Atlanta Child Murders exclusive series | Murder in Black & White 

I pray for justice to be done, and for healing to come for all concerned.

Atlanta Police Department Is No Different Than The Dallas Police Department.

it's a shame how much effort was put into sweeping this under the rug.

Open up the case!! And why the hell does Miss Katherine have to beg for memorial!!!

Ohhh but when God brings justice, it is nothing they will be able to do to stop it

This is so sad to watch. No mother has to go through this pain.

Back in the late 80s or early 90s they made a movie on HBO or Showtime with Gregory Hines playing an FBI agent investigating the Atlanta child murders and the movie concluded that the klan was involved in the murders, now it was not taken serious because it was a movie, but the movie probably got their info from this secret case on the kkk. Its been 40 years since these murders started and still have not been solved, my Heart goes all to all of those families that suffered this horrific tragedy, incredibly sad. SMDH.

Families need the closure. Please reveal the truth.

Someone vulnerable has to be the scapegoat

So what happens next?. .oh yeah we'll just sweep it under the rug... no one will be held accountable.

This could be solved....DNA. with technology today. These poor babies, and their families, IMO this can be solved.

I remember when this was going on, I was creeped out all the way from Denver, (and although I was white). I would run to get the paper off the porch every day when I woke up, hoping they had caught the person. Then, when I saw that Wayne Williams had been convicted for two of the killings, I didn't feel satisfied that the case had really been solved. I hope they can settle this, and lay it to rest.

The same thing is happening again. Right in St. Louis Missouri. We have to come together

Theres a reason why wayne williams was never charged with the murders

This is GOOD journalism ! Brava to Neima Abdulahi

This is so heartbreaking I can't stop crying. 😥😥😥😥💔💔💔💔🙏🙏🙏

Why would you not give the families a memorial it should have been done once the families ask for it. The first time they ask .The only words they should have heard was yes!! RIP beautiful children

God will judge these people real soon

Thank you. For bring awareness. Listening to some of the victim families the pain in their voices. To have no clear answers. Those all involved and the cover up. The Pits are waiting for you.

I pray for the family and they find peace for their lost.

The host of this series referred to it as a “cold case.” This is no cold case. The man who murdered these young men is locked up for it.

I was 11 yrs old when this case first started. It spooked me & I had nightmares every night for 2-3 yrs & made my mother leave a light on cuz in the dark I couldn't get the images of my imagination out of my head & would see things in the dark. There could be no clothes or anything on the floor or I would wake up from nightmares thinking the pile on the floor was a child. I believe it affected the whole nation & kids were scared everywhere. I grew up in Texas & this one sticks with me to this day. Many nights I had to sleep with my mom til I was about 14 or 15 yrs old. I believe this type of thing happened in a lot more places than just Atlanta.

This so painful and sad I am from Atlanta North West Atlanta i was born In 1982 so sad i always thought until till this day think that KKK these kid's😠😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢rip to all the victim's Am so sorry for there family's

Isn't it ironic, the killings stopped after Wayne Williams was arrested

Did anyone realize Larry called out names and they wouldn't release it. Hope the named person will be investigated.

When he said Grand dragon that's scared the shit outta me, pure demonic

The government got they hands all in that.

They can run! But they can't hide!

May god bless the families that were traumatized l love 💕 y'all hopefully there will be closer

Shit about to hit the fan now😡 Wayne didnt kill no one and its about time hes getting some real help.

Did you all verify this informant was who he said he was? Just curious. I never believed even as a child that Wayne was guilty if murdering those children and I was a child myself. In fact I was around the age of the victims and even to this day I don't believe it was Wayne. Why I've always felt that way I can not explain.

so many killed in that day. Would be good to get justice for all these babies. I was in high school at the time. It made the entire area extra cautious

I understand and feel for a need of a plaque and a memorial! What about who KILLED these people. And the person they claim who did it! Wayne B. Williams is still in prison!

Were there any more missing children after wayne's arrest?

