The Atlanta Child Murders

[mamba]

This doesn't make sense. If it was child prostitution, why would they kill them so fast before they could make money off of them?

There were a few huge child prostitution rings in Atlanta back then. Look up John David Wilcoxen, Frank Hardy, etc.

Looking at the files, the paperwork is a complete mess....there's a lot of circumstantial evidence attached to Williams that doesn't have real credibility...I'm only at the beginning stages but I plan on doing some interviews with the parents of some of the children to get a full perspective...there is credible witnesses that place Williams in different areas from where some of the murders took place....

The FBI files should be available too. I had them on cd that I ordered from somewhere, but accidentally broke the cd before getting to delve into the files.

who was the mayor at this time? hope it wasnt maynard jackson. and if it was a white, maybe this had a undertone reason in the change of the color of politics in the city?:cube:

Jackson had just taken over and the murders didn't stop after he was arrested. They just stopped reporting them. Plus he was never convicted of killing any kids

well, about a decade ago, i read a theory that the murders was possibly something to do with the creation of the HIV/AIDS virus which does make sense being that the center of disease control is located there. some of the kids that were murdered were last seen to be taken away by some "candy lady" to an ice cream truck. andre 3000 talked about it on the song aquemini "poor babies walking slowly to the candy lady". according to the police investigation records, they said that the bodies were found in an advanced state of decomposition and had the blood drained out of them.

the theory does kind of hold weight though especially when the hiv/aids epidemic kicked off in june 1981 and the last murder was in march of 1981.

wow.....never heard this theory before.....

Naw. Wasn't any scientific experimentation. It was a big child prostitution ring. Some low-profile and high-profile clients. Some of the low-profile perps are shown here: Atlanta Child Murders ABC report - YouTube

The high-profile clients (which would have shocked the Black community) felt that their cover was about to be blown, so they started covering their tracks.

First, by silencing the kids. And then by silencing the middle men (like Wayne Williams) who'd supplied the kids.

The KKK didn't kill those kids.

Having read The List this makes the most sense....

Be careful.

Killer could still be out there, and you never know how he or she may feel about some trouble making college student digging up info from the past and sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.
