I don't know if this has already been brought up, but I came across a website that has any and all information on the WM3 case. It has over 50,000 documents and photos.
I was a WM3 supporter for many years, but after coming across the website, I am on the fence about it now. I read all 500 pages of Damien's mental health record. He was not okay, he probably still isn't. It is pretty disturbing material.
I will agree with who ever it was that said the Paradise Lost Documentaries were biased. They absolutely were. They wanted you to believe that the three boys were innocent. Those documentaries are what sparked the theory that Terry Hobbs was the killer.
I am gonna post the link for the website. I encourage everyone who thinks the three are innocent, to read the documents, especially the mental health records, and then form an opinion. Please just don't take the documentaries as absolute fact.

They were killed right next to a truck stop / blue beacon truck wash. You never know who they may have run into in the woods. I wore Concert shirts back in the day. Had long hair. Partied like crazy etc. Never crossed my mind to kill anybody. Especially a kid!

The Hobbs DNA is overplayed as far as implicating Terry Hobbs as a legitimate suspect. It is also often falsely asserted that Terry Hobbs was unaccounted for up to 4 hours from 5:30 pm to 9:30 pm on the night of the murders.

We know Terry Hobbs was accounted for at 6:30 pm on May 5, 1993 when the boys were most likely attacked at Robin Hood Hills. Terry was in his drive-way on the other side of the neighborhood at 6:30 pm when Michael Moore's mother Dana drove up in her car and spoke to Terry asking if Michael and Stevie were over there playing, because she was trying get her son to come home for dinner. Michael's sister Dawn sat in the car while her mother spoke to Terry. This was related by Dawn Moore on Facebook.

Terry Hobbs was accounted for until roughly 7:30 or so when he went and searched near Robin Hood, because that was around where Dawn Moore said her brother had ridden off to. The fact is there was only about a half hour or more of time in which Hobbs could have committed the murders. And around 8:10 or 8:30 he's accounted for again by other parents and even the police who spoke with him. None of them noticed him with muddy clothing, or wet clothing, or blood on him. There was no evidence that he had just gotten done hastily murdering three children, stripping and tying them up and disposing of their bodies and clothing in a ditch and their bikes in a bayou, as well as cleaning up the crime scene and changing his clothing.

At approximately 9:00 p.m., Terry Hobbs went to Catfish Island to pick up Pam Hobbs at the end of her work shift. During the night family members, neighbors, friends and the West Memphis police searched for the missing boys until 3:30 am.

The short amount of time and the lack of evidence that Terry had just committed a brutal crime of this nature would seem to suggest more than a few holes in the Hobbs allegations.

The facts on the "Hobbs hair" are often never given and is often exaggerated when it comes to it being located on the shoe lace, and over-played by defense lawyers like Dennis Riordan (who was Phil Spector's lawyer), who misrepresent it and over sell it as if it were definitive proof of someone else having murdered the victims... problem is... it wasn't. At first hearing about the hair, it sounds like stronger evidence than it really is.

The hair was a hair fragment, possibly one described as being a possible beard hair. A photo of the possible hair shows two small hairs, both of which being so small that it would seem unlikely to have come from the commission of the crime, and instead be cross transfer, which could have been brought to the crime scene by one of the victims. The victims were not tied up with their same corresponding shoe laces. Two of the victims were tied up with one white lace and one black lace. The hair was found on one of the laces used to bind Michael Moore, but the lace could have belonged to Stevie Branch. Additionally all three boys had been in Stevie's house that day and Terry was Stevie's step-dad. The hair was something like stubble, like you'd find in the bathroom after someone shaves. Any of the boys could have picked it up on their shoes or clothing.

The hair also was not "tied" into the lace like it's characterized in the media. It was stuck into the bindings, that is true, but the "tied" into the lace stuff makes it sound like it's a big long head hair, which it was not.

Additionally there were 26 other hairs found on the victims that could have originated from the biological parents and family of the victims, but could not be differentiated due to the type of DNA testing used. The only reason Hobbs was singled out was because he was a step-parent, and thus not biologically related and as such could be proven to for certain not to be a hair from the victims.

