Atlanta Child Murders: The investigation and arrest of Wayne Williams (2014)

[@SayNoToAuthoritarianism]

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?

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.

[@junehalog024]

Thing is, most criminals who possess extreme intelligence would challenge you to dig up dirt against them instead of admitting or denying the allegation. They would rather say they won't answer the question because they know not everyone would stop and take their time to look for clues and answers to prove their crime.

[@lb8471]

Actually, there were other murders after Wayne was arrested. I do believe Wayne committed some of the murders and I believe White men also committed some of them.

[@badfoot11]

the fact is because most of his victims were "throw aways" he was allowed to kill for many years before the police deemed there being a pressing reason to pursue him and his ilk. today with the "drug problem" ripping across America "serial killers" have an open season as long as they can make the death seem drug related. as long as they don't hunt pretty clean white girls they're good.

[@Xandra1076]

Technically, if he was involved in some form of CIA training he likely signed a version of a security clearance agreement that requires him not to say anything. He CAN'T talk about it. Source: The security clearance paperwork I signed while in the US Army, which lasts until my death. I can't discuss any of the classified information I was privy to, either. That's separate from the murders, but what you're quoting was specific to her questioning him about some kind of CIA training he apparently attended.

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. 🙄

[@blyt5046]

@@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.

Camille Bell and her surviving children spent a few weeks sheltering with me and my college roommates in 1983.

I didn't know enough of the facts of the case at the time to comment, and my opinion wouldn't have mattered, anyway. We were just trying to help a grieving family. But, the grief, pain, and disbelief that she feels to this day is as painful to witness now, as it was 40 years ago. Heartbreaking.

I can understand her feeling about it being racially driven but the fact that SO many young men were taken and no one really noticed, it makes more sense that Wayne Williams did it.

What's with the African-American thing... you never hear us British use such a term... African-British ???... just doesn't sound right.... Black people in the UK are just British... maybe getting rid of the term will reduce the racial emphasis, which I think causes a destinction in racism by definition...

I just want to know why such beautiful children were killed. Why???

[@estherpeterson8943]

I remember when this happened I prayed so hard for the families but I was not a mother then now I know the hurt these mother's and fathers felt I'm now a grandmother ...and I think I know the hurt they must of felt

[@DavePocklington]

The fact that that type of murder stopped after he was jailed, speaks volumes.

[@mrmc9278]

​@@ZacoosoloSoloGood thing you weren't on the jury. He'd still be strangling kids.

[@juliemcgugan1244]

He's guilty as sin. You can see it in his evil eyes and that smug grin.

That's awful. I feel so sorry for patricks mom. God bless her and give her strength.❤❤❤❤

I’m sure his father felt so betrayed by his colleagues instead of putting the blame where it should have laid!

[@bestridgeful]

The way he said, "YOU probably can". After being asked about the 'chokehold'.

[@isaacseo5280]

Subconsciously, he was basically admitting, "YEAH, it was that easy!"

[@christy3d]

That “childlike” behavior is an easy way to lure kids. Easy to bait victims especially that idea of a kid singing group auditions..

[@duckypam]

What a diabolical person

[@poldniuopeno2401]

I feel so sorry for my black people, we still believe that this black man went around killing black kids damnnn, what the hell, we're killing each other these days like drinking water anyway☺️ so this doesn't matter anymore, our white oppressors got away with this one though! Framed an innocent black man, the white people that did this is probably to old to walk or dead anyway so it really doesn't matter anymore!

Liars are evil. Already in prison; why can’t he confess and apologize to families. And get it off his chest.
