We left off last week with Bill Durham and Shane Griffin's interviews with Damien

Eccles and Jason Baldwin. As a quick recap, up to this point, we've isolated the beginning

of the investigation into Damien Eccles to this report written by Detective Sudbury.

Quote,

On the day after the bodies of the three boys were found, I had a conversation with Steve Jones,

a juvenile officer for Crittenden County, Arkansas. In our conversation, I found that Steve

and I shared the same opinion that the murders appear to have overtones of cult sacrifice.

of being involved in this type of crime. That person was Damien Eccles.

Steve stated that Damien lived at 27.06 South Grove in Broadway trailer park in West Memphis, Arkansas.

On this day, the day after the bodies were found, I asked Steve if he would meet me at Damien's

residence in order to interview Damien. In fact, the day after the bodies were discovered, I went to 27.06 South

Grove and met with Steve Jones, whereas we talked to Pamela and Eddie Hutchison, the mother and stepfather of Damien.

Neither Pamela or Eddie objected to our talking to Damien.

On this day, with Pamela and Eddie's permission, we talked to Damien in his bedroom, and on this day,

I took a Polaroid of Damien Eccles. At this time, I observed Damien to have a tattoo on his chest

of a five-pointed star or pentagram, and as best I remember, one other tattoo on his shoulder or arm.

I am unsure of the nature of this tattoo.
