SIX YEARS OLD. Wonder if anyone loved or missed him. SO sad. Thank God for these two women. Hopefully justice will be done!
His neighbor did.
@@sherice1730 I should have said I wonder if anyone ever SHOWED him love. If he had any happiness while he was alive. It will be interesting if they find relatives. If they knew about him and what they were told.
Wonder why she left him in a cemetery. Maybe to make sure he got a burial.
His MOTHER did it. Didn't you watch the video?
@@22lyric his neighbor showed him love
@@avanulaneway8418 DURING his life or AFTER? All THIS video says about it is that the neighbor, Ava, "knew him very well". So did the mother.
Rest now, William. You got your name back. Even if your horrid mother didn't love you, we all do. See you on the other side little dude.
🙏
Amen 🕊
Loved what u said about this little fellow now known as WILLIAM. We love you now fly high , your dignity has been restored . My own son was missing for months before we finally located him in a morgue in wayne county. Miles away from home. MAy both you all souls fly free. Til we all meet again
@@tracystarks1669 I’m so sorry to hear, very heart breaking May God bless you and keep you and your loved ones in his glory🙏
@@ChildOfGodDemonSlayer Thank you so much
Sometimes it only takes 1 or 2 people to remember & care. RIP little fella, ur safe in paradise now.🙏
🙏🏾
This is the comment I was looking for 👏
We remember the forgotten.
The composite the forensics experts made looks exactly like him. Crazy how the can do that.
That is amazing
No it doesn't I'm sorry.
So glad that neighbor didn't stop thinking of this baby boy. Glad he has his name back
Extremely tragic! How can someone hurt an innocent child…..especially the woman we call his “mother”. May your soul Rest In Peace ❤
some people are not meant to be parents, ROE being overturned will show that in the coming years as women forced to give birth who shouldn't, will start abusing kids they never wanted or should have had. The foster care system is already filled so all these additional kids will just cause more problems.
@@batsonelectronics I grew up in foster care and never wanted kids. That changed the instant I had one. Now my entire life is devoted to my husband and kids. Most women who get abortions are lied to and tricked into getting them. Most anti-abortionists advocates have had abortions or done abortions.
@@momma3327 how are women lied into GETTING an abortion ? I have yet to hear a single story of someone tricked into an abortion. That is an absurd claim without some serious proof to back it up.
@@batsonelectronics Those women who don't want children need to burn their tubes, use birth control or close their legs. It's called being a adult and making adult decisions.
@@batsonelectronics Roe v Wade being overturned will not force women to give birth. It sends the matter back to the states, and unfortunately many states will continue w/ some form of abortion to murder your child. Women act like they have no options or control over there own fertility w/o abortion. This is a complete lie. This is not 1809. There are a variety of contraceptives women and men can use to prevent unwanted pregnancies. But the truth is women want the option to lay around like a man and walk away if pregnancy occurs. Be responsible with your body. It would be a good idea if ppl wait to have sex until they're married so if pregnancy happens there will be two parents in the home but we know too many are too dumb to do that. They want their one night stands, their internet hook ups and God knows what else and then want to continue their depravity by killing a baby. Decide BEFORE the bedroom to not have a baby. It's really that simple.
You have to be some kind of Monster to be a mother and kill your child. The only person he probably felt loved and supposed to protect him😥. Pure evil
My heart go out to all the missing children of this world 💔🥀🕯️🧸⚖️☠️
Think you used enough emojis?
@@rahc1819 they were uncalled for tbh…
@@BedazzledChanclas exactly. And the skull is particularly tasteless
Suspicious emojis 🤔
How can parents live like they know nothing about the death of their own child. So disturbing
Did anybody ask her where her child was? The kids father, aunt, uncle etc? Wow man
No child deserves to be killed. Rest in peace young man.✌🏻😥
OMG he was so cute this is heartbreaking !!
My heart breaks because my sister went missing February 14 1999 at the age of 16 her remains were found August 1 2013 thy couldn't find us for 9 years a skull an 2 femur bones is what was left of her me an my mother received her remains 2 weeks before her birthday june 24 2022 so we decided to lay her to rest. I had been looking for my sister for 23 years and this is how i got her back. This happen in midland texas
What’s your sister name
😢
Guys, this is a bot account 🙄. It was created just 1 year ago. Just ignore it, not a real person telling a real story. RUclips has become infested in these, it sick to see them on serious news stories!!!!
SAY HER NAME....
@@catracatgoddessbast6506 SYLVIA NICOLE SMITH
😢THANK U ALL FOR THE LOVE AND SUPPORT
Sketch is so accurate. Rest in peace William Hamilton 🕊🙏🏿
God bless the two women who cared even when his own mother did not.
God Bless Ms. Ava who loved that child and remembered him
AMEN
OH MY GOSH!! The artist rendering of little William Deshawn Hamilton and an actual photograph is 95% accurate. Praise goes out to Ava who called Angeline Hartmann, at the National Center of Missing and Exploited Children, with her suspicions. Angeline investigated what Ava reported and was able to solve this 20+ years cold case. Now William's name is on his grave as it should be. I have no doubt justice will be served on William's behalf. The mother having been an exotic dancer has no bearing on her decision to murder her child. She kept his dead body 3-6 months before dumping him in the woods like garbage. He is not garbage. He is a little 6 year old boy who was murdered.
Forensics solved it though. Without that the neighbor would have never called. I don't know why these reporters felt the need to give another reporter credit. It's just phony. The police followed up on the leads and made the arrest.
I noticed that also.
I think they mentioned her being an exotic dancer (and the location of her profession) so that anyone (2:47) who remembered working with her there could call the news station with any helpful information.
Yes the did and amazing job
Thank goodness for the woman who called it in. This is heartbreaking. That poor little guy had no one. Anyone who knew Mom has to come forward because she’s going to blame someone else. Whatever it is, the truth must be revealed.
I remember this my Aunt lived off of Clinton Springs, I use to walk through the Cemetery getting off the Marta bus all those years I am glad they solved this case I would walk through there praying now it's solved thank God
HOW SAD !! How a Mother can abandoned her Child like this, is unfathomable ! GOD BLESS THE NEIGHBOR FOR COMING FORTH TO GIVE THIS ABANDONED CHILD A NAME....WILLIAM DESHAWN HAMILTON. ♡☆♡ REST IN PEACE...CHILD OF GOD ♡☆♡ Thank you also to Ms. HEARTMAN FOR NOT GIVING UP ON IDENTIFYING THIS LITTLE LOST BOY...BLESSINGS ON YOU BOTH FOR HELPING THIS BOY BE IDENTIFIED.♡☆♡
For God sake ! She was a dancer more likely a woman of the night. One of her John's prob raped and killed the child, and left him for dead and she took the body and left it in the cemetery...she continued with her sick life style.
Thank you Ava for caring.... Rest in Peace Lil One...and your soul soar high as you sing with the angels 💗this is so heartbreaking tho...all that time and the mother just went on living life like nothing was wrong...may you serve the rest of your life in jail...no excuse for your reason is acceptable
Please keep the public updated on this story thank you 🧸💔🥀🕯️
God bless you little baby boy!
AMEN
She didn't even identify her son.
Look how beautiful and handsome he was. Poor baby. He is with the Most high
Rest in paradise the little angel.🙏.
Now he can Rest In Peace...properly..
😥
They may not be able to convict her of murder...but there are a bunch of other serious charges they will convict her on when her lawyer starts blaming others.
So GD sad. For everyone that didn't give up or 'helped' --thank you.
Finally!!! I've followed this case yearly, since it occurred. I lived very close to this location and having children of my own, this hit us hard. We just couldn't understand how a child just disappears, unreported. I feel lighter today!
What a handsome little boy. God bless 🙏 you.
Whatever is hidden in darkness will come to light. The word of God
So sad
A sweet baby who never got to become a man
I’m glad they found this little boy and he got his name back and his mother can finally get what she deserves after 23 yr. Finally justice is served .
He's with the Lord.
Sketch Artist Photos really does help find the missing. Good work Eva Thanks for your corruption.
Corruption? Am I missing something obviously?
@@calilyn1026 typo being contribution? I guess...
Maybe she meant cooperation?
@@catwoman2596 🤣🤣
Typo...
Dude this gave me chills down my back chilling
Lock her up and throw away the key!
So heartbreaking 💔
So sad some people that would make the best parents can’t have kids. And all these demons getting blessed with babies and hurting them. Sad world
TRUE..... I cannot have children and was always told that I would be a good, strong, protective and loving parent😭
@ Kelly Norvell
Sending compassion and viral hugs. ❤
@@jacquelinelewis5769 THANK YOU 🙏💯😘
This little boy was named William DeShawn Hamilton. He was 6 yo.
Rip William
Wow. God bless that lady .
The little boots tote the heart out of me.
R.I.P. my little friend,.God always knew who you were. ✝️. And thank you Ava, and Angeline for your work in helping to identifying him.
Little William was vary loved and very missed. Ava and Angeline are Angels 😇 🐻
Proof that not ever women is a mother how can you kill and abandon your baby boy 😕
I read a report that at the age of 45, the mother now uses wheelchair. Karma is a bish.
