00:00THE CITY IN BRAZIL
00:30It's the new Motown of the South.
00:36It's an incredible city, a place where many people come to improve their lives, many African Americans come here.
00:43This city is amazing, man. You come here and you're in luck.
00:47But as an overly busy city that aspires to a bright future,
00:53Atlanta holds a dark secret that happened 40 years ago.
00:57And it still haunts the people who experienced it.
01:01If you hadn't lived here in Atlanta at the time, you wouldn't even know these crimes occurred.
01:10From 1979 to 1981, the city of Atlanta dealt with the unthinkable.
01:17All the children are between 8 and 15 years old.
01:22Bodies of Black children continued to appear in the woods.
01:26I looked and it was a human skull.
01:28And in the rivers.
01:29Apparently, this latest death is linked to the others.
01:32More than two dozen victims.
01:34The person who did this was a psychopath and a monster.
01:43I hugged her body and said, "What did they do to you?"
01:46Families were devastated.
01:48The only person I had died.
01:50And I didn't even get to say goodbye.
01:52And old tensions reach a boiling point.
01:55Atlanta looked like it was about to explode.
01:59It has to be the police.
02:00Who else could possibly do something like that?
02:02The Ku Klux Klan could be killing these black children.
02:05They wanted to start a racist war.
02:07At the root of all this is racism.
02:09Everyone was a suspect.
02:12Until a major discovery changed everything.
02:16It's the sound of a body falling into water.
02:20I said, do you know why we stopped you?
02:22Yes, because of the murder of the children, right?
02:25It was the trial of the century.
02:27I really hope they have more than just fiber.
02:32Forty years later, the parents and relatives still have questions.
02:38And it hurts so much that she was forgotten, along with the other children, forgotten.
02:43Was justice truly served?
02:46When you look back at history, absolutely not.
02:49Their case was never properly investigated, and there may still be a killer at large.
02:53One day, maybe we'll find out what happened.
02:58This is the eighth time a body has been found in a river.
03:03Police are still investigating the murders of at least four more young people.
03:08All the children are in the same age range.
03:10They are between eight and fifteen years old.
03:12Today, there was another funeral.
03:16The twentieth child found dead.
03:17Another boy was found dead.
03:19The investigators are baffled.
03:21I just want them to find my little girl safe and sound.
03:24And bring her home.
03:26I miss her.
03:27I love her.
03:28Terror in Atlanta
03:29The tallest building when I arrived here on November 11, 1970, had 24 floors.
03:46Now, if you look at the Atlanta skyline, it's nothing compared to the surrounding area.
03:51In 1972, until the late 1970s and early 1980s,
03:57The city was on the verge of a population explosion that continues to this day.
04:09It's strange to think about it now, but thinking about it, in 1973, 74 and 75,
04:17It had only been about a decade since the great civil rights law.
04:23There was a real sense of metamorphosis happening in the south.
04:31Atlanta was, in some ways, spared all the turmoil of the 1960s.
04:38I remember that one of the first articles I wrote when I came here...
04:42It was about African Americans who were returning to the South.
04:47In 1973, the growing black population elected the first black mayor, Maynard Jackson.
04:55The poorest communities placed their faith and trust in Maynard.
05:01and they contributed greatly to his victory in that first election.
05:06One of the first things Maynard Jackson did was to restructure the police force.
05:12He wanted the police department to be more "brown," that was the term he used.
05:16Until then, it was primarily an all-white team.
05:20The department was still racist, it was still discriminatory.
05:25I know this from personal experience, from what I witnessed.
05:28And then Maynard Jackson became mayor and gave us hope that everything would change.
05:37In 1978, Mayor Jackson appointed Lee Brown as commissioner of public safety.
05:43and George Knapper as chief of police.
05:46The change was beginning.
05:51Despite strong economic growth, the city's black population remained very poor.
05:58A serious crime wave began, and Atlanta became the murder capital of the United States.
06:06Every year there were more than 240 homicides per year.
06:10It was like working on a murder assembly line.
06:17It was on July 28, 1979, on Esquilite Road.
06:22Someone was searching for aluminum cans on that deserted stretch of road south of Atlanta.
06:40And he found the remains of a decomposing body.
06:44We searched the scene.
06:54Someone suggested we do a concentric search.
06:57And we ended up spreading out.
07:00Within minutes, they found another body.
07:02To me, they appeared to be black teenagers or boys.
07:11One of the boys was shot in the upper back.
07:14The other one was strangled.
07:16The bodies were identified as those of 14-year-old Edward Smith,
07:20and Alfred Evans, 13 years old.
07:22The likelihood was that the bodies had been dumped there.
07:28But no one imagined that they had been abandoned by the same person.
07:36And in those cases, they weren't front-page news.
