This is a series worth watching.

Thanks.

One thing the makers of this "documentary" haven't mentioned, and more than likely won't mention, is simple.

When Wayne Williams was busted, the murders STOPPED.

So like the "Making a Murderer" show, important facts will be left out.

Which in of itself seemed bizarre, considering these were streetwise young men and Wayne always came off as someone who'd piss his pants if he was jacked up.

I'm not saying Wayne Williams is innocent. But he alone killed ALL those kids?

The girls are rarely mentioned because they don't really fit any reasonable narrative of Williams' supposed motive - and one was literally hung out on a public street!

He certainly had the "business" that would just scream "grooming" today: a promoter/recording company for a Jackson 5 style boy band? Come on.

That said, it's also possible he didn't kill any of the kids.

I have to say that what we've come to learn about junk science from DNA testing makes me very skeptical of the fiber evidence; the supposed dog DNA match is hooey.

It was discussed on last night's finale. It had to be mentioned because it is literally said by anybody who believes Williams guilty anytime the subject comes up, in case anybody was wondering about the originality of Archae's post.

It's a very fascinating story.

It is Unbelievable that once they convicted him of two of the murders, they closed all the rest of the cases just like that. Also, the GBI investigation just blew my mind, what the hell was that about? They even got rid of the evidence. I think the Klan and the GBI were in on the whole thing and they knew Wayne Williams did not commit all those murders.

Atlanta was more consumed with becoming a powerhouse of the south, and hey, don't rock the boat, we are the NEW Atlanta. Screw all those poor black children.

This shit will never end in this country, never fucking end.

every night reporting what was known and what was not. Monica was one of the nation's first and most identified African American woman news anchors and she really rose to prominence during this time. It was wrenching. When they finally decided to pin ALL of the murders on Wayne Williams, I really believe few were truly convinced. But, it let Atlanta move forward and that seemed to be the only goal that mattered.

I too feel horribly for those mothers and fathers who will never know for sure what happened and who was behind it.

We assumed it was something happening in Fulton County, ahem. That was the feeling then, I remember. "Nothing for y'all to worry about."

was/is just too compelling that he killed most of the kids. But, I’m sure a few were likely murdered by someone else.

Nowadays, I think they’d catch a similar perp much quicker, preventing a lot of tragedies (unless some armed racist shoots 25 kids in a few minutes).

Probably not the 2 girls. Yes they should have prosecuted more than 2 cases, most likely budget issues at the time. The community simply didn’t want to believe that one of theirs was guilty.

killed most of those kids.

Serial killers don't need to look scary to be. All they need is to get your trust and for you to let your guard down for a moment.

Contrary to what most think, serial killers on average are less intelligent than the general population. Wayne Williams was an exception to that rule. He was very intelligent. He was super smart, super devious, and very non threatening. That is a deadly combination.
