The mother’s reaction to finding out her son was died broke my heart. You could hear pure pain in her sobs. I couldn’t imagine how she felt I feel so sorry for all the family and the three boys
Poisonous Jinx you could literally feel her pain 🥺
Yes it choked me up... I lost an infant to SIDS and I've never gotten over it, I wanted to die early on- lost everything including my sanity and hope and my older daughter (to her grandparents) & became homeless and a drug addict... God willing, I'm in a good place now (8 years later I have 2 yrs clean) and a loving fiance and a huge home, regaining my relationship with my living daughter, etc. My point is, if God taking my angel home with him threw me into despair and depression and hopelessness, idk WHAT I would have done if a person had stolen my baby's life and hurt her in the way these boys were hurt. Even all these years later, my prayers go out to that family, especially that momma... you NEVER get over something like that, you just...learn to carry on mindlessly like a robot performing programmed tasks :/
I definitely started to cry
Oooh La La Andrea i legit cried reading that that’s so amazing
I also cried at this part. Hugged my boy hard :'(
When the one mother broke down my heart just shattered. I couldn't even imagine getting that kind of news about my son.
Right?!? I burst into tears! Absolutely heartbreaking and unimaginable!!!
Me too it's so sad :(
Your sons dead lol their how do you feel
@@dylanwicklund5129 you're so funny!
Pams screams always crush me :(
You didn't even mention the mysterious man that came into Bojangles that night covered in blood with his pants wet and muddy up to his knees. Similar to how the police investigators' pants looked after they were in the drainage ditch searching for the boys. He came in and went straight into the ladies restroom. The manager of that Bojangles called the police but by the time an officer showed up, the man was gone. The officer didn't even come inside. She came to the drive thru window and the manager told her that the man had left blood smeared all over the wall in the restroom. He asked the officer if she was going to come inside to check it out and she said no. They did come back later and take samples of the blood that the man had smeared on the wall. Later, during Jason and Damien's trial, one of the defense lawyers asked an officer who was on the stand, if they had sent those blood samples off to be tested. The officer said no and when asked why they hadn't been tested, the officer said he lost the samples. Yeah, he "lost" them. That was a pretty significant piece of evidence, but they lost it? Yeah, bullshit!
exactly i think it was the bonangles guy. honestly at first i thought it was the step dad that acted like an absolute psychopath but as i get older i’m honestly not sure on it 🤷🏻♀️
😲😲😲
My God. I wonder if it could be Hobbs.
Bob ruff had a professional do a re-enactment on Mr. Bojangles from crime scene to Bojangles and the time frame didn't fit
Mr Bojangles had a cast on his arm . Each boy was hog tied with their own shoe laces , each had different style knots used to tie them up. How can a one armed man subdue 3 boys and tie each one with their own shoe laces using different knots?
I do admit back when I was all crazy into this case even before the movies came out in the beginning was like WTH?? Why aren’t we looking for Mr Bojangles.. then I learned of the other evidence.
Fibers from a robe in Jason Baldwins home and Damien Echols shirt worn that night were on the bodies.
Blue candle wax that was consistent from a blue candle in Damien Echols bedroom was on Chris Byers shirt.
the mother’s scream makes you realize how painful cases like this really are for the families. it’s horrible.
You are the real deal. The fact that you don't insert gory photos, and just focus on the facts. You are seriously awesome and CZcams is lucky to have you.
That mother's cry and fainting...just broke my heart for her. I'm a mother and I cannot imagine that pain. Lord.
I'm not even a mother yet but oh my God that made my heart broke into a million pieces
Right?! I burst into tears! Absolutely heartbreaking and unimaginable!!!
In the mid 70s when I was 9 years old I almost got kidnapped disappeared almost and one ofmy last thoughts before collapsing on my mother's porch was if I was taken I wanted my parents to know what had happened to me and I wanted them to be ok I had younger siblings This was before missing children faces were put on milkcartons There wasn't good public awareness back then and confusion about the type of person that might do this kids. But something about my parents never knowing possibly really upset .I was lucky but not unchanged by experience. Some real justice for parents that suffers this kind of loss I will always pray for.
This case makes me so angry, my heart bleeds for all 6 of these boys, 3 taken by brutal murder and 3 that had the last of their childhood ripped away by a inept police department.
Melicious Mom I love this comment. It is so sad that these three innocent babies were killed but there were more than that as victims.
Melicious Mom no have you read the evidence that is against the WM3. Its way more then just three weird kids. It’s not a coincidence
Those 3 boys did it, you should go look at the evidence!
@@sophielou2929 I was obsessed after pl3 came out and read everything possible when everything, including the tapes of every interrogation, was still avaliable on the internet. They did not do it. No doubt about it. But it was the early 90s and so many people where scared of so called satanism. People belived that there where cults that made human sacrifices and other rituals, and kids with black clothes who listened to bands like metallica where an easy target to pin this on.
KingLicks those 3 boys did not do it ! I’ve looked at evidence! And it was 100% the step dad Hobbs !! He has the most evidence against him his dna was at the scene he had motive to do it and the boys would’ve trusted him ! The WM3 didn’t even know the boys like ! The cops and everyone else saw them as 3 boys who were apart of satanism and back then those types of people scared others ! And so they made it seem like it was them the cops have been proven and known to convince people to admit to doing a crime ! The WM3 are 100% innocent! Like I’m a Wiccan/witch but does that mean i should be burned at the stake because I’m a witch? no it doesn’t ! We’re good people ! People just have negative views on us !