07:41The police had no leads.
07:43In the following three months, two other boys,
07:48Milton Harvey, 14, and Youssef Bell, 9,
07:52They disappeared while doing odd jobs.
07:54Milton's body was found 19 kilometers from where he disappeared.
07:58The cause of death is unknown.
08:01Youssef was found strangled in an abandoned school.
08:04But what was strange about the discovery of Youssef's body was that his feet appeared to have been washed.
08:17So, many people thought that someone might have kidnapped the children.
08:23for some kind of strange ritualistic religious ceremony.
08:34It's incredible how it's been 40 years already and it still feels like it was yesterday.
08:45Because the pain is still the same.
08:48Nothing relieved the pain.
08:52I thought that, over time, it would decrease, but it didn't.
08:57I cry as much today as I did the day it happened.
09:04My daughter Angel was very different.
09:13He was unlike any child I had ever known.
09:16When I had her, they said,
09:18Your daughter is the only baby in the nursery who doesn't cry.
09:22She is an angel.
09:23You need to name her Angel.
09:25I wasn't worried about Angel.
09:26She was all grown up.
09:36I was 12 years old.
09:39Everything was going well until she started to seem sad.
09:45I asked what the problem was.
09:47And she said,
09:48Oh, it's nothing.
09:50My son spoke.
09:51I'll tell you, Mom.
09:52She dreamed that something bad is going to happen.
09:56And you won't be able to do anything about it.
09:59I started to cry.
10:01Angel, is someone threatening you?
10:03She said,
10:04Leave it alone, Mom, please.
10:06But on March 4, 1980,
10:15Angel was late returning home.
10:18It was almost 6 pm.
10:20And she still hadn't arrived home from school.
10:22I thought,
10:23What is happening?
10:25Something is wrong.
10:27Angel is not like that.
10:28I always know where she is.
10:30I knew something was very wrong.
10:32So I called the police.
10:36I was saying,
10:40Someone took it.
10:42I didn't sleep at all.
10:43And we walked so much.
10:45My ankles became sore and swollen.
10:51Six days have passed.
10:52I just cried, screamed, and yelled.
10:56I couldn't sleep.
10:58Then there was a knock on my door.
10:59It's worse than anything.
11:05That a mother could never imagine.
11:07A neighbor told Venus
11:09that the daughter's body
11:10He was found tied to a tree.
11:12and was taken to the morgue.
11:14I hugged her body and said,
11:21What did they do to you?
11:23What did they do to you?
11:25There were lacerations around her neck.
11:29The brands.
11:30As if they had put a rope there.
11:32around her neck.
11:34I could only imagine.
11:35What kind of torture did she suffer?
11:43And I couldn't take it anymore.
11:45I couldn't take it anymore.
11:46I couldn't take it anymore.
11:47I miss you so much.
12:05I miss you so much.
12:06As if it were yesterday.
12:11God.
12:13I miss it so much.
12:14I couldn't understand why.
12:18Why my daughter
12:19among so many children.
12:20Why?
12:21That's when I found out.
12:23My daughter wasn't the only one.
12:36Nobody cared.
12:37with those black children.
12:39And this continues to this day.
12:41There have been recent incidents.
12:43in the city of Washington
12:44then in Chicago, Illinois
12:46of young black people
12:48that disappeared
12:50were murdered
12:51And we still don't know.
12:52what happened
12:53in many of these cases.
12:55And it doesn't become national news.
12:57I don't think we've made that much progress.
12:59even though it has passed
13:0040 years
13:02to the point of value
13:03of black lives
13:05of a certain status
13:06to be bigger today
13:08than it was 40 years ago.
13:09The police are still investigating.
13:16homicides
13:16at least
13:17four more young people
13:18all missing
13:19All found dead.
13:21The death of Angel Linner
13:23It went unnoticed in the media.
13:25She was the fifth child.
13:26up to 14 years old
13:27disappearing
13:28and be found dead
13:29over the last seven months.
13:30Up to that moment
13:32I don't believe
13:33that there has been
13:34a case
13:34of a child
13:35who ran away from home
13:36or that had disappeared
13:38which was not resolved.
13:41Suddenly
13:41they were
13:42appearing dead.
13:45The police denied it.
13:46that the cases
13:47of missing children
13:48and the homicides
13:49were connected.
13:50There are similarities.
13:51in some
13:52of the deaths
13:53in fact
13:53of being boys
13:55and girls
13:55young people
13:56and black people.
13:56But some
13:58like the investigators
13:59of homicides
14:00Bob Buffington
14:01and Danny Agan
14:02They started questioning that.
14:04We had what was called
14:06From a book about homicides.
14:08It was just a paragraph.
14:09about each victim.
14:12And we began to see
14:14more children
14:15being killed
14:17and abandoned.
