The Atlanta Child Murders

This three part series was excellent. It's not about racist cops pinning murders on a black man. Wayne is guilty of perhaps some of the murders, but he isn't guilty of all of them. This is about re-opening all the evidence that was collected and retesting it. There are interviews from the families of the dead children, interviews from those who investigated the crimes. The series goes over the politics of investigating and prosecuting the crimes. This was a fascinating series and I do hope they do an update when all the evidence has been thoroughly tested.

In March 2019, " a surprise announcement, Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said that the city is re-examining evidence and facts from the Atlanta Child Murders - a crime spree that plagued families from 1971 to 1981 and took the lives of 29 African American children."

"For one Atlanta woman, Catherine Leach, the reexamination is just another step in the search for the truth, as she was never really convinced Williams was the one who killed her son, Curtis Walker."

"I want some justice. So that I can rest in peace," she explained. "I want to know who killed Curtis."

"Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields said her goal is to make sure that all of the evidence in the case is sorted through properly, after it has sat untouched in evidence rooms for decades."
