Not even Damien, Jason or Jessie had any of that happen to them, and they were the ones who were falsely arrested for the crime. My feeling is that LG, thinking of a close and safe spot where he could go, would have asked Terry to drop him off at the Laundromat, less than a mile away from Terrys house. My theory is that Stevie finished dinner and took off with Michael again to find Chris, and Terry and Amanda then headed over to the Jacobys home. RIDGE: DID YOU EVER SMELL THE SMOKE? RIDGE: IT IS OKAY, YOUVE BEEN DOWN THERE BEFORE? After Stevie was gone, he expected her to get over it right away and said she was neglecting her wifely duties.

To corroborate this letter, Byers and Hicks lawyer and investigator contacted Bennies friend, Billy Stewart. 9pm the night of the 5th so we need to theorize what may have happened because he has no alibi. I believe that certainly Buddy, and perhaps LG as well, participated in the crime because of The Bystander Effect; they partook in the crime out of fear and/or compliance, but they did not have intentions to murder. Her relay of the conversation seems to reveal that Narlene is talking to LG as if they both know that Damien is guilty. I just find it amazing that she let this slip out and the police never even caught on. Terry showed up at his good friend Davids house to drop off Amanda so he and David could go buy marijuana. Currently, Hobbs has not been charged with anything related to the murders. Basically, he believes that Stevie was a sexualized child.

VICKIE: UM, WEST MEMPHIS POLICE HAD ALL OF THE AREA ROPED OFF, VICKIE: I WENT TO THE DEAD END IT WAS YOU KNOW. Further, I have another theory why the crime scene appeared so clean. Was it because he was running around frantically trying to cover up for the crime? If Terry had been spotted driving around with LG by either the Moores, Byers or any policemen who might have been in the vicinity, that could have raised some difficult questions for Terry to answer. Further, there is some belief that part of the injury to Stevies penis was also a bitemark. In the beginning I thought it was TH. We have a man, by his own admittance, who was in the spot where they crime occurred all night long.

In fact, she too brings up that Buddy was working that day as if that proved anything. When reading her first statements to police, it raises serious doubts about her alleged sighting of the three boys. Buddy told them that Billy Stewart was holding weed at that time. And in another statement made a week later, Aaron again says he believes his friends got caught spying on the men and one of them ordered the others to hold the boys while he killed them: AARON: NOBODY EVEN KNOWS THAT.. THAT I KNOW WHAT REALLY HAPPENED. I actually believe there is a good possibility that at least LG already knew the two men. He most likely began to tie up one side of Stevie using a figure eight knot and then went to Michael and tied up one side of him with a square knot. On top of Terry possibly molesting Stevie and being very jealous of him, I've no doubt Pam kissing another man and then the subsequent murders is just glaring motive. I understood that Terry had not previously called the police to report that Stevie was missing.. Its also interesting that Narlene is claiming that Damiens mother is lying about Damien being with her. He systematically destroyed every member of his family, traumatizing them with years of extreme sexual abuse/grooming and beatings.
