I am Stevie Branch’s Aunt. Pam is 😂sister. I want to say THANK YOU!! Thank you for saying Stevie, Michael and Christopher should be considered the real West Memphis Three. Thank you for your respect on this subject and thank you for the manner in which you handled this video. Thank you from Pam and the entire Hicks family. 31 years has been a long time to not know the truth. We will never get closure even when we know the truth because it won’t bring those 3 beautiful boys back. It won’t take away 31 years of heartache and heartbreak. All I can say is that when it’s my time to go, Stevie, my brother and my parents will meet me at Heavens gate and I’ll have all the answers I need. Again, Thank you for the respect you gave Stevie, Michael and Christopher. Unfortunately, what the lady said about “be nice” people have written 666 on all the boys headstones. You were so close right before you left. I’m glad you went back. Heart shaped headstone. We wondered who left that car. God Bless you and thank you so much!! I hate there weren’t any flowers on there yet. My baby sister and I make them for every season. We saw you were there in March 2023. Our moms birthday is in March and we put them out on the 23rd of March. I’m on TikTok and you can see my balloon release and videos I have. I’m also on Facebook. You did Stevie, Michael and Christopher justice ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I cried so much through this whole video. Not crying in a bad way. Crying because of the respect that I felt you were giving to our 3 beautiful angels. Thank you for not giving up on finding Stevie’s grave. The whole line, you showed my grand parents and to the right of Stevie, it’s my brother and my parents. The rest of the graves belong to us 5 remaining girls ❤
@sheilamuse4560 Sheila, do you really think Terry had anything to do with what happened to the 3 boys. I know your family doesn't like Terry personally as I've read your affidavit in the Pasdar case. You may not like him for good reason but that's not good enough to say he did it. The evidence against Damien (Aleister Crowley follower) and Jessie and Jason is looking very strong as time passes. Damien living in the apartments right across from the pipe when he was younger and the 9 confessions (to even his own attorneys) that Jessie gave amid the many other things that lead right to those three, 18-17-16 year olds. Those 3 punks are guilty as hell and throwing shade at Terry doesn't do the 3 little boys (your nephew) any justice. Can you share why you think Terry had something to do with the murders and not the 3 that were convicted? They never should have been let out of jail IMHO...
@@vdcjr I didn’t say I thought Terry did it. Find your cross examination elsewhere. Terry and I have squashed any beef we had and you can ask him if you don’t believe me. All I know is whoever did it is free and I will know in Heaven what happened. God bless and good day.
@@vdcjr Read my comments above again. You should remember with whom you’re speaking to… the victim’s family. But a bunch of trolls get their rocks off by going after the victims family!! On a video in memory of dead children! Give me a real name and stop hiding behind a screen name. You see I use mine 🙂
@claire casey I think Melissa died of a broken heart also. Of the 3 boys, Christopher had the worst injuries! His manner of death was blunt force trauma. The other 2 boys drowned to death, but Christopher was beaten to death. For some reason, the FBI Profiler believed that Christopher was the main focus of the attacks, then Stevie Branch. It is believed that the third boy, Michael Moore, was not a target at all but was killed because he was a witness. He sustained the least amount of injuries.
@@rucianapollard7098 I talked to Mark once on Facebook many years ago. He seemed like a decent guy even though he's acted crazy for the cameras over the years, he finally turned around and thought the West Memphis Three (Damien, Jason and Jessie) were actually innocent and he didn't believe they were guilty anymore as he ranted and raved about for so long. We didn't really talk about the case. We just kinda BSed about life. I don't remember exactly what we talked about but I know it wasn't involving the WM3 case because I wanted to be respectful and not upset him. I was sad to learn that he had died more recently. He was also a suspect for a long time.
Thank you so much Scott for getting a hotel room and staying the night and finding Stevie's grave and paying your respects to all of these poor boys. You're a wonderful person. Such a very very sad and horrible case this is.😢⚘
I have followed this case for many many years and have met several people involved, including little Stevie's aunt, and his stepfather John Mark. Thank you for persevering in finding Stevie's grave, and for taking the time to video and share. May this case one day be solved, and may the boys finally get the justice they deserve.
I'm so sorry for them. Sadly, there isn't likely to be any true justice. Either killers have been released OR their Alford pleads are going to continue to have all new inquiries blocked because it is a closed case. No matter how you look at it, it's tragic. Those poor boys deserve better.
Heartbreaking story. Thank you for always showing the utmost respect, kindness, and love when you cover such sensitive cases/subjects. Scott, you are truly wonderful. Thank you for all you do. Rest in Peace to Stevie, Michael, and Christopher. ❤️
Man, I was born the same time as these boys...knowing their lives were cut so short and in such a terrible way makes me sick. RIP to those 3. I love your videos man, the true crime videos especially. It's awesome how respectful you are and telling their stories, thank you for that. The fact you held on to that toy car for Stevie, very cool man, very cool.
Scott, I don't see you as a youtuber but more as a highly accomplished documentary film maker. A very moving film, delivered with feeling and sensitivity. Much respect for making this film. Over here in Liverpool in the UK I wasn't aware of this case. Utterly horrific but I thank you for shining a light on such a heartbreaking crime. Let's just hope one day justice is served.
I have often thought about these boys murders since I saw the documentary, Paradise Lost, back in the mid-90's. Lots of speculation, but here we are 30 years later, and it's still unsolved. There are so much involved with this case, how could you even begin to discuss it. I greatly appreciate that your video focused on the lives of these little boys that should be here today. Seeing each of those graves was just heartbreaking. Leaving a car at each grave was extremely thoughtful. The story you shared regarding the cemetery were Chris Byers is buried and being told by staff to "be nice" just brought me to tears though. I just can't even imagine or understand what has happened before. I'm sure making this video must have been a very emotional one for you. I am thankful to you for making this video to remember Michael, Chris, and Stevie.
You are such a kind person Scott. I love your videos. I mean, it took you a whole year to find Stevie ,and you had to come back and show it yourself. That's dedication, my friend. God bless .
Can a single person kill 3 kids or bondage them all at the same time, what's the possibility of that? And what about that black guy covered in mud and blood?
@@aihsanasl I do believe that 1 guy can control 3 8 year olds if the kids know him and he is an authority figure like a cop or an adult, a parent! I think the stepfather, Terry Hobbs, is guilty or at least a very strong suspect!! The muddy guy in the bathroom, I don't think was involved. He was just a dirty homeless guy. However, if the WMPD had done a good job investigating these cases, maybe it was him, but they screwed up the case, so we'll never know!!
@@rucianapollard7098 the person you called dirty homeless was covered in blood and he was in shock plus why would a homeless person covers him with mud? İf you say he just dropped into mud is just a huge coincide.
@@rucianapollard7098 if you're in the woods nobody can play the authority maybe multiple kids can trust if there are multiple cops on the other hand a stepfather appearing in the woods especially if he's angry would cause other kids to escape. How could one person tie all of them alone?
I had followed this case for yrs and yrs. And you are so right Scott. The 3 little Boys were lost in everything. Thank you for going to each of their Graves. You have such a beautiful soul. 🕊🕊🕊
Holy shit, Scott. It's taken me since you posted this a few hours ago to get through it. 😢 I have no words for how tragic and devastating this is. How sweet and amazing you are for making this. I lost it when you put the little cars on their graves. Oh my god. I went a hugged both of my son's numerous times. I always hug them but this story just hit in a different set of feels. 😭😭 rest in peace you little angels. I'm so glad you found the last little baby boy. Just, wow thank you, Scott! It's always about the perp and never enough about the spirit that was taken. Thank you 🙏 I hope they are all having the most fun in heaven! 👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼
Scott I have to tell you, I’m a grown man, same exact age as these 3 boys who were murdered, and seeing you put the toy cars on the graves jist brought me to tears sir. I love your videos, keep it up bro!
