Between 1979 and 1981, Atlanta was gripped by a chilling mystery. Nearly 30 African-American children, teens, and young adults disappeared—many found murdered, others never seen again. Fear tore through communities, trust in law enforcement crumbled, and the city was left searching for answers that never fully came.
Who killed Atlanta's children?
Why were so many voices ignored for so long?
And why, after the arrest of one man, did the questions only multiply?
In The Atlanta Child Murderer, author Verna Bulkey takes readers deep into one of the most haunting chapters in American criminal history. Through vivid storytelling and relentless research, this book examines the timeline of events, the victims' stories, the investigative breakthroughs—and the failures that followed. From the shadowy arrest of Wayne Williams to the public's lingering doubts and the recent decision to reopen the case decades later, this book pieces together the tragedy through fresh eyes.
You'll uncover:
The full profile of victims and their last known moments
The evidence that led to the arrest—and what was left out
The voices of grieving families who never stopped speaking
The role race and media bias played in public perception
The enduring fight for justice in a case that still feels unsolved
This is not just a book about crime—it's a book about memory, loss, and the unrelenting pursuit of justice when justice feels out of reach.
This book is based on public records, media coverage, and independent research. All efforts were made to ensure accuracy. The work does not intend to accuse or defame any individual.
If you care about justice, unanswered questions, and stories that demand to be remembered—this is the book you cannot afford to miss.
