Summary
THE ATLANTA CHILD MURDERS was the sensational case that rocked the nation in the early 1980's with rumors of Ku Klux Klan serial murders of at least 28 black children, adolescents and adults. The inability of the authorities to stop the murders and solve the cases over a two-year period and the controversial trial of Wayne Williams were the biggest media event in America at the time, with the Governor of Georgia, Vice President George Bush, Muhammad Ali, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. becoming involved in the case. This documentary contains the first ever on-camera interview with Wayne Williams, whom authorities dubbed the Atlanta Child Killer and an interview with an FBI agent who admits they mishandled key evidence
