- After the killings of more than 20 children that terrified the city of Atlanta between 1979 and 1981, police convicted Wayne Williams of the murder of two adults and said he was the prime suspect in what became nationally known as the ‘Atlanta Child Murders.’ Soledad O’Brien reveals the evidence in the investigation and talks to Williams himself in this 2014 CNN documentary. #CNN #News

Heartbreaking to hear about the three year old girl, mistaking fog for heaven, and searching for her big brother in it💔
Poor Mother still in pain until this day heaven help that woman.
One day she will be reunited with her brother in Heaven.
It’s also heartbreaking how many things haven’t changed in Atlanta in regards to poor black citizens (although not many care about poor white people either). Children are the hardest though they have / had a whole life in front of them, I lost my oldest son when he was 24, my granddaughter, his daughter was less than a year and half old. I’ve lost a younger brother, a parent, but no loss has been greater than that of my son.
At first I didn’t completely understand your comment, but then I watched the video
@@Rpm6971agreed
The fact the killing stopped after his arrest it’s telling!!!
Absolutely
It didn’t stop. Thats a lie.
NO THEY DIDN'T STOP WAYNE NEVER KILLED ANYONE IT WAS THE 👮 THEY BLAMED HIM AFTER HE CAUGHT ONE ON THE BRIDGE IJS REMEMBER WAYNE RECORDED EVERYTHING
@@harrymaples3040 I GREW UP IN THE AREA AND THE KILLINGS NEVER STOP WAYNE FOLLOWED THAT COP AND WATCHED HIM THROW THE BODY AFTER HE SEEN IT WAS WAYNE BLAME GAME BEGINS. MY MOM EVEN KNEW SO WE MOVED THE WHOLE TIME BK KILLER AND THE POLICE KILLED ALL THOSE BOYS ALLEGEDLY ALLEGEDLY
@@harrymaples3040 you may believe whatever you want and shouldn’t accused others of lies! He is where he belongs and yes his signature killing is done as a serial killer. Yes, there are still killers out there unfortunately and kids being killed but not by him at this point.
"I didn't do anything" but smiled throughout the entire interview when discussing something as distressing as children's deaths
I think most people who are innocent, especially of something this horrible, would be shouting from the rooftops about their innocence. This guy is smiling and playing with words with this reporter.
It's devastating to see the Ms. Bell crying over her deceased baby decades later. He would be 53 today. 💔
My beautiful son died in 1988. A parent can't get over the death of their child. It's unnatural & we are supposed to die before our children.
I don't cry everyday anymore but my heart aches & I just want to see him just one more time.
Same age as myself. So tragic. It's something you'd never get over. Innocent babies. 1:09:38
I know it’s heartbreaking 💔
I grew up at this time and am 53 now.
Fani should be focused on using modern technology to solve the unsolved Atlanta Child Murders.
ALL OF THE CASES OF ACTUAL CHILDREN THAT WERE MURDERED WERE SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY MAYOR MAYNARD JACKSON.
They only convicted Wayne Williams of murdering 2 young adults.
She is so delusional to think Wayne didn't do it. Yeah, he killed those guys but he didn't kill those kids. Are you serious? How often do you encounter killers and how often does this happen? Can't she just connect the lines? lmao
I'm sorry but the fact that he smirked after he said "I didn't kill anybody." Sold me. He did it.
personally think his dad did it all or they both did it together, hence the different victims
@@darklegionnaire8304Yes I was thinking that could have been a possibility too
@@raenfairy his dad said on one occasion when the car was spotted he had it that night. why would you not think its him? atleast look at him. also like 50% of the witness sketches just look like his dad.
@darklegionnaire8304 I agree. I think the dad killed the kids and Wayne, the adults.
@@Mammak05 what my thought was is his dad abused him and took him with him to do the boys, scared he said nothing but years of abuse and killing people with his dad he started doing it himself.
So creepy the way he talks about himself in the the third person. You can feel his contempt for everyone through the screen. Killing children made him feel like a big man. He's an arrogant narcissist and a monster.
Exactky
A bloody coward, went after kids and intoxicated ppl whom he can overpower , thinks it's all a joke hate how he laughs at every chance he gets,.I strongly believe he is d killer
He shouldn't be judged based on his personality.
@@ifureallywant2noit’s not what they are judging. Look deeper into what is being said .
@@candy3388that’s exactly what the commenter judged
His smile of duping delight throughout is a real clincher for his guilt.
That smirk is telling.
although i think hes guilty, the behaviour panel isnt infallible and youre not as trained as you think you are
A lot of that is skillful video editing, he could be smiling to maintain his pride
The question is, is there evidence of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt? Personally, don't think so.
Poor babies, there's nothing lower than someone that can take a childs life. Rest In Peace beautiful babies 🙏
And smile about it!
Basically, his attitude is saying, "I did it, but there was no real proof".
You can tell she is so disgusted to be sitting in front of him.