I have no words about the crime committed against those young souls. Well I do, but it would be deleted. Thank you Scott for bringing this to my attention. I have never heard this story. Beautifully orated. Another great video, very proud of the great content you are putting out. Your hard work shows. Rip Stevie, Michael & Christopher ❤️
This world needs more of you in it. Those three little cars are now with three little boys. I do believe you will have three little angels running along beside you. Thank you Scott.
I never doubted for one moment you'd find all three graves. May justice prevail one day for Christopher, Michael and Steven. Thank you for the time you took doing this video, your empathy shines throughout. Also not forgetting the other 3 young man wrongly convicted.
She did not die from cancer. Drug addiction killed her . Autopsy says undetermined death tox report listed numerous drugs . Melissa was an addict before Chris died and after. Sad sad tragedy
@yigalordbanette8044 Oh, ok, it's been a while since I've watched the documentaries, and maybe I thought they said cancer. Anyways, still such a tragedy.. the entire case because whomever killed those little boys is still free today. I know one theory is that it was Stevie Branch's stepfather. The state won't do anything because as far as they are concerned, the case remains closed due to the Alford Plea of the West Memphis Three. I think we all know why they took that plea and not only are they innocent, but victims ad well. They should be exonerated and the case re-opened but I doubt it ever will be.
I remember hearing this story. So heartbreaking to hear what these poor three little boys went through. I even remember they also looked into one of the boys possibly step father if I remember right. May they fly high and god spreads his arms around them. So sad to see the mother of one of them also passing not long after her son was killed. Scott as always you do a phenomenal job at describing things in true detail never leaving anything out. Well done . Love you fellow Canadian
They looked at Steve Branch’s stepfather, Terry. A lot of people still think he did it…even Steve’s mother, Pam. She no longer thinks the 3 teenagers did it. And Christopher Byers mother, Melissa died a few years back. It was considered “suspicious” and they questioned her husband, Mark. And Mark was also questioned about the murders (and this was after they had already sent the boys to prison for murder) and he denied being involved. And before Mark died in a car crash, he also said he no longer believed the teenagers were responsible. Seriously though, the boys (the victims)…it seems every person in their families were weird/crazy. I think it would have served everyone in their families and in that community well if they would NOT have gotten tunnel vision for the teenagers. They just refused to look anywhere else or anybody else. Just my opinion. And I agree…I hope Christopher, Steve and Michael RIP.
It’s hard finding graves. I can’t even find ancestors when I know where they’re supposed to be. I went to Bremerton I think and tried to find Andy wood in Bainbridge and layne Staley’s ex demri and never could. I heard a woman’s voice say over here! In the empty cemetery and I got th out of there
@@KimberlyThomason Both of Christopher Byers parents are dead. His mother died about 3 years after Christopher from "undetermined" causes, and his step dad was killed in a car accident in 2021.
@@missyann7588 The 3 boys came from really poor backgrounds, just like the teenagers accused of killing them. It was reported that Stevie Branch was being physically abused by his stepfather, Terry Hobbs, and that Hobbs was sexually abusing his 3 year old daughter. Christopher Byers had serious behavioral problems. He was constantly in trouble at school. His school counselor had called in a social worker because Christopher exhibited signs of sexual abuse. In fact, he and Stevie Branch had been found behind a school wall throwing their excrement at each other!! Michael Moore seemed to be the only kid with little to no family drama. His mother was involved in a car accident where the other driver was killed, after Michael's death. For some reason, the FBI seemed to think that Michael was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was not an intended victim. He suffered the least amount of injuries and actually drowned to death. Christopher Byers seemed to have been the main target of the murders. He was brutally beaten to death, suffering a crushed skull! He died of bkunt force trauma. Stevie Branch also suffered head injuries, but like Michael, he drowned to death. Only Christopher was beaten to death. The FBI didn't say why the believed that Christopher was the main target, but they feel strongly about it.
This is one reason why we love and follow you, you devotion and commitment to those we have lost is immeasurable. Thank you for finishing this video and everything you do.
This is such a heartbreaking case. I watched the documentary on it and am so thankful for your kindness and tribute to these boys. RIp sweet boys! You are not forgotten 💜 Great video Scott
Thirty years on and still no closure. I've been following this story for a couple of decades. There have been a couple of movies made covering this event. "Devil's Knot". Also, a book by the same title, for those interested. The law enforcement in the small Arkansas town really messed up big-time. They were pressured to find the culprits, so they chose three teenage boys who were a bit odd for 1993. They had to close the case! One of those arrested, charged, and found guilty was Damian Echols who wrote a book about his time in prison entitled "Life After Death". Thank you Scott for putting up this nice video. I've always thought that as long as one person remembers you, you're never forgotten.
There was evidence that the boys did do it. Quite a bit. The problem is that the police fucked the case up so they went free years later. I actually think 4 people where involved 3 teens an a adult ring leader
So horribly tragic. Those poor boys. They deserve justice. You did a fantastic job of honoring them. Your diligence in making sure you visited each grave is so commendable. I have great respect for you for that.
Scott, this is such a sad, heart wrenching story. I admire you so much for your compassion when presenting stories like this. Those 3 little boys did not deserve this. I was crying when you were visiting their graves. Thank you for not giving up on finding Stevie's grave. May those 3 little angels RIP. 😢💔🙏
Rehearing this story now that I’m a father. It did hit me a little more emotionally. Wow. So sad that this had to happen to those boys. As a father. I hope whoever did that is suffering horribly.
We all thank you like all other dads for being great dads unlike those those terrible dads like Terry Hobbs, John Ramsey and Milton Frady whom helped sacrifice their children and other parents children. John Ramsey is among the most terrible serial child murderers in US history because his dad Jay Ramsey intentionally made his son a prolific child murderer starting with the Oakland County murders and has not stopped yet due to his involvement in the deep state Pedo networks.
this is a sad story . rip for the victims . that find heartbroken to hear kids getting murder . makes my stomach turn . Thank you Scott for sharing this horrible story
I followed this case years ago. It still breaks my heart to this day. I love your videos Scott. I just knew you would go back and find the last gravesite. I start off each day with one of your videoes. The compassion and respect you show for those that have left us is always heartfelt. Much love Scott.
Thank you for this video, i admire how respectful you are to all of the people you talk about and the graves visit. I've followed this case for the last 20+ years and its heartbreaking on both sides, the loss of 3 young innocent boys (who were the same age as me) and also for Damien, Jesse and Jason. The case was botched from the start, from the contaminated crime scene, Jesse who had a low IQ and his 'coerced' confession which most of the interview wasn't recorded. If it weren't for the new bite mark and dna evidence that did not match the 3 teens, they would still be incarcerated. Originally they weren't going to agree to the Alfred plea, but only agreed to save Damien from being put to death. My money was always on Terry Hobbs or the unamed 'bloody' man seen in the Bojangles restaurant. There were also two other suspects Holland and Morgan, who both showed deception on their polygraph tests. Those 3 little boys deserved better, by finding the real killer and bringing them to justice. I still dont understand how liking Metallica and wearing black makes you a killer. RIP Steven, Christopher and Michael 🩶
You’re the man Scott. I’ve been following this case since 1996 when Paradise Lost came out on HBO. I don’t believe Jason, Jessie and Damien did it but it was nice to see you focus on the kids. I’m also glad you waited until you found all the graves to post the video. Thank you for the time you put into this.
@@seventh_adam4410 yeah the Paradise Lost series, West of Memphis, and the books Devils knot, Abomination by William Ramsey, Damien’s Book Life After Death, a book about Mark Byers called Untying the Knot, Blood on Black, The Blood of Innocents, a book on Jason Baldwin called Dark Spell and a website back in the day called Callahan 8 if I remember the name correctly. It had all the police files and audio of all the recorded interviews. I think that’s about all I’ve watched and read over the years.
