The years between 1979 and 1981 were some of the most terrifying years for the residents of Atlanta, Georgia. Young African American children were being stolen from the streets in broad daylight, killed, and disposed of far from home. Once a pattern was found, the police and investigators looked into the case and the evidence eventually led to Wayne Williams. Williams still to this day claims that he is innocent, but the evidence says otherwise. After looking at fiber evidence, DNA evidence, and eye witness accounts, it is obvious that Williams is guilty.

The carpet that the fiber came from was actually an extremely rare carpet, as only a small amount of it had ever been made; this carpet was found in Wayne Williams’ home and in his bedroom.

The leather jacket the fiber came from was in his closet, the dog hair matched with his pet dog, and the human hair has a possibility of belonging to Wayne Williams. Although DNA experts cannot prove that the hair came from him, it ruled out 98% of the population, and Williams was in that 2% that it could belong to. Clearly, from all of this evidence, it seems impossible for all of this to be just a coincidence; there are too many fibers from too many different objects that Williams owns. Williams left his fiber evidence all over not one, but most of the 29 victims, which clearly shows that Williams is