Fair play to her for not bending to him either, you see a lot of reporters sort of pussy footing around them so that they don't get up & walk out
She is definitely biased. Do you remember Richard Jewell? His life was ruined when they zeroed in on him after the Atlanta Olympic Games bombing.
I vote not proven
@@lindaartz3297she was a great interviewer
If I was wrongfully accused of 27 murders, I would be screaming my innocence and distraught I was taken in to custody. This man was so calm from his first arrest up to now. He's guity as cat poop. Period.
Yes I’ll give you that cux I’d be in shambles definitely not giggling I don’t think he did them all but he did some and that’s why he can’t naturally be angry
The clouds came down so Uself can come back” has to be one of the most heartbreaking things a parent could hear, not to mention explain.
Whenever someone starts talking about themselves in the third person, that's when I get the creeps and know very quickly that somethings not firing on all cylinders.
Bundy did that 2 and I believe Gary did to but not sure😊
Bingo
Michael Jordan does that too
I find it extremely weird! Why not just say me?!?!??!?!
That sweet poem. No child should suffer that trauma. Not the deceased or his little classmates. God bless them all❤.
That poem struck a chord with me too. That and one of the victim's 3 year old sister looking for her brother in the fog, what she considered Heaven. That had to have weighed heavy on his mom's heart too.
It brought tears to my eyes.
I found the poem a bit unsettling. Saying right out he was dead and body was found etc.
I thought that poem was inappropriate and disturbing
@@Sas_Katit was making a statement I feel
My heart is shattered for all these innocent children. That poem was devastating. Cops failed these families for how long it took for anyone to care about CHILDREN BEING MURDERED.
That poem for Patrick by his schoolmates got me😢
He used the race card to commit these murders. He knew the children wouldn’t be covered in the media the way it would have and then tried to use it to say he didn’t do it. He’s a predator, an opportunist and a monster.
Untrue, it was race. Our government didn't want to put money into hookers, homeless, mentally ill, disabled, and working class! Not unless it had a agenda purpose. Race isn't a issue for anyone except ppl who are ate up with race. Most people don't see skin and have friends from all backgrounds. Do you?
@@chasingamurderer 🤣🤣 "Most dont see skin colour" LOL its all black folk talk about these days are you kidding , His defence "was not me dude its cos i is black they got me"
And he is still using that to proclaim his innocence. Sickening!
@@chasingamurdererthat’s exactly what he did was use the “I’m black & I’m being blamed for this cause it’s black boys”. They found his fiber matching the one on the young man’s shoes, another set of fibers that were found on a blanket in his home, & yet he still didn’t do it. Found other black hairs on the bodies, and no straight hairs, but it’s still a cover up. Ridiculous!
Agree 100 💯 percent
Body hits the water and he's the only car on the bridge that late at night. They caught him red-handed that night and they knew the caught their killer.
And found a body down stream the next day!
Yes and those cops would be the absolute FIRST to lie in the history of the world. His guilt is unproven as hell
@CRCfail Yeah, just a coincidence he was the only car caught on that bridge and they found the body down stream the very next day.
Same dna sequence only found in black dna and only in 3% of even that group and Wayne Williams has the same sequence and those hairs were found on at least two of the victims. That's a VERY small % of the population.
Oh, and the murders stopped.
🙄
@@CRCfail there are more videos about this man but there’s an older video like from the 80s that shows all the work they did it before they ever landed under the bridge, because the fact is they were under every bridge in Atlanta waiting for somebody to dump a body they had groups so had he picked another bridge it would have been another group of cops that would have caught him. He decided to start dumping bodies in the water because he had been watching the news and apparently somebody leaked it that they were looking for fibers. Since he was filming fires he may have been filming police as well. This man is quite the clever person. Funny how no more boys were being killed after they caught him.
Cops were involved i think in those killings
Crocodile tears from the stepmom. 15 bodies turn up in your area and you still leave a 12 year old boy unsupervised running the streets.. top it off you knew he wanted to go play detective and find a SERIAL KILLER. Shameful beyond belief.
And she had an open casket? She is very strange
Yea I thought it was crazy when she told her story too
So what are u saying, are you implying that she wanted him to get killed
@@EFCLAIRi believe she was trying follow in the way of Medgars mother who had an open casket for the world to see what they did to him.
@@itskristenandkayla4187 I’m saying she clearly didn’t care about him.
Funny how the murders stopped once they put this innocent man in prison 🤔
Iktr
Why do yall keep saying that ? 😂 do you know how many missing children there are in Atlanta at the moment ?
@@RicheeBewith the same M.O. and fibers?
The strangulations stopped but there were more bodies. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more than one killer operating at the time.
This guys a gifted liar. But he enjoyed the attention of this reporter. His smirking face, while talking about murdered children gave me chills, and demonstrated his sociopathic tendencies.
The definition of a loser: a loveless human.
He is not a "gifted liar".