So they use the Devil argument, but how many wicked people hide behind the name of Jesus?
Spot on.
I am a Christian. That said, I believe there are Christians that would drive Jesus out of the church.
It's about a Relationship not a Religion.
This question should have more likes !
🙌🏻 Exactly
There's another case on this channel of a child kidnapper and rapist that said he did it in the name of God. He was convicted even so and with good reason.
I have done alot of reading on this case ! Terry's wife said when she comes home . Terry had washed his clothes and cleaned a room in the house with bleach . This was outta the ordinary for him. She would get beat for not cleaning up and doing laundry. So everything had done been clean . The only clothes that he washed was what he had been wearing that day. There's so many other facts that aren't talked about . The small details were dismissed . There's so many experts and regular people who lied on the stand . There's so many stories about what happened the only that knows is the one who did it. The police work was non-existing and sloppy . The DA said as far as his concerned they have 3 confessions with the Alfred pleas . That's just crazy!
i started crying when the mother found out about her son :’(
Her cries sent chills down my spine
It's the most sincerest horrifying pain one can endure. That's what we heard. We heard someone literally die inside.
She said her son was scared of her husband Terry hobbs. Plus terry was last to be seen with the kids. Only dna was hobbs and his buddy. Hobbs refused give DNA sample. Hobbs also shot Pam's brother who later died from that gun shot
I couldn't breathe when I saw her staring to fall
@@kaylamckearin4584 noticed Terry hobbs sat by police car. I think he wanted to be protected from mob of that crime scene had his name on it. And it did but wasnt until years later
"Innocent until proven guilty" is something that needs to stop being ignored by police
These days, I think the justice system’s view seems to be “Guilty until proven innocent.”
@@cappieivey5349 Sorry, its a pet peeve. Innocent UNLESS proven guilty. 'until' presupposes guilt. Sorry. Don't tear me to shreds?!
Sorry, its a pet peeve. Innocent UNLESS proven guilty. 'until' presupposes guilt. Sorry. Don't tear me to shreds?!
I didn't mean to address CappyIvey. Didn't know it worked that way. Not use to posting. Sorry
@@LilyRose1002 Noob
4 years late to the party, nobody will ever see this...BUT I think it's important to note that Echols hasn't stopped seeking justice for the REAL killers since he got out of prison. His lawyers have been tirelessly pushing to retest DNA evidence found at the crime scene with newer methods than were available in the 1990's. IF he were guilty, would he really do this? Would he not just slink off and enjoy his freedom? He certainly wouldn't take any chances of further confirming his guilt! I think these three can safely be taken off the list of those who could have done it.
Yeah, and OJ is still looking for the real killer.
Echols wasn't the one pushing for DNA testing, it was Bob ruff and his followers. Why only test one set of ligatures? There are semen stains that could be tested. A known DNA source. His attorneys would have requested that to be tested if they really wanted the truth.
They are guilty. The cops that arrested them knew 100 percent it was them, they are disgusted with depp and co.
Thank you. It's important for him to prove he didn't do it. It's all so very heartbreaking.
The confession was after 12 hours of inter. Not a few hours...
It is about 3 beautiful young boy's who's lives were taken way to soon. But it is also about 3 young men who was wrongfully convicted and had their lives taken away from them they spent years in jail for a crime they didn't commit and those are years they will never get back. I think it's sad that they never looked for anyone else that could have done this.
I agree. There was no justice served whatsoever. I follow Damien Echols on CZcams and IG and a couple of days ago he posted on IG about how he asked for the blood evidence to be DNA tested on the case (to hopefully find the real killer) and the prosecution said it was lost. These three 8 year old's might never get justice and it's disgusting.
That mother losing it made me cry. That was awful.
It was so heartbreaking! The whole thing is !
It did me as well
It did me too. So horrible.
Is it weird I felt excited after she flipped out
My heart broke when I saw the poor mom.
As a mother of 5 little boys.. my heart broke seeing his mother on the floor screaming! Definitely made me shed some tears .
Yes! I have two boys, and watching her made me sob. The thought of what she was going through is unimaginable!
I don’t have children, but it made me cry. I can’t imagine that kind of loss.
I agree, that's so sad. I'm not a mother but her pain was obvious. She was probably emotionally destroyed
It gave me chills, watching any mother lose their child is awful. I can't imagine losing my son.
Hugs****
Same
I have 3 sons. Seeing that mother just collapse absolutely crushed me. I’ve been crying through this entire video. I cannot imagine the type of monster who would do this to young children. This is the only case you’ve covered where I’ve actually sobbed. This is horrific.
The mother breaking down is really the worst thing I have ever seen. That amount of pain is incomprehensible
over 40 mins lol its my holiday present to all of you lol
Kendall Rae thanks!!
Kendall Rae you’re the best!❤️
Perfect way to end my Thursday night!
Wow I just noticed it’s 40 mins lol thank u
Hell yes
The video of the mom fainting gave me chills. I can't even manage what that kind of pain feels like
I know. Poor thing 😢 That's part of the reason I don't want to become a mother.
