When it comes to The West Memphis 3, depending on which side of the argument you stand, you can find evidence both for and against whichever person you are gunning for and I find that horrifying and interesting in equal measure.Many of the supporters based their opinions on what they learned watching one of the three HBO Documentaries in the Paradise Lost trilogy.This book will take you through the numerous scenarios and countless suspects from that moonlit night in West Memphis Arkansas in May 1993.We will look at the evidence that points to the West Memphis 3 as the killers but also at the evidence that points to numerous other suspects.Moreover, it has to be said, the result (in my mind) would be that the West Memphis 3 are either guilty of one of Arkansas deadliest murders or the main players in a truly unbelievable series of coincidences and lies to protect Terry Hobbs, Buddy Lucas, L.G. Hollingsworth and David Jacoby.We will sort out the fact from fiction and find out what really happened "Beyond Robin Hood Hills".

Jack Madison was a young mentally handicapped man in Colonial America in the 1690's during the infamous Salem Witch Trials.He was already on the run for a murder that he had committed back in England. Once the hysteria of the Salem Witch hunts started, a young boy came up missing. During the search, Jack's true identity was discovered and his handicap was misunderstood as witchcraft.Also known at the time as, The Devil's Magic.An unsuccessful interrogation by Sheriff Corwin leads to vigilante justice and young Jack being burned alive. The Sheriff believed that Jack's death was justice served. But what he did not know, was that it was just the beginning of the nightmare that would come to be known as, Backward Jack.When Jack shows up in Central Florida in the mid-1970's, two little girls come up missing and Sheriff Justos "John" Cohalla thinks that he has a serial killer on his hands. But soon realizes that what he has is more than just a killer, he has a nightmare.Finally, in early 2002 Jack possesses a young truck driver named Carlos Zuluaga. Jack's intentions are to just kill more innocent victims. But what he doesn't know is that Carlos already has his own list of victims in mind.It's a race against time for Tampa's Police Captain Tanya Leigh Roberts, F.B.I. Special Agents Jason Batchelor and Kc Ermlick to stop Jack before he strikes again.Some call him a vigilante, others call him a murderer.The F.B.I correctly calls him, Backward Jack!"There's a legend around Salem… A killer burned, but not dead. A curse on Salem, a death curse, many call it The Backward Jack's curse. They say he died as a young man, but he keeps coming back. Few have seen him and lived. Some have even tried to stop him... However, no one can. People forget he's out there, seeking justice..."

At the same time he used them to pursue his long-standing musical ambitions, relocating to Los Angeles in search of a recording contract.His frustrated ambitions, combined with his bizarre race-war obsession, would have lethal consequences as he convinced his followers to commit heinous murders on successive nights.We will look at the life and crime of America's most horrific cult leader.And explore where "The Manson Family" is today.

On August 20th, 1989, privileged brothers 21-year-old Lyle and 18-year-old Erik Menendez gunned down their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion. Entertainment executive Jose Menendez was shot in the head at point-blank range. Their mother, Kitty, was shot multiple times while trying to escape. They admitted to having committed the murders, but claimed to have been victims of abuse. The jury thought otherwise, and eventually found them guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Nicknamed "The Black Dahlia," Elizabeth Short was brutally murdered in Los Angeles in 1947, her body cut in half and severely mutilated. The Black Dahlia's killer was never found, making her murder one of the oldest cold case files in L.A. to date, and the city's most famous. In the Los Angeles area between August 8th and 10th, 1969, a small group of Charles Manson's followers brutally murdered five people at the Benedict Canyon home of director Roman Polanski. The night after, Manson, displeased at the sloppiness of the previous night's murders, joined his followers for a second night of murder and mayhem at the home of grocery store owner Leno LaBianca and his wife, Rosemary, in the Los Feliz area of L.A. These are just three of the numerous crimes in the area surrounding Beverly Hills California. Some say that those who live in the mansions that dot the landscape are part of an exclusive club. However, we will look at another exclusive club. The Beverly Hills Murder Club.

From its very first hours, it was clear that everything about the JonBenét Ramsey case would be different from virtually any investigation those involved had seen before.JonBenét was reported missing Dec. 26th, 1996, in a frantic 5:52 a.m. 9-1-1 call in which Patsy Ramsey told Boulder police she'd found a ransom note demanding the head-scratching figure of $118,000 for her daughter's safe return. No follow-up call was ever made to actually collect that money.Instead, JonBenét's lifeless body was discovered early that afternoon in a little-used room of the family's cellar by her father and a family friend, after the lone detective still on the scene suggested they look around to see if they found anything amiss.JonBenét was discovered with tape across her mouth, a ligature buried deep in the skin of her neck through use of a garrote fashioned from cord and a broken paintbrush taken from her mother's art supplies. Some of the same cord was loosely bound around her right wrist. Not noticed until the autopsy was that she'd also suffered a linear fracture to the right side of her skull, likely the result of a single blow from a blunt object.Similarly, marks on her body were interpreted by some as having been caused by a stun gun. Other investigators have dismissed the stun gun thesis.The grand jury investigating the death of JonBenét Ramsey voted to indict John and Patsy Ramsey on charges of child abuse resulting in death but then-District Attorney Alex Hunter refused to sign the indictment and prosecute the case. Unfortunately it looks as though no one will ever be called to answer for the murder of JonBenét Ramsey.
