Have you ever been called the Queer Pepsi Lastly, Stevie branch apparently told his cousin that Terry was molesting him and Amanda. David Jacoby was never interviewed either. It seems extremely unlikely that one person would have been able to do this on their own in such a short period of time. He was one of four children and came from a strict and religious family. In Terry Hobbs daughters own diary she talks about having dreams about having sex with her dad and that she is sure that he didnt molest her from age 15 years old to 19. After he removed his clothes, he ripped out one shoelace from Michaels shoe and cut it in half with his knife. But what we found over the years of investigating and in the process of creating the series people, their memories fade. terry hobbs | The Puzzle of the West Memphis Murders According to David Jacoby, he and Terry drove down Barton street searchingfour separate times, passing Michael Moores home each time. Apparently, LG walked in and asked for his cousin Dominis telephone number. One of them even went up and knocked on the door and spoke to Michaels sister, Dawn. Misskelly later recanted and claimed he was tired, ready to go home, and said what the detectives wanted him to say. The question about Terry propositioning David Jacoby has lead some people to defend Jacoby, claiming that he would not have told people he was propositioned if he really had a secret gay relationship with Terry Hobbs. 1 cop's mission: do whatever it takes to dissuade a focus on Terry. I theorize they then cleaned up the blood from Chris injuries by scraping up the mud, grass, leaves and blood and throwing it into the drainage ditch. (Interestingly, Chris was referred to as the 3rd child in the alleged confessions. That leaves one very glaring, unexplainable question. So the chance of them basing their statements off of the practically endless information found on the internet is nil. They happen to not agree with all of his interpretations. Video footage of the crime scene also shows the boards: AARON: YES SIRRIDGE: OKAY. And, is it just a coincidence that LG and Terry were unaccounted for that night and then, strangely, they both made public appearance right at 9:00 pm at night? In 2011, the defendants were released from prison by accepting an Alford Plea, which allowed them to maintain their innocence and get out of prison, However, the plea didnt clear their convictions and all three men still have a murder charge on their record, despite their release from prison. For some reason, unknown to the public at least, Terry Hobbs was never questioned. Why would either of these men lie about who they talked to that night unless they both were lying and couldnt get their stories straight? Hobbs, who had previously been under the police scanner for the murders because of inconsistencies in his story, had later been cleared of any wrongdoing but found himself being verbally abused by Byers in front of cameras outside a courtroom. Humiliation is a strong word and punishment for the situation.

However, I do believe that this was Terrys murder and he controlled it. I learned through my connection in the drug-trade that Mr. Hobbs preferred sexwith young boys.

As I mentioned previously, this statement is an enormous indicator of truth, in my opinion. The way that the boys were found undressed and tied up would have been humiliating! I've no doubt he killed Stevie to "get even" with Pam. He continued to say that it was known in the drug world that Terry was gay or bisexual and that he preferred sex with young boys. This is supported by evidence as well. Not only did Billy Stewart allege to have seen David and Terry kiss two different times, but he also claims to have delivered drugs to both men at a gay bar called J-Wags. That hair was then secured to Michaels body as Terry tied him up. apparently Terry said just 2 weeks after the deaths that Pam was neglecting her duties as a wife, apparently Terry was jealous of how much Pam loved and gave attention to Stevie. AND I SAID I DONT KNOW ILL BE GLAD TO GO GET HIM IF YOU THINK IT WILL HELP, IF YOU TALK TO HIM, AND HE SAID I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. 9pm the night of the 5th so we need to theorize what may have happened because he has no alibi. 4:50 Terry takes Pam to work but first drives by the Moores looking for Stevie who did not come home by 4:30. If it wasnt for your choices, this never would have happened!And, the act of tying up the boys, especially the manner in which they were tied up, looked somewhat sexual in nature. I allege that LG was confronted by his parents because of some evidence that pointed to his guilt, and when caught, LG told them that Damien had committed the murder and he that had only helped them in some small way. Those who believe they are innocent claim it was a witch hunt due to Satanic Panic. Whats more suspicious, is that Buddy originally told police that he was with his family barbecuing on the 5th but when his mother spoke to Fogelman, she never mentions anything about Buddy being home with her that night.

A month later three teens, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were arrested for the murders of the three eight year old boys. This was an attempt, clearly, to make the discovery of the boys more difficult. He was most likely placed near the tree becase one of the perpetrators used the tree as support in order to enter the water.

They also could have used them to dry and clean their feet after entering the ditch. One thing that was agreed upon if you read between the lines, is that Chris was dead before he was put in the water. After the murders of the three boys, the general understanding by the public was that Chris had been emasculated and very meticulously had had the skin removed from his penis. I was almost 21, a new mom and lived just across the bridge, in Memphis when the murders happened. Another coincidence? Since Stevie was Terrys stepchild, its possible that Terry wanted to depersonalize Stevies face, which could make it easier for him to carry out the attack on him. This means that the boys had most likely arrived to the Blue Beacon Woods before the four men did, crossing over from the west side of the drainage ditch to the east side of the drainage ditch, on a log that lay across the ditch at the south end. Its likely that Terry was already heading to Billy Stewarts home since, according to Billy, he was Terrys drug dealer at this time. Terrys own daughter allegedly told family members, including her mother, grandmother, cousin and aunt that she had been abused by her dad and two family members even claimed to have walked in on Terry abusing his daughter. Furthermore, Terry himself claimed to be in those woods all night, up until the early morning. Also during the interview, Hobbs said he still wants to know why someone would kill the boys. Buddy also knew Billy, so he, too would have told Terry to go by Billys. This is when Terry and David would have allegedly arrived at Lakeshore, seen Buddy and LG walking together and asked them who was holding weed. Terry admitted himself that he whipped Stevie and by Amandas own account, Terry was a violent man who left welts and bruises on her when he hit her.

