I first saw this mini series about the Atlanta Child Murders in the 80s when I was a teenager and it scared the hell out of me as well as making me fascinated with the case. I've been trying to find a copy the watch it again for years but no DVD seems to exist. I finally tracked down a copy and thought I'd share we everyone as I'm there are others who have been trying to find it. Worth watching for the great cast alone, including Morgan Freeman, Martin Sheen, James Earl Jones, Jason Robards, Rip Torn, Bill Paxton. - Hudba
Thank you so much for uploading this!! I was scared to death as a child by this movie, but could only remember bits and pieces.....My heart started racing when the two boys were chased and the killers gloved hand was trying to grab them. Thanks again for the upload:)
Wow, what a cast! So glad I found this miniseries. Tragic.😫
Melanie O'Hara It’s interesting that sheen movies to TV after coming off big ‘70s hits like Apocalypse Now, and Freeman made it big in films during the ‘80s and continues to this day. Love them both!
Thanks for putting this on youtube!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for uploading this - I saw this on TV when I was 12yrs old (27 yrs ago), I've never forgot it, scared the hell out of me at the time and been looking out for it for years.
it scared me also and,its been years,i would like for my kids to see,just so they will see that there are people out there who will hurt children and thats why im so strict about where they go....
Iktr me too I was like that with my daughter n now with her son.I dnt trust folks.
A movie classic I was 12 when this movie came out and we were scared to go outside truly a scary moment at that time my mom stopped us from going to the corner store 🏬 for her and always to walk with a crowd of people never by ourself
One of the worst and sickest kind of Serial Killers are those who "kill for thrill/pleasure",killing a person/child,only by "opportunity",totally without motives behind their reason to kill.They are themost challenging murderers to catch. Like the Highway`s Trucker-Killers,that kidnap the victim in one state,torture/kill in a 2nd state,and dump the then "unknown" victim in a 3rd state. How can ANY family,or Police officer live with such knowledge,when victims finally are DNA-matched,16yrs after?
Scary opening song. 😔
Was looking for this movie for years
I remember this case well, it had the whole country on edge.
Here is what NO ONE can dispute, from the DAY, Wayne Williams was taken into custody, NOT ONE MORE CHILD MURDER that came anywhere near the frequency, geographic location and modality of the Atlanta Child Murders has occurred, NOT ONE.
The real killer could of quit while ahead and let someone else take the blame or could of died suddenly while the trial was going on its a possibiliy.A man called ed edwards is a suspect look him up.
I have to disagree with you, sir. Other murders did occur AFTER Wayne was arrested. The situation is that two weeks after Wayne was arrested, the Official Police Task Force was dismantled. At least 4 additional murders took place, but the police stopped counting, and the media stopped reporting on the murders.
In actuality, the murders of young kids stopped BEFORE Wayne was arrested. The victims on the List kept getting older, and finally, Wayne was arrested and convicted for killing 2 adult men (who were convicted felons and hustlers)
Some of victims knew each other and likely knew their killers
@@rucianapollard7098 your always gonna have child,adult murders doesn't make wayne williams innocent
@@rucianapollard7098 Their was probably two murderers wayne killed the kids and the other guy killed adults..
@@hestonallette8794I thought the same thing,that Wayne could've been a fall guy.My uncles didn't believe that Wayne was guilty,they thought they he was a fall guy.I visited Georgia a lot in the 80's this was a devastating case.
I have an unusually good episodic memory of my early childhood and many of my childhood experiences. My father, Steve Taylor, was a disc jockey on Z-93 in the C&S bank building from 1978-1980. My parents and I lived in an apartment complex called Hillsborough. I was three and a half years old, and I was playing in my bedroom and looking through my toy box when I saw a very young black man with an afro and metal glasses wearing a peach colored polyesther shirt with a design on it unbuttoned down to the third button looking through my bedroom window staring at me. I started to feel frightened by the sight of this stranger looking at me, but before I had a chance to call for my mother down the hallway, the man started waving his hands, as if to say, wait wait!, and then put his index finger to his lips, as he wanted me to be quiet. Worried, in my childlike mind, I returned to my toy box, trying to ignore him, but he continued to watch me through the window for at least five or six minutes before he finally disappeared. Oddly enough, he appeared very happy, smiling almost to the point of laughter, and he didn't seem to have any concern or worry about what he was doing at that moment.
I am white, but I am absolutely certain, without any doubt whatsoever, that the young man who was peeping into my window in our basement apartment was Wayne Williams. In hindsight, I think that he had heard my father on Z-93 and he found out where he lived because Williams was interested in radio at the time. I just happened to be in the room he looked into at that moment. I had no idea who Williams was until many years later while reading about him in a newspaper, and I instantly knew that he was the same man whom I had seen years earlier.
