In March 2022,Damien Echols said in a tweet that hell be back in court on June 23 with his law team as they try to get access to DNA, found in the case evidence, to a lab for testing. So, essentially, the boys were trapped unless they were able to get to the log. JMB is a freaking nut but I think he loved Michelle so much that when Chris died, she did, too. Back to the timeline. Her relay of the conversation seems to reveal that Narlene is talking to LG as if they both know that Damien is guilty. JMB really did love them even though he had a temper and did admit to corporal punishment. If the purpose in stripping the boys was to demean and humiliate them, then Terry would have wanted them to be conscious while he did it. AARON: MICHAEL AND CHRIS SAID NOT TO TELL NOBODY, RIDGE: UM, DO YOU THINK THOSE MEN WERE CRAZY? The 4perp claims that Chris was very quickly held down so Terry could stab and bite him. David Jacoby is the key to this case. Then, I believe that Terry began to attack Stevies face by biting him and even possibly striking his face with the corner of the board. The new evidence establishes that the last person who had custody of the three boys before they vanished and died was Terry Hobbs. It is my opinion that the answers to many of the questions of what happened that night, will be answered here. It really wasnt too difficult to do, at least for some of it. The attack on his genitals suggests an offender who is ashamed of his own sexuality, possibly confused and angered by his own sexual impulses towards males. So although at least some experts said the boys were not punched, I dont believe thats true at all. I believe at this time, Terry directed his attention to Stevie and bit him repeatedly on this face. Its possible that Terry realized these knots could come back to him so he finished tying Michael up with a more traditionally used knot. He flipped flopped between being at home with his mother and being at his friend Richards house from 5:30-9pm. According to Billy Stewarts statement, he believes that at this time some sexual activity occurred between the men and two teens. Rather than rush inside and tell Pam that Stevie was missing along with two of his friends, he walked right past Pam to the phone, called police and filed a missing person report. Statement made by Anthony Hollingsowrth, cousin to LG, to police. This is actually supported by various testimony, which I will bring up later. 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). 4:50 Terry takes Pam to work but first drives by the Moores looking for Stevie who did not come home by 4:30. ALRIGHT DID CHRIS AND MICHAEL DID THEY TELL YOU THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD GOT CAUGHT. My suspicion is that LGs parents knew he participated in this crime ( I will touch more on this later) and Narlene, being LGs aunt, probably had some limited knowledge of his participation, too. RIDGE: OKAY, AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU WENT DOWN THERE? I just find it amazing that she let this slip out and the police never even caught on. For the rest of the night the families, neighbors, friends and police search for the boys. Memories of events are easy to remember, specific times when events occurred are much more difficult to pinpoint. 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. thirty minutes to clean up the crime scene before it got dark. Hobbs was the stepfather of Steven Branch, one of the boys found murdered in 1993, in West Memphis, Arkansas. The manner in which they were tied also tells us about the crime and the perpetrator(s). that triggers narcissistic rage, he blacks out with rage and goes too far. was terry hobbs ever found - wytprod.com 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. 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. Years later it was discovered by experts for the defense that a knife had not caused the injuries to Chris penis at all. . SO WHAT HAPPENED NEXT? In this letter, a man named Bennie Guy revealed that in 1994, two teens, Buddy Lucas and LG Hollingsworth had confessed to him that they had been involved in the murders with two other men, Terry Hobbs, stepfather to one of the murdered boys and David Jacoby, friend of Terry Hobbs. Additionally, a bite on the face during murders/attacks is not only common in homosexual attacks, like a bite to the scrotum is, but it also common in Battered Child Syndrome. The only reason one could think that someone would make the concerted, and possibly dangerous, effort to take the bikes up to the bayou to be submerged, was to give themselves time to create an alibi. Facebook. And the 90s. 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. RIDGE: OKAY. 9pm at night, and according to her, he was wearing a white shirt and tie. This theory supportsbothsides of the debate. The question, however, is why wasChrisdegloved and not the other children? Lets begin with Buddy. According to many experts, this is a huge indicator that the perpetrator(s) knew the victims. He most likely began to tie up one side of Stevie using a figure eight knot and then went to Michael and tied up one side of him with a square knot. And in another statement made a week later, Aaron again says he believes his friends got caught spying on the men and one of them ordered the others to hold the boys while he killed them: AARON: NOBODY EVEN KNOWS THAT.. THAT I KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. RIDGE: OKAY, UH, YOUR SAYING THEIR DOING THINGS LIKE MAN AND WOMEN WOULD BE DOING. My theory is that Chris had tried to get into his home and failed and was heading back to Stevies house when he was picked up by his dad instead. The day when they finally made a grid to cover the entire woods and nearby field, was on either the 7th or 8th of May, a full two or three days after the murder. The final sightings of the boys had them heading into Robin Hood Hills at 6:30.