- Description:
- View of jurors in the Missing and Murdered Children case of Wayne Williams inspecting the river bank where Williams was said to have turned around before re-crossing the James Jackson Parkway/South Cobb Drive bridge over the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia.
The Atlanta Missing and Murdered Children case pertains to a series of murders committed in Atlanta, Georgia from 1979-1981 during which 29 African-American children and young adults were killed. In 1981 police arrested Wayne Bertram Williams, and in 1982 Williams was found guilty of two of the 29 murders. The remaining murders were closed, although the case Williams' guilt was opened in 2005, and re closed in 2006. In 2007 a DNA test was done on evidence from the case but results were considered inconclusive, and Williams' sentence was not changed. - Local Identifier:
