ID Investigates Infamous West Memphis Three Saga
This Sunday, April 5, Investigation Discovery (ID) will air The West Memphis Three: An ID Murder Mystery. Produced by Jupiter Entertainment, this latest installment of ID’s Murder Mystery franchise delves deep inside the investigation, taking a closer look at the flimsy evidence against the teens and possible motivations behind the murders. “We are always looking for well-known, iconic stories that we can shine a new light on for viewers, especially when there is a larger theme to explore,” says Harrison Land, executive producer for the series from Jupiter Entertainment. “The case of the West Memphis Three checked all of these boxes.” The three-hour special event features one-on-one interviews with those closest to the case, including with one of the defendants, Jason Baldwin, marking the first major documentary he has participated in “We offer a new theory toward the end of the special that we have yet to see anywhere,” Land teases. “Additionally, Jason Baldwin was released in 2011, so he’s now had almost a decade to think back on the tragic events that transpired and the years he lost. We think his new perspective is incredibly important. We also feel that we’ve taken a uniquely holistic and fair-minded approach to the story.” Baldwin’s involvement is key, he adds. “Having one of the wrongfully accused men in our special is not only necessary in terms of giving him a platform to have his voice heard, but it also gives our viewers the true, inside story of what really happened and how it impacted the lives of those affected.” This article continues here.