He is just a liar, a murderer and disgusting.
I feel he is telling the the truth
@@user-ti6vd1vw3cLet him babysit your kids then.
The guy is a psychopath, and killed most of these children, if not all.
This guy smiles too much to be innocent. If I was innocent of murder and was in prison for it, I wouldn't be smiling while trying to play the good guy in an interview like that. I would be so upset and angry, and sad.
Not after this long
@@JBoog-hk4cj I would always be angry if I had lost my whole life in prison for someone else's crime.
@@silverwater211 Every second word out of my mouth would have had to be censored.
Serial killers stop for 1 of 3 reasons.
#1 They die.
#2 They go to prison.
#3 They age out and lose their ability to overpower people. They dnt want to turn into a victim themselves. He 100% did this. The reason he’s so calm in prison is because he can’t overpower them dudes. That’s why he attacked the youth.
The fact alone that the murders stopped after he was detained says it all! And his victim blaming is sickening.
His temper came out in that interview. The fact that he said these victims roamed the streets at all kinds of hours and places they shouldn't have been, that statement got me because how would you even know where these victims were at when they were taken and killed. Only the killer would know where these victims were at the time they were taken.
Better yet that’s super insensitive to say ESPECIALLY as a person to have claimed to NOT have committed the crimes. He’s arrogant for sure. Talks in circles
It confirms his contempt for his victims... like he thought they deserve it 🤬
@@BeenHer167 Yeah, I am a big asshole but there's no way I would have that thought about innocent kids being killed and deserving it. That's nuts.
Black on black hate is a real thing jealousy is a real thing he was mad he was UGLY and not dark and perfect like his victims if you notice none of them look like him because he wasn’t typical ! Shitty skin teeth face hair he hates the fact he was not typical and then hates the fact he thought he was better than them typical black thoughts right
Dats krazy Damm fa him ta say dat
This is a hard watch. As a mother i cannot fathom the pain of all these parents having to identify and bury their children.
I hear ya sister.. I have a daughter and a granddaughter.. my biggest fear in life is for something like this happening. I don't know much.. but I know this... I couldn't live after.
They were innocent babies that deserved to be safe!!
As a decent human being I cannot fathom
It creeps me out that people are out here hurting babies & lurking around at night
Not sure if it’s just me over analyzing. But when Wayne was asked if he ever met any of the victims, he says no but nods his head almost as if saying yes at the same time.
It’s heartbreaking it took a over a year for a task force to be formed. How many lives could have been saved if they’d acted sooner?
There is a whole show illustrating how important da First 48 Hours are and da govt waits a year!!! FOH!!!💯💯💯DA GOV'T DID IT!!! Y'ALL R FUCKIN CRAZY AND WEIRD!!!
“ The reaction of the police was we were overreacting and there was no cereal killer” these were black children, they were not about to spend resources on children they didn’t care about! “ police were slow to realize” they were not slow, they didn’t care. Had these been white children then it would have been Hail Mary! The system was never meant to protect our people, it isn’t inclusive to us and never will be. This documentary is a perfect example of why we fight for change!
The families of victims always have to be the one to push them. See it in so many cases. We started collecting a data base of convicted offenders DNA because of victims families to push for the initiative. The parents of the little girl who was kidnapped and murdered by her pedo neighbor. Are the ones who pushed for the amber alert. We, the people, are and have to be the ones to push for justice and push for it to address the gaps. Justice and liberty, are not a static thing.
This was done by a lynch mob the police are slave catchers the klan is responsible and the FBI had to stop the killings by these domestic terrorists organization known as the KKK. Let's look at the History of pattern by white supremacy and lynching no justice for the victims and the largest lynching of children in history some children had strangulation as a manor of death only one group of people I know hanging African American people are the KKK along with the Atlanta police department The Governor knew and did nothing which is why these were Lynchings. Ted Bundy nor Jeffery damer killed this many single handedly without going in noticed.
Shows just how much they DNT GAF
I'm a plumber and when I'm working in a black community everyone takes notice of me. It couldn't have been a white person believe me. Wayne has dupers delight all over his face. They got the right guy.
No way in hell he committed all those murders.
@@omarporter851Exactly.
i agree with you
@@omarporter851 Which ones are you doubting?
@@omarporter851a few he didn’t, but he likely killed two of his accomplices. He also had plenty of time to cover up evidence due to poor police work. His dad helped cover up alot of stuff. There might be more victims or less. He isn’t honest about anything, so we will never know.
My heart goes out to the victims families for not having closure to the tragic loss of their children.
Do you know how to kill someone with a chokehold is the most dumb and idiotic question I have ever heard
A serial killer,or any random killer,doesn't want to know their victims names. They dont want to see them as a person. So when he says he never "met" these people, he's not lying. He didn't ask their name and actually didn't know who they were. As for everything else he said,he's a liar.