This beautiful woman was a Angel in disguise... God is soo good"🙏💖

Now lets see whats gonna happen now since this has came out... Probably nothing like usual.

This Makes Me Angry . I can Feel My Ancestors Enraged!!! God Bless Their Souls And I can not wait until judgement day

Camille Bell was that you never seen her sad or crying or despondent about her child or any of the others. She was always angry and critical. I know everyone weeps differently but I suspect she not only had an idea of who may have killed her son but her public demeanor was a way to mask her regret or parenting decision. And she LOVED the limelight. The trips, the cameras and interviews, THE MONEY. When watched as a whole, a lot of her public presentation seemed to be more about identifying her as THE mother of the slain children. She did not want to concede the narrative to any other community leader. For example, there is TV clips from a townhall meeting just after the Bowen Homes tragedy. Camille Bell is seated on the front row as different citizens shared their opinions. The camera cuts to her as a "very urban" peer is trying to express themselves. She doesn't agree with the approach so she rolls her eyes and then interrupts by offering some passing support and then dismissing herself in a hurry. I believe Yusuf was killed by an acquaintance of his father. The MO of stranger danger passing by and saying "hey lil boy do you wanna make some money" doesn't apply here as he was running an errand already to make a lil change. His body was not dumped but rather hidden as to have not been found and then strangely found by a school janitor. A school janitor and family friend also identified his body. He was found in a school. There was a witness who saw the father with Yusuf, etc. The one string of information that MAY point to Yusuf being killed by one of the child murderers is that a witness came forward after the Timothy Hill killing to say that he and Hill would go to the Salvation Army to steal things because they knew the security guard, Larry Marshall. Marshall would lead them to the back of the store where they would be sodomized by waiting men. This little boy said he also knew Yusuf. Birds of a feather? Maybe. But I still think the details surrounding his killing points to the father. Camille was so outspoken that no one wanted to confront her with this.

I remember watching the Atlanta Child Murders miniseries in 1984 which focused on Wayne Williams, but a few years after that another movie; Who killed Atlanta's Children, staring Gregory Hines & Jim Belushi focused on the KKK. I've always felt & still do today feel Wayne Wms was used as a scapegoat in order to restore Atlanta's image, which blossomed after Wayne's conviction

I don’t think Wayne was responsible for all either but he’s prob guilty of two.

I still feel Wayne Williams got railroaded and Atlanta first black administration wanted to cover their a**es. I know we have some violent and cruel people in this society but I never felt he did this.

I believe Wayne killed some of them,but I believe that the two that Wayne killed could have been his accomplice.I think that he silenced them forever.

“So we took it straight to the mayor” Mayor: 😭😭😭😭it coulda been me

how can you call this a cold case wow just can't admit a black man murdered & sexually assaulted those poor kids stay angry lady 👍🏾👍🏿

He was caught in a police trap dumping a body from the bridge. The area had police set up so when they heard the splash he and his car were detained and there was no other car except his. He can lie to kingdom come and still be quality. Unless the arrest night has changed I don’t care how many times he denies it he was caught dumping a body.

I'm a licensed psychologist. The reason Wayne Williams failed the polygraph is because he fell for our famous trick. As a polygrapher, there are two things we look for. (1) If the person arrives late. (2) If the person asks questions after the test. If they arrive late, that usually indicates their unwillingness to answer questions which is an automatic FAIL. If the person asks if they passed or failed, that usually indicates they have lied which is also an automatic FAIL. After all, if you've been honest, why are you concerned if you passed or failed? After every test, we are suppose to ask if you have any questions. The best thing you can do is say, "NO." Wayne Williams took the bait and started asking questions which is why he failed. You can believe me when I say that Wayne Williams is innocent. He is only guilty of having a smart-aleck mouth... which is what got him thrown into prison.

I am heartbroken and sick. 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. Pure evil 👹👹👹👹👹

Is John David Wilcoxen still alive? If the Mayor really wants to get to the bottom of this she's talk with him.