I found this channel through Faces of the Forgotten. Videos on that channel are some of my favorites on TH-cam and after only a single video, I think this channel will soon become another favorite!
Hi Scott, maybe someone who watches your videos that live around the area will be kind enough to visit the grave & leave something at the grave for you since you weren't able to find it. Thank you Scott for your kindness & respect. Many blessings to you my friend.
Thanks for focusing on the children and visiting their resting places. The young man resting in Forest Hill Cemetery (Memphis, TN) is among some good people that I knew. The human waste of flesh that murdered these children might get away with it in life, but in their own death, they will pay dearly.
I remember this story. Was a senior in high school in Ohio when this happened. Heartbreaking still all these years later. Thank you Scott for finishing this vlog. It means a lot to all of us
I was a junior in high school when this happened and it was just horrible!! I lived an hour south of West Memphis and it was such a big story!! After 👀 the documentaries, I think Echols and his friends were railroaded and the West Memphis police dept screwed this case up so badly, I don't think we will ever know what really happened! May those babies RIP 🙏
I've been wandering when you were going to cover this story. I remember when I watched the doc on HBO, it was so sad and disturbing that this happened 😢 thx for doing such a good job on this one Scott. Hugs and love to u and the families that are still suffering ❤
Thank you so much for honoring these beautiful boys without getting into all the craziness involving the case and the families. They deserve to be remembered. 😢
The Paradise Lost trilogy of documentaries were mind blowing, especially number three. Scott, you do these true crime vids with amazing heart and soul. The story is tragic.
Absolutely amazing mini doc Scott. You never fail to make awesome content and being a fan of True Crime this is a must watch!! This is such a heartbreaking case but you did it with such dignity and respect as always!
I remember when this happened. I was 13 and remember seeing this all over the news. My parents would use this case to show me and my younger brother how cruel this world can be. I remember being scared of going into the woods for a good while after this. So sad for those 3 boys who only spent 8 short years on this earth. I hope that who ever is responsible will someday be caught and justice will finally be served, whether that be in this life or the next. R.I.P Michael, Christopher and Stevie!
My son was the same exact age as the 3 boys at the time. Really shocked us . I was thar age at the time of the Manson Family murder spree..every generation has a case that remains in their hearts & stays there.. God bless
Excellent video, Scott. Sad story! RIP Stevie. Christopher and Michael in Heaven. God knows who murdered and abused these boy. That person will meet His judgment when they die.
I've followed this story for a very long time. I remember something that 17 yr old Damian said during an interview that "people are afraid of what they don't understand " So profound for someone so young. It broke my heart. Those boys could have been my own kids. Wearing black, listening to Metallica. The is also a movie starring Reese Witherspoon as Stevie Branches mother called Devils Knot.
Tragic what happened to the 3 little boys Terrifying what happened to the 3 teenagers that were blamed..if Celebrities didnt get involved ,they'd still be locked up or unalived...
They also wore Reby McIntyre shirts. Don't believe a documentary that was pro one side. Look at all of the evidence. Those 3 boys should still be in jail.
Scott, I've seen every documentary about The West Memphis 3 and this is by far, the best. You show such compassion and you have a drive and a passion to tell their story, Stevie, Michael, and Christopher. which is very rarely ever told. I wish other's would try your style of story telling. Thank you, Scott, for all your hard work and for being the voice of the victims. ❤❤❤
You are right Scott. Those boys deserve to be remembered. When people think about this case they usually think about the guys falsely accused. But what about sweet innocent kids? People need to get to know them and who they were. What kind of candy did they like and what was their favorite cartoons? They truly deserve JUSTICE!!
I love your video's! I love how you give the up most respect to those 3 young men who lost their lives as well as to those children playing at recess. Not many people would go out of there way to show as much respect as you do. Thank you for this video and reminding people of those 3 young boys.
I have had this documentary saved on my “to watch later” for a month now and I finally got to watch it. I remember when this all happened in 1993 I saw it on the news and have seen every documentary and news clip since (because I just couldn’t fathom this happening to 3 precious boys) and you Scott have done one of the BEST and most respectful documentaries I have seen. But that doesn’t surprise me as it is you and that is how you do these. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for keeping these boys' memory alive. I always thought it was someone that was a trucker. It was right next to the carwash and it had to have been more than just one person, obviously. When I read something about the knots way they were tied was more of a sailor's knot. Now those boys might have known how to have tied a sailor's knot but I doubt it. So whoever it was that went into Bojangles I believe is the murderer. And that person was not alone they gotten their truck and they just went on down the road, pretty much on to the next. I remember this case because my children were the age of these little boys. And that cuts deep and it hurts. But Scott every time that you do a video like this you always bring a very empathetic and a respect that others don't. And I can tell when certain things really bother you and this really bothered you. I appreciate you keeping the memory of these little boys alive. Anyone that has had loss, don't ever forget to say their names. Thank you Scott stay safe❤✌️
Such a horrible tragic story those poor little boys had to be so scared. It makes me so angry that another human being could be so cruel to do such a thing. What kinda person does this to innocent children? it truly breaks my heart. I'm sure it had to be very difficult and emotional for you as well Scott.
followed from 1993. Never sat right with me that the 3 were convicted. I have my thoughts on who the real killer was but I know fo rsure 3 little boys are gone forever and 3 young men were wrongfully accused and convicted. Thank u for what u do Scott.
Fantastic work on this film Scott! I remember when this happened. I was 23 at the time. How could someone do something like this to 3 young innocent boys I'll never understand? Evil is real and walks with us everyday! ✌️
Scott, first off thank you for doing this in such a respectful way and promising to go back to find little Stevie’s grave. I can cry right now. This happened on my birthday in HS May 5, 1993. I turned 18. About 4 years later I watched Paradise one, then after that Paradise 2 and 3. I also had access to pictures and court documents. I was friends with Dana Moore, (Michael’s mom)and Mark Byers- he thought that the WM3 were guilty then…changed his mind that they were innocent, and Terry Hobbs did it….had to Step back, away it was TOO much. I also believe with you those murders DID take place in Robin Hood Hills there were NOT murdered elsewhere. Everything about this is sad, horrific. Michelle Byers dying right after her son dying. Dana getting divorced from her husband, and Mark Byers dying, The WM3 being released, no answers…who did it. Let me just say you can’t just decide by watching all 3 documentaries on HBO, there is SO MUCH MORE. I know Pam’s father was so heartbroken over his grandsons death, he was crying so hard, and said he’d see him in heaven again, was his grandfathers grave next to his? and I wonder why Stevie was buried in Illinois? Your right the real WM3 is about those little boys. My heart is broken over this case..no one wins, where is the killer? I just wanted to say about Jessie M , is that his father gave the cops permission to go there. This is just a bad , sad, terrible horrific murder of 3 innocent 8 year old little boys.♥️♥️♥️✌️ Roxanne in Orlando
I was a junior in high school when this happened and lived a little over an hour south of West Memphis. It was really big news and it was horrible!! Who would kill 3 8 year olds?? And tying them up like that was really creepy!! After watching the documentaries, I didn't believe that Echols, Miskelly and Baldwin did it, and I after all of these years, I still don't believe they did it!! It's interesting that you have files on the cases!! Can they be found online??
Having access to those documents I’m interested of your opinion about Chris Morgan, Brian Holland and Bobby De Angelo . I have seen most of the info about the case , but just came across the videos of those suspects. I’m amazed they weren’t looked into more . What’s your opinion on that ?