Well, that’s not necessarily true. Some killers cut out and keep news articles about their victims. There have been serial killers who taunt their victims’ family members through letters and/or phone calls. The “Long Island Serial Killer” reportedly (and compulsively) performed internet searches for pictures of his victims as well as their families.
@@alexwyatt2911 this is true,but more than likely they just looked through papers for articles on found bodies. Then they use the name to continue the "thrill" of the kill. There is no set pattern to how they behave,sadly.
@@micheleconner5083 A “pattern” is normally how a serial killer behaves.
What is a 'random killer'?
@@alexwyatt2911that’s after the fact and really about them not the victim
Rare fibers with an extremely distinct cross section found on the victims match fibers found in his home.
Dog hair found on victims match the very animal found to live inside his home.
Human hairs found on victims whose DNA evidence rules out 98% of the nation's population and yet does not rule him out. Not to mention the abrupt lack of more victims beginning the day he was arrested. As a juror, there is only one logical conclusion. Guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Add in the extreme oddly timed smiles from the convicted during conversation about murdered children... the correct person is serving time for these crimes.
Absolutely 👍 I don’t understand how some people don’t or can’t put it together🤷🏼♂️
It’s amazing how many don’t believe it was him and claim that more went missing when that’s not true. There’s more found but they had disappeared before he was captured.
Here is a case study for the fiber evidence and the trial. www.cbsd.org/cms/lib07/PA01916442/Centricity/Domain/2007/Williams%20Trial%20Case%20Study.pdf
Some people just have to have a conspiracy theory and will refuse to let it go. Kind of like election lies.
When he got arrested the killing stopped
If a body falls from a bridge, late at night (mind you right in front of an officer) and you are the only one on the bridge...you guilty 😮
Why the cops could have done it aling with the kids
@@quagmirewasereLol. Absurd.
Who told you that story? The police right?
Losing a loved one is never easy.
My condolences to the families ❤🙏🏾
Wayne Williams had so much self hate as a black man living in a black neighborhood and world, the amount of contempt he had rooted for his own people is deep in itself.
The Original Uncle Ruckus
Scary, it's many more like him out here right now
I think he also was self-loathing for being gay.
Do you blame him?
True
This story terrified me as a child. Still does.
I'm an Aquarius too and it terrified me as a little girl as well. I'm just starting to watch shows/documentaries on the case because seeing his face still creeps me out!
👍🏾👍🏾@@Nille0212
It terrified me too when I was a child in the 80s
Me too
Wait a minute… the lieutenant said WHAT about the lint in his dryer!?! Tell me I’m not the only one side-eyeing that! 😕👀
You not.
A younger co-worker of mine hit me with a new theory a few months ago. What if Homer and Wayne worked together. It wolud explain why he was seen burning pictures in a bonfire a night or two after Wayne's arrest. It would explain the missing yellow blanket, the ligament cord, and Homer's peculiar behavior before and after Wayne became a suspect. Homer's presence at the Sinatra/Davis fundraiser looks a lot like someone who can’t refuse the attention that his crimes had gotten.
Also, they were both in the news industry, so one hand washes the other. Interesting theory!
I was never more convinced that Wayne Williams had killed at least the two men he was convicted of until I saw these interviews. Smug, seeming to refuse to answer direct questions directly, smirks, professing to be a scapegoat.
I doubt you could make him for all the murders, but I believe he did most of them and he's exactly where he needs to be.
I dont know what he did or didnt do but I do know the murder spree ended....the day Wayne was arrested....
Plus the murders stopped once Williams was arrested.
Somehow I don't believe. I thing the powers that be are covering for some powerful people
It’s all in the eyes,his eyes are cold and evil
@eldenringer6466 👏🏽👏🏽VERY WELL SAID!!!! I was also convinced one of these killers had to be a POC bc of the fact the officers shared: “had to be someone who doesn’t STAND OUT in the Black Community” HAD TO BE! Bc everyone was on their toes looking for any one that stood out…Wayne knew what he was doing.
I can’t not stomach hearing him talk the narcissism of this monster is disgusting
I miss these programs CNN used to have some of the best programs up there with 60mins! Thank you for showing this again 🙏
Agree since turner sold it never been the same
What a beautiful poem, thank you for sharing. So sorry for the loss of all these children
I remember growing up in the same neighborhood and told don’t talk to anyone. And don’t play on our porch. This was something terrifying…. I remember us sleeping with our parents when this was happening. SMH
I lived in the same neighborhood too wow
Wow, scary, esp for someone from UK...
People don’t understand Atlanta back then. It was the place to be, when kids went missing…black families knew what was up. This wan’t isolated.
Lisa you dont look old enough to be alive at that time lol.
Amazing.