No other DNA from the location matches back to Hobbs. There's nothing other than the hair. There's also other DNA and hairs on the victims that do not match to Hobbs, nor to his friend David Jacoby. There's also some partial DNA found on the ligatures of Stevie Branch that came back with some consistent DNA markers for Damien Echols, however the DNA was so common as to match countless people. Many of these other DNA items most likely originated from officers and searchers who pulled the bodies and clothing from the ditch as well as people handling the bodies at the morgue. A few of the autopsy photos show some parts of the bodies that registered hits for DNA from someone else were actually caused by the bodies being touched without gloves. It was because DNA was still pretty new in 1993 and those things weren't handled as well back then. An example being the DNA found on Stevie's penis. In the autopsy photos, his genitals are handled with bare hands for the photographs.

The hair located on the tree stump that they attribute to David Jacoby in is also really exaggerated on it's significance. There's no proof that it was Jacoby's hair for one. The DNA tests said the match was about a 1-12 match. So if you had a room of 12 people, at least one of them would match to it. This hair was also recovered from the crime scene 2 weeks later. 2 WEEKS LATER! It very likely originated from one of the people working the crime scene.

This is one of the defense's own experts' opinions on the hairs that they're claiming are proof that Terry Hobbs and possibly David Jacoby did the murders:

"The two hairs that I know about – the one that could have in fact come from Mr. Hobbs and the one that could have in fact come from David Jacoby – constitute what I call weak evidence. Because there are other people it could have come from and there isn’t any way to really prove our selection of possible sources for that hair. I don’t think – my personal opinion – I don’t think that that hair evidence would be enough to convict Mr. Hobbs or Mr. Jacoby or anyone that would be in a similar situation because it’s simply not strong enough. The percentages I gave of people who could be the source of those hairs are 1.5% of the population in the respect to one hair and 7% in respect to the other hair. That’s not particularly strong evidence and especially in the context of what most people are accustomed to with DNA testing." - Thomas Fedor, Forensic Serologist

The hairs weren't compelling evidence according to their own experts. The hairs could have come from somewhere else and more likely from someone working the crime scene in the case of the "Jacoby hair".

There is no case against Terry Hobbs, due to a lack of time, a lack of anyone seeing him with filthy or wet clothes, nobody seeing him acting strange, and a hair that not only could have been brought to the scene by the victims on their own clothing, but also isn't even 100% sure to be his hair. Is the hair interesting as evidence? Yes. Does it prove he did it? No. All it really proves is that he was the step-dad to one of the victims. There's often hairs on murder victims left by family members and hairs just from their general living environment on them.

This is a photo of the Hobbs' hair. It's one of those tiny hairs. The bodies were submerged in water in a ditch overnight and were handled by the police and searchers as well as people at the morgue.
Despite claims by supporters, Terry Hobbs was accounted for on May 5th and the Hobbs hair is not incriminating evidence against him. These same supporters overlook the fact that the ones without a credible alibi that night are the convicted child killers - Jason Baldwin, Damien Echols and Jessie Misskelly.

Damien, Jason and Jesse are innocent. That deal they took was bullshit and should be expunged. Terry Hobbs and some of his buddies did this.

Have you read all the documents pertaining to the case? What convinces you of their innocence? I'm genuinely curious because I am on the fence still.

[Jacinda]

Has anyone heard if there was evidence of sexual penetration?
Or if the abandoned apartments nearby?

Thank you so much for that post.
I've always been pretty firm on the idea that Hobbs was the one! I had no idea about the other hairs and the fact he was the only one they could use what with not being related/different type of DNA.
I also wasn't aware that he was seen at the times mentioned.
I'm still set on Damien, Jesse and Jason having not been involved. Until you tell me I'm wrong there too haha

Where did you find your information on the case/evidence?

[chumster76]

Too bad they left them out. If you look at the evidence its pretty clear they are guilty.

WM3 are now,and were then,100% INNOCENT

What the documentary didn't tell you was "Mr. Bojangles" had a broken arm in a cast & sling do you really think he could catch & hold 3 boys??
