Episode -S2-22 The Atlanta Ripper of 1911

Most know of Jack the Ripper of London, Son of Sam, and Ted Bundy.

But many are not aware of the terror of the so called “Atlanta Ripper” who started his notoriety in 1911 in the City of Atlanta.

Wayne Williams is now serving a life sentence after being convicted for two of the murders. His conviction came in an Atlanta that had changed drastically since the Ripper murders of 1911 and 1912.  Although even today, 20 years after Williams' conviction, some doubts linger that he was the true serial killer or one of several killers.