Me too it really broke my heart
Same, I cried for her. I just can't imagine. 💔
Same here, I had to look away.😩
I can. I lost my mum two years ago and she left this earth too young. When my brother rang to say she was dying I had an absolute fit on the bus and then in the street. At her funeral I had to get my best friend and husband to hold me up. I was permanently close to fainting all through her wake, removal, funeral, and burial. I actually developed PTSD symptoms from the removal in particular.
I started watching making a murderer and the innocence files, I was appalled at how often people are being coerced into confessing and only come up with answers that they are obviously spoon fed, it's insane!
It's insane you think that!
@@BadderSanta it’s not insane. What’s insane is how these corrupt police officers force so many false confessions. Now that’s insane.
@@SlayerGirl18 lmfao
You're literally saying what every con in prison says
Congratulations
You're IQ is low enough to qualify for permanent disability
Innocence fraud you mean
Netflix doco’s are fairy tales
I am literally obsessed with this case. I’ve watched all three parts of the HBO documentary I don’t know how many times. It what got me so interested in true crime. It also got me interested in helping with the innocence project.
PS- so happy I found your channel, it fuels my true crime heart.
I had to pause the video for a second after hearing the mother crying to compose myself. THAT is 100% sheer pain.. I'm not a mother what so ever. But I lost my dad at young age, and that is the same shriek that came out when we were told he had passed. Its the worlds most awful feeling... it broke my heart hearing it.
Same, my father passed when I was 14, that same shriek came out on his funeral...5 years later I still cannot believe it
I totally agree with you. I lost my dad in 08 n still not over it. I felt exactly what u felt . My world just came crashing down n my mom in 2015. 💔
@@2slick4bs sorry for your loss 💛
Same here, it was too painful to hear her cry 😢
Rip to the kids may they Rest In Peace 💔🙏🏻
Beauty H. "Rest in peace to the kids may they rest in peace"
Ok but Kendalls eyes are✨Gorgeous✨
Kendall, thank you so much for being respectful of your viewers and not putting in video of their bodies or very graphic content. It’s also very respectful for the families of these poor children. I love your channel and the things that you do for victims. Much respect.
My heart dropped when I saw the mom faint...:'''( I'm a new mom and this is the scariest thing I can POSSIBLY think of. The anxiety I get to just imagine something like this happening to my beautiful angel. I love my son more than my life and I hug him and tell him everyday that I love him even though he can't understand me yet. I'm keeping an eye on him when he gets older. Thank you lord for my beautiful angel.
her reaction to her son being dead; the way she just completely collapsed and screamed in agony hit me so hard. this is absolutely heartbreaking.
LUNA. That part made me tear up. I can’t even imagine that pain.
LUNA. I started tearing up 😥😥
Most people think it's her husband that did it too, which makes it even worse!
Omg yes absolutely awful, you can’t even imagine the pain :(
Have some dignity. Displays in public like this are gratuitous. Pull yourself together you have other children 👶
One of them had a rock solid alibi. The same one who confessed and implicated the other two. How do you just ignore that? That one piece of evidence should have trumped all the rest, at least in Jessie's case.
None of them had a real alibi. Everyone was debunked.
Wasn't one of them at a wrestling meet?
@@ErinJeanette From what I read, they produced a photo of them at a wrestling meet from a previous month's match, trying to pass it off as more current and pretty much no one could confirm they were in attendance the night of the murders.
@@Hannah-gx4vq West of Memphis goes into detail. His friends testified and had a rock solid alibi saying they all went to a wrestling match that night and were gone at the time this tragedy occured. Damien also had an alibi, with a female friend of his and Jasons' having called them that night, and both boys were playing video games at either ones' house at the time of the crime. The woman also provided phone records to prove it too. The state lied heavily and altered many documents, it's actually alarming how badly they lied.
It turned out that there wasn't even a wrestling match the night the boys were killed. The match that Jessie was seen was on a different date.
I remember watching Paradise Lost on HBO as a kid and I was so traumatized to learned that these boys died in such a horrific way. I was their age when I watched the program, so it definitely hit me in a different way
Please Talk About The 43 Students That Went Missing In Mexico.
Lyle Benzo that is mess up
Lyle Benzo , You do realize that police officers and the bus companies tolerated them taking the buses. It's a tradition in which they drive to Mexico City to commemorate the anniversary of the Tlatelolco Massacre, and they've been doing it for years.
Yes Please talk about this case!!!
Tessa Hewitt yes omg please kendall!
Yess please talk about this
41 minutes ?! Damn, gotta get me some popcorn and get comfortable
I like the way you think!!
Liz S lol I like cheddar popcorn or plain butter popcorn the best.
Armyyyy
buttered popcorn all the way!
Liz S Army!
So Hobbs DNA was found tied up with the shoelace with one of the boys? That’s a slam dunk.
And not his sons either. So....how does that happen unless you did it?
It was mtDNA. If it was his DNA it still would not be a slam dunk.
But isn’t he the step father?
@@csm4082 Yes.
Viva Frida so that would explain how his hair was on his stop son.
I couldn't imagine hearing that one of my babies is dead...my heart is absolutely breaking for every mama out there who's has to hear such devastating news. Lord comfort them.
Over 40 min?! WE'RE BLESSED BOIZ
Mila Gibson ikr!
