His alibi for the night of the murders was shaky (the friend he says he was with says he left for a while) and he acted strangely towards his wife when he went to pick her up from work, walking past her and not saying anything, just calling the police to report the boys missing. If we believe these statements by Aaron, which I think are very plausible, we have not only a motive for murder but the very basis for what might have occurred in those woods on May 5th, 1993. If anyone might know where the boys were going or what their plans had been for that day, it would most likely have been Aaron. My theory is that when Stevie saw Terry there, he was scared, very scared. Instead, defense attorneys say, the tests found DNA from Terry Hobbs, the stepfather of one of the murdered boys. Not only did Billy Stewart allege to have seen David and Terry kiss two different times, but he also claims to have delivered drugs to both men at a gay bar called J-Wags. Before Pam went to work she made a dinner of green beans and steak. What really stands out to me, is that farmers and hunters use this method of tying a hog arm to leg in a method called hobbling. Its when you combine all the known evidence, much of the debate and the different positions, it all leads here, to this. 8 A. 1. Is it merely a coincidence that Terry Hobbs was a former butcher and that he grew up working on his familys pig farm? THEY WERENT SCARED THAT MAYBE SOMEBODY HAD SEEN THEM IN THERE ONE DAY?AARON: UH-UH (NO), BECAUSE THEY NEVER SEEN US. 3 A. It also would make sense that Terry would carry shame, deep shame, if he were secretly homosexual. I will support each theory with known public evidence. RIDGE: DID YOU EVER SMELL THE SMOKE? He admits that they would go to the woods and hide either behind a tree or in their clubhouse, wait for a group of men to arrive, and then spy on them. He was most likely placed near the tree becase one of the perpetrators used the tree as support in order to enter the water. By the time Buddy would have been dropped off at Lakeshore and the other three arrived in West Memphis, it could have been somewhere around 8:15-8:30. I allege that one or all of them took the underwear and socks, wet them in the water and used them to wipe blood off themselves, off the board and any other weapons used in the murder, as well as to wipe up blood at the scene. If you're into dick as an adult, you're gonna find your community. Right as this happened, Terry, who was their neighbor, called to Stevie to come home. Dana Moore was there the entire time; she never left. This lends credibilty to the theory that Stevie did in fact go home, and even ate some dinner. Two of the childrens clothes were found inside out, implying that they were very quickly ripped off, and most likely ripped off of boys who were still moving. Not until it was learned that Terry was using Jacoby as an alibi and that a hair that was found at the crime scene turned out to be consistent with Davids DNA. The kind of men who do these things are, uh. I dont feel it was an actualclubhouse. Three boys were seen riding their bikes around the neighborhood of West Memphis, last seen heading to the Robin Hood Hill woods at 6:30. Whats equally puzzling is the fact that almost nothing about the two mens alibis is the same, yet they both claim to have been with each other. The most severe injury to Stevie came from being stomped on the back of the head and its very likely that this injury was the very last thing to happen to Stevie. What the ME failed to mention, however, is that a one time act of oral sex on a child is not going to cause enough injury to a childs penis to be noticeable. (Mountain Home, Arkansas - January 20, 2012) Terry Hobbs' nephew, Michael Hobbs Jr., allegedly told his friends "my uncle Terry murdered those three little boys," according to declarations under penalty of perjury recently given to Damien Echols' defense team. AND I SAID I DONT KNOW ILL BE GLAD TO GO GET HIM IF YOU THINK IT WILL HELP, IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE SAID I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. When police asked Dixie if the car that LG was spotted in was Richards, she too, vehemently denied it, stating that she knew Richards yellow car well, and this wasnt it. Buddy told them that Billy Stewart was holding weed at that time. We can assume this because of the 6:00/6:30 sighting from the service road. Again, Ill let you decide. In the autopsy reports, it was concluded that Michael was swiftly and violently attacked and was likely unconscious for almost the entire assault on the boys. David Jacoby, in an effort to catch one of the boys, fell and skinned his knee and also snapped in his frustration and hit one boy. RIDGE: OKAY. Michael was later stripped, perhaps so he would not stand out. I believe, that the ME was speaking of long term sexual abuse of a child. However, is it simply a coincidence that the statements that Aaron told police in 1993 coincide so perfectly with the alleged