(source). After Terrys attack on Michael, I believe Terry left him on the ground unconscious. Anyone who has owned a dog, knows how dogs will lick blood clean in a matter of minutes. Buddy allegedly confessed that when the four returned to the truck, Terry and David looked to the teens and promised to kill them if they ever spoke of the crime to anyone. A few pages prior, he writes "Damien and Jason had no indicative violence in their pasts, and while Jessie was known for a hot temper, he channeled his aggression into pursuits such as wrestling." 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. HES NEVER SEEN THEM, AARON: CAUSE IT WAS ON A FRIDAY WHENEVER HE WENT DOWN THERE WITH US. OKAY WHAT WERE THESE MAN DOING?AARON: THEY WERE UH, DOING NASTY STUFFRIDGE: DOING NASTY STUFF, WHERE DID YOU SEE THEM DOING THIS STUFF?AARON: IN ROBIN HOOD UH, THE PLACE WHERE THE BOARDS ARE, AARON: THEY, THEY DO WHAT MEN AND WOMAN DO, RIDGE: OKAY, UH, YOUR SAYING THEIR DOING THINGS LIKE MAN AND WOMEN WOULD BE DOINGAARON: YEAH (YES)RIDGE: WHEN I SAY HAVING SEX IS THAT WHAT YOUR DESCRIBING?AARON: YES SIRRIDGE: OKAY, HOW WOULD THEY HAVE SEX?AARON: THEY WOULD UM, THEY WOULD WIPE EACH OTHER LIKE UM, LIKE UM, LIKE THEY DID UM TO MICHAEL, CHRIS AND STEVE THEY SAID, RIDGE: WITH THEIR MOUTH, WHERE THEY HAVING SEX WITH THEIR MOUTH?AARON: YES SIR, RIDGE: DID THIS HAPPEN REAL OFTEN ?AARON: YES SIRRIDGE: HOW OFTEN ?AARON: IT HAPPENED FIVE TIMESRIDGE: FIVE TIMES YOU SAW IT HAPPEN FIVE TIMES? DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE CLUB HOUSE WAS? Have you ever have you ever sexuallypropositioned David Jacoby? Only two people's DNA was ever found at the scene. She has since expressed her belief that her ex-husband was involved in the murders, citing the discovery of her son's favorite pocket knife in Terry Hobbs' belongings. It also would make sense that Terry would carry shame, deep shame, if he were secretly homosexual. These men had no reason to lie or even tell their story, if not for justice. As Brent Turvey wrote in his profile of the criminal, the man who perpetrated this act against Christopher is a closet homosexual who carries shame about his homosexual tendencies. No doubt. 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. Create an account to follow your favorite communities and start taking part in conversations. In West Memphis, Hobbs worked as an ice cream delivery man and Hicks worked at a restaurant. This brings us to around 6pm at night. I'm a parent now and that's why this case has been glued in my mind. Echols lawyer, Patrick Benca, reviewed evidence earlier this year that was thought to have been lost. I believe this somehow got back to Narlene, who began to feel that it was her duty that justice be served. Humiliation is a strong word and punishment for the situation. Its difficult to know all of Narlenes reasons but I have a feeling about one of them. Jacoby is adamant to anyone who listens that Hobbs is not his friend. By the time the crime scene was cleaned up, it would have likely been around 8pm; dark, which I believe helped the four escape undetected. When Terry arrived at Pams work, he did something very peculiar. (1). VICKIE: HE STAYED. I dont feel it was an actualclubhouse. Stevie would have then gone home, eaten some dinner and asked if he could continue playing with Chris and Michael. The truth of what really occurred on May 5th, 1993 has not been completely solved and no suspects have been arrested. AARON: BEFORE THEY DID ANYTHING THEY WENT UP TO MY MAMAS TRUCK AND THEY ASKED HER IF I COULD GO OVER TO MICHAELS HOUSE TO GO UH, GO, GO WITH, GO WITH THEM TO PLAY SOME WHERE THAT WAS WHERE OUR CLUB WAS. VICKIE: HE STAYED. They had been stripped naked, hogtied and beaten. There was evidence to suggest that Aaron was telling the truth about the clubhouse because wooden planks were in fact found and collected by police. VICKIE: I REALLY COULDNT TELL THAT. He has dead eyes. This could have given him ample time to clean the area. However, I dont think it takes an expert to see that the mark above Stevies eye appears to truly be a bite mark. He allegedly admitted to Bennie that he had participated in the murders with three other men, LG Hollingsworth, Terry Hobbs and David Jacoby. This is significant because no one else has ever theorized that Chris was actually bitten in his scrotum; its a completely new allegation. After some time, they pulled up beside the Blue Beacon Woods. However, according to Billy, one of the boys kicked Terry after he was caught and brought to him. Its possible. I have recently taken a huge interest in this case, and found that there is misinformation literally everywhere. During a special presentation at CrimeCon 2022 Las Vegas, former New York State prosecutor Jim Clemente joined Truth & Justice podcast host, Bob Ruff, and investigative journalist, George Jared, to take a deep dive into a conversation Jared previously had with Terry Hobbs. Theres no debate about that because there were steep inclines on the sides of the ditch where all three bodies were placed, making it impossible that they were just tossed in from either the east or west bank. RIDGE OKAY, SO WHEN BUDDY TELLS US THAT HE BELIEVES THAT THE DATE ON THE 5TH THAT HE WENT OVER THERE WITH YOU, HE DID GO OVER THERE WITH YOU, BUT IT WASNT ON THAT DATE? When police interviewed Buddys cousin, she recalled that her aunt said that Buddy left to go see Jessie sometime before the murders occurred but did not return till the next day. They lived only a few blocks from each other after all and LG already had a suspicious relationship with an older man. Not only did Billy Stewart allege to have seen David and Terry kiss two different times, but he also claims to have delivered drugs to both men at a gay bar called J-Wags. But what we found over the years of investigating and in the process of creating the series people, their memories fade. the tying up is part of what frames this as a punishment that crossed the line. Apparently, Stevie had injuries to his penis that he believed were self inflicted.