I didn’t even realize 😱I was so into it
Oh my god. When I heard Pam Hobbs’ screaming/crying after she found out about Stevie. I’ve never been instantly brought to tears by a sound made by another human being like that. It’s such a horrific, visceral thing, hearing a mother who realized her baby was killed.
Agreed
Same. It gave me chills
Ya its sad she lost her son
Same. I had same reaction
It was absolutely heartbreaking when I seen her fall to the ground and scream in agony. 💔
I just starting watching Kendall last year & this is the 1st time I've seen one of her years old video. You can definitely see how far she's come with production. I really enjoy her material ❤
I live in West Memphis, Ar and this case has baffled us for years. Thank you for sharing!❤
That scream from the mother. Killed my soul 😭 broke my fucking heart. Oh I would never want to hear that news ever I couldn’t imagine
not to get off the subject but i love your name. anyhow, i lost a child and it is terrible. i could not imagine lossing a child in this manner, homicide is the worse of the worse.
Those poor parents...still no justice for their children or peace of mind. And it got turned into a media circus. Its embarrassing that the police dropped the ball so badly for these lost lives
it is so sad to think of the lack of justice and closure for the families, and beyond that that three more innocent boys almost had their lives taken by the system because of the police work.
Hayley G they are guilty as sin. do sone more reserch rather then watching one documentary series....
Poor parents? What about the WM3 who were wrongfully convicted and spent decades in jail?!
They now believe Its was one of dad's doing Steve step dad I should say
i’m only about 6 minutes into the video but the moms screams and sobs after she heard that her son was gone just shattered my heart. i think at the end of that clip she says “wake me up” asking to be woken up from this nightmare. i can’t imagine that feeling of losing your child. i’ve lost a parent and a couple other close family members but if/when i ever have kids i hope i don’t have to go through that pain of losing them.
I have already watched this episode once. I had to stop it mid-video. I couldn't do it again. I am so so sorry for those sweet three boys. My prayers with the family.
40 minute kendall video... I'm so happy right now
leetah Literally same 😂
That cry...my heart hurts for her. 😔
Miss B I got shivers at that part 😓
I cannot even imagine...
Ahhh the screams of a mother in pain are just so heart breaking. I pray I never have to know that pain. My heart goes out to these families ❤️😭
Thanks so much for being respectful for the family's, in not showing the boys after their death. I can't imagine what their parents went through. This is so sad. My condolences. God bless...🥺🥺🥺
Hey Kendall! Recently a teen Dutch model (ivana smit) fell to her death in Malaysia. The police ruled it as sudden death but the family suspects foul play. However we will never know if they will get justice due to the corrupted government in Malaysia. Pls make a video about this case as it'll bring awareness and the parents are also raising money to hire investigators from the Netherlands and America. I'd really appreciate it thumbs up so that she can see this 💕
Mansheel Kaur i never heared of it?
Are u dutch too?
Xx
No I'm from Malaysia 😊
yes please do this!! absolutely sad :((
It sounds like a British PI is investigating. Also, looks as though she was in an American's house in Malaysia, a swingers club of sorts. Huh, I don't know, that is definitely an odd story though. She falls naked fourteen floors? Some freaky stuff.
I think there were more cases like that, with young girls who were modeling in a foreign country and “suddenly” died
I think its so lovely that you don't put graphic content in your video's and that you warn people about it. I just think its really respectful of us and the poor young victims. 💖
Yes, definitely! I cannot even begin to comprehend the feelings of shock and hurt they must be experiencing :/
For sure! It was a little bit upsetting that the bodies were shown in the first 2 minutes of the Paradise Lost documentary. If you want to brave it, go ahead - i’m really sensitive to this kind of thing too but the bodies didn’t bother me too much, as in most of the shots they were either extremely zoomed out or facing away from the camera with no visible marks (just very pale). The shot that did show a face (Stevie Branch) was pretty horrible as he was obviously pained, but it is quite blurry. It’s definitely worth braving through if you’re of the opinion that the three men are innocent (they do show a close up of Moore’s face from the autopsy near the end, sorry I can’t remember when - it’s one of the photos the police showed Misskelley to try and scare him into a confession), it’s a brilliant documentary that changed the judicial system forever :)
smiis Thank you so much for being very informative and for the heads up! 😊 I am extremely interested in this case...coming from the UK I had never heard of it before so I am really wanting to research more and watch 'Paradise Lost' I am very squeamish about bodies (I learn't my lesson looking at The Black Dahlia case. That is very interesting, but the pictures are very graphic). But I suppose that is something we have to somehow deal with when we have an interest in crime cases and investigations. Still I think its lovely of Kendall to be very sympathetic about things like that, and thank you for giving me an idea on what to expect. It makes me feel a little less anxious...so I really do appreciate it ☺
No worries, tell me how it goes! :) I only heard about this case pretty recently, but I swear in the past month I've watched and read everything made about this case, I'm just infatuated with it for some reason. Coincidentally I only saw the Black Dahlia face photo for the first time a few days, that was pretty horrifying. One of the boy's faces in this case is messed up really badly, and it's not shown in any documentaries because of that :)
Probably the best documentary I've watched on the case is called West of Memphis. It shows graphic photos more often than the Paradise Lost trilogy, but it's absolutely brilliant and stays more unbiased than other films. Also gives a lot of evidence proving Terry Hobbs is guilty. It's on Netflix, it's HD, and it's the most high quality film out of all of them as it was released in 2012. i'd definitely give it a go!
