The Atlanta Child Murders: The Night Stalker

As darkness descends upon the city, so does the Night Stalker - who prowls the streets looking for his prey: children and young people of the 'street.' Under the vigilant eyes of a Task Force of over 100 agents at times and a city in lockdown, the murders continued for two years and a body count of 28 - until a rookie cop under the Chattahoochee River Bridge heard a 'splash.' Many questions would be answered: What was Wayne Williams doing on the bridge at 03:00 a.m.? Will dog hair and fibers found on bodies of the victims be connected to a suspect? Can police trace the unusual Wellman 181b fiber to a source? With police sharp-shooters on the roof-tops, a 'carnival-like-atmosphere' around the courthouse, and eloquent displays of lawyerly talents in the courtroom involving science, CSI effects, pathology, river hydrology, and forensics, a trial not before seen was played out for the jury. It was called "The Case of the Century." Was Wayne Williams the Atlanta 'Night Stalker,' or was he railroaded? What was the role of the KKK in the murders? You decide!