That is so scary.
You were a lucky young girl. God bless you and you’re family.
I used too be scared too watch this when I was young.
Timothy Mcdonald 😂😂😂me too, I JUST told my daughter this movie terrified me
Its still eerie
Everybody was
Me too. Just watching at 42 yrs old.
I’m still terrified of this story.
I have just finished watching this movie all 3 parts. I have got my granddaughter to watch it in my neighbor there is child molesters live in the neighborhood. I don't leave her go outside unless there is a adult to watch our little Angels. My granddaughter knows why I don't want her to go outside by herself. My heart goes out for the families and their love one's. I have never heard of this movie. R. I. P. Little Angels and the adults.
I'd be terrified if I knew predators were living near me and my family! May God protect your children! Do the police know?
Part 2 doesn't fully start until 11.45
this was a mini series so it recapped and the person put in the recaps
Thank you dear.
Was just about to skip!
Thank you so much for that and God bless.
This should be pinned
Rip angels
The parents being accused breaks my heart. They are going through enough without being accused of murdering their own children. Did they not realize that every black family wasn’t murdering their own children?
Tell you the truth, parents should protect their children at all times.murders in the street and media means something is going on.
Actually, that is police work 101. Check the family and friends first. In addition, atleast one of those male children was likely killed by his mother or a friend of hers and the girl taken from her home while her family slept was an inside job too.
No he did not
Wayne did it
unfortunately, there were more murders, they just weren't reported.
If they weren't reported, how do you know they happened? What were the names of the people who were murdered but weren't reported?
@@dn3a591 ,I use to hear the same thing all the time. But never any proof of this at all. I think it's just conspiracies to cast doubt that someone else did it.
FACTS..I am an Atlanta native born and raised. I was a preteen when this happened. ✌
question is do you know where YOUR CHILD IS ?
I don't get it why in the H would ppl let their kids walk to the store alone.Its 2018 now an I wish I would let my gb walk to school a store or wherever that's just crazy.I remember the story too I was 10 when this went on I'm 43 now it's crazy back than they was off the hook so I dk if this Wayne did it now forensic wasnt good back than now it will clear him if he really didnt do it.
Back in the day there was a public service announcement asking that very question, " It's 10:00, so you know where your children are ?"
This is so sad
Why on earth did mothers allow their children to go anywhere after dark? They should have had a town curfew until that person was caught.
They did. It was an 11 o'clock curfew. Too late at night if you ask me.
wayne was sick kid, you have to study up on it to understand it
@@randyposs6281I often wonder how many William s killed besides the two he was convicted for.
some kids like Tim Hill stayed out late or went to friends house as excuse to be away from home
Don't forget many were snatched in the day time too.
WOW. There are a lot of great actors in this. I don't even remember it when it came out.
+akgeronimo501 like the killings themselves, the movie didn't really get a whole lot of press. not like they/it would have now
Mari I was in High School, but I remember the Killings getting a lot of press in Virginia. Just not as much news shows on then. Three in the morning and three in the evening.
talking with friends about this (ie, people i grew up with), we've come to the conclusion that the adults who raised us kept us from a lot of this stuff. which, given how young we were at the time, was probably for the best. even so, looking back on all this now ... it's mind blowing, really. so much in our culture changed because of this.
Mari That could be.
Yes a lot of great actors in this movie and all young too
I was in my early 20s when all of this was happening....living in a state far away, and a new mother with my first baby son. The news on the TV was sickening....and left us horrified and dismayed that sooooo many children had been killed. I missed the programs on TV that were produced after the case went to trial....and I'm catching up to all of them that I can find now: thanks to the gift of CZcams.
I feel so sorry for all of the families and loved ones who experienced the murder of their children.
For many of them: there will never be closure....never be relief...and the grieving will be forever.
I'm wishing all of them continued strength, resiliency, and comfort apart from their troubles.
Ha! Loved when Robards brought the German Shepherd into the court! 😂
to. all families who. had a child murdered. in Atlanta....I. want to say . .I'm. so sorry. for you. losing your children. In . this.horrific. way. .I never even. knew. about this. . I was living. way up North in Alaska. at the time again. I. hope the monster. who did this has been caught...for real. give him the death. penalty. ..oh. God. Lord. please give. these families .some kinda. strength and .. healing
God bless them babies and all who still have no answers.
We love you and our hearts go put to you
yeah, but according to the evidence in this case, there was only one victim (the first little girl) that had shown any signs of possible sexual assault. All the others showed no evidence of being violated or having had put up a struggle.
