What happened to the boys in Robin Hood Woods?
Could be buried away somewhere right now and someone walks by and finds a sock thinking nothing of it. And it was one of the five socks.
Can we talk about the backpacks for a second?
Yeah, let's talk about the backpacks.
So you have this one group of witnesses. I forget which family it is, but it's all a family. I think it's maybe Otto Bailey and Junior Bailey and Mama Bailey. I think it's the CB troll. I could be making that up, but I think they're the ones who say that they saw backpacks. Now think about this for a second. Now they could just be wrong. All three of them could just be wrong.
They could just be remembering something else. But let's give it a moment. Assume they did have backpacks. It's just going to fly to fancy. Why would they have backpacks? Now they had already gone home after school, right? So remember, Michael Moore, his house backs up to the school. He goes home. You would think he would have left his backpack. Chris Byers, he shows up at his house.
He's actually locked out. He, Chris Byers, great kid. I mean, crazy kid. I'm sure he drove his parents crazy. He's locked out. He can't get in. He actually breaks a window trying to get in. You know, he was always getting in trouble. But he was, you know, he was also like the kind of kid who's a problem solver. He didn't just hang out waiting for somebody to show up.
Like he's trying to get into his house. But eventually, remember, his stepdad gets home, finds him riding a skateboard on his stomach in the middle of the road, brings him back, gives him a spanking, and sends him to clean up the carport. So you wouldn't think he wouldn't have his backpack, right? So that's Christopher. So then you have Stevie. So Stevie's going home.
Remember, his mom actually picked him up a little bit earlier from school. Question why that happened earlier. Found out why. She had his little sister with her and didn't want to wait around. So she just checked him out. That's why he went home a little earlier. But she walks him home. So he goes home, too. So if they just had their bags from school that day, they would have left them.
So they wouldn't have had them for that reason. One thing people have speculated about, there's at least one witness who says they spoke to the boys and the boys said something about running away. They were running away. Now, remember, Chris had just gotten into trouble. You know, he had been disciplined by his dad.
