After his alleged attack on Chris, the beating of the boys continued. Why didnt Terry search for Stevie at the Moores? Additionally, in both alleged confessions, David Jacoby was also wearing shorts. Shortly after this, Terry Hobbs noticed that the three boys were spying on the men. Terry Hobbs grew up in a strict fundementalist pentecostal home, with his father actually being a pentecostal preacher. We know from multiple sightings, including Michaels mother, that the three boys were on two bikes riding on 14th, headed to Goodwin St. at 6pm. He was also a minister in the Apostolic Pentecost Church, a fundamentalist group. Why was Terry 18 minutes late picking Pam up? I personally believe that this boy was Michael Moore. And why would Jacoby publicly and openly admit that he lied under penalty of perjury and to police back in 2007? Then, I believe the men left around 5:45 and headed out of West Memphis towards Lakeshore trailerpark where Terrys alleged drug dealer lived. This theory was supported by police who were at the crime scene. 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.

Years later it was discovered by experts for the defense that a knife had not caused the injuries to Chris penis at all. 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.

West Memphis Three: CrimeCon Experts Analyze Never-Before-Seen Terry UM, AND I WENT UP AND TALKED TO MS. MOORE AND SHE GOT AARON OUT OF CLASS. As Brent Turvey wrote in his profile of the criminal, the man who perpetrated this act against Christopher is a closet homosexual who carries shame about his homosexual tendencies.

If you read this report, it discusses threats Damien made against his parents, and they say they do not want him in their home because they are afraid of him and afraid of what he would do to the other children: http://callahan.8k.com/images/500/1/150.jpg.

And, according to Buddys cousins, Rex Heath and Charlotte Bly, not only does Buddy not have an alibi for the night of the 5th, its a possibility he lied to police about what he did that night. 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.

According to Terrys ex wife, Terry Hobbs first wife had claimed in their divorce papers that he molested their son. 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..