🛑 There's a DIRECT correlation TODAY. (Botham Jean, Atatiana Jefferson, etc.) That's what I've been saying over the past few days. SAME STORY. DIFFERENT CAST. 🛑 Don't fall for the trap. It's important that we stand strong, in unity, as we see reality for what it is...the undercurrent of hatred is at a simmer. #DontFallForTheTrap

See The Government Will ALWAYS Protect Who They WANT To Protect! 😡😡

These murders were committed by several different people, not a "serial killer." Remember the murders of 10 year old Earl Terrell and 12 year old Christopher Richardson? Shotgun shells were found beside their bodies, but their causes of death were "Undetermined." According to police, a "middle-aged white man with a southern drawl" called Earl Terrell's home to say he had Earl in Alabama and asked for $200 by Friday, but no more calls came. Over half of the victims were killed with guns of different calibers, but neither Wayne Williams nor his father owned any guns, and no guns were found in their home. Incidentally, 14 year old Eric Middlebrooks was killed two weeks after he testified against three juveniles in a robbery case. Right before Wayne was arrested, District Attorney Lewis Slaton publicly announced they did not have enough evidence to arrest Wayne Williams, but the Federal Government pressured Lewis Slaton into issuing an arrest warrant anyway.

The question Why is still unanswered.

We are not safe until god rid this world of these devils

I don't believe he committed all of them but he did kill some of those children.

I never believed he killed all those children.

Wayne may have killed a few of them, but not all of them, especially the adults.

The KKK killed those 29 kids. Smh

Come on…. We know it’s Wayne

Yall police did that

organ harvesting?

Praises to MH we finally know the truth ! God MH Yah reveal !

I haven't seen the rest o f the video, but I hope they get the memorial.

She never answered why they convicted him!!!

This story always breaks my heart.... children don't deserve to be murdered and thrown out like trash. My children are 12 & 14 1/2 black, I can't even imagine something like this happening and I feel for these parents eternally. They deserve justice and the kids deserve remembrance. :(

I live in Canada's Capital and I remember these boys faces and their murderers name What I don't understand is how can that Mother's dream of having a memorial not come true? I wish I was rich - I would go poor giving it all away

Any one that took part and knew about this and turned a blind eye will have to stand before God and be judged....let your nightmares torment you until the end of your days...

I love this

3 years ago and she still haven't did shit for this case wow

Side note, i was 16 when he was arrested, race relations were BETTER Back then... theyve gone down hill last 12 years tho

If he was never proven why are they calling him a serial killer, a child murderer?

It's interesting to explore it as a political and social phenomenon. Wayne Williams was a graveyard shift freelance news photographer, which meant he knew, through contacts and police scanners, what was going on in the middle of the night around Atlanta. Wayne was fucking with a law enforcement investigation that was in crisis and a political establishment -- local, state, and federal -- that was severely stressed. In that circumstance, the prosecutor would be looking for a ham sandwich to indict, and the political super-structure would assure that once the train left the station there would be no looking back.

Poor children and families

I hope Wayne never gets out. He'll be more trouble than bk in the 70 and 80s

That's what happens when your buddies are in a terrorist org. You look the other way. This is so messed up. Justice should have been served.

Similar story in Northern British Columbia Canada ( Highway Of Tears )