14:19That wasn't right.
14:21We never had
14:22Nothing alike.
14:24I found out that there was
14:25a significant difference
14:26between two years
14:29previous
14:30and that year.
14:32So I wrote
14:33a letter
14:34and I sent
14:35For the major.
14:37Later
14:37I saw the major
14:38in the hallway
14:39and he said
14:41do you like
14:42to work
14:43With homicides?
14:43I said yes sir.
14:44He said
14:45wants to go to the shift
14:46morning
14:46working with theft
14:47Vehicles?
14:49If I see
14:49another one of those letters
14:50That's what's going to happen.
14:53He didn't want to.
14:54hear about
14:55in homicides
14:56in series
14:57in Atlanta.
15:02There was a lot of discussion.
15:04about who could
15:05to be murdering
15:06those black children.
15:07The parents of the victims
15:08they charged the commissioner
15:10Lebron
15:10an investigation
15:11comprehensive list of crimes.
15:13But the deaths
15:14they weren't yet
15:14viewed as related.
15:17And the rumors
15:17continued to increase
15:19in the streets.
15:20There were stories
15:21that the police
15:22were killing
15:23the children.
15:25It has to be the police.
15:26Who else could
15:27enter and exit
15:28of these communities
15:28without being stopped
15:29and do that kind of thing
15:31of a thing?
15:32Who could have done that?
15:33The Ku Klux Klan
15:34could be killing
15:35these black children
15:37because it was the only one
15:37She, among them all.
15:39As I was a black boy
15:40I lived in constant terror.
15:41I saw it with my
15:44own eyes
15:45the Ku Klux Klan
15:47marching in
15:48Old National Highway.
15:50I've always heard it said
15:51that Stone Mountain
15:53It was the headquarters of the KKK.
15:54You know what I mean?
15:55That's where they did it.
15:56all meetings
15:57And they burned crosses.
15:59You need to understand
16:01that Atlanta
16:02It is the headquarters of the Klan.
16:04then
16:05what better place
16:07to kidnap them
16:07than here in Atlanta
16:09in Georgia.
16:10if you're going to kidnap them
16:11Do it here.
16:15Oldest
16:16and more infamous
16:17racist group
16:18from the United States
16:18the Ku Klux Klan
16:20resurfaced in the years
16:211960
16:21to oppose
16:23to the movement
16:23for civil rights.
16:25When you analyze
16:25the 70s
16:26and the beginning of the 80s
16:28most homicides
16:29of civil rights
16:31from the previous decade
16:31it hadn't been
16:32solved.
16:36It still existed
16:36that air of terrorism
16:38I was braking well
16:40in memory
16:40of people
16:41there was a bias
16:43racial
16:44who believed
16:45to have been the Klan.
16:47There could be
16:48some members
16:49of the Ku Klux Klan.
16:52The racist group
16:53continued
16:54in the headlines
16:54terrifying
16:56the black community
16:57in Atlanta.
16:59We heard
17:00on the streets
17:01that probably
17:02It was the Ku Klux Klan.
17:03or some
17:04racist group
17:06or something like that
17:07that was
17:08behind
17:08of that.
17:10And the police
17:11from Atlanta
17:12It took
17:13a long time
17:14to begin
17:15to face
17:16that situation
17:17of deaths
17:19children.
17:19at the beginning
17:22May
17:22from 1980
17:23five children

17:29years
17:30he was

17:31months.
17:32The police
17:32did not arrest
17:33nobody
17:33I didn't even have
17:34suspects.
17:35I think that
17:36these cases
17:37They highlighted
17:38to despair
17:40to the type
17:41of society
17:41of two weights
17:43in which we lived
17:44why not
17:45they considered
17:46these lives
17:47so valuable.
17:50Some people
17:51they said
17:52that these children
17:53They were disposable.
17:54literally
17:55he knows
17:56kill them
17:57and throw them
17:58in the woods

18:54by phone
18:54I loved
18:55my brother
18:56He loved me.
18:56He wanted to see me.
18:58and from time to time
19:00I was listening
19:01what
19:02someone had been
19:03dead
19:04but
19:05I hadn't realized.
19:06that people
19:07what they said
19:08that they had
19:08died
19:09they were
19:09children.
19:18On May 19th
19:19from 1980
19:20shortly before
19:22from 7 am
19:23We received a call.
19:24of a vehicle
19:25of homicides
19:26Bob
19:26He was an investigator.
19:27boss.
19:27It was an alley.
19:31behind a place
19:32where were they located
19:33the trash cans
19:34That's where he
19:35had been
19:36spawned.
