Kids kept home after murder ofthree boys <strong>West</strong> <strong>Memphis</strong> Arkansas INVESTIGATORS checked hundreds oftelephone<br />
tips yesterday, and the FBI was asked to develop a psychological profile ofwhoever killed three eight-year-old<br />
boys.<br />
Police went door-to-door, talking to neighbours ofthe boys, who disappeared on Wednesday while riding their bicycles.<br />
Their bodies were found Thursday in a drainage ditch about 1.6 kilometres from their homes.<br />
The state medical examiner's office said all three died ofblows to the head.<br />
Police have refused comment on reports the bodies were mutilated.<br />
Police Inspector Gary Gitchell said the department was using the FBI's national crime database to match the crime<br />
to similar ones across the country in an effort to come up with suspects.<br />
FBI behavioural-science experts in Quantico, Virginia, were asked to develop a profile ofthe killer or killers.<br />
Sidewalks usually crammed with children at play were mostly deserted yesterday as police expanded their search<br />
for suspects in the deaths ofthe three boys.<br />
"Everybody's real scared, still reeling from what everybody's calling the worst tragedy that's ever been here," Pat<br />
Van Gundy said, glancing at his two children, aged eight and seven.<br />
"This neighbourhood is just full ofchildren, and there's been nothing to be afraid ofletting the children play alone<br />
for blocks down the street.<br />
"But now, not even two blocks, not even next door." The victims, Christopher Byers, Michael Moore and Steve<br />
Edward Branch, were last seen alive on Wednesday afternoon as they rode bicycles in their neighbourhood.<br />
Authorities discovered their bodies in a nearby wooded area known to residents as Robin Hood Park.<br />
Bike paths criss-cross the popular play area for children.<br />
Inspector Gitchell said the boys' hands and feet were tied, but he would not say what material was used.<br />
