On May 5, 1993, three boys went missing in West Memphis, Arkansas. Police, family and friends searched all night for them. The next day, the bodies of the boys were found in a muddy creek. They were all hogtied with their shoelaces and they were stripped. One of the boys had mutilated genitals. During the 7 months, police narrowed down to three teenaged boys who were thought to be into satanism and believed that they killed the young boys as part of a ritual. In early 1994, all three teens were tried and convicted of first and second degree murder. One was sentenced to death and the others got life. Over the next 18 years, more evidence and people came forward. In the end, it was found that the three teens were wrongfully convicted for a crime that they did NOT commit. Police mishandled evidence and the Judge and jury were working with each other to convict the teens. New DNA technology also cleared the three as none of their DNA was found on the victims nor at the crime scene.