19:42The scene
19:43he was
19:43kind of strange
19:44because there was
19:45a bicycle
19:45with both tires
19:46holes
19:47and when
19:49we get closer
19:50we noticed
19:50coins
19:51near the bicycle
19:52coins
19:53of 1
19:545 and 10 cents
19:56and there was the body
20:01of a boy
20:02small
20:02he seemed
20:03a little
20:04messy
20:05he was
20:06lying down
20:07backwards
20:08could have
20:09fallen
20:10of the bicycle
20:11or
20:12to have been
20:13shot
20:14or something like that
20:15I had some
20:17injuries
20:17around the neck
20:18the boy
20:19he took
20:20three stab wounds
20:21superficial
20:22on the chest
20:23and an injury
20:25very significant
20:26in the head
20:27had been
20:29a robbery
20:30we don't
20:30idea
20:31of what happened
20:32when the
20:33investigators
20:34examined
20:35the victim
20:35the evidence
20:36found
20:37changed
20:37the course
20:38of the investigation
20:38what I
20:41I kept thinking
20:42he was
20:42that we had
20:44to accept
20:45that there was
20:45all those
20:46deaths
20:46and that
20:47could be
20:48a pattern
20:49could be
20:50a criminal
20:50in series
20:51other homicides
21:00of children
21:01black
21:01they stayed
21:02no solution
21:02but the police
21:03don't believe
21:04that it is
21:05related
21:06on May 18
21:07from 1980
21:08the investigators
21:09Bob Buffington
21:10and Danny Agan
21:11they analyzed
21:12the place
21:12of the homicide
21:13of a boy
21:1314 years old
21:14unidentified
21:15us
21:16we observed
21:17the body
21:18he was
21:21using
21:22tennis
21:22the tennis
21:24he had
21:25a sole
21:26rubber
21:27that was
21:28peeling
21:29letting go
21:30and there was
21:31a tuft
21:32fiber
21:33prisoner
21:34on the edge
21:35tennis
21:36what me
21:38it seemed
21:38that
21:39the body
21:40had been
21:41dragged
21:42on top
21:42from a rug
21:44or something
21:45like
21:46for sure
21:48the body
21:48had been
21:49moved
21:49and spawned
21:50there
21:51we analyzed
21:54all
21:55possibilities
21:55and me
21:57I thought
21:58that if
21:58we could
21:59track
21:59a thread
22:00hair
22:01we should
22:02achieve
22:03track
22:05a fiber
22:06they identified
22:08the boy
22:08through the school
22:09like Eric
22:10Middlebrooks
22:10and notified
22:11your father
22:12adoptive
22:12Robert Miller
22:13Robert Miller
22:17He called me.
22:18and said
22:18come here
22:20now
22:20I need
22:21talk to you
22:22good
22:23he doesn't
22:24used to
22:24call me
22:25for
22:26to speak
22:27about something
22:28some
22:29then
22:30I knew
22:31that had
22:31happened
22:32something
22:32with Eric
22:33I hit the
22:34door
22:35I entered
22:36and he said
22:36look
22:37I don't know
22:37how to tell you
22:38but Eric
22:38He was killed.
22:39last night
22:40I froze.
22:42I looked
22:44to the door
22:45because I don't
22:45you knew
22:46how to accept
22:47what did it have
22:48heard
22:48and
22:48we work
22:5531 hours
22:56direct
22:56in that first
22:57day
22:58we don't stop
22:58for nothing
22:59just to eat
23:00sometimes
23:01the only thing
23:02that we discovered
23:03in the neighborhood
23:04It was that Eric
23:05and several others
23:07little boys
23:07with bicycles
23:08they received money
23:10to perform services
23:11for other people
23:13how to go to the market
23:14they received
23:16tips
23:17And they did that.
23:19until late
23:20up to 11
23:21midnight
23:22why someone
23:26I would do that.
23:27with a child
23:28It was new.
23:29for us
23:30few children
23:32had been killed
23:33in Atlanta
23:34and most
23:35in domestic cases
23:37we begin
23:38with the hair
23:38that was all
23:39that we had
23:40in 1980
23:43blood samples
23:44they were not conclusive
23:46hair samples
23:47and fiber
23:48they were not conclusive
23:49but it was proof
23:50and needed to be processed
23:52and handled
23:52how important
23:53because there was no
23:54nothing more
23:55to be used
23:56Bob went
23:58He was very clever.
23:59in recognizing this
24:01and collect the fiber
24:02Buffington and Egan
24:04They took the sample.
24:05fiber
24:05all the way to the crime lab
24:06from the department
24:07investigation
24:08from Georgia
24:08and they delivered
24:09to the microanalyst
24:10Larry Peterson
24:1124 years old
24:12he said
24:13what did you think
24:13that could
24:14to work with that
24:15That's what I call
24:19tuft
24:20a set of fibers
24:21that they share
24:22characteristics
24:23similar
24:24and the fact
24:24of being on the sole
24:25tennis
24:26for me
24:26It was very important.