confessions that Buddy and LG made in 1994 and were later retold in 2012? Then, I believe the men left around 5:45 and headed out of West Memphis towards Lakeshore trailerpark where Terrys alleged drug dealer lived. DNA testing in 2007 has identified a hair fragment found on Michael Moore's bindings to be consistent with Hobbs. AARON: MICHAEL AND CHRIS SAID NOT TO TELL NOBODY, RIDGE: UM, DO YOU THINK THOSE MEN WERE CRAZY? One of the most vital components of this theory is whether LG and Buddy had alibis for this night. Jamie and her sister believe that this occurred at 6:30, while their mother believes that the boys were playing in her backyard somewhere between 5:30-6:30pm. Lastly, Stevie branch apparently told his cousin that Terry was molesting him and Amanda. That could be why Stevie had wounds to the face, while the other boys had wounds to their head. (source). David Jacoby lived on 17th between 14th and Ingram. As he tied up Michael, he further demonstrated to them how to tie up the others in the same consistent manner. VICKIE: IN MIDDLE AFTERNOONRIDGE: OKAY, AND WHAT DID YOU FIND WHEN YOU CAME TO THE AREA? The type of DNA testing utilized pertains to mtDNA. The manner in which they were tied also tells us about the crime and the perpetrator(s). In this letter, a man named Bennie Guy revealed that in 1994, two teens, Buddy Lucas and LG Hollingsworth had confessed to him that they had been involved in the murders with two other men, Terry Hobbs, stepfather to one of the murdered boys and David Jacoby, friend of Terry Hobbs. VICKIE: YES. Terry was born in Northern Arkansas and grew up in the Ozark Mountain region of the state. She drove him around that day to help him find a job. After doing so, they most likely would have walked down south in the ditch till the water was the deep enough and also not directly beside the crime scene. Hobbs, with the help of an author, put all that journaling into a book about the 1993 murders of his stepson Stevie Branch, and Branch's friends Michael Moore and Chris Byers. ALRIGHT DID CHRIS AND MICHAEL DID THEY TELL YOU THAT THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD GOT CAUGHT. Two private investigators looking into the case on their behalf eventually turned their sights on Terry Hobbs, Steve's stepfather, because his story did not add up -- he had claimed that he had begun searching for the boys at 6 pm on the day they had disappeared when in reality, they had only been reported missing at 9 pm. This brings us to around 6pm at night. They then went and dumped the boys bicycles into the bayou, cleaned up the area and left by dark. For whatever reason, if this all is the truth, something went wrong, and that was the day that the boys tragically got caught spying. But there also had to be an injury there to begin with. Crime scene footage of the pile of boards. A rather uncommon knot for a regular person but a very common knot for a former butcher or farmer. Terry Hobbs was reported missing from Kinard on April 20, but his family said the last time anyone. RIDGE: DID YOU EVER TELL ANYDODY ABOUT IT? These two are pretty clear, I think, especially with one coming from his parents. You may be the judge of the that. RIDGE: ONE TIME, WERE THEY, WERE YOU ALL WATCHING THE FIVE MEN DOWN THERE THAT TIME WHEN HE WENT WITH YOU? And, allegedly, David was the one who caught Christopher, so I believe the first person who was attacked was Michael. Ifvery conservativelyone in every 10-20 people is gay or bi, and the police force is made up of 20 people (just a fun number) one of those cops is gonna like dick. HE ALWAYS TELLS THEM WHAT TO DO AND THEY DO IT. I allege that he ordered the three to tie up the boys and explained that they should all be tied up in the same manner. ~Also, during trial, Perreti said about ten times that the weapon was probably a 24. I've no doubt he killed Stevie to "get even" with Pam. (1). He ends up staying and watching TV with Amanda. I agree with that assessment but believe there were additional reasons. The ME examiner again supports this alleged statement, as Stevie, although probably the most conscious during the attack had little to no defensive wounds. By 7:05 the three boys may have been spotted by Terry or one of the others. It is an indisputable fact that Jacoby lied to police and under penalty of perjury in order to protect Hobbs from either being further investigated or arrested. In West Memphis, Hobbs worked as an ice cream delivery man and Hicks worked at a restaurant. Additionally, there is an ample amount of evidence, in my opinion, that Terry might have sexually abused all of his children. When he found out his friends were missing, he immediately told his mom that they had to go the clubhouse in the woods. If dogs had been licking the spot where the crime occurred and the boys, still wet from the water, were then laid on that area, It is very likely that they would have picked up dog or animal hair. Additionally, Stevie, by both Pam and Terrys accounts was a well behaved boy