Wayne Williams

Just because Google says Leonard Christopher is a serial killer, he's not, and we need to get that out in the ethos.

I feel the same way about Wayne Williams.

I think we talked about that, too.

I wrestled with doing an episode about Wayne Williams because he didn't do anything prolific.

The media and the law just positioned the narrative to make the allegations stick to this man like fag, when the fact is he was never charged or convicted of killing a child, the first.

But history will always remember him as the prolific killer of the Atlanta child murders.

No frontal nudity.

Um, you know who Wayne Williams is?

No. No.

The Atlanta serial killer who was killing children?

Oh, sure.

No.

Right, right, it was Wayne Williams? Yeah.

That's what he would do.

I think that happens in a lot of like, we were just talking about that.

It was like Ted Bundy, these guys that they're just really eloquent and they're able to talk themselves out of these situations with, you know, um, Wayne Williams, you know, talking to the police, but just really eloquent and not, not, you know, sweating or, you know, being uncomfortable in front of police.

And these men also, they train themselves to talk about specific things.

So Clifford Olson learned to talk to police through years of incarceration.

He couldn't argue, he's not going to write a dissertation in college.

He was very specific.

And if you think of Wayne Williams, He was very good at the con of selling himself as something greater than he was, recruiting young boys to come with him and saying, I'm going to make you a superstar.

I'm a producer.

Looking out at the bridge, officers spotted a Watt station wagon speeding off and they quickly gave chase.

Pulling it over not far up the road, the officers got out and approached the driver's side window where a 23-year-old man named Wayne Williams rolled down the window to greet them.

Now at first glance, Wayne seemed like a typical young man.

He worked as a freelance photographer and stated he was also a music producer.

The final victim of the Atlanta child murders would be 27-year-old Nathaniel Carter.

He was last seen earlier the previous night standing outside of the Rialto Theater in downtown Atlanta.

walking down the street and holding hands with another man who matched the description of Wayne Williams.

He would be the 30th and final

And then- Oh, we gotta at least get stats ...

Wayne Williams.

Wayne Williams.

These sound like these are...

Uh, how long old is this?

True.

Even Wayne Williams, the darkest serial killer we've ever had-

Yeah

...

Never.

Wayne Williams.

And even the evidence didn't look like he did.

No.

And all they had was one little splash.

But come on.

But Wayne Williams, I think.

Yes.