24:28because it indicated
24:29which was a transfer
24:30recent
24:31from somewhere
24:32where had he been
24:33a short time ago
24:34Buffington
24:36recognized
24:37the value
24:38of the fibers
24:39which it was not
24:40common
24:41to happen
24:41from thin threads
24:44Peterson
24:45worked
24:45to find
24:46connections
24:46and catch the killer
24:47but in a few weeks
24:51another child
24:52would disappear
24:53was safe
24:57it was not known
24:59of cases
24:59of violence
25:00in that neighborhood
25:02Serlina Cobb
25:04She lived with her three children.
25:05at parents' house
25:06in Dakota
25:06near Atlanta
25:07Christopher Richardson
25:1112 years old
25:12He was his middle child.
25:13He was a shy boy.
25:16my three children
25:18they used to swim
25:20at the public swimming pool
25:22on June 9th
25:26from 1980
25:27the three boys
25:28they decided
25:28that it was a good day
25:29to go to the pool
25:30that morning
25:31Chris wore
25:32a good shirt
25:33Sunday's shirt
25:35and I told him
25:37Oh, you're not going with her.
25:38He sulked.
25:41but I said
25:41that he wasn't going to use
25:42no way
25:43and there was no conversation
25:46while Chris was arguing
25:51because of the shirt
25:52the brothers were
25:53for the pool
25:54without him
25:54until Serlina
25:57He eventually gave in.
25:58and finally
26:00I ended up leaving
26:01that he would use
26:02this shirt
26:02I don't know why
26:04he insisted
26:05both in using
26:06that outfit
26:08she sent him
26:10for the pool
26:10a few blocks away
26:11from there
26:12and went to work
26:13when I returned
26:17of work
26:18I asked
26:19Where's Chris?
26:20they said
26:21who didn't know
26:22I failed.
26:24They better find him.
26:25and I kept going up
26:28and going down the street
26:29asking
26:30if anyone had seen
26:31Chris
26:32the lady who lived
26:34next to my house
26:35said he saw him
26:37and greeted him
26:38And he kept walking.
26:40It simply disappeared.
26:44whoever it was
26:48I had already caught it.
26:49Chris
26:50I am trying
26:52Don't worry
26:53but whenever I see
26:54a news story
26:55I get upset.
26:56and I start to cry
27:00I find it strange.
27:03that someone takes
27:04the son
27:05from another person
27:06in the street
27:07and take him
27:08somewhere
27:09to
27:09kill him
27:11or do something
27:12another thing
27:12with him
27:13no clues
27:17the police interrogated
27:18all relatives
27:19It was awful.
27:22why
27:22They weren't looking for him.
27:24as I thought
27:25that they should look for
27:26the days
27:29they transformed
27:30in weeks
27:30no sign of Chris
27:32pain and anxiety
27:33They were too big.
27:34I watched
27:36to the news
27:36every night
27:38See if I can figure it out.
27:39something
27:40It was a time
27:41horrible
27:42but at the end of June
27:47one of the worst
27:49kidnappings
27:49until then
27:50would lead to homicides
27:51children
27:51for the first few pages
27:53I just want them to find it.
27:55my little daughter
27:56safe and sound
27:56and bring her
27:57home
27:58I miss her.
28:00I love her
28:00I love her
28:02in June 1980
28:10Latonya Wilson
28:116 years old
28:12she was kidnapped
28:13from his room
28:14someone broke in
28:15their apartment
28:16chose Latonya
28:17he grabbed it
28:18and left
28:18the other children
28:20I was thinking
28:21How is it possible?
28:22how does someone
28:23enter and
28:24pick up a girl
28:25and nobody sees
28:27I stayed
28:28all the time
28:29worried
28:29all day
28:31I was thinking
28:31what is happening
28:33at the end of June
28:38from 1980
28:3910 black children
28:41They had disappeared
28:42since July
28:42from the previous year
28:437 bodies
28:45were found
28:463 continued
28:473 continued
28:48missing
28:49we know that all
28:51the children
28:51They are black.
28:52and we know that all
28:54They come from neighborhoods
28:55low income
28:57the police commissioner
28:59Lee Brown
29:00he declared that those things
29:02were happening
29:04but they weren't necessarily uncommon
29:07and for sure
29:08they were not related
29:10the question was
29:11if there was anything else
29:14different
29:15happening in Atlanta
29:17for black communities
29:19of the city
29:20and the parents of the victims
29:21There was clearly a pattern.
