Brilliant podcast, factual informative and well produced. Also introduced me to the West Memphis three case which I've become obsessed with.

I was flicking through true crime stuff earlier looking for other podcasts and stuff and saw a Netflix film/documentary called West of Mephis, only read a little bit but is that what it's about?

And somehow gets tickets for every away game, yet 18 months ago he was pleading with anyone on twitter for a Wembley spare as he'd only been to 3 home games that season.

I think it's almost impossible to have built up that many credits already to have been away yesterday.

you only needed 7 aways from last year plus the home cup games to get a Utd ticket

Three 8 year old boys were killed in west Memphis in May 93. The local police were struggling for suspects, then a local cop who was involved in looking after youth offenders once out of jail, he was called Jerry Driver, he suggested the police look at a 18 year old called Damien Echols, so the police spoke to a associate of his called Jesse Misskelley who had a really low IQ after 12 hours of intensive questioning they got a confession out of Misskelley saying it was him Echols and another friend called Jason Baldwin.

That confession was very questionable at the time as he got a lot of stuff about the crime wrong and probably wasn't intelligent enough to try and double bluff the police.

Anyway, with virtually no evidence they sentenced Misskelley and Baldwin to life plus 40 years and Echols to death.

Then this documentary came out in 96

Which, although bias in favour of the three convicted, highlighted how floored the case was, the free the west Memphis three movement gathered pace and spawned two more documentaries



And celebrities including Eddie Vedder, Metallica, Johnny Depp and others got involved and got them out.

Then Peter Kackson produced West of Memphis which is an overview of the whole case, but heavily biased towards the west Memphis three and it implicates other suspects.

It's a fascinating case. I think they did it, but the case against them was so weak.

Should you choose to watch the first paradise lost I will warn you the first 5 minutes are incredibly graphic, to the point that as a father I found it a really tough watch.

Paradise Lost are great documentaries although incredibly difficult to watch in parts of you say, especially with the first one. I'm very surprised you say that you think they did it though.

I didn't at first, but I've listened to multiple podcasts and done some furthur reading, I just think that it would've taken more than 1 person to do it and the other suspects were individuals. I'm certain it wasn't Byers so its either them or Hobbs or a complete unkown.

Think it's almost certainly Hobbs and a mate/mates
 
Podcasts are an awesome source of new media. I listen to loads of them. Whatever your interests you'll find a podcast that will both educate and entertain you.