@@chocolatetownforever7537 uhh I deflee was. And was scared and sleeping in my parents beds. Mind you when the story broke we lived on ASHBY ST. IYKYK…..🤷🏽♀️
Ms. Bell is such an articulate, intelligent woman. Too bad the police didn't listen to her sooner. Very thankful that she fought for justice for her son, and the other missing/murdered children. Such a heartbreaking story.
they sound lazy as hell sending kids to stores for tobacco especially when kids have been missing already
And they never thought it was their own kind because he didn't fit the FBI profile.
BS !?!?
I saw the TV movie in the 80s and it was shown on Mindhunters. Ms. Bell was a force to be reckoned with. In Mindhunters, she didn’t believe Wayne killed her son.
Yeah well, you know what they say, if its white give it the spotlight. I'm grateful for my privelage but I want people who aren't white to have the same. Everyone deserves a safe community and a peaceful life, no matter their skin color.
he's so vile. I couldn't stomach hearing him speak. seriously, I fast forwarded thru him speaking whenever he showed up.
Did she really ask that stupid question can you kill somebody with a chokehold
I was between 17 and 19 years old when these murders accured. What a horrifying time. They were talking about his size but he was older and they were little boys at the time. He was stronger and evil. He had extra strength.
I hope he never get out of prison he is a narcissist and a psychopath
he's not gonna.
@@rahallivexI don’t think he will, because this case has too much attention….but they’re releasing killers all the time these days.
Every time he kept saying, “ we’re not gonna get in to that” on every question Soledad asked, I kept saying “BECAUSE YOU’RE GUILTY AS HELL!”. And yet another thing that makes it so obvious he’s guilty, is: there were no more murders, and no more bodies were discovered after he was caught . I hope the families can at the very least get some kind of closure and as much peace as possible, knowing he can’t hurt anyone else. Glad they finally caught him.
Wayne Williams hair DNA matched the murdered children in 2007.
Thankyou I was wondering if they’d proved it with dna
I remember this, I was planning on moving my family to Atlanta at that time but I had 3 young children all boys. I wasn't willing to put my children in danger. This didn't just scare people of of color in Atlanta, this scared people of color everywhere.
Absolutely atrocious ❤️🙏🏼 God Bless you
You sound very protective of these kids. I'm not victim blaming but it makes no sense for these parents to still let their kids hang out unsupervised. Especially after children were getting murdered once a week.
@@neonrays28 I totally agree, and thank you. Yes I was very over protective of my children because my parents was over protective of me and my siblings. And my son's are very over protective of my grandchildren.
It scared some of us white people with young sons too. I had 2 sons in the age group. I know he chose black boys but we had no idea if he might change his M. O. Just to throw the police off or if a copycat might start up. I lived not too far from one of the bridges he dumped a body off of. I myself didn’t see color, I saw the fact that boys were being murdered. I hurt for everyone involved.
@@Harley_Girl68 I agree all children was in danger, except for the fact it took 8 known murders for the police to finally say "Yes these kids are being targeted". At that time if 2 white children would have been killed the same way, and was from the same area, the police would automatically said it's a serial killer at large. So again, I felt all children was endangered. I just hate that the people that signed up to protect us is so bias about one group.
After I seen the interview with the suspect and that evil grin it sealed it for me that he's a sexual predator serial killer 😡 The right person is behind bars!
Nice to see that the Rat Pack got involved to bring attention to the case! Rip little angels 🙏
My heart goes out to all of the Victims Families...this is soooo sad...i hope they all got the help they all need....sending much strength from Germany..
*Really heartbreaking*
Some of the victims was last seen alive with Wayne Williams. What a coincidense...
Not true and not confirmed. The sex offender who claimed that he saw Wayne Williams with his friend last, is factually the last person seen with the victim. Why wasn't he investigated?
Pure evil. He’s guilty, and he knows he’s guilty…smug and arrogant.
He also loves the attention.
Yes
He isn’t guilty 😂. Because think about it . The investigators stated that they’ve found a nylon cord in his car but they never took it . Why is that ? Maybe because there wasn’t a nylon cord there . They also stated that they’ve found yellow fiber on a body which matched a blanket he’s had but why is it that they never took it ? None of that makes sense. Why would they charge him for 2 grown men’s murders and not the children if they strongly believed it was him ?? Even one of the victims mothers felt as though he wasn’t guilty , that should tell you something . He’s also stated that his smug personality is what gets him into trouble . On top of that , murders of more children happened whilst he was in prison .
@@Monkeyy_why did the murders stop once he was arrested?
@@persephoneharrison3439 that’s the thing, the murders didn’t stop . They still found more and more bodies after he was arrested . Some were fresh and some were old .

There was no need to give this coward the chance to repeat his lies on camera.
I'm just a single white lady. I'm in my 5th decade now, so I remember these murders. This is the first time I was told that Wayne Williams was so small!?? Thank God I didn't get a shot at him back then!! I'm a mother, that piece of garbage would have been begging HELL to save him from me! I'm 6ft 230lbs and work with German Shepherds, that man is lucky I wasn't around back then!(at my current statue) nobody hurts kids in my world!
