West Memphis Three

In 1993, three young boys were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Faced with a horrific crime and intense public pressure, investigators did what any calm and rational people would do during the height of the Satanic Panic—they looked for the nearest teenagers wearing black. In this episode, we explore the murders of Stevie Branch, Christopher Byers, and Michael Moore, the controversial convictions of the West Memphis Three, and a case that raises an uncomfortable question: were three killers caught, or were three teenagers sacrificed to satisfy a town desperate for answers? TRIGGER WARNING ‼️ This episode contains discussions of child murder, graphic violence, alleged sexual assault, and disturbing crime scene details. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
