themselves. Maybe because sheknewLG was involved and he told her that Damien did it. Furthermore, the time the boys were seen doing this is also around the time that Aaron Hutchinson claimed they had first seen the men in the woods. Buddy Lucas lived in Lakeshore Trailerpark in May, 1993. The Hobbses are the mother and stepfather of Steve Branch, who. "I was yelling for Terry to get out, and ultimately Terry ran out of my home and ran downstairs into his unit. As the men submerged the boys, I believe the two teens took the bicycles to the bayou where they dumped them on the north side of the pipe bridge. After he removed his clothes, he ripped out one shoelace from Michaels shoe and cut it in half with his knife. I strongly feel that this was something that only the killer or someone who witnessed the killing, would have known. Due to the suspicion surrounding Buddy and because of his erratic behavior, Bennie Guy decided to confront Buddy and ask him if he truly was involved. When the police asked Aaron why he thought his friends were murdered, he told them that he believed his friends got caught spying on the men and that the man with the white tank top told the others to hold them while he killed them. However, is it simply a coincidence that the statements that Aaron told police in 1993 coincide so perfectly with the alleged confessions that Buddy and LG made in 1994 and were later retold in 2012? Is it just a coincidence that Buddy mentions that the boys were hit on the back of the head, and that, unknown to the public, all three were in fact hit in the back of the head? thanks for the recommendation!! If the cop is a nobody, it's marginally tougher, but still doable. The prosecution would mention a stick and Perreti kept saying, Or a 24. If that is true, then that is more evidence to support Billys statements as being factual. 92.According to L.G., Mr. Hobbs snapped and hit the boy with severe force in the head two or three times. It is much more plausible that Stevie would have come home not much later than the time he was originally supposed to be there and that he made it home not much later than dinnertime. A Calhoun County man has been missing for weeks now, leaving his family searching for answers. I think Michelle died of a broken heart, possibly organ failure due to drug abuse. My theory is that when Stevie saw Terry there, he was scared, very scared. At 6:40 the men may have shown up in the BB woods, some wrestling may have occurred and some drinking and/or smoking and even the beginning of sexual activity. The boys were not simply tossed in, but carried down the ditch and methodically pushed deep into the mud so they wouldnt float. Additionally, there is an ample amount of evidence, in my opinion, that Terry might have sexually abused all of his children. Right as this happened, Terry, who was their neighbor, called to Stevie to come home. They are also one of very few people,who hadfamily memberswho suspected that they were involved and actually contacted police as a result of those suspicions. The kick, along with the humiliation of being spied on, would have made Terry snap because he did not stand for any kind of disobedience. Additionally, the act of biting the scrotum and stabbing the groin area speaks volumes about the identity of the killer. The ME noted the extremely pale look of Chris skin as well as the lack of water in the lungs, and it was clear to him that he had bled to death. Another coincidence? But the deeper I dug, the more I realized that not only was there no evidence to discredit that these four men committed this murder, all the known evidence supports the notion that they actually did do it. HES NEVER SEEN THEM, AARON: CAUSE IT WAS ON A FRIDAY WHENEVER HE WENT DOWN THERE WITH US. As I mentioned previously, this statement is an enormous indicator of truth, in my opinion. As Bennies statements suggest, as well the MEs position on Michaels injuries, there is good evidence to suggest that Michael was violently attacked first and then lay unconscious for the rest of the crime. He was only 19 years old and this was a hot day in May. I thought, surely, if this is a lie, it will be discredited quickly by known facts and information. 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). Then he changes his story again and said that Narlene did give him a ride home around this time. Had LG engaged in sexual activity with Hobbs and Jacoby prior to this day? The purpose, according to FBI profiler, John Douglas, was to humiliate, demean and control. This could mean that Terry could have arrived sometime between 8:45 and 9:00pm. Im not sure if that rumor is true or not, but I do believe TH may have done it & DJ knew about it. And, allegedly, David was the one who caught Christopher, so I believe the first person who was attacked was Michael. It was only then that Jacoby publicly admitted that Hobbs had left for two hours that night. Do you frequent gay clubs? The reason for the prosecutions stance, I believe, is because the bitemark never matched Echols, Baldwin or Misskelley. I recall a man was outside across the street working in his yard. These men had no reason to lie or even tell their story, if not for justice. Murders In West Memphis::: - Jivepuppi VICKIE: UM, WEST MEMPHIS POLICE HAD ALL OF THE AREA ROPED OFFRIDGE: OKAYVICKIE: I WENT TO THE DEAD END IT WAS YOU KNOWRIDGE: DEAD END? To corroborate this letter, Byers and Hicks lawyer and investigator contacted Bennies friend, Billy Stewart. Yup. Ive been trying to