 ATLANTA (AP) - Some relatives of children who were killed in a series of slayings that terrorized the Atlanta area more than 20 years ago believe the wrong man was blamed for most of the killings, and they are hopeful a new investigation will uncover the real culprit.
The DeKalb County police chief has reopened the cases of four of the 29 victims — all blacks and mostly boys. The deaths between 1979 and 1981 led to one of the most intensive criminal investigations of the century.
Wayne Williams was convicted of two murders and blamed for 22 others, but he was never charged in the other cases.
