On May 6, 1993, three eight-year old boys were found murdered in a water-filled ditch in Robin Hood Hill in West Memphis, Arkansas. The town of West Memphis is terrified that someone who could do this is on the loose. As they begin their investigation, police get hung up on one possibility: a satanic cult was responsible.
In part two of this three part series, Kayley introduces the third member of the three, the police's newest and most unexpected (and unqualified) detective, and walks through how a seemingly coerced confession ends in a three way conviction.