who did not disobey. They had been stripped naked, hogtied and beaten. Their affidavits can be read here and here. LG also lied extensively about his whereabouts the night of the 5th. The children never returned home. Buddys version of events would match up perfectly with what LG would later tell Bennie Guy when they were locked up in the county jail together. In fact, she too brings up that Buddy was working that day as if that proved anything. According to Billy Stewarts statement, he believes that at this time some sexual activity occurred between the men and two teens. Mark on Stevies leg, possibly made by edge of the board found at crime scene. Just as the stripping of the clothes and the bites and stabs to groin; it all suggests a sexual element to this crime. The nude, bound and mutilated bodies of three eight-year-old Cub Scouts were found in a water-filled ditch in a forest near their West Memphis, Ark., homes, one day after they disappeared in May, 1993. But the deeper I dug, the more I realized that not only was there no evidence to discredit that these four men committed this murder, all the known evidence supports the notion that they actually did do it. HE SAID WE WENT THERE EVERYDAY BUT WOULDNT GO ON FRIDAY AND I TOLD HIM WHY HOW DO YOU KNOW FRIDAY? I could continue to list the ways that Mr. Douglass' statement is wrong, but I don't think I have to. According to Terrys ex wife, Terry Hobbs first wife had claimed in their divorce papers that he molested their son. Apparently, he had told family members that his mother found a pair of his bloody shoes and when he talked about the murders at work, he lead people to believe he somehow knew something or was in someway involved. 3:15 Michael Moore shows up and asks if he and Stevie can ride bikes together. At the time of the murders, Terry and Pam had a 4-year-old daughter. I remember when the news broke and sitting in my living room floor crying and holding my new daughter I have read, watched and researched as much as I could throughout the years. (source) All of these interviews and statements show that not only did LG not have an alibi, but he lied about his alibi and asked other people to lie about being with him, too. As they were riding around the street, Terry and David drove by on Barton (Barton would have lead them directly out of the neighborhood, taking them to 7th street which leads up to Lakeshore) and David saw them in the street. Stevie promises and the boys leave. He actually worked in a slaughterhouse. He said, you seen him coming down the street, I said, yes L. G. and I am not lying for him. The dynamic between them must have been s fucked up and dark and tense. The darkest shit about all of this, is that they sensationalized this case as some bullshit Satanic fantasy. and all of it just covers up the sobering truth: this kind of child murder happens every day. I believe the known evidence supports the notion that Terry said yes, but that Stevie went inside to eat dinner first. It remains unsolved in the minds of those who feel the West Memphis Three defendants are innocent. It means its likely that he never went home. In fact, Richard and his roommate both admitted that they didnt even see LG that night. When Narlene was interviewed she claimed to have dropped LG off at his home. I went back and read all the autopsy reports and attempted to interpret them. RIDGE: FIVE TIMES YOU SAW IT HAPPEN FIVE TIMES? I've gone down this rabbit hole time and time again. Even worse, Terry claims that he had arrived at Jacobys already searching for the boys, while David claimed that Terry arrived with the boys behind him in the street and apparently told David that he was allowing them to play until dark. Police Officer Regina Meeks had been called to Mark Byers home at 8:10 and filled out a police report for the missing children with both the Byers and Dana Moore. I believe that when LG asked to be dropped off at home Terry refused. in fact the first one to be attacked. In 1993 Bennie Guy and Billy Stewart were both very close with a mentally slow teenager named Buddy Lucas. Billy was merely contacted to corroborate the letter, which he did. had been during the evening on 5-5-93. Those who believe they are innocent claim it was a witch hunt due to Satanic Panic. Although I have gone into great detail describing how this murder took place, in reality, the experts believed it would have only taken around 20 minutes to carry the murder out. Especially considering how extremely rare it is for a victim to be tied in this manner. I recall a man was outside across the street working in his yard. On the north side of the pipe bridge, very close to the Blue Beacon woods, a woman on the service road saw the three boys riding their bicycles at approx. I allege that these three women are correct in that they saw the three boys, I simply believe that they got confused on the time that it occurred. Those who didnt know the case that well simply believed that Chris entire penis and scrotum had been cut