I don't know if you are around or not but I just wanted to let you know that I got around to watching the first part of Paradise Lost today. The bodies were horrifying and sad to look at, definitely something which will stay with me all of my life, but I think it's better to be aware of the boy's story instead of treating them as if nothing happened. My head is super blagged from all the information and greyness of the case but I'm about 99 percent sure Terry Hobbs did it, and I really don't think the boys did it. I just think they were unique individuals in a very narrowminded small community, all with troubling backgrounds and this just allowed people to paint a bias picture of them doing it without any real evidence. But I plan to watch West of Memphis next and read books on the case too. It's very interesting, but god my heart hurts for those poor children :/ I hope you are well!
I really appreciate that you give the facts. You don’t try to push your viewers to only see one thing, you encourage us to see ALL of the information.
Having been born in 1992 in a town literally 20 minutes from there, we all knew about this and we still talk about it to this day. It terrified parents all around.
I’m not easily triggered, but the video of the Mom finding out will give me nightmares. I can’t imagine the pain, and heartbreak those parents had to endure!
Mollie Devenbaugh yess totally agree!!! It immediately made my chest hurt 😔
I got shivers and I started crying her screams literally shook me
me too i really don't get upseted often but this made my heart hurt how terrible :((
One of the most interesting cases I've ever come across. I met Damien a few years back at his book signing after he got released and he was one of the nicest people I've ever met. He talked about everything at the signing and answered a ton of questions and I just truly never believed him, Jessie, or Jason had anything to do with those boy's deaths. I very much appreciate the 40 minutes long video for this case, it deserves it. Okay, now to grab a snack and finish your video ❤️
But where are their alibis? What about the people who they contacted to be their alibis, who denied being with them at the time of the murders? Why did they confess? Why did their story change and explanations not add up? Why 3 different knots? What about the bottle of whiskey that Misskelley confessed to drinking and disposing of, which was found confirming his confession?
I’m new to this case and there is a lot of information and different aspects to look at it from. But from an outsiders perspective, a lot seems to point to the wm3 as the murderers. Narcissists and pathological liars tend to be very charming, it doesn’t surprise me that one could fool a following of people to believe their innocence.
beth M Jason wasn’t even in town during the murders. He was at a wrestling competition. They just ignored evidence.
I am obsessed with your channel 💕
DEVIL DOESNT SHOW HIS TRUE COLOURS RIGHT AWAY
I met Jason Baldwin in October and he was really nice too!
This is a really great case to stress the importance of not talking to the police without an attorney with you. You are well within your rights to say nothing except "I would like an attorney" until you get one. That being said, I think... I think Hobbs did it. Or at least had something to do with it.
Another case of gross misconduct by the police. Our law enforcement is a joke.
The fbi puts out a report yearly. I’m going to be fair here and report the percentage of cases “charged” (you can imagine how many never get convicted off the charges) but only 60% of murders even see someone charged. That’s a percentage for the entire us. Police are a joke. They don’t protect or serve.
This case is so incredibly sad. My heart goes out to the parents and the families of the murdered children. I also, feel so hurt for the mishandling of the case by the police department that led to a modern day witch hunt due to fear and the desperation to have someone be held accountable for the heinous crime. It was handled so poorly that no one even knows of the truth at this point. Thank you for the unbiased coverage of the story Kendall, as always your class of handling such a terrible crime is appreciated.
I really wish they would have taken the mom somewhere more private in order to break this news. No one should have to take on that news on a public street with onlookers. I don't think it would have been that difficult to ask her to go inside for a minute so they could go over something. Idk. Maybe I'm overreacting, I just think it would have been much more respectful and considerate of her poor heart 💔
Agreed, I thought it was super insensitive to tell her right there
Agreed! That police dep was shit
I agree, I think the people tryna hold her up were tryna lead her somewhere private for her own sake but her reaction had already been caught, my heart breaks for her! 😰
I suppose that she might have insisted that they tell her right then and there. It still seems like they should have insisted that she at least sit down, though.
I agree with you. The police should not have told her in front of all those people and cameras. That seemed so cruel!
how have i never heard of this one before?! it angers me so much how the police look past so much evidence..
keep up the amazing videos!
Gee Box yeah me neither. Great video. Its so sad how easy wrong people without evidence are concicted for death or life..
Or kids who are tried as adults..
Reading stephen king is not a reason. Mentally ill is not evidence.
Gee Box probably because of how old it is, a lot of younger people haven't heard of it. This is one of the saddest cases all around imo! I've seen all of the movies, and so much coverage of this case, but I still get speechless every time I see or hear anything about it. I've always thought the stepfather was shady and very questionable, he always just looks like he knows something.
Gee Box a lot of evidence isn't "valid" so a lot of the time police can not use it if they did it would have been thrown out sadly .
Lol there is a lot of evidence that’s still not being brought up though
Gee Box I watched Devils Knots on this movie as soon as I saw the movie I did not think Damien or any of the others were involved. He was misunderstood for the way he dressed and how he worshipped things. I knew the step Father had something to do with it right away.
I was really hoping you had covered this case. Thank you! 💕💕💕
The Mother’s wailing cry is so haunting...I pray for her to have peace. This is so sad beyond words. 😭😭
i really appreciate that you don't insert photos of the dead
I really appreciate that as well.