29:22and they were
29:23getting angry
29:24they always do
29:26drug seizure
29:27or solve
29:29assault
29:30but they don't find out
29:31who is killing
29:32the children
29:33the story
29:35attracted more attention
29:37after training
29:38from the committee
29:40to end
29:40with the homicides
29:41children
29:42by 3 mothers
29:43whose children
29:44were murdered
29:45Venus Taylor
29:47William A. Matt
29:48and Camille Bell
29:50and the feeling
29:52alarm
29:54and the efforts
29:57organization
29:58of them
29:58They caught our attention.
30:00from the press
30:00Because nobody knows.
30:01nothing about
30:02these children
30:03because they are children
30:04low income
30:05and the people
30:06push
30:07under the rug
30:08Why do they do that?
30:10why?
30:10because they were poor
30:11because in reality
30:12They had no parents.
30:13who had money
30:14when you have money
30:16You can speak louder.
30:17you can make people
30:19pay attention
30:20can make people
30:21care more
30:22but the children
30:25from Atlanta
30:26They continued to disappear.
30:27They had 72 buildings.
30:29in Harris Homes
30:30everything we see here
30:31It's brand new.
30:32everything happened
30:34right on that street
30:35It was there
30:36that he disappeared
30:37in July
30:38and
30:39We never saw them again.
30:41Jimmy Edwards
30:43I was 14 years old.
30:44when your cousin
30:449 years old
30:45Anthony Carter
30:46moved to the same street
30:47that he
30:48in the housing complex
30:49Harris Homes
30:50my grandmother
30:52Anthony created it.
30:53but let him
30:55came to Atlanta
30:57to stay with his mother
30:58my aunt Vera
31:00Anthony was an only child.
31:02he was a person
31:05who could you count on?
31:07because he learned
31:09with my grandmother
31:10always doing things for others
31:12what would you like
31:13that they would do for him
31:14what we did
31:18every day
31:19It was just a game.
31:19hide-and-seek
31:20Anthony
31:23it was
31:23We loved him.
31:25when children
31:30they started to disappear
31:31we continued
31:32playing hide-and-seek
31:34but always in a group
31:35like wolves
31:36always together
31:37my aunt
31:45there was a rule
31:46if you don't come back
31:47home
31:47until 6
31:48it's better to have
31:49a good excuse
31:50then
31:51if Anthony
31:51kept playing
31:53after 6 pm
31:54He wasn't coming back.
31:56home
31:56because if he came back
31:57he knew
31:58what was going to happen
31:59my mother
32:00it was more peaceful
32:01she didn't like it
32:02to hit no child
32:04I didn't like it.
32:04to scold
32:05and wouldn't let
32:06him leaving
32:07He stayed at my house.
32:08was having dinner
32:09and only the next day
32:11She let him go home.
32:13my aunt Vera
32:14It was no joke.
32:15it really wasn't
32:15when she said something
32:17It was serious.
32:17She was like that.
32:18That was just how she was.
32:19She loved us.
32:21but he also scolded
32:22when I needed
32:23and when she said something
32:25It was for real.
32:25July 6, 1980
32:27we were
32:30about 40 children
32:31I will never forget.
32:34he began to count
32:35And everyone ran away.
32:37Anthony
32:41He went around the building.
32:42Only 39 returned.
32:56one was missing
32:58we counted
32:59everyone was there
33:00except Anthony
33:01Jimmy noticed something.
33:03just before the game
33:04which haunts him to this day
33:06I saw something
33:09what
33:10It intrigued me.
33:11They asked me.
33:12and I told
33:13that I had seen a man
33:15going up the street
33:16And then I didn't see him anymore.
33:19and then when
33:20he disappeared
33:22Anthony disappeared
33:24I said
33:25He was the cotton candy man.
33:27Where did he go?
33:29I didn't know
33:29that fire hydrant over there
33:32It was right at the entrance.
33:34of the park
33:35and the man
33:36He sold cotton candy.
33:37trapped in a piece
33:38long piece of wood
33:39He was walking up the street.
33:41turned
33:42and then
33:43He used to pass by here.
33:45and
33:45that one
33:46it was
33:47a man
33:48peculiar
33:49that's why
33:50I paid attention to him.
33:51because when someone
33:52entered the community
33:53we knew
33:53and there
33:55Aunt Vera
33:56he appeared
33:56and asked
33:57by Anthony
33:58I said that he had
33:59having gone around the building
34:00and disappeared
34:00and then my aunt
34:01and the boyfriend
34:02and everyone
34:03He started looking for him.
34:04and when he didn't come back
34:05the next day
34:06we knew
34:07something was wrong
34:08the next day
34:10the body of a black boy
34:12was found
34:13one and a half kilometers
34:14from there
34:14another boy
34:16He was found dead.
34:17on that lawn
34:18behind a building
34:19on Well Street
34:20in the southwest
34:21the investigators
34:24they said
34:25maybe
34:25I couldn't
34:26identify it
34:27because the body
34:28It was awful.