off with a knife. What are the chances that boys would act out the way homosexual men have sex, in addition to one of them saying they watched homosexual men have sex, and it not be true? And that 1 cop will know that a member of that community being subjected to questioning for a crime of this nature could lead down all sorts of paths: one of those paths being that Terry likes dick and is part of a small community that likes dick and that that 1 cop likes dick. THAT THE FIVE MAN MAY HAVE CAUGHT THEM? The West Memphis Three case has been an unfinished puzzle for over twenty years, but if you go back through the years and find all the little pieces and begin to put them together, I believe that you will have your answers about what happened that night; the puzzle is complete and it is undeniable. David Jacoby also claimed to have seen the three boys in the street at this time; one on a skateboard and the others on bikes. Privacy Policy. After ending his first marriage, he wed Pamela Hicks Branch in 1986, when her son Stevie was almost 2 years old. The murders still haunt me and I will ALWAYS want justice for Stevie, Michael & Christopher. However, according to Billy, one of the boys kicked Terry after he was caught and brought to him. Tragically, for all involved, no one seemed interested or would return their calls. When I rewatched PL1, Pam and Terry had broken up when she did the interview outside when she put Stevie's scarf on her head (she was in a red dress). I truly believe the real killer(s) are still out there and it's not the WM3. (1, 2, 3) This means that not only did Narlene lie repeatedly to police and in court, but she convinced her two children to lie under oath as well. What would allegedly happen next is one of the greatest indicators that the statements made by Billy and Bennie are in fact true. And, Ill tell you something, I would take up for my kids when Ive known that they have done something, cause aint no telling what they would do. According to statements, and as noted earlier, after Terry hit the first boy a few times, he stopped long enough to yell at him. Her relay of the conversation seems to reveal that Narlene is talking to LG as if they both know that Damien is guilty. She said some very odd things about TH: "he gets a look that's plum(sp?) RIDGE IRENE SHE TOLD YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE DAY THE KIDS WERE MURDERED? The only person whose DNA would be in that ligature isthe person who tied the knots, Echols said. At that time and also later, when Bennie sent his letter and Billy was contacted, both men were in prison, separately. RIDGE OKAY, NOW THE CONVERSATION YOU HAD WITH HIS AUNT WHAT IS HER NAME AGAIN? The three men ran after the boys, caught them and dragged them back to Terry. CHRISTY, I WAS TALKING TO A GIRL NAMED CHRISTY AND SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE THOUGHT THEY HAD FOUND ONE OF THE BODIES.

The day when they finally made a grid to cover the entire woods and nearby field, was on either the 7th or 8th of May, a full two or three days after the murder. After he removed his clothes, he ripped out one shoelace from Michaels shoe and cut it in half with his knife. i.e: wrestle. I believe it is because the truth had finally and for the very first time, been exposed. At the same time, considering the trampled crime scene and shoddy police work, would the cops have even documented the sight of animal prints or tire tracks even if they did see it? Yup. The bathroom window over my tub was partially open and my yelling could be heard outside. How is that a way to describe sex? Years later it was discovered by experts for the defense that a knife had not caused the injuries to Chris penis at all. ( source) One of the most significant pieces of evidence to support this allegation comes from the medical examiner who did Stevies autopsy. In truth, this theory would finally explain and clarify, really,why the boys had animal hair on them if they were pulled from the water. The fact that the knots were not all the same, indicates as well that Terry was not the only person to tie up these children. After an altercation with his wife, Pam Hobbs, wherein he reportedly hit her, he shot his brother-in-law. I believe at this time, Terry directed his attention to Stevie and bit him repeatedly on this face. Really?? Todd Moore, father of victim Michael Moore, found the evidence against Hobbs unpersuasive. Was it because he was running around frantically trying to cover up for the crime? The way the three boys were tied, wrist to ankle, as opposed to wrist to wrist, ankle to ankle, is one of the most unique aspects to this case. THEY UM. We know this because it takes 45 minutes to two hours to digest vegetables and we also know that the experts believe that the boys were murdered sometime around 7:00 pm. Rather than rush inside and tell Pam that Stevie was missing along with two of his friends, he walked right past Pam to the phone, called police and filed a missing person report.

