Echols is one of three men found guilty in the brutal murders of three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis in 1993. I also believe the mutilations to Chris Byres was pure turtle predation, as well as Stevie's facial injuries. I allege that one or all of them took the underwear and socks, wet them in the water and used them to wipe blood off themselves, off the board and any other weapons used in the murder, as well as to wipe up blood at the scene. UNLESS YOU KNOW NOT GETTING UP THERE AND LOOKING AT IT ALL. He told police that Jessie had confessed to him and that he said that he had just held the boys while the others killed them. For some reason, unknown to the public at least, Terry Hobbs was never questioned. 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. 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. We can assume this because of the 6:00/6:30 sighting from the service road. If Terry truly had bitten and stabbed Chris scrotum, it would explain perfectly the questions around Chris death. When questioned later by police, he claims that on the day of the murders he was heading out to meet up with Jesse Misskelley at his Lakeshore trailer but never met up with him. But again, why would turtles only be drawn to the left side of Stevies face and none of the other boys faces? According to Mark, Terry told him that the boys had been seen heading to the woods and that he was going to head down that way to look. Look what you made me do! David Jacoby was never interviewed either. One of them even went up and knocked on the door and spoke to Michaels sister, Dawn. I allege that Terry tied up one side of Stevie and then told either Buddy or LG to finish doing the other side. That he was still wearing the same clothes is very telling. Would project a macho, heterosexual, in-control image. Upon the delivery, I saw Mr. Hobbs holding hands with the same man who he was at my house with on May 5, 1993. David Jacoby claims that Terry showed up and the two played guitar for an hour, which also doesnt add up when you know all the details. Personally? 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. (, In both Billy and Bennies statements, i.e. 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. AARON: IT SMELLED LIKE, IT SMELLED LIKE A CIGARETTE JUST GETTING LILT BUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT KIND, AARON: THEY UM, THEY WENT DOWN TO WATCH THOSE MEN AND. He had a history of crime and domestic violence, and he shot his brother-in-law, allegedly in self-defense. (Interestingly, Chris was referred to as the 3rd child in the alleged confessions. This theory supportsbothsides of the debate. If that is true, then that is more evidence to support Billys statements as being factual. Crime scene footage of the pile of boards. [2] Judge Brian S. Miller dismissed the case and subsequently ordered Hobbs to pay legal fees incurred by the singer in the amount of $17,590. It breaks my heart and I thought about it for 3 weeks straight after I got into the case. (Vickies interview 1993). The removal of the clothes was a very significant act. Especially considering how extremely rare it is for a victim to be tied in this manner. I think he knew it because he knew that Damien didnt really commit this murder and thats why he basically tells his aunt not to tell this lie. If Terry had been spotted driving around with LG by either the Moores, Byers or any policemen who might have been in the vicinity, that could have raised some difficult questions for Terry to answer. YOUVE SEEN THE CLUB HOUSE, VICKIE: UH-HUH (YES) I HAVE SEEN IT SEVERAL TIMES. When the boys were eventually discovered the next day, not only were they discovered hidden under water, but their clothes and bicycles had all been submerged as well. (Charlotte Bly interview). 