Get ready for Scary Mysteries, Twisted Two’s#1 The West Memphis 3In 1993, three young boys were reported missing in West Arkansas. Steve Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers were eight-year-old second graders playing together on the afternoon of May 5th when they suddenly vanished. Neighbors saw the boys playing together at 6:30 PM before Terry Hobbs, Steve's stepfather called them to come home. By 7, the children were reported missing by Christopher's adoptive father, John Byers. An initial search was done that night, but it was limited and It wasn't until the next morning when a thorough police search commenced. Most of West Memphis was covered with the focus on Robin Hood Hills, the area where the boys were last seen. By that afternoon, a young officer spotted a black shoe near a creek, the area was searched further and that’s when they found the lifeless bodies of the three boys.They had been stripped naked and hogtied using their own shoelaces. Their clothes were later found twisted on branches that had been put in the creek in an effort to keep them out of sight. The children suffered multiple beating and stabbings and Christophers sexual organs were mutilated. After an autopsy, it was concluded Christopher died from multiple injuries while Moore and Branch died from injuries and drowning. #2 Fort George – The CitadelLush, green and beautiful, the Halifax Citadel, also known as Fort George, is stunning during the daytime.