Cassie Lee I mean same
It’s disrespectful
I agree. It is a show of empathy and respect.
Yes, I do too. I've seen too many. I don't need to see anymore.
Going on the idea that Hobbs killed all three boys. Maybe he had two of the boys tie eachother up and he tied up the third one. They were scouts and would have known how to tie knots. This would explain why there were three different types of knots tied. This would also explain why Hobbs' hair was only found in the knots of one victim and not all three.
Anna Lazrak you could tie someone up without getting your hair in the knot. it just so happened that his hair had fallen off and gotten tied up in the knot, or his hair had gotten caught in the knot somehow. as far as tying them up goes, he could have easily tied them up after he killed them. just a theory!
If two boys tied each other up, how would the one tied up first be able to tie the other one. That makes no sense
It works if A tied up B, C tied up A and killer tied up C. Not using the boys the names cos it’s just a theory to go with Anna
That makes so much since
Hahahahha, nice logic
Thank you!! This is the 1st video where someone finally explains about Damian and his history of depression, etc
As a mother, when I heard that mom sob, I sobbed. I can't imagine. My heart goes to their mamas
Can you do '43 Missing Students in Mexico?'
L. Kulina please!
Yes!
Someone always comments this and she always seems to pass or it ignore 😪 or possibly not enough information for her to say what might've happened
I just commented the same! Hopefully she does a video. I personally am from Guerrero 😞
Chelsea Campos i am from los cabos! (Baja california sur) when it happened we did a big march here to uploaded to social media
I will always have incredible respect for Jason Baldwin. They came to him roughly every 10 years offering him deals if he would testify against Damien but he refused every time because he knew they were innocent and refused to turn on his best friend even if it meant he got set free. He wanted to turn down the alford plea but ultimately took it to save Damien's life. That is the definition of integrity.
A true ride-or-die. Everyone deserves a Jason in their life.
very well said.
very well said
That's a true mfing friend
Dude I can see in his eyes Terry Hobbs did this. its written all over his face. Why is he not in jail
I cant imagine how this must feel for those families. My heart goes out to them and those boys. Whatever religion they believed in, i hope they are resting in peace
Thank you so much for showing so much respect for victims and their families. So many journalists would jump at the chance to show something shocking like dead bodies to get views, without any consideration for the families.
Kendall’s outfit reminds me of that iconic™️ picture of The Rock with the fanny pack 😂
baby mon i can’t unsee it now omg 😂😂😂
oops!! 😂
Why did I read this comment. Coz I can’t get that pic out of my head 😂
VIP X ARMY oops!! Sorry 😂😂😂 dont know why i thought of that 😂
LOL
Watching that mother find out her son was dead broke my entire soul. As a mother, I cannot fathom anything happening to my son, let alone him being murdered. My god. 😭
Hi! New to your channel and already obsessed! Thanks for all the work you put in.
I had a small role in Devil’s Knot, another film about the West Memphis 3. My mom was sitting in the viewing village with Damien and his partner while I filmed. She said Damien was very nice but mostly quiet while his partner chatted with my mom. I remember thinking that it must have been hard for him to watch us re-enacting the events that led to his incarceration.
My entire heart goes out to the mothers of these children. I cannot fathom what I would do if I ever lose my girl. 😢
I hope none of you get arrested, but if you do, in comment to coerced confessions, DO NOT TALK TO POLICE/DETECTIVES. ASK FOR A LAWYER AND SAY YOU WILL NOT SPEAK ANYMORE WITHOUT A LAWYER. In the United States. I'm not even talking about this case, just false confessions. You need a lawyer immediately, no matter the crime.
I have a 4 month old and after becoming a mom, let me just say, stories like this FUCK ME UP. Make me never want to let him out of my sight!!
Emily Burns IKR.
Emily Burns Same here girl
Emily Burns I’m a nanny who often gets labeled at the park as the “helicopter parent” so my future kids are never leaving the house after watching this 😂
Don't let him out of your sight. Seriously. I have 2 boys 9 and 3 and I make sure the oldest checks in with me or his Dad every 30 min and let us know where he is and what he's doing. You can never be too careful when it comes to your children
My son has NEVER played outside without me. Ever and never will. He is 11. I give him plenty of room and freedom to run around and play but fuck this shit is scary. So yeah he has never been outside without me. Which is sad if you think about how we used to,play outside all day as kids but this shitty world is just not safe at all!
When the mother found out her son had died I had to pause it and say a prayer to protect my unborn daughter at alllllll costs (I’m pregnant) soooo heartbreaking
Praying don’t protect anybody
@@queenofnyc5584 it does. You should try it
I couldn't finish the video. When I heard that Mother's scream when she learned about what happened to her baby, my heart broke. I have a son who is asleep next to me and I just can't imagine that happening to him or me being in that mother's place :(
That dude who volunteered his arm to get bit has a very special space in heaven
For real, I was not ready for that
God bless his soul
I don't understand why that was necessary for him to do that. Surely we already have pictures or videos of what the bite marks look like and even if that wasn't the case which I can't imagine, could they not have used pig flesh or something synthetic to show what the bite marks would be.
@@goblinbollocks2838 I think they wanted a human flesh was still living just to see what it would look like.
