Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory Page #2

Synopsis: In 1993, a horrific triple child murder was discovered in West Memphis, Arkansas, but the reaction to it precipitated a horror of its own. This film follows up on the story of the three boys, called the West Memphis Three, who were convicted for this crime with questionable evidence. For years, the boys' fate sparked a mass movement striving to prove their innocence while the state is equally determined to avoid admitting it could have been wrong. Through the swirl of new evidence and suspects, the Three tell their own tale about enduring this injustice against the opinions of the victim's families in a debate that eventually came to an inadequate resolution.

I'm sorry

about that.

But all I ask is

That y'all go back

and look at the evidence.

Just- Just stop

and think

And don't let your

emotions about it all

Get to your head

And just stop and think and

look back at the evidence.

And look where

the evidence does point.

And ask yourself,

"Now who do you think

really done it?"

Jessie Miskelly:
they know that

they got three innocent people

Locked up for a crime

they didn't commit.

I didn't kill nobody.

But, you know, to me,

I think it's wrong,

Because, you know,

it ain't about us.

It's about the victims theirselves,

you know what Im saying?

They need peace. The

victim's family needs peace.

And I think the police

owes that to 'em.

The facts of the crime scene

are actually

A pretty interesting

part of the case,

Because this crime

Took place

in a wooded area.

It was near

two major freeways.

It happened right near

a truck stop,

Which is now closed.

But it was a major

truck stop.

People would be in and out

of that truck stop

24 hours a day.

It was open 24 hours

a day.

And it also adjoined

A 24-Hour-A-Day

truck wash place.

So there was- There was

traffic in that area.

Don Horgan:

there was so much hysteria

Around the nature

of the crimes.

There was a lot of fear

in the community.

And naturally there was an

incredible amount of pressure

On the police

to find who's responsible.

But as days go by,

there isn't-

The evidence doesn't

obviously point

To any particular

individual, again,

Because there's very little

left at the scene.

At about 6:
00

on may the 5th,

Chris byers, Stevie branch,

and Michael Moore

Were last seen headed

toward robin hood hills.

Mike Allen:
the pipe

crosses 10-Mile bayou.

This is the trail that

goes across the area

Which is known

as turtle hill.

The trail will either

split and go that way,

Which leads into the area

of the crime scene,

Which lays

right in this area,

Or the trail continues

straight forward

And goes into the back end

of blue beacon.

I was directed by an officer

that they had-

Had found

a tennis shoe

Floating in a ditch.

I had to go down

to cross

To get on the other side

to get closer

And fell into

the water here

And came up the bank

And around,

over to the area

Where the tennis

shoe was.

I walked

around a tree

And stepped off

into the water

And was reaching

for the tennis shoe.

And with my feet

I could feel

An object.

And I raised up

And I discovered

this body.

John Fogelman:
detective ridge, I

believe that you'd indicated earlier

Something about a stick in

the water stuck in the water?

- Yes, sir.

- Tell me about that again.

Ridge:
there was a stick in the water
