E93: The Atlanta Child Murders Pt 2 Sep 24, 2020

Show notes

The Atlanta Child Murders Part Two. Between 1979 and 1981, children and teenagers were disappearing off the streets of Atlanta, later turning up dead, terrifying the entire city. At least 28 people in the Atlanta area, most of them young black boys and teenagers, were kidnapped and murdered. Wayne Williams was convicted of two of the murders. Was he guilty of those, or of any of the other murders? Was there another killer or killers who got away with murder?

We wrap up the timeline and head on in to the investigation and arrest (8:40). We also get into some theories about the case (57:45) and our dueling take aways (106:06). As usual we close out the show with some tips on how not to get murdered and some shout outs.