27 children murdered. Out of those 27 only one female. That tells a lot. That there was a very active male child killer. Back then children getting murdered was completely abnormal. Children passing from flu, measles, car wrecks, very common. Sickness claimed many young. But to have 27 kids murdered in one place back then that was unheard of. Now a days you hear about babies and kids getting murdered all the time. Rather intentionally or not. Stray bullets. Parents, step parents, foster parents, babysitters, neighbors. So it ties to one killer with the exception of literally one. It was not the KKK. To never cause a seen, hear a child scream, abducted from a regular route, etc a white person would have stuck out like a sore thumb. To abduct that many kids and double that for just the scoping he would have had to have done. No. Didn't happen. This was someone that would not have gotten a second glance. They wouldnt even have been able to drive down the street without people without drawing attention. Not to mention the KKK did not abduct small children no matter their color. They did have a basic structure and an obvious history and pattern when they did commit or were involved in a crime. Im not taking up for them. Im stating a fact. My dad, a white man was born and grew up in Brewton, Alabama. He told me something once that really surprised me. The KKK built and lit a cross in his grandma's front yard. Who by the way also white. You would be a target of them also for not taking care of your kids or being a regular a church. Or broke some other rule or law that to them showed you were not contributing to the white class. Rather you knew about it or not and didnt have anything to do with the KKK if you were white you were expected to act in what at that time a social and outward appearance of whiteness. Even if you did not agree or paid them mind you werent going to do anything that they opposed of because so many men from families all of the county were in the KKK. So eyes everywhere. But these men were also higher on the social and economic ladder. You wouldnt find a man and woman living in a one to two bedroom cabin built themselves farming their own land for food on their own table and then just a little more to sell to buy the other things they needed. WITH 14 KIDS. That would be my great grandparents. My gggreatma got killed by a bear. My gggrandpa married her sister. Which at the time made sense. You didn't get to meet people. You have a bunch of kids and this person already has been around them and more than likely lived in the home with them. My dad's cousin is also his brother. They have the same dad and their mom's are sisters. Yep. Alabama. But towns then everyone was related and were cousins. Everywhere. Now population is so huge and people can socialize with others within seconds o the other side of the world. Back then they didn't leave til it was time to get married.

Don’t ask this land is your land this land is my land , in your house you have things that belong to you , Rosa parks gets a street , so they took her from back of bus and placed her under it , wake up give black children’s a sense of belonging , write the black humans story give Rosa a statue

The true story on netflix "mind hunter" details behind the scenes of the FBI in this case

29!?? Twenty Nine Black Boys lives.

Im from atlanta the same area where they found some of these babies and i always felt it was the kkk

What was wayne doing on that road guys at 3 a.m.

Is that jurors' shirt ripped? Not trying to downplay the topic at all, but it's driving me nuts

what about Waynes freedom??

So let's remove the child murders at the moment Are you also looking to clear him on the two adults he was convicted of ? Was he set up for that as well ? Or are you saying he is guilty of those but not the kids i don't get a clear answer for that anywhere and just trying to fully understand great series thx for all the hard work

Terry pushed his bike in to my car , I had a Smurf car ....

al sharpton !! where you at?

7:23 case closed… Wayne was the killer. You heard it from a witness

Who did it?? Think about the klansmen who nobody thought of. They know how to cover their actions very well.

So after all these years ,has ANY DNA evidence been found that points to Wayne Williams?

The monster is right where he should be....in a cage....

The lady that was a juror is such a pretty older lady.

The families ABSOLUTELY deserve proper closure, but it begins and ends w Wayne Williams. What is another viable answer? The Klan convinced local black residents to kidnap black kids, then carefully murdered them w surgically identical consistency to ensure one 'innocent' person would be falsely convicted? All this executed w/out a single person talking about it? Nonsense. Give the families the closure they desperately need by applying modern investigative techniques and technology to undoubtedly prove Wayne Williams' guilt to the extent possible. If ANY of the victims are not linked to Williams beyond a reasonable doubt, disclose the facts and reopen the case(s). God Bless

#Justice B1 #whoarewedealingwith if it was not Williams

Did the killing stoped after Wayne Williams was arrested

Does anybody know if any of the children were sexually assaulted? If so, about how many? Was a motive ever established in the murders that Wayne was convicted of? Also, besides the murders he was convicted of, what's the age of the oldest victim?

And pay attention to "All The Missing Black Children" in the southern states now and across the country!! @Black And Missing But Not Forgotten👀👈

Atlanta is pitiful

The families need some closures it won't do Wayne Williams any good the books is closed on him

She’s not a good interviewer.

I like this mayor.