Beautiful porsha thank you for your professionalism an news 👍🏼😊
Sad. Especially since it was his own mother. RIP.
To the people commenting where is the father, he should be held accountable too.
This female probably didn't even know who his father was!! Its very commone these days!! Whomever his father was I would bet he didn't know the child existed. With that being said ,this female had custody. Full custody and he died in her custody so ite HER alone that should be punished!
One of the best uses of the Internet and social media is getting stories out such as this one. A person with a good memory looks, and then says, "Hey, I remember something.." And in that slender thread....a cold case warms again and a child is named. And a murderer brought to justice...
Thank God for that lady! U can now rest baby boy🙏🏽
They have the DNA why aren’t they also hunting the father? The mother hands are definitely dirty but two people should be held accountable ASAP.
She probably didn't even know who his father was !! That's very common these days.
@@tamicaalsheshi6809 Today, yes but over 20 years ago no. That was not the norm. Your dad may have been a dead beat but you were given some information. I can not imagine this woman not telling one man she needed help especially with her profession and inconsistent housing.
True or not this baby looks like someone and they have a clue this child could have been theirs. It was on the news and in papers, so you can not tell me no man recalled sleeping with her at that time/ thinking this baby could have been theirs.
@@brownbarrett6842 smh ,why the attempted insult? Apparently his dad is a deadbeat because if he knew why didn't he look for him????? Which comes to my mind the man probably didn't know he existed. I was alive 20 years ago and I know for a fact women still hid or didn't know who their child's father was..are you joking? You must be very young
@@brownbarrett6842 it was just as normal as it is today..yea you have got to be young or just ignorant of that fact
@@tamicaalsheshi6809 If you were raised in a family that ignores when a child goes missing just say that.
That's all it takes; neighbors, teachers, caretaker, and or whoever. Do the right thing Recognize and come forward.
RIP and my condolences
So forensics made a recognizable picture, a neighbor reported on the similarities between the sketch and the missing child. The police investigated and made an arrest. But you want to give a reporter all the credit.This is why the people don't trust the media. Some of us know you're too phony. You literally said one thing and described another. Thank you to the forensic artist and police that the media felt was so unimportant that Fox 5 didn't even name you.
I definitely get your point .
I just wanted you to know that you were heard. Excellent Forensics work !;
Peace and Blessings to you.
Rip angel 😢🙏
Soooo………no other family members ever noticed the boy’s absence? Crazy
So sad may he be at peace
May be rest in peace 🙏 🕊
🥺🙏🏽 Poor Baby May His Soul Rest In Peace
Sending my deepest condolences to the family & he was so young 😓💔🕊💐🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
His very own mother.
Bless his heart 💔
This world is wicked. May he rest in peace
Poor little angel...
This case was one of mine that I kept on the lookout to be solved. Now solve Opelika Jane Doe and baby doe in Georgia found in the tv cabinet.strangely all 3 cases were close. Making a triangle 2 inGeorgia and one in North Alabama. Opelika Jane Doe was found in 2012.
My condolences to the family and friends. Rip 🙏🏾
God bless you, Little Man.
Lord have mercy. His little shoes😭
God rest your sweet soul, William. 🙏🏽🕊❤️
Great commentary
poor baby💖
My condolences amen 🙏🏾🕊💔🙏🏾🕊💔🙏🏾
Sad, sad, sad!!!! Poor baby boy!!!!!

May that baby boy finally RIP 🙏
Wow!!!!!
R.I.P.
What 😳 Omg 🙏🏾
Bless the child
The picture was almost exact.
Sweet baby. ❤️🙏🇨🇦
👏👏👏👏👏 JOB WELL DONE.
A terrible thing to do to your own child. Poor boy. Well done Ava and Ms Hartman. R.I.P little one.🦋 👼🏽 🕊 🐇 🎈 🧸 🌾 .
Lord Have Mercy
Sad
OMG
rip
Rest in peace William…you would’ve been my age. We care about you. I’m sorry this happened to you. We were little kids at the time trying to understand the world and you were taken from us. You are another person ok the list of people who make me pray pray pray that there is an afterlife where souls like yours KNOW eternal joy. ❤
They just tore that old strip club down, now They’re building a Chase bank on that property.
Sounds like she wanted to rid herself of the responsibility and go on being a degenarate
Very sad what happened to him, everything hidden in the dark always comes to light & you will pay for it~ Wilmrbadguy
Some people have no remorse
What is the summary of this story?( because I still don’t know the story)
She was 15
Wow
As a mother and my daughter or anyone I knew had a child then pops up without ever seeing a child with them I would be asking all kinds of questions then calling the police wtf
🙏
People see so heartless I hate them
