Paradise Lost - Episode Guide

On May 5, 1993, the bodies of three eight-year-old boys were found next to a muddy creek in the wooded Robin Hood Hills area of West Memphis, Arkansas. A month later, three teenagers were arrested and accused of raping, mutilating and killing the boys.

Through graphic crime-scene footage, TV news clips and extensive original reporting, the America Undercover presentation The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills takes an insider's look at this notorious murder case -- and the town that was changed forever by it.

Revelations returns to the site of the "Robin Hood Hills" murders to probe issues raised by the first film, and by the groundswell of public interest that it inspired. Featured are in-person interviews with the convicted men: Jason Baldwin, now 22, sentenced to life without parole; Jessie Misskelley, now 23, sentenced to life plus 40 years; and Damien Echols, now 24, awaiting execution on death row. Today, Echols has exhausted his state appeals options, and his last hope lies in a pending federal habeas corpus proceeding. If a federal judge declines to hear his case, his execution by lethal injection could take place as early as this year. Also included in the film are interviews with the original judge, police investigators, one of the victims' parents, and the support group "Free the West Memphis Three."

Purgatory reveals recent DNA and other forensic evidence (unavailable at the time of the murders), as well as other troubling developments, including allegations of juror misconduct, that suggest the trio did not receive a fair trial. The film includes new interviews with Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley, who are now in their 30s, and many of the subjects of the first two documentaries, including John Mark Byers and Terry Hobbs, stepfathers of two of the victims and frequent targets of the media (and each other).
