In 1993, three eight-year-old boys were brutally murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas. Within weeks, three teenagers were arrested and convicted based on a false confession and community hysteria about satanic ritual abuse. But what if the real killer has been hiding in plain sight for thirty years?

Join host Carman as we dive deep into the criminal psychology behind one of America's most notorious wrongful convictions. This isn't just a story about three innocent teenagers who lost decades of their lives—it's an examination of how confirmation bias, moral panic, and false memory can transform an entire community's understanding of truth itself.

What You'll Discover: 🔍 The real killer's psychological profile and why Christopher Byers was specifically targeted 🧠 How investigators' need for psychological comfort led them to ignore obvious evidence ⚖️ The intent analysis behind Jessie Misskelley's devastating false confession 🎭 Why prosecutorial ambition and judicial bias created the perfect storm for injustice 🔬 Breaking news: Current DNA testing that may finally identify the real killer in 2025

Intent. It's what separates accident from murder, passion from premeditation, justice from revenge. In the West Memphis Three case, understanding intent reveals how the most dangerous lies are often the ones we tell ourselves.