34:29he was
34:31ugly
34:32It was very ugly.
34:33but
34:34I looked and said
34:36it is him
34:36It's Anthony Barnardo Carter.
34:38Anthony
34:40He had been stabbed.
34:41on the back
34:42and on the chest
34:42that one
34:46It ended with my aunt.
34:47She didn't want to eat anymore.
34:48in truth
34:49my aunt
34:50I didn't even want it anymore.
34:51The art of living
34:52because she had lost
34:54the only son
34:55the son she loved
34:56very much and that he was worried
34:58I wondered
35:00several times
35:01why
35:02I wondered
35:04what happened
35:05Who would do that?
35:07with our boy
35:08eight months later
35:10Timothy Hill
35:10and Jojo Bell
35:11Anthony's friends
35:12from the neighborhood
35:13they would disappear
35:14and they would be found
35:15dead
35:16we were
35:17very scared
35:18why
35:19We didn't know.
35:20who would be next
35:21who is doing this
35:24who is doing this
35:25on July 17th
35:33under pressure from the community
35:34Commissioner Lee Brown
35:36announced the formation
35:37of a task force
35:38to concentrate
35:39efforts
35:40investigation
35:40we are doing
35:43everything that is
35:44humanly possible
35:45to investigate
35:46those
35:47cases
35:48with our children
35:49I don't know if they
35:50they thought about it at the beginning
35:52that there was a connection
35:53among the homicides
35:54but the concern
35:55grew
35:56and now
35:56it reached a point
35:58in which they could not
35:59ignore
36:00when people
36:01They said they had
36:02what to do
36:02we want to blame
36:06the police
36:06by the form
36:07how did they proceed
36:08but
36:08I don't think so.
36:09What can we say?
36:10that there was a pattern
36:11until you're sure
36:12that there was
36:12you don't scream
36:14lobe
36:14until you're sure
36:16that the wolf
36:16It's over there.
36:17the police
36:18I needed to decide
36:19which cases
36:20I was going to include
36:20in your investigation
36:21they created a list
36:23of all homicides
36:24apparently related
36:25and the list
36:26it was long
36:28the list
36:28It always has been
36:29problematic
36:30because there was no
36:31a strict rule
36:32and clear
36:34to know
36:35what children
36:36include
36:36and could
36:38depend
36:38of the protests
36:40of the parents
36:41could be
36:42out of concern
36:44of the mayor
36:45could be
36:46by certain
36:47real facts
36:48the total
36:50That was enough.
36:50eight dead
36:51and three
36:52still missing
36:53in two months
36:55following
36:56three more
36:56black boys
36:57they would disappear
36:58among the missing
37:00he was
37:01Clifford Jones
37:0213 years old
37:03who was visiting
37:03Grandma
37:04He was found.
37:06dead
37:06after disappearing
37:07while collecting
37:08cans with cousins
37:09Clifford Jones
37:1113 years old
37:11was found
37:12dead
37:13next to
37:13from a trash can
37:13apparently
37:14He was strangled.
37:15the position of the body
37:17seemed to indicate
37:18that he had been
37:19removed
37:20of a car
37:21or from a van
37:22and left there
37:23the body offered
37:24interesting clues
37:26Jones
37:27was found
37:28fully dressed
37:29but the short
37:30and the tennis
37:30They were not his.
37:31and he was
37:32without underwear
37:33and how it happened
37:36with Eric Middlebrooks
37:37before him
37:37there were fibers
37:38very evident
37:39I was on duty.
37:42and I examined
37:43the body
37:43by Clifford Jones
37:45I noticed fibers
37:46beige carpet
37:47in his skin
37:48in the hair
37:49in clothes
37:50They were quite loose.
37:51and there were many
37:52more than 20 fibers
37:54if they were
37:55transported
37:56to the location
37:57where they were found
37:58were being taken
37:59in some kind
37:59vehicle
38:00potentially coming
38:01from a place
38:02that could be
38:03the same
38:04since there were fibers
38:05similar
38:06by the
38:06or any type
38:07trace
38:08of this environment
38:09and that could
38:10make the connection
38:11among various cases
38:13if the fibers
38:15of several
38:15victims
38:16coincided
38:17they could call
38:17homicides
38:18that would be the first
38:19tangible proof
38:20of existence
38:21of a single assassin
38:22when the force
38:23The task was formed.
38:24the big question
38:25it was
38:25if the cases
38:26were related
38:27there was a person
38:28in common
38:28or several
38:29responsible
38:30because of the deaths
38:31while Larry Peterson
38:42I was trying to identify
38:43similarities
38:44in the samples
38:45fiber
38:45of the victims
38:46the commissioner
38:47security
38:48Atlanta public
38:49Lee Brown
38:49He asked for help.