Your such a good person scott,, you are the perfect person for this channel, i suppose thats why you decided to do it. You couldn't leave without finding the last grave, proves your kindness & feeling toward these three young lives so tragically taken.. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.🙏❤️✌️
Very sad story. Rest in peace to those poor boys who barly got a chance of life. To the person who did it (not that they deserve to be called a person) is caught and rots. Scott well done as always. I love that you didnt give up on finding little Stevie’s grave.
When the murders first happened and were broadcast on the local news in Tennessee, I was shocked. Usually it's one child that's found dead. I have hope that the truth will come out one day. Great treatment of this crime and thanks for your dedication in making this video. RIP Stevie, Michael and Christopher 🙏❤️🚲🌄🌈🕊️
You’ve done a great thing with this video! I drive truck and am in west Memphis all the time. I recognize the plight of which you share with us. I too am a follower of this story, which in my opinion, has not been solved.
Thanks so much for this upload, Scott, glad you were able to finish it properly. I remember all that satanic, devil worship "craze" that happened in the late 80's, early 90's, we had our fair share of that here in Saskatchewan, day care, babysitters, foster parents, all caught up in that hysteria.
Thank you for sharing this Scott. I'm in the UK but remember this very well due to "satanic panic" and being one of those weird kids at the time in 93. In 2007 (around the time a certain individual had his DNA pinched) I somehow ended up getting very involved (through the forums at the time) in the campaign to release the WM3. Your footage was the first time I saw the inside of Bojangles properly, I've always wondered where the case might have ended up if the evidence taken there that night was treated properly. Justice for the West Memphis 6. If new DNA testing is ever allowed to go ahead I'm sure the WM3 will be exonerated and the real perp will be identified. Arkansas blocking testing is a disgrace.
THIS!!! 💯 I still have my "Free The WM3" sticker from 20 years ago! The fact that the accused want the test run and the state keeps pushing against it is beyond telling. DNA doesn't lie and that's what Arkansas is afraid of. They know who did it and know that it wasn't those boys otherwise they wouldn't be throwing every legal roadblock up that they can.
I and most American believe the 3 teenage boys who were obsessed with rock and roll darkness, are the killers to the three boys. Their adult friend, the one caught at the restaurant in muddy clothing helped the dark teenage boys dispose of the young boys' bodies because teenager wont know what to do. If the authorites would collect more evidence on the 3 boys bodies today, they would find all the killers DNA under finger nails cause back in the 90s, DNA testing wasnt a thing, so I guranntee if they reexamined the boys bodies, they would find the DNA of all three of teenage killers and the adult who disposed of them by doing the genealogy testing to find the killers! This case happened in the early 90s which means they need to reexamine their bodies since no one is being held accountable todsy for their deaths since the 3 satanic killer boys were helped out by rich elite celebrities to get them out of prison. This is ridiculous! The DA of West Memphis NEEDS TO DO THEIR damn JOBS and open up this unsolved child murder case! We are way more advanced today then we were in 1993. This case could be solved if our government wasnt LAZY and TYRANNICAL!
Satanic panic was a real thing back in the 90s and its starting back up today! People are killing each other literally every other day in America. We deal with pedophiles every week and we literally have family annihilators every other week in America bc satan time is almost up. Satan and his demons are very real, but sadly, lost people who follow the corrupt world DONT KNOW HOW TO TELL THE DEVIL NO!!! It's this simple. Lost people like Satanist literally believe if they do evil, satan will give them the world [rich and fame]. And Satan tried to tempt Jesus with the same offer but Jesus said, "Get behind me satan, Do not tempt the Lord thy God!" And if satan tempts our Lord Jesus Christ, Satan will temp any corrupt human! Most won't tell him no.
You always do such a kind and thoughtful job honoring those you visit. This is such a sad, heartbreaking and tragic case. You did a great job covering this in a way the boys and their families would be proud of.
I can only imagine how terrified those poor little boys were. 😢 you did an awesome job remembering them. how sweet of you to bring them each a little car. I hope whoever did this is living a miserable horrible life.
Beautifully done, Scott. I know these stories well and I still cried seeing their Graves. Thank you for your work on this and putting your heart into it; it was very apparent. ❤
awesome scott, i really love how you narrated this story, i can tell how much hard work and effort you put into this video to make sure it was prepared, this was so sad, i heard other vloggers talk about this story but i really liked your as it was more detailed, to say this was a heart breaking story is not enough, i cant even think of a word for it, young lives gone too soon, far too soon in a horrific way :(
That cemetery worker didn’t realize that she was talking to the most respectful, kindest, most intelligent, and most decent TH-camr ever. ❤
I am Stevie Branch’s Aunt. Pam is 😂sister. I want to say THANK YOU!! Thank you for saying Stevie, Michael and Christopher should be considered the real West Memphis Three. Thank you for your respect on this subject and thank you for the manner in which you handled this video. Thank you from Pam and the entire Hicks family. 31 years has been a long time to not know the truth. We will never get closure even when we know the truth because it won’t bring those 3 beautiful boys back. It won’t take away 31 years of heartache and heartbreak. All I can say is that when it’s my time to go, Stevie, my brother and my parents will meet me at Heavens gate and I’ll have all the answers I need. Again, Thank you for the respect you gave Stevie, Michael and Christopher. Unfortunately, what the lady said about “be nice” people have written 666 on all the boys headstones. You were so close right before you left. I’m glad you went back. Heart shaped headstone. We wondered who left that car. God Bless you and thank you so much!! I hate there weren’t any flowers on there yet. My baby sister and I make them for every season. We saw you were there in March 2023. Our moms birthday is in March and we put them out on the 23rd of March. I’m on TikTok and you can see my balloon release and videos I have. I’m also on Facebook. You did Stevie, Michael and Christopher justice ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
If I would have heard of you then, I would have taken you out there.
I cried so much through this whole video. Not crying in a bad way. Crying because of the respect that I felt you were giving to our 3 beautiful angels. Thank you for not giving up on finding Stevie’s grave. The whole line, you showed my grand parents and to the right of Stevie, it’s my brother and my parents. The rest of the graves belong to us 5 remaining girls ❤
@sheilamuse4560 Sheila, do you really think Terry had anything to do with what happened to the 3 boys. I know your family doesn't like Terry personally as I've read your affidavit in the Pasdar case. You may not like him for good reason but that's not good enough to say he did it. The evidence against Damien (Aleister Crowley follower) and Jessie and Jason is looking very strong as time passes. Damien living in the apartments right across from the pipe when he was younger and the 9 confessions (to even his own attorneys) that Jessie gave amid the many other things that lead right to those three, 18-17-16 year olds. Those 3 punks are guilty as hell and throwing shade at Terry doesn't do the 3 little boys (your nephew) any justice. Can you share why you think Terry had something to do with the murders and not the 3 that were convicted? They never should have been let out of jail IMHO...
@@vdcjr I didn’t say I thought Terry did it. Find your cross examination elsewhere. Terry and I have squashed any beef we had and you can ask him if you don’t believe me. All I know is whoever did it is free and I will know in Heaven what happened. God bless and good day.
@@vdcjr Read my comments above again. You should remember with whom you’re speaking to… the victim’s family. But a bunch of trolls get their rocks off by going after the victims family!! On a video in memory of dead children! Give me a real name and stop hiding behind a screen name. You see I use mine 🙂
I noticed that Christopher's mother passed away in 1996, just 3 years after he died.. Such a tragically sad situation for all.
Yes. Her manner of death was undetermined. Mark Byers, stepfather to Christopher Byers died in a car crash in 2021. Sad case all around!
@@rucianapollard7098 Oh wow, I didn’t know or hear about his death. RIP to all involved.😢🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💐
It's said Melissa Byres did take different drugs. I think she died of a broken heart. Yes Mark Byers died in a tragic car accident.
