Summary
In this week's investigation, Hot On The Case dives into one of the most controversial cases in true crime history. The murders of three boys, Steve Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers in West Memphis. As fear and panic spread through the community, teenagers Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley Jr. became known as the West Memphis Three and were convicted in a case many believe was built on weak evidence and public hysteria. Over the years' supporters around the world fought to expose alleged flaws in the investigation, push for new DNA testing, and prove the innocence of the three men after they spent nearly two decades behind bars. With lingering questions surrounding the case, we're left with the chilling questions of who was actually behind these crimes, and what if the West Memphis Three were guilty all along?