So, I doubt these murders had anything to do with child prostitution.
They need to remake this movie
From the time Wayne Williams was taken into custody, IF he wasn't the killer, the real killer could have decided to stop and let someone else take the fall.
I can't agree with you that the real murderer stopdd. As killing people especially children is certainly a disease that likely can not be cured and the murders would have continued. Perhaps the was also a sickness in Wayne. We heard that his parents were schol teachers and since Wayne was an only child perhaps he grew up with jealousy about the attention the other kids were geting from his parents. As we all know a teachers job never stops at 3:30 there is a lot of grading and lesson plans brought home to do. Wayne is also known to be a showman requiring a lot of attention and it seemed to me he attracted the younger generation. What do you Think?
@@AmlSept I actually agree with your point that a murderer doesnt just stop. They cant, otherwise most of then would stop sooner wouldnt they ? That's the problem, there is something wrong with their brain and they cant stop things like killing kids so very unlikely he decided to stop to let someone else take the blame .I dont think not getting attention from your parents makes you a killer, especially of children. It is a known fact that people like this have something different in their brains. They are just born evil.
Serial killers and never just stop
@@AmlSept That's true.
@@debbiepeter112 or the real killer could have just died. A coincidence.
Aug 2019 - Mindhunter Series 3 - possible spoiler alert. Exellent mini series.
FlippingBunny yes I watched it on Mindhunter and didn’t realise that it was about actual crimes. Hope there will be Mindhunter Mini Series
It is 11pm. Do you know where your children are?
I told you last night, NO!
11 yrs later and it's exactly 11pm again
If luminal existed then. It really could have helped this case
luminol did exist back then, but the bodies were left outdoors, and they'd have way too many false positive results
DNA would be better. They could test under the nails of the children to see if they scratched Williams.
"I'm a Mississippi Jew, but I'm also accepted by the 'Good ol' boys.'"
The theme song though 😳😳😳
Morgan Freeman is sure young in this movie.Love him as an actor.
Dawn Pierce I admire Morgan Freeman he's a great actor along with James earl jones
I hate his whiny voice
Hes 48 in this film
@@mmoore5190 And people say 48 is old. Hogwash!
@@joserivera2045 rip torn and tina andrews, bill Paxson also in movie
man the actor playing wayne is a dead ringer for him apart from the fact that his skin is darker than wayne's
I know. I was thinking the same thing. Can you imagine going through life being a dead ringer for Wayne Williams?
BAD ASS CALVIN LEVELS AS THE NOTORIOUS WAYNE WILLIAMS
another thing that was not shown and that is Wayne had a young black defense lawyer and she was shown only from afar. they din't show the actress up front in the movie only as a person in a crowd.
Was that seriously the DA's opening statement?
God plead blood of Jesus over these kids
After the law enforcement team heard the splash they chased the Williams car down for what should have been a brief investigatory stop. They were entitled to do so as they had a particularized suspicion that the occupant had done something which attracted their attention. The officers exceeded the scope of the traffic stop and detained Williams. He was interrogated without a lawyer present and his car was searched. The officers needed probable cause to do this but they had no evidence that a crime had occurred or a warrant to search the car. The officers actually went on a fishing expedition when they stopped and searched Williams car. There is nothing in the record saying that Williams gave permission to search the car or that he gave up his right to have an attorney present during the roadside custodial interrogation. Everything the prosecution used after the bridge incident is called "the fruit of the poisonous tree." Did the trial court err in admitting reference to the splash and the detention of Wayne Williams to the courtroom.?? I'd say they did..the officers exceeded the scope of the traffic stop by interrogating Williams without an attorney present and seizing evidence from the car with no search warrant.
If you write and tell that to Wayne ,maybe he can get a retrial.
I'm glad they did all that you say!!!
They just had to get someone for the murders
This case shouldn't been open no one was held accountable for them kids murder .
I'm happy that Mrs. Bottom wants justice for those who were affected by this hate for black people.
god I love Jason Robards. One of the finest actors of my lifetime. And all these incredible actors in this cast. It's overwhelming - to see J.E.Jones with M. Freeman, at every turn throughout this series, another superlative performance by another unforgettable actor. It's a great thing to see this again. We need to remember our recent history. It's not all due to the garbage at the top today -- we have been moving to this miserable impasse for generations.
Jason Robards always seemed to command respect on the screen, but I thought this was one of his finest performances.