@claire casey I think Melissa died of a broken heart also. Of the 3 boys, Christopher had the worst injuries! His manner of death was blunt force trauma. The other 2 boys drowned to death, but Christopher was beaten to death. For some reason, the FBI Profiler believed that Christopher was the main focus of the attacks, then Stevie Branch. It is believed that the third boy, Michael Moore, was not a target at all but was killed because he was a witness. He sustained the least amount of injuries.
@@rucianapollard7098 I talked to Mark once on Facebook many years ago. He seemed like a decent guy even though he's acted crazy for the cameras over the years, he finally turned around and thought the West Memphis Three (Damien, Jason and Jessie) were actually innocent and he didn't believe they were guilty anymore as he ranted and raved about for so long. We didn't really talk about the case. We just kinda BSed about life. I don't remember exactly what we talked about but I know it wasn't involving the WM3 case because I wanted to be respectful and not upset him. I was sad to learn that he had died more recently. He was also a suspect for a long time.
Thank you so much Scott for getting a hotel room and staying the night and finding Stevie's grave and paying your respects to all of these poor boys. You're a wonderful person. Such a very very sad and horrible case this is.😢⚘
❤You are SUCH a good man Scott! To hold off releasing this for well over a year until you found Stevie is very telling of your kind
Scott truly has a heart of gold 💛.
I agree with you 100% he is a great and loving person. We’ve been watching him since day one
I agree 💯%....much respect to Scott ❤️
R.I.P. to Michael, Christopher and Stevie 💔
Once again Steve amazing video love watching everything you post.
This was so eloquently said,,,brought tears to my eyes
I live literally 15 minutes from the murder site and have never seen anyone give more accurate description of the area. Thank you.
This case is so heartbreaking. I can't imagine what the families went through. It's horrific.
You clearly worked hard on this video Scott. ❤
I lived in north Mississippi at the time and it was awful!! Who would murder 3 8 year olds???
I have followed this case for many many years and have met several people involved, including little Stevie's aunt, and his stepfather John Mark. Thank you for persevering in finding Stevie's grave, and for taking the time to video and share. May this case one day be solved, and may the boys finally get the justice they deserve.
I'm so sorry for them.
Sadly, there isn't likely to be any true justice.
Either killers have been released OR their Alford pleads are going to continue to have all new inquiries blocked because it is a closed case.
No matter how you look at it, it's tragic. Those poor boys deserve better.
I believe the 3 that got out are still convicted murders.So to the cop's it is solved.
@@sammygaudino8906that's because they're guilty
@@Aaron_Scissorhandsthey are!
I don't think they are guilty and the fact the 1 keeps pushing for the dna to be tested should tell you something
Heartbreaking story.
Thank you for always showing the utmost respect, kindness, and love when you cover such sensitive cases/subjects. Scott, you are truly wonderful. Thank you for all you do.
Rest in Peace to Stevie, Michael, and Christopher. ❤️
Its heartbreaking cuz terry walks around as arrogant as ever
What a totally moving, respectful tribute. Thank you, Scott...May they rest in Peace.
Man, I was born the same time as these boys...knowing their lives were cut so short and in such a terrible way makes me sick. RIP to those 3. I love your videos man, the true crime videos especially. It's awesome how respectful you are and telling their stories, thank you for that. The fact you held on to that toy car for Stevie, very cool man, very cool.
It sat on my dashboard for nearly 16 months so I would always be reminded of Stevie and what I wanted to do,
I’m about the same age as them as well. It’s really hard to even imagine what they went through. This one just breaks my heart.
the worst part other than the actual crime is that Terry Hobbs has walked away from it so far but God ain't finished yet.
@@aprilgosa5779Agreed! God is the ultimate judge, and He gets the final say!
@@SCOTTONTAPE Your a goddamn freak
Scott, I don't see you as a youtuber but more as a highly accomplished documentary film maker. A very moving film, delivered with feeling and sensitivity. Much respect for making this film. Over here in Liverpool in the UK I wasn't aware of this case. Utterly horrific but I thank you for shining a light on such a heartbreaking crime. Let's just hope one day justice is served.
I have often thought about these boys murders since I saw the documentary, Paradise Lost, back in the mid-90's. Lots of speculation, but here we are 30 years later, and it's still unsolved. There are so much involved with this case, how could you even begin to discuss it. I greatly appreciate that your video focused on the lives of these little boys that should be here today. Seeing each of those graves was just heartbreaking. Leaving a car at each grave was extremely thoughtful. The story you shared regarding the cemetery were Chris Byers is buried and being told by staff to "be nice" just brought me to tears though. I just can't even imagine or understand what has happened before. I'm sure making this video must have been a very emotional one for you. I am thankful to you for making this video to remember Michael, Chris, and Stevie.
You are such a kind person Scott. I love your videos. I mean, it took you a whole year to find Stevie ,and you had to come back and show it yourself. That's dedication, my friend. God bless .
Thank you Diane 😊
I have watched and read everything possible about this case and I honestly believe Terry Hobbs is who killed these boys. Rest in peace sweet boys.😢
Can a single person kill 3 kids or bondage them all at the same time, what's the possibility of that? And what about that black guy covered in mud and blood?
I agree on Terry Hobbs.
@@aihsanasl I do believe that 1 guy can control 3 8 year olds if the kids know him and he is an authority figure like a cop or an adult, a parent! I think the stepfather, Terry Hobbs, is guilty or at least a very strong suspect!! The muddy guy in the bathroom, I don't think was involved. He was just a dirty homeless guy. However, if the WMPD had done a good job investigating these cases, maybe it was him, but they screwed up the case, so we'll never know!!
@@rucianapollard7098 the person you called dirty homeless was covered in blood and he was in shock plus why would a homeless person covers him with mud? İf you say he just dropped into mud is just a huge coincide.
@@rucianapollard7098 if you're in the woods nobody can play the authority maybe multiple kids can trust if there are multiple cops on the other hand a stepfather appearing in the woods especially if he's angry would cause other kids to escape. How could one person tie all of them alone?
I love the fact the school has put an memorial stone for those names to be member God bless the school
I had followed this case for yrs and yrs. And you are so right Scott. The 3 little Boys were lost in everything. Thank you for going to each of their Graves. You have such a beautiful soul. 🕊🕊🕊
I grew up with the Hicks family and worked for Stevie’s step dad, thank you for being so respectful.
Holy shit, Scott. It's taken me since you posted this a few hours ago to get through it. 😢 I have no words for how tragic and devastating this is. How sweet and amazing you are for making this. I lost it when you put the little cars on their graves. Oh my god. I went a hugged both of my son's numerous times. I always hug them but this story just hit in a different set of feels. 😭😭 rest in peace you little angels. I'm so glad you found the last little baby boy. Just, wow thank you, Scott! It's always about the perp and never enough about the spirit that was taken. Thank you 🙏 I hope they are all having the most fun in heaven! 👼🏼👼🏼👼🏼
Scott I have to tell you, I’m a grown man, same exact age as these 3 boys who were murdered, and seeing you put the toy cars on the graves jist brought me to tears sir. I love your videos, keep it up bro!
I have no words about the crime committed against those young souls. Well I do, but it would be deleted. Thank you Scott for bringing this to my attention. I have never heard this story. Beautifully orated. Another great video, very proud of the great content you are putting out. Your hard work shows. Rip Stevie, Michael & Christopher ❤️
This world needs more of you in it. Those three little cars are now with three little boys. I do believe you will have three little angels running along beside you. Thank you Scott.
Scott, as always, covers heavy topics with dignity and respect. Another job well done. Thank you, Scott. ❤
I never doubted for one moment you'd find all three graves. May justice prevail one day for Christopher, Michael and Steven. Thank you for the time you took doing this video, your empathy shines throughout. Also not forgetting the other 3 young man wrongly convicted.