38:50to the FBI
38:51but we don't
38:53we could help
38:54because it was a
38:55investigation
38:55local homicide
38:56and the FBI
38:57has no jurisdiction
38:58in cases
38:59of local homicides
39:01instead
39:02the FBI
39:03offered support
39:04from the newly formed
39:05science unit
39:06behavioral
39:07the science unit
39:09behavioral
39:10it was formed
39:11by psychologists
39:12who analyzed
39:13the criminal profile
39:14in such a way
39:14that they transformed
39:16this science
39:17in art
39:17John Douglas
39:19and Roy Hazelwood
39:21They did that.
39:22they created
39:23a profile
39:23the person
39:24who was involved
39:25he was a guy
39:27that I liked
39:28to chase ambulances
39:30and knew very well
39:32the news media
39:35was someone
39:36who had an interest
39:38unusual
39:38in police activity
39:40maybe even monitored
39:42the police radios
39:44this person
39:45probably
39:46He was very intelligent.
39:47and he was an only child
39:49one of the statements
39:51most surprising
39:52from the profile
39:53It was about race.
39:54of the killer
39:55Roy Hazelwood
39:58I thought we were
39:59looking for someone
40:00that he was black
40:01invisible
40:01in the black community
40:03who is invisible
40:04in the black community
40:05otherwise another black man
40:06but the department
40:08police
40:08from Atlanta
40:09said no
40:09they said
40:11who commits
40:12this type of crime
40:13if we study
40:15the story
40:15of the murderers
40:16in series
40:17normally
40:17They are white men.
40:19but not necessarily
40:21because even
40:22before that
40:22if we analyze
40:23in a way
40:24wide
40:24in the United States
40:26There were homicides.
40:27zebra
40:28in San Francisco
40:30and the criminals
40:33They were black
40:34the idea
40:35of what murders
40:36in series
40:37are conducted
40:38for men only
40:39white
40:40it is not based
40:42in fact
40:43while the investigators
40:46they fought
40:47to find
40:47a suspect
40:48the count
40:49of bodies
40:49It continued to increase.
40:51Charles Stevens
40:5312 years old
40:53This is the latest victim.
40:55discovery
40:55Friday
40:56near a
40:56parking
40:57of trailers
40:58for every homicide
41:00Frustration grew.
41:02from the public
41:02and the authorities
41:03on one hand
41:06we had
41:07probably
41:08one of
41:09most important
41:10investigations
41:11criminals
41:12from that time
41:13in the United States
41:15on the other hand
41:16the main
41:17police agency
41:18of the country
41:19I didn't work
41:21in that
41:22that seemed
41:24to be a problem
41:24criminal
41:25very serious
41:26I wouldn't accept it.
41:27that one
41:27but I couldn't
41:28do nothing
41:29regarding
41:29at least
41:33four of the victims
41:34were killed
41:35by strangulation
41:36three by others
41:37means
41:37shot
41:38stab
41:38and trauma
41:39by brute force
41:40the rest
41:41it was not determined
41:42for the police
41:43from Atlanta
41:44there was
41:44a signature
41:45clear
41:45we can say
41:48for sure
41:50that does not exist
41:51only one person
41:52responsible
41:53by the
41:54cases involving
41:55the children
41:56missing
41:56in our city
41:57at some point
41:59the whole notion
42:00order
42:01he turned his head
42:02down
42:02the police
42:03should be able to
42:04protect
42:05and solve
42:06any crime
42:07the mayor
42:08Maynard Jackson
42:09offered a reward
42:10$100,000
42:11in cash
42:12for information
42:12that they would take
42:13prison
42:13and conviction
42:14of the murderers
42:15somebody
42:16somewhere
42:18he knows
42:18what are we looking for?
42:21Do you know who's doing it?
42:22this series
42:24insane
42:25of crimes
42:26that
42:28attracted
42:29all kinds
42:29of hunters
42:30of rewards
42:31and of investigators
42:33with dogs
42:34even a medium
42:37she was called
42:38all of that
42:40It was ridiculous.
42:41It looked like a flock.
42:42of clowns
42:43and me
42:44I lost confidence.
42:46in capacity
42:49of the police
42:50of
42:50he knows
42:52solve this
42:54the city
42:57It turned into a circus.
42:58a circus
42:59very volatile
43:00the people wanted
43:01that it would end
43:02They wanted someone
43:03prisoner
43:04and convicted
43:04and
43:05we can't
43:07do this
43:07but
43:10nothing
43:11did
43:11to stop
43:12the emergence
43:13of bodies
43:13customized
43:14which increased
43:15the pressure
43:15about the authorities
43:16the people
43:17I was restless
