Summary
Welcome to the first bonus Q&A episode of Crooked Tree! Kristin Rich and Paul Day dive into your questions from the Facebook group, tackling key details from the West Memphis case. In this episode: A deep dive into Officer Regina Meek’s timeline on May 5, 1993 (including the mosquito incident, dispatch logs, and trial testimony), Christopher Byers’ “white lie” about where Stevie Branch lived, the history of Robin Hood Hills, why the floating shoes and Cub Scout cap weren’t spotted earlier, the flow of the unnamed creek, Steve Branch’s biological father during the searches, curfews and the boys’ final hours, the Bojangles suspect, and more. We also address popular theories like bite marks and the manhole cover, discuss challenges with eyewitness memory, and respond to your thoughts on the search efforts the night the boys disappeared.
