On May 6,1993, the bodies of Michael Moore, Steve Branch, and Christopher Byers were found in a ditch located in a wooded area in their subdivision known as Robin Hood Hills All three boys had been reported missing by their parents on the evening of May 5, 1993. During the weeks that followed, the West Memphis Police Department received tips about several suspects, including multiple tips implicating Damien Echols, a local teenager who was known to brag about hsi occult practices, including blood drinking and graduating to human sacrafice. On June 3, 1993, detectives decided to question Jessie Miskelley, a 17 year old who was associated with Echols. After less than five hours of questioning, Miskelley gave a statement that implicated himself, Echols and another teenager, Jason Baldwin in the murders. Four months before a hearing to determine whether the three would be granted new trials based on claims of exclpatory evidence, attorneys for Echols, came up with a novel legal maneuver to secure their clients' release from prison. On August 19,2011, the three entered Alford pleas, which acknowledged that the state possessed sufficient evidence to convict them if new trials were granted.
