involved, parents involved.

It's a very delicate situation.

I want you to be thorough,

but I want you to be easy

with your questioning.

I will personally be directing this search.

Crittenden County Search and Rescue

is gonna be assisting us.

Memphis PD will help us out.

The electric company has got

a full list of vacant houses.

We got plenty of civilian volunteers.

Obviously, this takes priority.

Everything else is in the back seat

from now on till we find these boys.

And let me tell you something.

We're gonna find these missing boys.

This is Steve Jones.

I'm in the woods by that little creek they call

Devil's Den. I found something.

ALLEN:
I'm on my way.

(GRUNTING IN EXERTION)

POLICE OFFICER #1 ON RADIO:

We've now found all three bodies.

Clothes and bicycles.

POLICE OFFICER #2 ON RADIO: Copy that.

PAM:
No! No!

(SOBBING)

Stevie! Oh, God!

No!

(SCREAMING)

RIDGE:
Well, I just wanted

to ask y'all about some folks

who might have come by.

I see y'all had lots of visitors.

TERRY:
Mmm-hmm.

People been kind. And generous.

Did a young man named

Bobby DeAngelo stop by?

Yeah, he come by.

His parents are friends of ours.

Was there anybody with him?

Yeah. Um, this other boy, Chris.

Christopher Morgan.

They used to drive an ice cream truck around

here in the neighborhood.

Was it this young man?

Mmm-hmm. Yeah, that's him.

I think Pam fixed him a plate.

There was so much food.

Bobby asked us for a picture once of Stevie.

He, uh...

He come over here

and wanted to show Stevie a ring

of some kind of metal

or something like a skull or a snake.

And then he asked me for a picture of Stevie.

And I gave him one.

Okay. Okay.

Well, we're gonna need

to get some pictures of Stevie

to show to people we interview, and, um...

Also, we're, uh,

gonna need to go ahead and get

blood and hair samples from the two of you.

Just, you know, part of our investigation.

Take it. Just take it.

Just take all of it.

- I don't want it.

- That's okay.

I don't want it.

I don't want it. Is that gonna help?

It's okay.

It's okay.

(PHONE RINGING)

Oceanside PD.

How may I direct your call? Uh-huh. Right.

Hey. I'm Chris Morgan.

You wanted to talk to me?

Last time I seen Stevie was

about a year and a half ago.

When I sold him some ice cream.

I'm sure I sold ice cream

to all three of those boys.

Bobby and me went over to Stevie's house

'cause Bobby was close with them.

We wanted to show, um, remorse.

It felt good. They accepted me.

Uh, what was your overall impression

of Chris Morgan?

MCDONOUGH:
Well, look,

there's something going on here,

and it makes me a little suspicious

that he left for California in such a hurry.