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). CAN YOU EXPLAIN TO ME WHERE THE CLUB IS?AARON: ITS, ITS IN UH, ITS IN THOSE WOODS WHERE UH, WHERE THAT STOP SIGN IS AND ITSRIDGE: IS THE WOODS HAVE THEY GOT A NAME THEY CALL THEM ROBIN HOOD IS THAT RIGHT?AARON: UH-HUH (YES)RIDGE: IT IS OKAY, YOUVE BEEN DOWN THERE BEFORE?AARON: YES SIRRIDGE: DO YOU GO DOWN THERE A LOT?AARON: (inaudible)RIDGE: OKAY, WHEN YOU WENT DOWN THERE WHO ALL WENT WITH YOU MOST THE TIME?AARON: MICHAEL AND CHRISRIDGE: OKAY, AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU WENT DOWN THERE?AARON: WE PLAYEDRIDGE: OKAY, DID YOU EVERAARON: AND THEN SOMETIMES WE WATCHED THESE MENRIDGE: THESE MEN. 9pm at night, and according to her, he was wearing a white shirt and tie. VICKIE: UM, JUST SOME BOARDS, LOOKED LIKE SOME ONE HAD LIKE MADE A DEER STAND, A LONG TIME AGO OR SOMETHING AND JUST SOME BOARDS AND THEY KINDA HAD YOU KNOW LIKE A FORTRIDGE: OKAY, AND WERE THEY NAILED ONTO THE TREE OR COULD YOU TELL THAT? Chris Byers brother and others also confirmed that the boys played in those woods very often and the very first statements made by both Aaron and Vickie were that Aaron and the boys played in those woods and secretly watched men engage in sex. AARON: ITS, ITS IN UH, ITS IN THOSE WOODS WHERE UH, WHERE THAT STOP SIGN IS AND ITS. In my opinion, it shows that this theory is actually exactly what happened. First of all, she claims that her husband, her three children and her sons girlfriend were all in the car that night and two of her children even testified in court about the sighting. 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. What really stands out to me, is that farmers and hunters use this method of tying a hog arm to leg in a method called hobbling. The murders still haunt me and I will ALWAYS want justice for Stevie, Michael & Christopher. 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. Todd Moore, father of victim Michael Moore, found the evidence against Hobbs unpersuasive. On Nov. 6 police in Memphis responded to a call that someone had been shot at 4460 Kerwin St., the home of Pamela and Terry Hobbs. Stevie would have then gone home, eaten some dinner and asked if he could continue playing with Chris and Michael. He then told the others that all three had to die for what they had seen. RIDGE DO YOU REMEMBER THAT DAY ON THE 5TH, DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT YOU DID THAT DAY? On the right side, it appeared as if he had been hit with something that was flat. If he was correct about the drug dealer, he could have correct about the other allegations. RIDGE: DID YOU EVER SMELL THE SMOKE? His father, Joe Dean Hobbs, was a minister at the Apostolic Pentecost Church. RIDGE WHO WERE WORKING IN CONSTRUCTION WORK? He flipped flopped between being at home with his mother and being at his friend Richards house from 5:30-9pm. More specifically, turtles had bitten and clawed at Chris penis and scrotum as he lay for 18 hours in a muddy, watery ditch. Ill let you be the judge. I have a theory about what weapon it could have been. Anyone who has owned a dog, knows how dogs will lick blood clean in a matter of minutes. I believe that their bias came into play when they claimed that, just like they claimed Chris drowned even though they admitted he died before he was put in the water! Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of eight-year-old victim Stevie Branch, has been named in documents released in Marian, Arkansas by the attorneys for Pam Hobbs, Stevie's mother. I allege that LG was confronted by his parents because of some evidence that pointed to his guilt, and when caught, LG told them that Damien had committed the murder and he that had only helped them in some small way. Either way, either one or two of the perpetrators decided it was necessary to actually get into the water to submerge the boys. Additionally, there is an ample amount of evidence, in my opinion, that Terry might have sexually abused all of his children. "It's my. What is stranger, and in complete contrast to what was previously said, David also claims that he and Terry were out searching the streets for Stevie before dark. With advancements in DNA testing, hopefully we will soon know exactly whose DNA this very small sample belongs to. Its my personal opinion that the evidence presented here should put all debates to rest because both sides have at least some truth in their corner. VICKIE: UM, JUST SOME BOARDS, LOOKED LIKE SOME ONE HAD LIKE MADE A DEER STAND, A LONG TIME AGO OR SOMETHING AND JUST SOME BOARDS AND THEY KINDA HAD YOU KNOW LIKE A FORT. If she really didnotsee Damien on the road that night (which shedidnt) why was shesosure that Damien was not with his mother? The act of tying up three unconscious boys who were near death at this point, was clearly an unnecessary act. They did not have the ability to do an in depth search on the 5th because darkness was approaching. 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. What they discovered was a very organized, catalogued and intact body of evidence, a group working on the case previously wrote. RIDGE: OKAY. Friday, January 20th 2012. 