Unsolved Crimes Around the World 🌍

---

The West Memphis Murders Three of the most widely known erroneous murder convictions all came at once in 1994, when teenagers Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley, Jr. and Jason Baldwin were all arrested and given massive sentences for the “Satanic ritual” murder of three younger boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. After 18 years, multiple appeals and several advances in DNA technology, the three men were released for time served after using the rare Alford plea deal, in which they pled guilty but still asserted their innocence. We still don’t know who actually killed those three boys back in 1993, though, and while there has been tons of coverage on the innocence of the West Memphis Three – and that Devil’s Knot movie, if you want to count that – the world needs a Making a Murderer-style docu-series that digs back into this case from square one, going deeper than shows like 48 Hours and True Crime with Aphrodite Jones could in their episodes on the case.
