AARON: IT SMELLED LIKE, IT SMELLED LIKE A CIGARETTE JUST GETTING LILT BUT IT WAS A DIFFERENT KIND, AARON: THEY UM, THEY WENT DOWN TO WATCH THOSE MEN AND. The two teens apparently complied with Terrys demands and ripped the clothes off of the children. 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. WHAT I THINK HAPPENED TO THEM. Terry Hobbs was basically unaccounted for from 5pm to approx. HE ALWAYS TELLS THEM WHAT TO DO AND THEY DO IT. I hear you. The second that Terry would have hit Michael in the face or head, would also be the split second he knew all three had to die. Jacoby likely felt at that time that the only thing to do to protect himself was to put himself as far away from Hobbs as possible. She claimed to have seen the two walking as she was on her way to pick up her sister from work but there are serious problems with her statement. He had LG and Buddy rip off the clothes of the boys and then pulled out a knife and began to bite and stab the scrotum of one boy. According to statements, and as noted earlier, after Terry hit the first boy a few times, he stopped long enough to yell at him. Michael, being the first one attacked, was hit so violently and with such anger, that he was almost immediately rendered unconscious. However, therearesuspects and there is an abundance of evidence open to the public. Indicating that, just like the 4perp indicates, Stevie was alive the longest. For me Hobbs did it. Another indicator that points to Terrys guilt and the truth in the alleged Buddy/LG statements, lies with what was discovered on Michael Moores body. It would explain SO MUCH about how Hobbs flew under the radar. This is the reason why David remembers the three playing; two on bicycles and one on a skateboard. If anyone might know where the boys were going or what their plans had been for that day, it would most likely have been Aaron. Before I continue, its important to bring up the alleged homosexuality of Terry Hobbs, which , in my opinion lends credence to the entire theory. When prosecutor John Fogelman interviewed Buddy later, Buddy repeatedly told him that he had an alibi for the 5th despite the fact that Fogelman never even brought it up himself. Due to the possibility that they wiped these items on their skin, I believe Terry would have taken those items with them when they left. I allege that Terry tied up one side of Stevie and then told either Buddy or LG to finish doing the other side. 6:00-6:30. For instance: Terry says the two ran in to an older whiteman who told them the boys were heading towards the woods. RIDGE: IT IS OKAY, YOUVE BEEN DOWN THERE BEFORE? Either way, either one or two of the perpetrators decided it was necessary to actually get into the water to submerge the boys. Then, I believe the men left around 5:45 and headed out of West Memphis towards Lakeshore trailerpark where Terrys alleged drug dealer lived. She tells police that LG said to her,dont tell police you saw Damien on the service road or you will get in trouble. I believe he intended to terrify and threaten them so they would never, ever speak of what they had seen. I allege that all three men returned to Terrys home and cleaned themselves up, which most likely involved washing mud off their shoes. So why didnt Terry return to the Moores house in the four frantic hours he searched for Stevie in their tiny neighborhood? So, here is my theory of what happened. If Echols is successful in court, the DNA testing process will likely take months.

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. I believe that after Terrys attack on Stevies face, and with Stevie still quite conscious, this is when the tying of the children began. What are the chances that boys would act out the way homosexual men have sex, in addition to one of them saying they watched homosexual men have sex, and it not be true? VICKIE: SO THEN UM, II JUST GOT AARON OUT OF THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW. OKAY WHAT WERE THESE MAN DOING? Who fed Stevie if not Terry?

WHAT DID YOU ALL HIDE AND WAIT FOR THEM? To corroborate this letter, Byers and Hicks lawyer and investigator contacted Bennies friend, Billy Stewart. Upon arriving home with his younger daughter, he told police that he did not see his older step-son, Stevie. So although at least some experts said the boys were not punched, I dont believe thats true at all. Which is right in line with why this attack would have occurred. My suspicion is that LGs parents knew he participated in this crime ( I will touch more on this later) and Narlene, being LGs aunt, probably had some limited knowledge of his participation, too. When Narlene was interviewed she claimed to have dropped LG off at his home. [3], Terry Hobbs was 24 years old when he broke into the home of a neighbor, Mildred French.