Yet that small man tossed a grown man off the bridge
He was pretty fat back then 😮
@@benperkins9237Height & size doesn’t make any difference when adrenaline is pumping through your veins. I worked on a in-patient mental health facility w/teens.

@@benperkins9237the grown man he threw off the bridge was under 150 lbs. Wayne Williams from the looks of it outweighed him at that time
I bet you're soooo tough.
Beyond the evidence presented, I noticed his arrogance, narcissistic attitude similar to those I know who refuse to take accountability, and love of attention (smiling and enjoying the spotlight being on him). I didn't believe any bs he was spouting. It was a performance made to drag on so the attention continued to be on him. Additionally, the victim blaming of anyone, but particularly children bothered me. Saying that they essentially did it to themselves. It's telling.
I'm so glad the detective didn't listen to his lieutenant and continued to investigate. Poor kids did nothing wrong and yet had their lives taken from them because of a sick liar.
I never get tired of hearing someone defend themselves with the " i didnt do it " defense.
He is absolutely, unequivocally responsible for these murders! His arrogance & narcissism speaks volumes & let’s remember most of the victims were children. They did not deserve this at all.
Wayne Williams was too afraid to go after grown ass men. The two he was convicted of didn’t appear to be much older than 18-19 to me. I forgot what they said their ages were.
ARE YOU SURE ? WE AS PEOPLE WILL "JUDGE" A "BLACK" MAN BASED ON HIS ACTIONS ONLY. HOW WOULD YOU BEHAVE OF YOU SPENT 27 YEARS IN A PRISON FOR MURDERS YOU DIDN'T COMMIT ? THIS IS A COMMON PRACTICE FOR YTS TO MURDER AND BLAME IT ON AMERICAN NIGGAS 😅😅 WELL READ FILE 8100 !
@@lisajeter9511Yes, you don't necessarily need to overpower them if you take them by surprise.
To use the words absolutely and unequivocally makes me think you were when he did it. Were you??
African American children target by whom else but the KKK a domestic terrorists organization caught by police and lynched
I live in Canada and remember hearing about this almost daily on the news. My family was horrified that there were so many young boys murdered and equally horrified at how long it took them to notice a pattern and finally catch the killer! Ive never forgotten his name in all these years and hope he burns in hell for eternity!!
Being someone who had a young girls come up missing when i was in high school
And eventually she was killed by someone in community and they charged a young black kid with I Q of small child.….. This man 35 year later is still in
Prison and no one in community believe right person is in jail. So it's very easy to convicted someone and conviennce a junior to convict a person it not hard to do in court of law
This was a really well put together show
These serial killers always say the most stupid things when they get caught, of course noone seen you doing anything to anybody, why in the world would you do anything in front of someone. That's called a witness. What a monster this guy was. If you didnt do it then dont you think after all these years the real killer would have been caught? They totally have the right guy. RIP to all these beautiful children and my heart aches for all the parents. Even after all these years this is still heartbreaking.
This! He keeps saying prove it prove it. Dude…what more do you want for them to prove it? Short of having you on video committing the crimes, they have an overwhelming amount of evidence that implicated YOU!
I watched this documentary, and it doesn't prove anything except, there's a possibility either way. There's still reasonable doubt lurking on this case. I don't know either way, but there's some deep rooted "POTENTIAL" cover up out there. From this documentary, there's no way someone watching from an unbiased standpoint would say "GUILTY", but it doesn't prove innocence either. More information is needed to prove the outcome.
totally agree with u sweetie this monsters going to hell thats for sure condonlences to the familys that lost their child through this monster hell awaits him 😔💔🙏💐🌹🥀
IF THE REAL KILLER IS THE KKK/KKKOP'S, HOW WOULD THEY CATCH THEMSELVES ? ARE YOU TRUING TO TELL NE THAT NOT ONE PERSON SUSPECTED THE KLU KLUX KLAN KKKOP'S ? COME ON. EVEN THE FBI SEES THAT. READ "FILE 8100". IF YOU STILL THINK HES GUILTY, THEN THATS WHY THEY BLAMED A "BLACK JESUS", THEY KNEW HED BE TRIED BY A CORRUPT JUDGE, DEFENDED BY A CROOKED DEFENCE ATTORNEY AND FOUND "GUILTY" BY A...NOT SO BLIND 😎 JURY.
FILE 8100.....NOT EVERBODYS A KILLER JUST BECAUSE RACIST ASS DUTCH AFRIKAAN KKK KKKOP'S SAY THEY ARE.
That “childlike” behavior is an easy way to lure kids. Easy to bait victims especially that idea of a kid singing group auditions..
What a diabolical person
So the so-called 'Atlanta Child Murderer' was convicted of zero child murders. Extremely bizarre case and worrying for the justice system.
Look at his smirk when she is asking questions.
When there are these constant killings and then they suddenly end the day you get arrested … you did it!
But they did not stop. The police stopped looking, but they kept finding them.
