During the 80’s and 90’s, satanic panic was sweeping the nation. Everything from burglary to graffiti was being blamed on so-called “satanists” and “occultists”, even when the claims were unsubstantiated. Then in 1993, when three eight-year-old boys are ruthlessly murdered in West Memphis, Arkansas, three teenagers are blamed, supposedly killing the children as part of a satanic or occult sacrifice. Garnering a star-studded movement of people disputing the verdict, this has become one of the most controversial cases of all time. In this episode of Unnatural Acts in the Natural State, Trey Youngdahl shares the unsolved case of The West Memphis Three and the Robinhood Hills murders.
