Welcome to Season 4, Episode 11.

We’re back in murder land.

We’re digging into one of the most heartbreaking and controversial chapters in true crime history: The Atlanta Child Murders.

We’re looking at the victims the world almost forgot and the man the system was desperate to pin it on - Wayne Williams. Was he a prolific predator, or a convenient scapegoat for a city on the brink of a race war? We’re peeling back the layers of a botched investigation, the FBI’s involvement, and why these cases are still being talked about decades later.

The poison for this episode is the Strawberry Lemon Drop.

• 2 oz Vodka
• 1 oz Freshly squeezed lemon juice
• ¾ oz Simple syrup
• 2-3 Large, ripe strawberries 
• Splash of Cointreau or Triple Sec
• Sugar for the rim

Muddle two or three fresh strawberries in a shaker until pulverized, then add premium vodka, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and a splash of Cointreau with plenty of ice. Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15 seconds to ensure it’s ice-cold, then double-strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a sugar (salt or both)-rimmed martini glass.

Enjoy!
