West Memphis 3 /// Discussion 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

Join Nic & The Captain in the Garage for a riveting and energy filled discussion about the West Memphis 3 case.  This case and True Crime story continues to be one of the more debated cases of the 20th century, even after more than 30 years has passed.  Why can’t we as a collective community move on from this case?  Is it because the case manages to creep its way back into the headlines, over and over again?  Or, is it because at the end of the day we are all afraid that we may never know the truth about what happened in Robin Hood Hills, on May 5th, 1993?  We are still seeking justice for Steve Branch, Michael Moore, Christopher Byers, and their families.

West Memphis 3 /// A Harvest of Innocence 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com

After taking a listen once again to our West Memphis 3 case coverage from 2016 we have decided to revisit the case and get some additional thoughts from a perspective not yet heard on TCG.  Today we welcomed in Dan Stidham, the Defense Attorney for Jesse Misskelley Jr.  Mr. Stidham represented Jesse for many years and at some points was assisting Jason Baldwin as well.  He has since gone on to become a highly respected Judge in Arkansas.  While he is not a fan of the Alford plea, he remains one of the key figures in this case that helped the West Memphis 3 to finally get released from prison after serving 18 years.

Part 1 - Robinhood Hills Murders

May 5, 1993 between the hours of 8pm and 10pm three sets of parents called police and each reported their son to be missing. It was quickly determined the three 8 year old boys were last seen together and they may have wondered into the woods on the edge of the neighborhood. The following afternoon police pulled the three dead boys from a drainage ditch located in the Robinhood Hills woods. The findings and investigation would be the subject of many books and movies to come.

Who Killed Jill Dando /// Part 2 /// 752 

Part 2 of 2 

www.TrueCrimeGarage.com 

This week we are sharing a case that rocked Britain.  It was a daytime murder of a major U.K. celebrity.  On April 26th, 1999 someone shot and killed TV presenter Jill Dando on the stoop of her home in London.  Jill was beloved by millions.  Her girl next door looks, Princess Di hair cut, and her charm took her to the heights of British broadcasting.  So who would want to harm the woman that so many adored?  That is the mystery that has riddled the Kensington police for over two decades now.  The Netflix doc-series “Who Killed Jill Dando?” came out in 2023 and has brought worldwide attention to this still unsolved murder case.
