Todd Willingham was a man living in the state of Texas with his wife and three kids. He was a man who was described to be a delinquent his whole life getting into small crimes as he grew up and matured. On December 23, 1991 a fire broke out in his household which led to the death of all three of his children. In his statement to the police he said he was woken up by the screams of his kids but could not get to them in time before they were killed, which was later found out to be a lie. The cause of the fire was unknown but thought to be just an accident that ended in tragedy. After the fire Willingham’s demeanor was said not to be of a person who had just lost his three children. He was reported getting drunk with his friends the day after and making comments that were on the suspicious side, such as now that this has happened the money will start rolling in. After this police began to investigate the fire and concluded that it was not accidental but actually arson and Willingham had become the prime suspect. He was later arrested on accounts of arson and three accounts of murder for each of his children. He was sentenced the death penalty but still claimed to be innocent. While on death row a fellow inmate reported that he allegedly confessed to him that he did set the fire and this only added to evidence against him. As he sat in jail awaiting death he began to write to a woman who eventually came to see him in jail. This woman said Willingham seemed to be a great guy and

On 06/10/16, the reporter received a call from Chickasaw Police Department about a child in the street playing; the reporter responded. According to the reporter, Christopher was almost hit twice while playing in the road and one of the accidents was involving an 18-wheeler. The reporter stated Ms. Parks was confronted and told her she was responsible for watching the child, but she had to use the restroom.

While the coroner negligently examined the evidence, he overlooked a small amount of blood found at the crime scene. When the bodies of the boys were erected, a parole officer, Jerry Driver, was convinced that one of his juveniles, Damien Echols, was involved in the felony as a part of a cult. He immediately became the main focus of the investigation and was questioned two days after the homicide. Because of the lack of evidence, the crime became very popular and Vicki Hutchenson, an arbitrary individual who had no involvement with the investigation, chose to engage herself by getting Misskelley to introduce herself to Echols. Damien invited both to a Wiccan meeting which is a witches’ gathering where she claimed that Echols supposedly admitted to the crime in a drunken state. Hutchenson’s lack of knowledge involving the whereabouts and other information about the meeting should have prevented her from a legitimate witness. Years later, Vicki recanted and stated that she was forced by the police to fabricate her experience with Echols and Misskelley. However, the police interrogated Misskelley a day later without reason for 12 hours, and only taped 46 minutes of it. Although Misskelley was a minor, he was