They could have used pig flesh
The mum fainting when she found out about her son was the exact reaction my mum had when she found out about my brother. My heart is broken.
I hope you and your family are healing
@@madison-fakharaalabaljamil3917 we constantly talk about him now, and my sons middle name is after my brother. He knows all about his amazing uncle
I'm so sorry you had to lose your brother early on in life. All my love to your family.
My mom did the same when she found out about my brother. My son also has my brothers name as his middle name. I’m so sorry your family had to go through that because I know that pain. 😔
My older brother was unarmed and shot by a police officer in front of my mom and myself. He was taken to the hospital but died before he got there. I remember My moms screams the entire night and was horrifying. I understand the pain your family must feel. Just letting you know you aren’t alone. I’m so sorry for your loss
I'm so relieved these men are free 😌 my heart hurts for these guys
I watched the movie “Devils Knot” and at first I thought the 3 did it but now I’m thinking that Terry Did it. The cops seemed kind of dirty. And the fact that his wife suspects him as well. Also the dna found on the bindings
Watch paradise lost there are 3 of them it mind blowing how sloppy the police investigation was
And evidence was just found at the police station! Terry might finally be brought to justice!!!
You put in so so so much work in all your videos and I love them all so so so much!! Thank you so much for continuing to post I'm vERY sure that lots of us appreciate it more than it could be put into words
Zoey Leve you're very pretty!!
Zoe Hannah AHHH omgg thank youuu ilyy
I agree with your comment and has girl you're stunning xox
*yas
Isobel Lake OH MY thank you so much♡♡
So glad you chose this case, I live in Little Rock and this something that I thought was only talked about here. Thank you for bringing it to a different platform
Brooklyn McCown this is definitely talked across Arkansas... I've heard it for years. I live in Jonesboro.
Miranda Gallegos I actually almost went to school in Jonesboro!
I live in Conway! First time I've ever heard about this.
I live in Manila!
I'm in Texarkana, moved here from north Louisiana. This case is the reason why my folks wouldn't let me play outside anymore, along with my sister and brother. I hated it then, but now I get it
I absolutely LOVE how you maintain the middle ground on everything keeping yourself out of the crossfire. That alone had me subscribe, but seriously great content. Im only 14 hours deep 🙄😅
Wow I remember this case. I had forgotten about it honestly. I even watched a documentary about this years ago. This has shed new light on things and people that should’ve been looked at.
The footage of the mom finding out about her son.....wow.
I hope they find justice. She now stands by the WM3
You are one of the best channels on here. Your content is always interesting and makes me aware of the world we're living in. Whether it's about extraterrestrials, real crime or conspiracy theories, it is always interesting and it always gives me something to think about. Please keep going! ❤️
Thank you!!! I will :)
Hi Kendell just wanted to say you really do this videos in such a respectful manner and I have mad respect for that ❤️ my day will not go by without watching your videos.❤️
The sound of a grieving mother is the most gut wrenching and heartbreaking thing to hear. You feel it.
girl it is so impressive how you can edit a 40 minute video.. I cant imagine how long that took
FOR REAL
TRUE
The fact that she pumped it out so quick with that message in the beginning is crazy
Yasss! A 10min video takes me like 4 hours at least. I'm not very skilled tho. It's mostly condensing an hour of footage into 10mins that takes the longest lol.
and how much space she must have on her computer
The fact that Damien spent 10 YEARS in solitairu confinement (esp after already being mentally vulnerable) makes me so upset 😭. The US justice system is so messed up. Why the hell isnt hobbs even being called after all this time?
Read his book life after death. So good. He talks about his experience and it’s heart breaking. He was beaten and raped so many times by prison guards it’s sickening. I get a sick feeling in my stomach. THIS CAN LITERALLY HAPPEN TO ANYBODY. so many people are convicted of murder because they are at the wrong place at the wrong time. I read about a case a guy was drinking and driving and went off the road. Called somebody to pick him up and left his trunk. About 100 feet away from his truck was a dead body of a stranger and they convicted him of it without a stitch of evidence just on the mere fact that his truck went off the road near the body. He has since been found innocent but shows how easy you can go fro
Living your life to spending the rest of it in prison for something you didn’t do.
+Lauren Behr
This is clearly someone who has spent time doing research and looking at both sides in order to come to a reasoned conclusion and is presenting their opinion in a calm, collected manner. It'd be a treat to see your 41 minuet video explaining your viewpoint.
Lauren Behr what happen with you? Why are you so violent? Sure you are a veteran's abuser. I'm calling the police!
Emily Gregoire thats horrible. Srry america is just not great at all.
Killing people or for donor money making laws killing freedom. No rights of healthcare or not to get shot by police its insane..
I shouldnt be shocked anymore after 911 biggest false flag but hearing these stories it still shocks me people say america is the best country ever.
Look at science. No trump people science is not a hoax.
Anyway they determined a scale of countries how happy people were etc.
Its in a ted talk.
America is i thought 47 orso..
Anyway. Great holidays. 🎄☄
inge smit The US is TRASH!!!!! Im so happy to be from the UK. Atleast we're treated like humans here
My heart just broke with the clip of the mom finding out 😭 can’t even imagine her pain.
I just heard about this case on TikTok and was hoping you’d have a video about this case. You always come through!
