Some years ago, the guy convicted of the Atlanta child murders had a "docu-drama" about him on TV, like this article, it's what is left out of the article that is important, namely the forensic evidence that tied Williams' van to several of the killings, and the unescapable FACT that after Williams was busted, the murders stopped.
I've seen this sort of "documentary" film-making about a case closer where I live, the "Making of a Murderer" bullshit film.
The Steven Avery Case happened in Manitowoc county, about 30 miles north of here.
HBO documentary sheds new light on 'Atlanta Child Murders'
A new HBO documentary Atlantas Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children will take a deep dive into a case involving a string of murders that terrorized the citys black community 40 years ago
LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Terrell believes an imprisoned man currently serving two life sentences may not have been the person who murdered his brother as part of a killing spree that rocked Atlanta four decades ago.
Terrell hopes new light can be shed nationwide on the murders that terrorized the African American community in the city within a two-year time span with the HBO documentary Atlantas Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children." The five-part series, which begins Sunday, will explore how the victims family members and others remain skeptical about Wayne Williams being the sole killer, despite evidence linking him to those murders and 10 others.

(12,859 posts)Prove that the rug fibers from Wayne Williams parents home to the murdered victims were a match. I read something awhile ago on this and the fiber evidence was what stood out in article.

(46,335 posts)One point made in the article, MAYBE, just MAYBE, a guy got away with killing someone and the murder was blamed on Williams.
But in the 40+ years since then, no credible evidence has been found that says Williams "was framed."
