In 1991, four boys - Maurice Pierce, Forrest Welborn, Robert Springsteen, and Michael Scott - were arrested for the murders. However, due to police handling issues including wrongful arrests and coercion leading to a false confession, they were released. Despite past convictions and imprisonments of these boys, the actual murderers have not been legally identified or convicted, and the case remains open.
The case has received renewed public attention through the HBO documentary series, which revisits the investigation, wrongful convictions, media coverage, and the impact on victims' families. The series also sheds light on the recent advances in DNA technology that offer hope for solving the case.