It was only then that Jacoby publicly admitted that Hobbs had left for two hours that night. Not only did Terry whip Stevie for not listening, but Pam was strict as well. When LG was interviewed by police one of the things they noted was LGs suspicious relationship with Richard Simpson. I will not claim that everything I write is certified fact, but I do believe that all the known evidence supports this theory as the truth of what happened in West Memphis, Arkansas in 1993. Terry Hobbs, however, was not without his defenders. All experts agreed that Perettis autopsy reports were written exquisitely. Lastly, even David Jacoby, friend to Terry Hobbs, testified that when Terry arrived at his home at 5:30, he asked Terry where Stevie was. RIDGE: IS THE WOODS HAVE THEY GOT A NAME THEY CALL THEM ROBIN HOOD IS THAT RIGHT? In the beginning I thought it was TH. Terry's father became a skilled butcher while in the military and used this knowledge to open about thirty restaurants. Pam concedes on one condition: Stevie must be home by4:30 or he will be grounded from his beloved bike for two weeks. DO YOU THINK THEY WERE CRAZYAARON: THEY WERE SMOKINGRIDGE: FOR DOING WHAT THEY WERE DOING?AARON: THEY WERE ROLLED UP UM, CIGARETTES THERE WAS ALL KIND OF WHITERIDGE: KINDA WHITE CIGARETTES?AARON: ALL WHITETHE KIND YOU ROUND UP YEA YOU PUT THAT GREEN STUFF IN THERE. I learned through my connection in the drug-trade that Mr. Hobbs preferred sexwith young boys. Terry is an absolute sadist, psychopath and was never properly investigated, and I know The Hobbs Family Secret is true, possibly The Puzzle. The day after the boys went missing before they were even found, Michael Moore's parents asked Aaron's mother, Vickie Hutchinson, if Aaron could be removed from school to help find the boys. The new evidence establishes that the last person who had custody of the three boys before they vanished and died was Terry Hobbs. RIDGE: OKAY, AND WHAT DID YOU FIND WHEN YOU CAME TO THE AREA? Currently, Hobbs has not been charged with anything related to the murders. OKAY AND AH I SAID SO YAWL WENT THERE EVERYDAY. Terry Hobbs grew up in a strict fundementalist pentecostal home, with his father actually being a pentecostal preacher. So why didnt Terry return to the Moores house in the four frantic hours he searched for Stevie in their tiny neighborhood? THEY WERENT SCARED THAT MAYBE SOMEBODY HAD SEEN THEM IN THERE ONE DAY? Problem is, many of the things he says about him are also true for the WM3, at least Damien. I allege that Terry came home right after 5pm and Stevie was headed to the house at this time. (Vickies interview 1993). Hobbs, who had previously been under the police scanner for the murders because of inconsistencies in his story, had later been cleared of any wrongdoing but found himself being verbally abused by Byers in front of cameras outside a courtroom. I believe that certainly Buddy, and perhaps LG as well, participated in the crime because of The Bystander Effect; they partook in the crime out of fear and/or compliance, but they did not have intentions to murder. Clemente said the first place a child would likely return to is home. This testing, though not as conclusive as traditional DNA testing, can help to exclude suspects as potential donors of physical evidence. AARON: IT WAS, WHEN EVER WE GOT OUT OF SCHOOL WE WENT THERE ABOUT FOUR, AARON: AND THEY NEVER GOT THERE BEFORE WE DID. and apparently to Pam too, iirc discovering this is what lead to her statement that she believes he was involved in the murder of her son. Is there any other reason why hed admit on national television that he lied? It also would have allowed Terry to take things to the next level; if he began with seemingly innocent orders he could have continued things that way, escalating events with each command. Why was shesosure, in her mind, that Damiens mother was lying about being with him all night? Vickie Hutchinson described the clubhouse like this: RIDGE: WHAT DID THE CLUB HOUSE CONSIST OF? We know that the boys clubhouse was right next to a pile of 2x4s which again supports the notion that the boys were discovered right by their clubhouse.).

Apparently, David initially hit Chris in the face and head with his fists until Terry came over and ordered the boys to be stripped. I also went back and caught Pam in 93 saying that TH didn't get mad, he got even. As Bennies statements suggest, as well the MEs position on Michaels injuries, there is good evidence to suggest that Michael was violently attacked first and then lay unconscious for the rest of the crime. Based on the reports made available to the public pertaining to Damien's mental health issues, this is a flat out lie. I allege that after Stevie and Chris had been stripped and attacked, Terry began to tie up Stevie. This is corroborated by various accounts and also by the fact that Stevie was not a child who disobeyed his parents. transfer betterment to vanguard. One woman, in particular, saw the boys inside the woods from her truck when traffic has slowed. Due to the fact that the three were so severely injured, a weapon had to have been used at some point.