@@janeth3008how do you know that?
@@We_Are_All_Vultures there is actually a list of 'then' missing/unalived before and after his arrest.
@@janeth3008 Those were bodies they found that couldn’t be identified. The police were trying to figure out if they were related to the other victims bc of how they died, where they were found, & when they went missing. You’re lying saying they were killed after Wayne Williams was arrested.
@@w..j..2605 Perhaps before you call people liars, try finding out if more bodies were found after his arrest.
Is it impossible that they were unalived before his arrest and the bodies found at a later date?
Surely there should be some piece of evidence that links him to the young boys right? The police stopped investigating so does that automatically mean he did all them? What if he had help? A copycat even?
That kid said he was gonna find the killer but the killer found him 😮
I'm surprised he has lived this long in Prison. They don't like child killers there
Protected custody
5:25 who is/was the owner of the 1975 Cadillac Deville that's listed on that disk?
These horrifying and haunting murders will never be forgotten. Wayne Williams can say what he wants, but the murders stopped once he was arrested did they not?
That’s exactly what I was thinking! If it wasn’t him, why did the murders stop after he was arrested 🤷♀️
They were supposed to be because he was innocent the frame began then to throw us off
They did not. They simply stopped sharing details that linked the murders. That's all that happened.
@@yolandawilson6619
If they had not stopped, they would have still been in the press and on TV. I have lived here my entire life. I was 11-13 when all of this was happening and I have lived just across the river that he was dumping his victims in. It's absolutely ignorant to think this continued to happen and it was not reported on.
@@FreidaJohnson-bf6xv
He is not innocent. Not by a long shot.
I’m glad this story got the much needed attention. He knew he would go unnoticed committing these horrible crimes. But why children? They did nothing to you.
It's usually something so simple we overlook it. JEALOUSY.
????
Because the weedy little runt could never have overpowered an actual average 'man'!
He chose the small & vulnerable, for that reason only. Also, poor black men dissapearing wouldn't cause anywhere near the attention that children would've and eventually..did.
It was a harrowing time but several were men not children. One of the ones he was convicted of was 27 years old.
@@KABrown-jp5ehhe did get done for killing someone whom was not a child
All I can say that this is totally heartbreaking and I can't imagine how the parents manage to get through this painful and torture of their innocent children being murdered.. My heart is broken watching this... I truly hope the families finally found peace....❤❤❤
Im glad forensics are sooo much better now.
So why did the murders stop after his arrest? He is the worst serial killer ever! No remorse. He is a monster.
When someone is innocent there is a certain aura of sadness and sorrow that's unique that can't be faked that goes along with professing it. This guy was calm, non chalant, unbothered. He acts unbothered because he knows he has been cought so he's trying not to go against the grain but wanting people to be convinced to go with the flow. This is typical anti-social sociopathic, narcissistic behavior.
100% agree . He is so guilty and smug.
what if a psychopath was innocent he would say it just like that?

Did you mean to say "When someone is innocent there is a certain aura of sadness and sorrow that's unique that >can't< be faked that goes along with professing it."? Because how you put it doesn't make any sense. Elaborate please? Thanks.
@@jonathanray7931 Thanks for being the GESTAPO grammar police. It has been fixed just for you. 😊
He's had 30 years to calm down.
Wow! I feel for both the deceased and families!
RIP to all lost in this trragic event :(
It baffles me why anyone no matter what race, why anyone would go out and kill anyone especially children. This will never be forgotten. RIP to all of the victims and my deepest condolences 💐 to their families.
Sweet comment
My heart breaks for their families
Those babies are with God now.😊
Unfortunately people who are this callous look at a child’s innocence and physical weakness and think they are perfect victims. I hope he rots in jail.
@@glxtterbxmb* in hell
What most people don't realize is when they say things like, "It baffles me...", "I don't understand how...", or "I don't get how someone can do something like this..." - it's a good thing, because if you said, "I understand...", or "I can relate to..." a serial killer...then, theres a problem. Leave "relating" to serial killers and murderers to people who have the absolute innate ability to compartmentalize and live normally to trained professionals, and continue to be baffled by murderers, because the moment you can honestly say, "I KNOW how it feels to want to fulfill the urge to murder children..." - is the moment you should not be among the norms of humanity.
@@SPAMusubiHalauyep. Thankfully if you think that way you're thinking rationally.
The marks that describes are exactly where youd have scratches if someone had you in a chokehold from behind. Im always suspicious of killers who bring a script to read off, Gacy did the same attempting to proclaim his innocence. That man gives me the absolute creeps through a screen! He was pandered too by his parents, never held accountable and certainly wasnt ever given consequences by them. Theyre the type of parents who would lie for their murderous sons actions to save face. The way LE handled this case was disgraceful ALL children are precious and should be protected. That journalist was too aggressive with him she should have matched his persona. You get more with honey than you do with vinegar . Why didnt she ask him why there was no more child murders after he was incarcerated?? The fact hes technically not in jail for killing those children makes me sick. Theyre children!!