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? Douglas believes the act was meant to dominate, control, humiliate and punish. WE ALWAYS GOT A PLACE TO HIDE BEFORE THEY CAN GET THERERIDGE: WHERE DID YOU HIDE?AARON: WE HIDE ONE TIME WE HIDE BEHIND UM A TREE. Dana Moore was there the entire time; she never left. The reason for this is that is that there is an abundance of evidence that shows the three are innocent and at the same time, there is some circumstantial evidence that shows they may be guilty. RIDGE: OKAY, ALRIGHT. In my assessment, it speaks volumes to the guilt of Terry Hobbs that the children were tied up in the same manner as hogs being prepared for transport and that two of the children were tied up using square knots and figure eight knots, the same knots used by farmers and butchers. The question whether the mark on Stevies left eyebrow is a bite mark or not has been the subject of great debate by experts and followers of the case for years. I dont feel it was an actualclubhouse. HES NEVER SEEN THEMRIDGE: OH, OKAYAARON: CAUSE IT WAS ON A FRIDAY WHENEVER HE WENT DOWN THERE WITH USRIDGE: DID YOU EVER TELL ANYDODY ABOUT IT?AARON: HU-UH (NO)RIDGE: WHY? Humiliation is a strong word and punishment for the situation. Further, I have another theory why the crime scene appeared so clean. With what we know about Stevie and how much he feared Terry, it seems impossible that Stevie would have been the child who kicked Terry. : the alleged confessions of both Buddy and LG, Terry saw the boys spying and ordered the other three men to catch them. After Terrys attack on Michael, I believe Terry left him on the ground unconscious. To add further suspicion, LGs cousin, Domini lived within a five minute walk from Richards house. 4:50 Terry takes Pam to work but first drives by the Moores looking for Stevie who did not come home by 4:30. It is clear to many experts that the left side of Stevies face had been bitten by turtles. i.e: wrestle. HE TOLD THE REST OF THE MEN TO HOLD THEM OR SOMETHING AND PROBABLY DID IT. Ive been trying to bridge what Peretti said happened with what the defense experts said. Im not sure if that rumor is true or not, but I do believe TH may have done it & DJ knew about it. BLY BUDDY UM, LEFT A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THE KIDS GOT KILLED AND SHE SAID, HE DIDNT COME BACK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. There is both an interview and an affidavit signed by Jacoby and neither of those mention anything about Terry propositioning him. And the reason he was never questioned was because being a dude who was into dick in Arkansas in the 90s wasn't okayespecially among cops. If they had focused on what the evidence at the crime scene really revealed, in addition to the details from Aarons interview, they would have been looking for a male or males who knew the victims well, were rumored or known homosexual or bisexual men approximately aged from 20-30 years old, and a person(s) who was free to frequent the woods in the afternoons from 5pm- 8pm at night, Monday -Thursday. The Blue Beacon Woods was connected to the Robin Hood Hills which was the last place the three boys had been spotted on the night of the 5th. In part 3, when suing Natalie Maines, he said he wanted The Dixie Chicks to be "humiliated" as punishment when asked what he really wanted out of the lawsuit. Buddy told them that Billy Stewart was holding weed at that time. Then he changes his story again and said that Narlene did give him a ride home around this time. My belief is that these items were used in the clean up. And, strangely enough, LGs alleged confession also show that the first boy (Michael) was hit with force two or three times, supporting both the autopsy and what is seen from the autopsy photos. Terry was born in Northern Arkansas and grew up in the Ozark Mountain region of the state. That leaves many years unaccounted for. 9pm the night of the 5th so we need to theorize what may have happened because he has no alibi. http://callahan.8k.com/pdf/de_dnamotion3_30_11.pdf. Now why would Narlene go to such lengths to lie and basically accuse her niece and her neices boyfriend of murder? TH & DJ supposedly killed the boys so they wouldnt snitch on them. If anyone might know where the boys were going or what their plans had been for that day, it would most likely have been Aaron.