It did prevail. The guilty ones were let go on an Alford plea
@@superdave77 I think she watched the hbo propaganda doc they made on it leaving out most of the truth.
I commend you, Scott. You were a man of your word and went back and found Stevie's grave. It choked me up, man.
Melissa Byers died several years later from cancer, and probably a broken heart. RIP, to all of them💐
She did not die from cancer. Drug addiction killed her . Autopsy says undetermined death tox report listed numerous drugs . Melissa was an addict before Chris died and after. Sad sad tragedy
@yigalordbanette8044 Oh, ok, it's been a while since I've watched the documentaries, and maybe I thought they said cancer. Anyways, still such a tragedy.. the entire case because whomever killed those little boys is still free today. I know one theory is that it was Stevie Branch's stepfather. The state won't do anything because as far as they are concerned, the case remains closed due to the Alford Plea of the West Memphis Three. I think we all know why they took that plea and not only are they innocent, but victims ad well. They should be exonerated and the case re-opened but I doubt it ever will be.
How Do You Know She Was A Drug Addict
It's a known fact that most of the family members were drug addicts
Thank You 4 Info..
RIP To All. RICHARD.
I remember hearing this story. So heartbreaking to hear what these poor three little boys went through. I even remember they also looked into one of the boys possibly step father if I remember right. May they fly high and god spreads his arms around them. So sad to see the mother of one of them also passing not long after her son was killed. Scott as always you do a phenomenal job at describing things in true detail never leaving anything out. Well done . Love you fellow Canadian
They looked at Steve Branch’s stepfather, Terry. A lot of people still think he did it…even Steve’s mother, Pam. She no longer thinks the 3 teenagers did it. And Christopher Byers mother, Melissa died a few years back. It was considered “suspicious” and they questioned her husband, Mark. And Mark was also questioned about the murders (and this was after they had already sent the boys to prison for murder) and he denied being involved. And before Mark died in a car crash, he also said he no longer believed the teenagers were responsible.
Seriously though, the boys (the victims)…it seems every person in their families were weird/crazy. I think it would have served everyone in their families and in that community well if they would NOT have gotten tunnel vision for the teenagers. They just refused to look anywhere else or anybody else.
Just my opinion. And I agree…I hope Christopher, Steve and Michael RIP.
The mother of Michael killed someone because she was driving drunk.
It’s hard finding graves. I can’t even find ancestors when I know where they’re supposed to be. I went to Bremerton I think and tried to find Andy wood in Bainbridge and layne Staley’s ex demri and never could. I heard a woman’s voice say over here! In the empty cemetery and I got th out of there
@@KimberlyThomason Both of Christopher Byers parents are dead. His mother died about 3 years after Christopher from "undetermined" causes, and his step dad was killed in a car accident in 2021.
@@missyann7588 The 3 boys came from really poor backgrounds, just like the teenagers accused of killing them. It was reported that Stevie Branch was being physically abused by his stepfather, Terry Hobbs, and that Hobbs was sexually abusing his 3 year old daughter. Christopher Byers had serious behavioral problems. He was constantly in trouble at school. His school counselor had called in a social worker because Christopher exhibited signs of sexual abuse. In fact, he and Stevie Branch had been found behind a school wall throwing their excrement at each other!! Michael Moore seemed to be the only kid with little to no family drama. His mother was involved in a car accident where the other driver was killed, after Michael's death.
For some reason, the FBI seemed to think that Michael was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was not an intended victim. He suffered the least amount of injuries and actually drowned to death. Christopher Byers seemed to have been the main target of the murders. He was brutally beaten to death, suffering a crushed skull! He died of bkunt force trauma. Stevie Branch also suffered head injuries, but like Michael, he drowned to death. Only Christopher was beaten to death. The FBI didn't say why the believed that Christopher was the main target, but they feel strongly about it.
This is one reason why we love and follow you, you devotion and commitment to those we have lost is immeasurable. Thank you for finishing this video and everything you do.
This is such a heartbreaking case. I watched the documentary on it and am so thankful for your kindness and tribute to these boys. RIp sweet boys! You are not forgotten 💜 Great video Scott
Thirty years on and still no closure. I've been following this story for a couple of decades. There have been a couple of movies made covering this event. "Devil's Knot". Also, a book by the same title, for those interested.
The law enforcement in the small Arkansas town really messed up big-time.
They were pressured to find the culprits, so they chose three teenage boys who were a bit odd for 1993. They had to close the case!
One of those arrested, charged, and found guilty was Damian Echols who wrote a book about his time in prison entitled "Life After Death".
Thank you Scott for putting up this nice video. I've always thought that as long as one person remembers you, you're never forgotten.
There was evidence that the boys did do it. Quite a bit. The problem is that the police fucked the case up so they went free years later. I actually think 4 people where involved 3 teens an a adult ring leader
You’re a good man, Scott. I absolutely cherish how you went back. Your kindness makes the world a better place. ❤
So horribly tragic. Those poor boys. They deserve justice. You did a fantastic job of honoring them. Your diligence in making sure you visited each grave is so commendable. I have great respect for you for that.
Scott, this is such a sad, heart wrenching story. I admire you so much for your compassion when presenting stories like this. Those 3 little boys did not deserve this. I was crying when you were visiting their graves. Thank you for not giving up on finding Stevie's grave. May those 3 little angels RIP. 😢💔🙏
😢
Rehearing this story now that I’m a father. It did hit me a little more emotionally. Wow. So sad that this had to happen to those boys. As a father. I hope whoever did that is suffering horribly.
We all thank you like all other dads for being great dads unlike those those terrible dads like Terry Hobbs, John Ramsey and Milton Frady whom helped sacrifice their children and other parents children.
John Ramsey is among the most terrible serial child murderers in US history because his dad Jay Ramsey intentionally made his son a prolific child murderer starting with the Oakland County murders and has not stopped yet due to his involvement in the deep state Pedo networks.
We know who did it. It was the Memphis three.
@@MichaelHunt-eo8kbif you actually think the “proof” against those three is believable, something is wrong
this is a sad story . rip for the victims . that find heartbroken to hear kids getting murder . makes my stomach turn . Thank you Scott for sharing this horrible story
Thank you for this lovely tribute to Stevie, Michael and Christopher!!🌈🕊🌠🕯
This was just so well and respectfully done!! ❤
I followed this case years ago. It still breaks my heart to this day. I love your videos Scott. I just knew you would go back and find the last gravesite. I start off each day with one of your videoes. The compassion and respect you show for those that have left us is always heartfelt. Much love Scott.
Thank you Sal
I have never seen such compassionate telling of this tragedy. Thank you.
Thank you Scott, for remembering the boys with dignity, Not just as murder victims. Bless you.
That was VERY kind of you to put the little cars on the Headstones
Thank you so much Scott for your kindness, for giving these little boys a voice and keeping their memories alive. Stay safe on your travels.
Thank you for this video, i admire how respectful you are to all of the people you talk about and the graves visit.
I've followed this case for the last 20+ years and its heartbreaking on both sides, the loss of 3 young innocent boys (who were the same age as me) and also for Damien, Jesse and Jason. The case was botched from the start, from the contaminated crime scene, Jesse who had a low IQ and his 'coerced' confession which most of the interview wasn't recorded.
If it weren't for the new bite mark and dna evidence that did not match the 3 teens, they would still be incarcerated.
Originally they weren't going to agree to the Alfred plea, but only agreed to save Damien from being put to death.
My money was always on Terry Hobbs or the unamed 'bloody' man seen in the Bojangles restaurant.
There were also two other suspects Holland and Morgan, who both showed deception on their polygraph tests. Those 3 little boys deserved better, by finding the real killer and bringing them to justice.
I still dont understand how liking Metallica and wearing black makes you a killer.
