Today at 10:15 am Atty Paul Howard, DA for Fulton County along with the FBA announced that DNA evidence now proves that Wayne Williams is the Atlanta Child Murder's Serial Killer. They used the DNA fibers from his dog, Sheba to prove this twenty-five-year old case. All 5 hairs found on 5 different victims contain the same DNA sequence matches that match Sheba. However, there is still much speculation as to the validity of this new evidence and whether evidence tampering had taken place..I was a little girl when the Atlanta Child Murders took place, so I don't remember much. But I do remember a time when my Mom was too scared to let my brother and I play outside. Bringing this case up reminds me of such a scary time. I wonder what will it take to bring closure to this tragedy?
A great book that explores this time is Tayari Jones' Leaving Atlanta.
