ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

L ike crime-solving itself, producing a book is very much a collaborative effort, not only between the two of us, but also the solid team that has worked with us and backed us up each step of the way.

First, we want to acknowledge and thank Michaela Hamilton, our talented, sensitive and insightful editor at Kensington. It is largely her enthusiasm that has seen this project through, and we are grateful to the entire publishing staff. We are so grateful to the entire team at Kensington.

Our fine agent, Jake Elwell at Harold Ober Associates, understood from the beginning what we wanted to do this time, then helped us shape and refine our ideas. He has been a continual friend, offering support and acting as a sounding board. Likewise, our attorney, advisor and friend, Steven Mark, who, in addition to everything else, is responsible for a substantial portion of the West Memphis Three research and organization. Sarah Lessa is in charge of our website, www.mindhuntersinc.com . Dave Lessa helped immensely with its planning and design, and Nikki Cheshire conducted our photo research. All three are welcome additions to the Mindhunters team. And as always, Marks wife, Carolyn, remains our in-house counsel, Mindhunters, Inc. chief of staff and our first-line reader, among her many other talents and virtues.

Profound gratitude goes out to the many individuals who freely contributed their time, talents and insights. Since they all helped so much, we will simply list them alphabetically: Bob Barnett, Philip Bermingham, Stephen Braga, Jackie and John Mark Byers, Ben Cheshire, Jack, Trudy and Stephen Collins, Lorri Davis, Damien Echols, Krista Errickson, the Honorable Bob Graham, Peter Jackson, Amanda, Curt and Deanna Knox, former special agent Kenneth Lanning, Ken Light, Jim Lovering, Chris and Edda Mellas, former special agent Steve Moore, Madison Paxton, John Ramsey, Mark Smit, Lynne Sparks, Mark Stein, Fran Walsh, Jonesboro Sun editor Chris Wessel, and Tom Wright.

The first defendant to be convicted and executed in the Salem witch trials of 1692 and 1693 was Bridget Bishop. Like Damien Echols in West Memphis, Arkansas, three centuries later, she wore black and was considered different.

When I interviewed William Heirens in prison, I believed he had committed the murders to which he pled guilty. Now, I think I may have been wrong. He died on March 5, 2012 at age 83. (Courtesy of the Illinois Department of Corrections)

When I was in the FBI, we had to do much of our analysis from case files. But whenever possible, I like to visit the actual scene, as Mark and I are doing here. ( Philip Bermingham)

At Cameron Todd Willinghams trial, a so-called expert witness claimed his tattoos and heavy metal posters showed his violent personality. He proclaimed his innocence up to the moment of his execution. Later, scientific evidence showed him to be innocent. ( Ken Light)

Sedley Alley brutally murdered Suzanne Collins on July 12, 1985. By the time he was executed on June 28, 2006, he had managed to postpone his sentence longer than Suzanne was alive. (Courtesy of the Tennessee Department of Corrections)

Former United States senator and Florida governor Bob Graham served two terms in the Tallahassee state house, during which he signed a number of death warrants. When asked if he had questioned the justice of any of them before signing, he replied, All of them. Below, he explains his position on capital punishment to Mark Olshaker.