RIP Steven, Christopher and Michael 🩶
You’re the man Scott. I’ve been following this case since 1996 when Paradise Lost came out on HBO. I don’t believe Jason, Jessie and Damien did it but it was nice to see you focus on the kids. I’m also glad you waited until you found all the graves to post the video. Thank you for the time you put into this.
Are you basing your decision on hbos documentary?? They conveniently left out a few vital things.
@@seventh_adam4410 yeah the Paradise Lost series, West of Memphis, and the books Devils knot, Abomination by William Ramsey, Damien’s Book Life After Death, a book about Mark Byers called Untying the Knot, Blood on Black, The Blood of Innocents, a book on Jason Baldwin called Dark Spell and a website back in the day called Callahan 8 if I remember the name correctly. It had all the police files and audio of all the recorded interviews. I think that’s about all I’ve watched and read over the years.
I found this channel through Faces of the Forgotten. Videos on that channel are some of my favorites on TH-cam and after only a single video, I think this channel will soon become another favorite!
Hi Scott, maybe someone who watches your videos that live around the area will be kind enough to visit the grave & leave something at the grave for you since you weren't able to find it. Thank you Scott for your kindness & respect. Many blessings to you my friend.
Thank you so much for the love and gentle care you gave these beautiful babies!! And for going back and finding Steve grave! Again, thank you!!
Thanks Scott wanted you do this story for a long time...still haunts me.
Much Love and thanks to you Scott from England - you are a lovely person and thanks for your videos x
Omg Scott thank you so much for doing this video. I just rewatched Paradise Lost 1 and 2. It’s such a heartbreaking case. 😢
I'm not sure if you know that there's a 3rd one, in case you are interested. Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory 2011. Peace...
Thanks for focusing on the children and visiting their resting places. The young man resting in Forest Hill Cemetery (Memphis, TN) is among some good people that I knew. The human waste of flesh that murdered these children might get away with it in life, but in their own death, they will pay dearly.
I remember this story. Was a senior in high school in Ohio when this happened. Heartbreaking still all these years later. Thank you Scott for finishing this vlog. It means a lot to all of us
I was a junior in high school when this happened and it was just horrible!! I lived an hour south of West Memphis and it was such a big story!! After 👀 the documentaries, I think Echols and his friends were railroaded and the West Memphis police dept screwed this case up so badly, I don't think we will ever know what really happened! May those babies RIP 🙏
😊
This is less than a mile from my house. Very heartbreaking all around. Thank you for doing such an amazing and caring video on this.
I've been wandering when you were going to cover this story. I remember when I watched the doc on HBO, it was so sad and disturbing that this happened 😢 thx for doing such a good job on this one Scott. Hugs and love to u and the families that are still suffering ❤
Scott your dedication to these boys is so inspiring. Thank you for doing this story. 😢
Thank you so much for honoring these beautiful boys without getting into all the craziness involving the case and the families. They deserve to be remembered. 😢
I'm so thankful you were able to complete your quest. Bless you, Scott, bless you. Rest in peace, Steve, Michael, and Christopher.
So sad.. thank you for your compassion on this story… I’m gonna hug my own kids tighter now.
The Paradise Lost trilogy of documentaries were mind blowing, especially number three. Scott, you do these true crime vids with amazing heart and soul. The story is tragic.
Absolutely amazing mini doc Scott. You never fail to make awesome content and being a fan of True Crime this is a must watch!! This is such a heartbreaking case but you did it with such dignity and respect as always!
Thank You so much for stopping here, as I have followed this story for a long time.
Well done for finishing the job. Big respect
I remember when this happened. I was 13 and remember seeing this all over the news. My parents would use this case to show me and my younger brother how cruel this world can be. I remember being scared of going into the woods for a good while after this. So sad for those 3 boys who only spent 8 short years on this earth. I hope that who ever is responsible will someday be caught and justice will finally be served, whether that be in this life or the next. R.I.P Michael, Christopher and Stevie!
My son was the same exact age as the 3 boys at the time. Really shocked us . I was thar age at the time of the Manson Family murder spree..every generation has a case that remains in their hearts & stays there.. God bless
Excellent video, Scott. Sad story! RIP Stevie. Christopher and Michael in Heaven. God knows who murdered and abused these boy. That person will meet His judgment when they die.
This case as a whole was soooo tragic. I’m so glad you did a piece on this, Scott. No one could’ve done it better.
Yes it took a long time for them to get this right. Thank you Scott.
Love your channel such a great variety and tactfully done keep it up
Thank you so much Karen! Very appreciated! Whoops, Kearen I mean. That’s a great name!
I've followed this story for a very long time. I remember something that 17 yr old Damian said during an interview that "people are afraid of what they don't understand " So profound for someone so young. It broke my heart. Those boys could have been my own kids. Wearing black, listening to Metallica.
The is also a movie starring Reese Witherspoon as Stevie Branches mother called Devils Knot.
Tragic what happened to the 3 little boys Terrifying what happened to the 3 teenagers that were blamed..if Celebrities didnt get involved ,they'd still be locked up or unalived...
They also wore Reby McIntyre shirts. Don't believe a documentary that was pro one side. Look at all of the evidence. Those 3 boys should still be in jail.
Scott, I've seen every documentary about The West Memphis 3 and this is by far, the best. You show such compassion and you have a drive and a passion to tell their story, Stevie, Michael,
and Christopher. which is very rarely ever told. I wish other's would try your style of story telling. Thank you, Scott, for all your hard work and for being the voice of the victims. ❤❤❤
You are right Scott. Those boys deserve to be remembered. When people think about this case they usually think about the guys falsely accused. But what about sweet innocent kids? People need to get to know them and who they were. What kind of candy did they like and what was their favorite cartoons? They truly deserve JUSTICE!!
So glad you went back and found him. Your amazing....
I love your video's! I love how you give the up most respect to those 3 young men who lost their lives as well as to those children playing at recess. Not many people would go out of there way to show as much respect as you do. Thank you for this video and reminding people of those 3 young boys.
I have had this documentary saved on my “to watch later” for a month now and I finally got to watch it. I remember when this all happened in 1993 I saw it on the news and have seen every documentary and news clip since (because I just couldn’t fathom this happening to 3 precious boys) and you Scott have done one of the BEST and most respectful documentaries I have seen. But that doesn’t surprise me as it is you and that is how you do these. Thank you ❤
Thank you so much for keeping these boys' memory alive. I always thought it was someone that was a trucker. It was right next to the carwash and it had to have been more than just one person, obviously. When I read something about the knots way they were tied was more of a sailor's knot. Now those boys might have known how to have tied a sailor's knot but I doubt it. So whoever it was that went into Bojangles I believe is the murderer. And that person was not alone they gotten their truck and they just went on down the road, pretty much on to the next. I remember this case because my children were the age of these little boys. And that cuts deep and it hurts. But Scott every time that you do a video like this you always bring a very empathetic and a respect that others don't. And I can tell when certain things really bother you and this really bothered you. I appreciate you keeping the memory of these little boys alive. Anyone that has had loss, don't ever forget to say their names. Thank you Scott stay safe❤✌️
Thank you Natasha. I believe the same theory. Unless they have committed another crime and their DNA is in the system they may never get caught
You deserve way more views for all the hard work you do! God Bless you and all the people whose stories you cover! May you and them all have peace!!
Such a horrible tragic story those poor little boys had to be so scared. It makes me so angry that another human being could be so cruel to do such a thing. What kinda person does this to innocent children? it truly breaks my heart. I'm sure it had to be very difficult and emotional for you as well Scott.
Same , it’s so hard to comprehend
followed from 1993. Never sat right with me that the 3 were convicted. I have my thoughts on who the real killer was but I know fo rsure 3 little boys are gone forever and 3 young men were wrongfully accused and convicted. Thank u for what u do Scott.