bridge what Peretti said happened with what the defense experts said. Her relay of the conversation seems to reveal that Narlene is talking to LG as if they both know that Damien is guilty. RIDGE YOU DIDNT GO OVER THERE THAT DAY? I think its open to interpretation. In the autopsy reports, it was concluded that Michael was swiftly and violently attacked and was likely unconscious for almost the entire assault on the boys. This case has just been trapped in my mind since I heard about it and it breaks my heart every single day. that was a red flag to me, alright. In the first one, she is relaying to police a conversation she had with her sister in law about LG and his family and the way they all were behaving a few days after the murder. Lets begin with Buddy. Now what did LG have to hide? If Michael had kicked Terry that could have been the impetus that pushed Terry to hit him back. Terry claims to anyone and everyone who has asked about that night, that he was almost frantically searching for Stevie from 5:00pm-9:00pm at night. What they discovered was a very organized, catalogued and intact body of evidence, a group working on the case previously wrote. And in keep in mind that Terry grew up working as a butcher. Join Nancy Grace for her new online video series designed to help you protect what you love most your children. We know this because it appeared as though Stevie had struggled while he was restrained. And, Ill tell you something, I would take up for my kids when Ive known that they have done something, cause aint no telling what they would do. 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. I believe that after Terrys attack on Stevies face, and with Stevie still quite conscious, this is when the tying of the children began. 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. WHAT DID YOU ALL HIDE AND WAIT FOR THEM?AARON: YEAH (YES) WILL WE ALWAYS. There is an easy explanation for that, though, if its true. The boys, especially Chris and Michael, were skinny, little boys. Steven Branch had lacerations on his penis which were probably self-inflicted indicating a sexualized child, usually associated with sexual abuse. well, Im going to take care of L. G. I find Narlenes comments very telling. "It's my. I cant be sure, but its possible that the interviewer in this deposition meant Roy not Ray. I allege that he ordered the three to tie up the boys and explained that they should all be tied up in the same manner. What really stands out to me is that the guilt or innocence of the men known as the West Memphis Three has been wildly debated through the years. Listening now! 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. Why would she get in trouble for that? With advancements in DNA testing, hopefully we will soon know exactly whose DNA this very small sample belongs to. Memories of events are easy to remember, specific times when events occurred are much more difficult to pinpoint. When police finally did ask Buddy where he was the night of the 5th, he claimed that he barbecued with his family and then brought over some barbecue chicken to Jessie who ended up not being there. On the right side, it appeared as if he had been hit with something that was flat. The final sightings of the boys had them heading into Robin Hood Hills at 6:30.(source). This is all supported by Mark Byers testimony. You really would need magic to pull it off. 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. Aaron, Michael and Chris had always gone without Stevie and the one time Stevie did go, the men did not show up. I believe, that the ME was speaking of long term sexual abuse of a child. His alibi for the night of the murders was shaky (the friend he says he was with says he left for a while) and he acted strangely towards his wife when he went to pick her up from work, walking past her and not saying anything, just calling the police to report the boys missing. Thats four hours. Not only did Terry whip Stevie for not listening, but Pam was strict as well. Chris had bruises on his inner and outer thigh, indicating that he WAS held down and his legs were held apart. These two are pretty clear, I think, especially with one coming from his parents. She tells police that LG said to her,dont tell police you saw Damien on the service road or you will get in trouble. AARON: ITS, ITS IN UH, ITS IN THOSE WOODS WHERE UH, WHERE THAT STOP SIGN IS AND ITS. This means that by the time the four men would have attacked, stripped and tied up the boys, it would have only been somewhere around 7:30 at night. 1 cop's mission: do whatever it takes to dissuade a focus on Terry. I admit that when I first read the alleged Buddy/LG confessions I was skeptical. RIDGE: FIVE TIMES YOU SAW IT HAPPEN FIVE TIMES? (1) Strangely, Buddy first says that he has a man who will testify that he worked with Buddy all that day and then later on in the conversation, Buddy claims that his boss will testify that he was at work on the 5th. Further, there is some belief that part of the injury to Stevies penis was also a bitemark. This subreddit is dedicated to the West Memphis Three and the ongoing mystery of who really killed the boys they were wrongly convicted for murdering. I also believe that Stevie was punched by the teenage boys, mostly by LG, but for the most part, and according to the confessions they mostly restrained him. This means that the four could have been driving around the back streets for around 25 minutes and then might have pulled up to the Blue Beacon Woods sometime