Misskelley meets Echols at conference | Events

Jessie Misskelley, Jr. made a surprise visit in downtown Memphis to see Damien Echols speak at a startup business conference Monday.

Echols, Misskelley and Jason Baldwin spent 18 years behind bars for the murders of three 8-year-old boys in West Memphis.

Misskelley said he is not interested in speaking in public or writing any books.

He did get Echols to sign one of his books. Echols wrote a symbol and his name.

Misskelley said he did not know what the symbol meant.