@@smartcookie493 I agree. I also have my thoughts on who I think did it. We probably both have the same idea
Satanists do..look at Damien Echols today....he is fully satanic
One of the boys confessed go look up Damien Echols today you will see how satanic he is of course they did it
I watched this one today and you did a beautiful job! All I could do is cry and pray for these 3 Angels ❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thank you Scott for covering this story.I first heard about it in Criminal Justice class
❤Thank you, Scott, for all you did on this video. R.I.P dear boys, Angels in Heaven❤😢😢😢😊❤❤
Fantastic work on this film Scott! I remember when this happened. I was 23 at the time. How could someone do something like this to 3 young innocent boys I'll never understand? Evil is real and walks with us everyday! ✌️
Some people have no morals ,,,,,probably why she said be nice ,,,,great documentary. Your always so respectful.
Scott, first off thank you for doing this in such a respectful way and promising to go back to find little Stevie’s grave. I can cry right now. This happened on my birthday in HS May 5, 1993. I turned 18. About 4 years later I watched Paradise one, then after that Paradise 2 and 3. I also had access to pictures and court documents. I was friends with Dana Moore, (Michael’s mom)and Mark Byers- he thought that the WM3 were guilty then…changed his mind that they were innocent, and Terry Hobbs did it….had to Step back, away it was TOO much. I also believe with you those murders DID take place in Robin Hood Hills there were NOT murdered elsewhere. Everything about this is sad, horrific. Michelle Byers dying right after her son dying. Dana getting divorced from her husband, and Mark Byers dying, The WM3 being released, no answers…who did it. Let me just say you can’t just decide by watching all 3 documentaries on HBO, there is SO MUCH MORE. I know Pam’s father was so heartbroken over his grandsons death, he was crying so hard, and said he’d see him in heaven again, was his grandfathers grave next to his? and I wonder why Stevie was buried in Illinois? Your right the real WM3 is about those little boys. My heart is broken over this case..no one wins, where is the killer? I just wanted to say about Jessie M , is that his father gave the cops permission to go there. This is just a bad , sad, terrible horrific murder of 3 innocent 8 year old little boys.♥️♥️♥️✌️ Roxanne in Orlando
I was a junior in high school when this happened and lived a little over an hour south of West Memphis. It was really big news and it was horrible!! Who would kill 3 8 year olds?? And tying them up like that was really creepy!! After watching the documentaries, I didn't believe that Echols, Miskelly and Baldwin did it, and I after all of these years, I still don't believe they did it!! It's interesting that you have files on the cases!! Can they be found online??
Having access to those documents I’m interested of your opinion about Chris Morgan, Brian Holland and Bobby De Angelo . I have seen most of the info about the case , but just came across the videos of those suspects. I’m amazed they weren’t looked into more . What’s your opinion on that ?
Your such a good person scott,, you are the perfect person for this channel, i suppose thats why you decided to do it. You couldn't leave without finding the last grave, proves your kindness & feeling toward these three young lives so tragically taken.. THANKS FOR THE VIDEO.🙏❤️✌️
You are a remarkable man, Scott! You didn't give up and you finished what you started for those boys. God bless you ❤
I appreciate you for bringing this to us with so much respect for all involved. I love you Scott. ❤❤❤
Very sad story. Rest in peace to those poor boys who barly got a chance of life. To the person who did it (not that they deserve to be called a person) is caught and rots. Scott well done as always. I love that you didnt give up on finding little Stevie’s grave.
Lovely video Scott
When the murders first happened and were broadcast on the local news in Tennessee, I was shocked. Usually it's one child that's found dead. I have hope that the truth will come out one day. Great treatment of this crime and thanks for your dedication in making this video. RIP Stevie, Michael and Christopher 🙏❤️🚲🌄🌈🕊️
You’ve done a great thing with this video!
I drive truck and am in west Memphis all the time. I recognize the plight of which you share with us.
I too am a follower of this story, which in my opinion, has not been solved.
Thanks so much for this upload, Scott, glad you were able to finish it properly. I remember all that satanic, devil worship "craze" that happened in the late 80's, early 90's, we had our fair share of that here in Saskatchewan, day care, babysitters, foster parents, all caught up in that hysteria.
This may be your best video, imo. Speaks volumes of your character, Scott. Well done.
Thank you for sharing this Scott. I'm in the UK but remember this very well due to "satanic panic" and being one of those weird kids at the time in 93. In 2007 (around the time a certain individual had his DNA pinched) I somehow ended up getting very involved (through the forums at the time) in the campaign to release the WM3. Your footage was the first time I saw the inside of Bojangles properly, I've always wondered where the case might have ended up if the evidence taken there that night was treated properly. Justice for the West Memphis 6. If new DNA testing is ever allowed to go ahead I'm sure the WM3 will be exonerated and the real perp will be identified. Arkansas blocking testing is a disgrace.
THIS!!! 💯 I still have my "Free The WM3" sticker from 20 years ago!
The fact that the accused want the test run and the state keeps pushing against it is beyond telling. DNA doesn't lie and that's what Arkansas is afraid of. They know who did it and know that it wasn't those boys otherwise they wouldn't be throwing every legal roadblock up that they can.
I and most American believe the 3 teenage boys who were obsessed with rock and roll darkness, are the killers to the three boys. Their adult friend, the one caught at the restaurant in muddy clothing helped the dark teenage boys dispose of the young boys' bodies because teenager wont know what to do.
If the authorites would collect more evidence on the 3 boys bodies today, they would find all the killers DNA under finger nails cause back in the 90s, DNA testing wasnt a thing, so I guranntee if they reexamined the boys bodies, they would find the DNA of all three of teenage killers and the adult who disposed of them by doing the genealogy testing to find the killers!
This case happened in the early 90s which means they need to reexamine their bodies since no one is being held accountable todsy for their deaths since the 3 satanic killer boys were helped out by rich elite celebrities to get them out of prison.
This is ridiculous!
The DA of West Memphis NEEDS TO DO THEIR damn JOBS and open up this unsolved child murder case!
We are way more advanced today then we were in 1993.
This case could be solved if our government wasnt LAZY and TYRANNICAL!
Satanic panic was a real thing back in the 90s and its starting back up today! People are killing each other literally every other day in America.
We deal with pedophiles every week and we literally have family annihilators every other week in America bc satan time is almost up. Satan and his demons are very real, but sadly, lost people who follow the corrupt world DONT KNOW HOW TO TELL THE DEVIL NO!!!
It's this simple.
Lost people like Satanist literally believe if they do evil, satan will give them the world [rich and fame].
And Satan tried to tempt Jesus with the same offer but Jesus said, "Get behind me satan, Do not tempt the Lord thy God!"
And if satan tempts our Lord Jesus Christ, Satan will temp any corrupt human! Most won't tell him no.
I commend you for not giving up on finding Stevie Branch. It shows you really care.
You always do such a kind and thoughtful job honoring those you visit. This is such a sad, heartbreaking and tragic case. You did a great job covering this in a way the boys and their families would be proud of.
Thank you for sharing this.
I can only imagine how terrified those poor little boys were. 😢 you did an awesome job remembering them. how sweet of you to bring them each a little car. I hope whoever did this is living a miserable horrible life.
Beautifully done, Scott. I know these stories well and I still cried seeing their Graves. Thank you for your work on this and putting your heart into it; it was very apparent. ❤
awesome scott, i really love how you narrated this story, i can tell how much hard work and effort you put into this video to make sure it was prepared, this was so sad, i heard other vloggers talk about this story but i really liked your as it was more detailed, to say this was a heart breaking story is not enough, i cant even think of a word for it, young lives gone too soon, far too soon in a horrific way :(
My man, nothing but respect. You said you would come back and you did just that. What a sad story that has no ending.
RIP all three innocent defenseless babies. Such a sad story.
