"Some people say live out your dreams..no when you realize it was just a fantasy that should have been left in the past...it hurts."
Susie Brewer Boggan..the recent former girlfriend of Jessie Misskelley, Jr. wants to get the story straight about her relationship with Misskelley. She was 13 when he was arrested along with Damien Echols and Jason Baldwin for the murders of three 8 year old boys in West Memphis nearly two decades ago. She was Misskelley's girlfriend then.
Boggan appeared in the first documentary of the Paradise Lost series about the murders having a conversation with Misskelley who was behind bars at the time before the trial.
After the West Memphis three were convicted Susie Brewer Boggan went on with her life getting married and having children. But the dream didn't die.
"We were writing each other two years before he got out. Then I came down here when he got out."
But Jessie's life did not go the same as Echols and Baldwin.
"I said look you get mad because they're living a good life but they're earning..they got their GED in jail. They did college in jail. I can't help it you just laid on a bed and laid there."13:54:04
Echols is married an author, a movie producer who travels the world.
Baldwin also involved with movies about the life of the West Memphis three plans to attend law school.
"You shouldn't be mad about it, you could do it too."
"Jason sends him texts and stuff all the time asking him why don't he come to this. I don't know..he just doesn't want to."
Damien Echols told me he worries about Misskelley.
Jessie Misskelley told me in a short interview a few months ago..he is happy staying out of the limelight..living and working in West Memphis.
And Susie Brewer Boggan says she is now out of Jessie Misskelley's life.
"I learned you leave that chapter of life. Don't open up nothing."
Jessie Misskelley is reluctant to talk.
But his father told WMC's Janice Broach his son is working and doing fine in West Memphis
