Lily Suicide: Burk Sauls Of The West Memphis Three Support Group

indeed.

great job lil. ♥

xo

I am so glad that articulate discussion is still being directed toward this; thank you so much for posting this interview, everyone involved.

Makes me so damn sad every time I read about this, or anything like it...and I know that doesn't sound as sensitive as I'd like it to, but I mean it.

Thank you.

ooops. double post.

thank you sooo much, lily, for being so positive and continuing to stay sooo strong. i intended on responding to you sooner, but i have had a ton of personal issues that have kept away from the site for a bit.

i am worried about the same thing as you. when we heard the news about being able to get all three boys (i still call them boys even though they are now grown men...) bite impressions, we thought we could get this case overturned. results proved that these three did not match the bite marks left on one of the victims. those results came out around the same time as mr. byers had just had his teeth pulled...which became a huge suspicion as well.

this was the mid 90's, and dna testing was still pretty new, and very expensive. we thought we would never be able to afford to get the boys the best defense, with majority of people laughing at us for helping (what they would call) weird, disturbed strangers from the backwoods of arkansas. yes, that was the reaction 9 times out of 10.

when burk, kathy, and grove started WM3 support site, there were just a handful of supporters. we talked to one another thru the old school message boards, and we instantly became a little family. we were all obsessed with finding answers, and back then, we were all in touch with the boys almost on a daily basis...keeping their spirits alive by helping educate them as well. sending books was a weekly thing for me a my former roomate.

so, you inspired me to contact burk. it was so refreshing to hear from him as well. when i am back in LA next, i am going to see him and we can finally do some catching up. i've even started corresponding with my longtime friends again on a more regular basis. i owe that to you, love...

xoxo.

ps. i really credit my friend, Martin_Atkins, as being one of the first musicians to help me spread the word to the music industry. i gave him a package of reading material on the case, flyers, and shirts back in 1997. later that week, his assistant faxed the info to every (mostly independent) record label they knew for me, & members of his band Pigface wore the shirts at the next few shows. one of the shows was in memphis, tennessee, and some family members of the boys even came out to see the show. thanks martin, you really helped me make a difference...

So, As I was guessing The DNA EVIDENCE CONCLUDES......that there was none linking any of these three to the crime. go to wm3.org for more info.
