WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — It's a case that caught national attention for decades, the West Memphis Three.
Attorneys said evidence recently needed for DNA testing is missing.
Patrick Benca, one of Damien Echols's attorneys, said he fears missing this evidence will never prove innocence for the West Memphis Three.
It's a case that started in 1993 when three young children were murdered, but 28 years later, Benca said the fight to solve this case continues despite this most recent snag.