FILE 8100....JUDGE THE GUILTY ..NOT THE INNOCENT.
@@soulfoodforthought9225is this a book ? I’m curious I actually wanna read it.
Most of the cops including the fbi guy were black
There's no way to play the race card with le in this
They tried
I think
They were working it very hard
Williams was a clever person
He started playing games
He watched the cops
He put himself on the cops radar
They had not had anyone before if I remember right
After he was on their radar they found all the evidence they needed
Watch anything you can abo
He sacrificed blk boys for lost men
What I’m curious about is why when it’s black people are the bodies shown on here? When it’s anyone else, their bodies are blurred out.
A Black Woody Allen 😂😂😂😂
_he looks like him but this story isn’t funny._
His contempt for his own people is disgusting and profound. Combined with his closeted homosexuality and narcissism was a deadly combination for the children he claimed as victims.
Who would want to murder a child I cant comprehend it sister I'm from Scotland and I cant stand it it makes me want to cry when I hear a child has been killed.
All children r going to heaven anyway.
@@user-hw8ju6fo1jDon't forget the Beever Brothers, kids who murdered their parents. There were also female twins who killed their family,and Joel Guy who wanted hìs inheritance NOW.
I know it's shocking how can anyone kill a child it's beyond me.
Or even their parents anyone for that matter. It's beyond my comprehension.
GUILTY AS HELL..WHAT WAS HE DOING AT THE BRIDGE AT THAT HOUR???
Camille's memories broke my heart. 😢 🙏
Condolences to every family member, friend, community person who's lost someone and who's life changed forever.
The poem 🥺
Does this guy actually believe that if he denies everything so many times that he will become innocent
Possibly, Trump thinks the same way
I think it’s more of a control thing. A lot of serial killers will keep some of the details secret as a way of holding power over law enforcement and the victims families. So many will confess, but refuse to tell where the body is or refuse to admit certain things about the case. He knows he’s hurting the families by refusing to confess, especially since he’s already spending the rest of his life in prison
Huh?? Awe no. I firmly believe he did it. Some of those kids were simply running errands for their parents or neighbor….too many coincidences with the station wagon witnessed by 2 or more people, his connection to the Omni, and the fibers? And him stopping in the bridge in the middle of night? Nah… he did it…
There were pet hairs.
From the Williams family pet
Yeah, he said "nobody saw me attacking them." Yeah because you did it where people weren't there to see him. What an absolute pig.
@@lindaarrington9397on every child or just some? I don’t doubt for a second that he’s responsible for killing some of those kids, but I wonder if he really did them all or if someone else got away with murder. What if the cops just chalked one up to being a victim of Wayne, but it was really someone else? It’s a damn shame he wasn’t charged with any of their murders.
@@isitoveryet9525I agree 100%. He did some but not all. I don't think he murdered those little girls.That wasn't to his taste and he wouldn't have been brave enough for B&E. I saw another documentary that said some of the children's bodies had been "ritualistcally posed". They didn't go into any other details and I can't find anything in my research on it.
He looks so smug. Why are they even giving him an audience? Clearly he did it. Poor victims.
I was in grade school in the Midwest while these murders were happening. Though hundreds of miles away and a different race, my classmates and I were filled with dread / sadness for the victims and we worried it could happen to us.
Rest In peace to those beautiful children 😢❤❤❤❤❤😥😥😥😥
I was 10-11 when this was happening. I have no memory of really watching the news in those days, most 10 year olds don’t, but I distinctly remember THIS. I didn’t live anywhere near Atlanta but this is indelibly imprinted on my memory. It was terrifying for everyone, everywhere.
OMG! Same here. I can remember having that feeling of fear.
@Parismel - I remember this down to the Green Fibres! And I was the same age you were approximately. It was unbelievably terrifying even all the way up in Ontario Canada.
Well I think the document that was brought up at the end did it for me. He kept evading the guesting when asked about the choke hold training. He was shocked and asked where did you find that. Guilty.
I’m white was in my late 20’s with two sons 10 and 8 living in Cobb County just barely north of Atlanta not far from the Chattahoochee where they found a couple of the bodies. I watched over my sons more during this time. No way to know when this guy might change M.O. although probably not as scared as the Black community others were scared too. I know after Williams was arrested it stopped, I don’t know if that made him guilty or if someone said I’m no longer pressing my luck. Either way it was over. I do believe he killed the two adults he was convicted of. I definitely lean to guilty on the kids but without a trial for them there are to many unanswered questions.
A wise man once told me
" be careful what you allow into your mind".
It can affect the psyche
of a child for a lifetime.
Serial killers seem to always have on a odd pair of glasses
I remember this case so vividly , I was a teenager working at a museum in harlem and the artist in residence was doing real time art about it , every week and child that got murdered , it was so sad 😮
