Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced Utah lab to analyze DNA evidence from Atlanta child murders
“It is my sincere hope that there will be concrete answers for the families,” Lance Bottoms added.
Between 1979 and 1981, 29 Black children and teens were killed in Atlanta. Wayne Williams is considered the main suspect, but he’s never been charged in connection with the deaths. In 1982, Williams was sentenced to two life sentences for the murder of two adults.
In 2019, Bottoms and former Atlanta Police Chief Erika Shields announced evidence from the “Atlanta Child Murders” would be looked at to see if they could be tested further. Earlier this year Lance Bottoms announced investigators extended the timeline to 1970-1985 to see if they can get information on any murders the police may have missed.