Terry claims to anyone and everyone who has asked about that night, that he was almost frantically searching for Stevie from 5:00pm-9:00pm at night. However, knowing that a DNA sample was found on Stevies penis coupled with the knowledge that Chris may have allegedly been bitten on his penis and scrotum as well, I feel the chances are quite high that Stevie, too, may have been bitten in his penis. Hair found at . At 6:40 the men may have shown up in the BB woods, some wrestling may have occurred and some drinking and/or smoking and even the beginning of sexual activity.

Rather than rush inside and tell Pam that Stevie was missing along with two of his friends, he walked right past Pam to the phone, called police and filed a missing person report. The most likely answer is that Stevie, Chris and Michael were playing behind Jamie Ballards home probably right around 5:00 as they headed on there way to Stevies house. Once Stevie and Chris were naked, both Bennie and Billy claim that Terry approached the boy David had been hitting, told someone to hold his legs and began to bite his scrotum repeatedly and stab at his groin. hobbs is high on my list, but with what we know (or lack thereof,) there's simply no way to say anyone is "for sure" guilty in this case. When Dixie told her of him coming in to the laundry in the small car she asked if she was sure that it wasnt Richard Simpsons car. There is an easy explanation for that, though, if its true.

Billy was merely contacted to corroborate the letter, which he did. The day after the boys went missing before they were even found, Michael Moore's parents asked Aaron's mother, Vickie Hutchinson, if Aaron could be removed from school to help find the boys. David Jacoby, in an effort to catch one of the boys, fell and skinned his knee and also snapped in his frustration and hit one boy.

But what absolutely cannot happen is that 1 cop having his reputation, career, family, and future be staked on the guilt/innocence/fortitude/silence of that dick-lover Terry.

That 1 cop will have bumped into everyone in that southern, 90s, dick-liking community. Hobbs, with the help of an author, put all that journaling into a book about the 1993 murders of his stepson Stevie Branch, and Branch's friends Michael Moore and Chris Byers. SIDEWAYS AND WE GOT IN OUR CLUB HOUSE. Echols lawyer, Patrick Benca, reviewed evidence earlier this year that was thought to have been lost. A and B represent Chris and Michaels home and the C on the map on the right represents Stevies home. In 1993, he was married to Pamela Hobbs and was the step father of Stevie Branch. Or alone at night with people swarming the area. I believe that Terry intended to further molest and/or harm me because his actions and demeanor indicated that was his goal, but I believe my continued yelling and screaming alarmed him and caused him to run off. Mark took Chris home, spanked him for being in the middle of the street and not waiting at home, told him to clean the carport and left him there cleaning at 5:30. At the same time, considering the trampled crime scene and shoddy police work, would the cops have even documented the sight of animal prints or tire tracks even if they did see it? RIDGE OKAY, NOW THE CONVERSATION YOU HAD WITH HIS AUNT WHAT IS HER NAME AGAIN? The Blue Beacon Woods was connected to the Robin Hood Hills which was the last place the three boys had been spotted on the night of the 5th. He actually interfered in a police investigation and he admitted it publicly. I believe that after Terrys attack on Stevies face, and with Stevie still quite conscious, this is when the tying of the children began. Even worse, Terry claims that he had arrived at Jacobys already searching for the boys, while David claimed that Terry arrived with the boys behind him in the street and apparently told David that he was allowing them to play until dark. If this is to be believed, it makes sense. Pam begins making dinner and getting ready for work (source). Hobbs was the stepfather of Steven Branch, one of the boys found murdered in 1993, in West Memphis, Arkansas. This is just more evidence to support the statements from Stevies family that he was being abused by Terry.). (1). Who would have fed Stevie vegetables if not his own parents? Anyway, some things the autopsy reports show us.. ~Chris was alive when he was being tied up. Apparently, the medical examiner stated that the fine scratches on Stevies penis are similar to those from children who have sexually abused, i.e: given oral sex.

Due to the suspicion surrounding Buddy and because of his erratic behavior, Bennie Guy decided to confront Buddy and ask him if he truly was involved. However, according to Billy, one of the boys kicked Terry after he was caught and brought to him. The bottom line is very simple: Terry, David, LG and Buddy all liedabout their whereabouts that night. Peretti believed that and the Echols defense team, although claiming that Chris must have drowned, all admitted that Chris died while he was being tied up. When you realize that LG and Buddy were most likely above the ditch, handing the boys bodies to the two men, you can begin to see exactly what a difficult task this was if done alone. WE ALWAYS GOT A PLACE TO HIDE BEFORE THEY CAN GET THERERIDGE: WHERE DID YOU HIDE?AARON: WE HIDE ONE TIME WE HIDE BEHIND UM A TREE. Additionally, his cousin, Charlotte claims that he was at Lakeshore before the murders, left and did not come back till the next day. But again, why would turtles only be drawn to the left side of Stevies face and none of the other boys faces? Is there any other reason why hed admit on national television that he lied? It would explain SO MUCH about how Hobbs flew under the radar. ~Stevie had bruises on the back of his hands, indicating he put up a fight. He walked into the restaurant and went directly to the payphone. For instance: Terry says the two ran in to an older whiteman who told them the boys were heading towards the woods.

AND HE SAID BECAUSE WE WERE SCARED, AND THEY WERE SCARED I GUESS OF GETTING CAUGHT THEN AND AH HE SAID MICHAEL KEPT TELLING ME THAT IT WAS AN INDIAN THING THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO AND CHRIS SAID NO THEIR GETTING READY TO HAVE SEX.
