dna evidence
new dna evidence has connected the suspect directly with 12 of the victims.
sharewho is the suspect? Wayne Williams you mean? Doesn't surprise me but yet it does. Or do you mean the Ku Klux Klan fellow?
shareIt was Williams. Of course, that doesn't get widely reported in the "non biased" media that he has now been linked that way.....
shareJohn Douglas, the FBI profiler who worked on this case, has always said that Williams was responsible for only 12 of the murders. Who is responsible for the other 20?

It's an example of "overlinkage". After the case garnered attention, everytime a child was found murdered, it was linked to the serial killer, regardless of age or even gender. The same thing happened in California after the Zodiac killer. At the height of his reign of terror, every time there was a murder it was linked to him. To this day, people link as many of 50 murders to the Zodiac, even though he is only officially linked to 7.
So yes, even though 31 children were murdered, Williams was a serial killer who was responsible for only a handful of them.
The real shame isn't that he was convicted, as he was a murdering prick, it is in the police force. Once he was convicted, they could close the other cases, even though he had nothing to do with them. Police are notorious for that. When Henry Lee Lucas made his claim of killing hundreds, police from all over the nation showed up to interview him and close cases, even though later he withdrew all his confessions