OMG A 40 MINUTE VIDEO. I'M SHOOK
TotalDramaFanatic i love the longer videos❤
my wig was literally snatched....
the sort of killer who did this is a sociopath, he's a social chameleon: looks like your nice neighbor, goes to church, is married and friendly but in the inside is a monster.
this is the profile of nearly all brutal serial killers. no way those rock and roll 17 years old teenagers could kill those children with such atrocity and perfection and leave no evidence behind them
Rekt Facts they could , however just because they can doesn’t mean they did
Rekt Facts that’s why I believe Terry Hobbs and some of his buddies did this
Cherish your children and always be make sure their safe 🥺
Loving these true crime deepdives, keep up the great work 👍🏻
The step father's look during that interview was just, he LOOKED guilty
I was thinking the same thing!! He seemed so weird
I thought the same thing! 😯
I genuinely thought he was gonna be one of the suspects
People have studied his body language (obviously experts in the subject) and they have said the same thing. Body language is hard to fake unless you are a true psychopath. I don’t think he is a psychopath because he has actually shown remorse for what he has done. I 100% think he did it. The mom of the boy who was married to terry actually left him after finding the little boy’s knife that he did not leave anywhere without. Even the day he was murdered. Pretty sure his grandparents gave it to him or something and his mom thought she would never see the pocket knife again. A few years later she fucking found the knife hidden in her attic in a bunch of terry’s things. They all think terry did it and still to this day express that feeling. The state will never ever ever ever charge him even if they have all the evidence in the world because they would owe the men that were in jail millions and millions in wrongful conviction. I truly believe they have more then enough evidence against terry but unfortunately it will never matter now. Damien actually directed a documentary as well and they have somebody that says they were at a friends house and overheard terry freaking out and crying about the fact that he killed those boys and didn’t mean to. Obviously this is just hearsay but it sounds legit. Pretty sure you can just look it up right on CZcams.
yeah omg his expression gave me chills
There was literally a man bloody and all muddy in the bathroom crying that day at a restaurant near where there dead Bodies were found. And they never tested the blood on the walls. Like that's what still grinds my gears with this case.
meow victoria 🤭
meow victoria its so sketchy. Whats his name?
Iqra Ahmed all the people said who were working that day , is he was an African American. And by the time the cops came. He was gone.
Don't think I'll ever forget the mother collapsing in shock. Heartbreaking x
The confession was good enough snd very telling! LOCK THEM BACK UP!!!
When the mom started screaming I got so upset and uncomfortable and started shaking a bit. I cant imagine my younger brother missing and my mom finding out he's dead, thats just horrible.
Katie Diane same, it was so upsetting I skipped forward 😥
I instantly started crying when I heard her. Poor woman, I couldn't imagine what she's gone through
😓😭😢
Me too.. I listen to these videos all the time during work, school, and just my day to day life because, like Kendall, I love cases and mysteries and law and crimes. It’s so interesting, and of course disturbing, to hear about investigations and crimes in my country and the suspects involved. I actually put this on while I was showering tonight and when t came to the mother’s part when she collapsed I just started crying.. it’s so heartbreaking and horrifying that absolutely no justice has been had for these boys
I got goosebumps 😢🤯😖
It makes me so mad that Terry Hobbs hasn't been investigated more. I truly believe he is involved somehow. I know people grieve differently, but showed absolutely NO emotion during that interview. He didn't even try to speak. This is just my opinion, but I think he only meant to kill his stepson, but since he was with friends, I think he killed them, too, to keep them from talking.
Terry definitely stands out as a suspect for sure!
He has had all of his teeth removed so they can't even use the bite marks as evidence
After all the researching I am gravitating towards it being Terry Hobbs too. It's mindblowing that he never got looked into or interviewed. I mean he has a past of being violent and attempting to sexually assault a woman. And the way the boys were found the crime has a sexually brutal element to it (the fact they were stripped and tied up). Although we don't know it's him for sure, he's a vile man at least.
Involved somehow? He did it. Terry Hobbs killed these boys. Mark Byers did not have anything to do with this. Obviously this is just my opinion and I respect anyone else's opinion in this case. Me personally, I believe it was Terry Hobbs, very likely with his friend, David Jacoby...
What makes me sad is the people that say that the WM3 were singled out because the dressed differently and acted a certain way are doing the exact same thing thing to Byers and Hobbs. Hobbs is a disgusting human being without a doubt but that doesn't mean he killed those boys.
I am not saying Hobbs didn't do it but it just blows my mind that they base it off a hair that MIGHT be his but it could also belong to anyone from 1.5 percent of the population and even if it was his it could have secondary transfer. The defence even said it isn't enough to say he did it and wasn't the smoking gun they were hoping for.
Also, he was seen by Michael Moore's mother and sister at 6.30pm on his driveway when she came by asking if her son was over there because she wanted him to come home for dinner. So Hobbs knew at this point that at least one person was out looking for them and decides to go and find and kill the boys despite knowing people were looking.
I'm not saying that he did or didn't do it but saying that he looks guilty is what people have been so outraged over in the first place with the WM3.
as someone who lives in Arkansas i am almost positive i have never heard of this case. your so good at explaining everything. you should do more Arkansas cases please 🙏🏻
I was 3 years old when this happened, living in west Memphis, just 5 minutes away from where this happened. My mom and dad were so worried about it that we ended up moving a couple months later.