around 6:40. Therefore, it was likely that the person who either killed or tied Michael up, was carrying a knife. Clemente said the first place a child would likely return to is home. This was an attempt, clearly, to make the discovery of the boys more difficult. Its when you combine all the known evidence, much of the debate and the different positions, it all leads here, to this. Whats equally puzzling is the fact that almost nothing about the two mens alibis is the same, yet they both claim to have been with each other. Three boys were seen riding their bikes around the neighborhood of West Memphis, last seen heading to the Robin Hood Hill woods at 6:30. Its likely that Terry was already heading to Billy Stewarts home since, according to Billy, he was Terrys drug dealer at this time. 2, 2019 at 4:53 PM PDT. I believe he intended to terrify and threaten them so they would never, ever speak of what they had seen. According to Pams family, Stevie was terrified of Terry. This case is so terrifying. It is my belief that only Stevie and Chris were stripped at this time because Michael was most likely already unconscious. 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. AARON: MICHAEL AND CHRIS SAID NOT TO TELL NOBODY. I do believe that some of the injuries on Stevies penis came from himself, from excessive masturbatory play. First of all, something led the perpetrators to get into the water. Although I have gone into great detail describing how this murder took place, in reality, the experts believed it would have only taken around 20 minutes to carry the murder out. The question is, why? However, according to Billy, one of the boys kicked Terry after he was caught and brought to him. Only two people's DNA was ever found at the scene. Even Peretti agrees that there was injury to the groin area AFTER death. According to Billy Stewarts statement, he believes that at this time some sexual activity occurred between the men and two teens. He snapped and hit the boy. However, I do believe the women saw the three boys and that they also saw them with Terry Hobbs; they testified under oath and under penalty of perjury and they are credible sources. Either the perps knew the possibility of the bodies floating with time, or, the area where the bodies could be dropped in was not deep enough to completely hide them. Before I go over the timeline of how the day of May 5th 1993 might have unfolded, there is available evidence that is extremely pertinent to understanding what happened that day. Now newly released evidence implicating Terry Hobbs has Pam Hobbs raising her own doubts about the man she once trusted. 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. I allege that after Stevie and Chris had been stripped and attacked, Terry began to tie up Stevie. This is a big deal. In the beginning I thought it was TH. Even if he maybe didn't intend to kill him, I'm sure he started to beat him and his rage just got the best of him and there was no turning back. As he tied up Michael, he further demonstrated to them how to tie up the others in the same consistent manner. If we believe these statements by Aaron, which I think are very plausible, we have not only a motive for murder but the very basis for what might have occurred in those woods on May 5th, 1993. And also bit him in his penis perhaps once or twice. Not only ONE victim but THREE. It's pure evil and hate. They lived only a few blocks from each other after all and LG already had a suspicious relationship with an older man. Terry was born in Northern Arkansas and grew up in the Ozark Mountain region of the state. 9pm by his aunt, and lastly, remember the very obvious lie Narlene made, and even convinced her two children to make,on the standabout seeing Damien and Domini on the service road.. What that may mean is that the last known place that LG was seen was Lakeshore Trailerpark. CHRISTY, I WAS TALKING TO A GIRL NAMED CHRISTY AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE THOUGHT THEY HAD FOUND ONE OF THE BODIES. 4:50 Terry takes Pam to work but first drives by the Moores looking for Stevie who did not come home by 4:30. Clemente emphasized that someone who wants to know why the children were killed would likely encourage any and all evidence testing, as its one step closer to understanding the heinous murder. Additionally, why would LG go down to the Laundromat at approx. Video footage of the crime scene also shows the boards: AARON: YES SIRRIDGE: OKAY. This, too, would further explain how the attack unfolded. Just as the stripping of the clothes and the bites and stabs to groin; it all suggests a sexual element to this crime. I allege that the two perpetrators, Jacoby and Hobbs, entered the water and began to submerge the boys deep in the mud in order to keep them from floating. Upon arriving home with his younger daughter, he told police that he did not see his older step-son, Stevie. LG never mentioned whether he was dropped off at home or not, but I have a theory about what happened next, which I will now describe. Twitter. And why would Jacoby publicly and openly admit that he lied under penalty of perjury and to police back in 2007? two hours to clean up the blood at the scene. 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. These statements have protected Hobbs for seven years. Allegedly, Terry Hobbs told the boys he was going to teach them a lesson. Remember that LGs own mother was looking for him that night, despite the claim that he was allegedly dropped off at her home.