Wild Tom Waits singing the opening music. Cool.
i dont know if hes guilty or not but, judging by the facts in court i cant really see how they could find this man guilty beyon a reasonable doubt, like i say i dont know if hes guilty but in a court of law he should not have been found guilty
He's guilty by reputation of the child murders only, but he was convicted fairly of murdering the two young men.
They needed someone to take the blame for these murderers its just like Dallas on that day in November 22, 1963 all over again n blame a lone nut
I wonder if Wayne Williams ever watched any of the movies portraying him. I only know of two movies including this one, I heard that when the defense first saw the judge was black they assumed Wayne would be walking out of the court whistling Dixie but the joke was on them. also why Wayne just tell the girl who is interviewing him a yes or no answer
How is it that Shootings, Stabbings, Strangulations & Asphyxiations were considered similar Patterns?????? Please explain thiscto me?????
If ALL of those kids were "street hustlers"...then the nature of being a "street hustler" brings risk and possible death...If they were being picked up by "strangers"...Then the task force, the GBI, the APD should have dug a little deeper into those murders. Why weren't the possible "clients" of these children being investigated...If there were sightings of these kids being picked up and then...THEY GO MISSING...Why don't we hear about more suspects??? What about the supposed KKK connection???
wayne was a talent scout and it gave him a way to even let the kids ride with him,many kids knew him,the coach at Thomasville apartments remembered wayne passing out his fliers
the guy on the witness stand whos the fiber scientist was also in Helter Skelter as the gun tester for LaPD
The lawyer in grey suit did he play brooks in shawshank redemption looks like him ?
NICK DUFFY I think you’re referring to Jason Robards. Nope that’s not Brooks. James Whitmore played Brooks Hatlen in Shawshank. He’s an honored and respected actor who has been in many, many films ‘40s. He passed in 2009. Hope this helps.
Too bad it's edited. Scenes missing.
Aw Man I Was Hoping These Were All The Scenes Shoot
His lawyer is the reason Wayne is rotting in prison. He had no business allowing him on the stand. His due diligence should have shown him that his client is volatile, impulsive and quick to anger. Attributes not conducive for anyone to get onto the stand.
Wayne's lawyer was a female and he wouldn't be talked out of going on the stand. William s was responsible for some of the murders but there more involved in the disappearance of those children. When William s was arrested the murders stopped,but the other killers could have stopped making it look like William s was responsible for all of them.I have never bought into it that William s killed all of them,it's a cover up the other killers went free and could be still out there.
He's in prison for murder. Only he is to blame.
how many parts are this
Three.
Good for you *slowly backing up*
I am all in tears why he do that to those kids
Real scum bag did this. I'm not gonna condemn dude bc I really don't know. But whoever did needs hellfires
I was 16yrs. and a year later left for boot camp and down south was on fire wherever there were black communities not even Latinos were not allowed near black places they would be escorted out if they were lucky some Latinos or white boys were beat the hell up. Things got out of control.
Set uo..total set up
One of the worst songs to open a mini series ever!
what was the name of the theme song and who sang it??
Why was he or anyone never charged of the murders of the children?
they got wayne and gave him 2 life term so why give him 10 more?
@@randyposs6281exactly. Even if he did do it there’s no longer a point in convicting him. He’s 100 percent going to die in prison.
back then they show movies 2 n half long maybe 3 so they show just about the whole movie now n days they are making these movies 1 hour n 30 min so that why you guys dont think they didn't get justice yes they did this movie have 24 part see the whole movie they have this man the chair he is dead
Morgan Freeman looks so young here!
So was the green trylobular carpet found in the Williams's home the only one sold in the entire Atlanta area, like that. It's ludicrous to think that they were the only customers who purchased that same carpet
That’s true but along with other circumstantial evidence it becomes overwhelming.
@RaeBattleRapsMood circumstantial evidence gets discredited all the time, in other cases, so why should it have been overwhelming included in the case???
Why did the judge allow this so called "pattern" of the other murders in court when he was charged with 2 adult murders and none of the child murders?
Edit: I see no connection here.
10 other cases were talked about in court ,many witnesses said they saw wayne with them
What a horrible opening song!!
David Copperfield omg yes!!!
Sounds like a cross between a bad tom waits and bruce springsteen impression.
IT IS TOM WAITS!!! CHECK THE SOUNDTRACK, no kidding
The singer sounds like he could be stalking those kids at the playground watching them play and he's singing to himself through that song.It is indeed creepy
Yes
The beavers were coming out of the walls! Theres something movin and it ain’t us! They’re all around us, man!
Many things don't add up. First, Williams was a chunky awkward man who I can't see able to sling these bodies into the river, woods field etc. secondly, the Williams home is small. They had to know if boys were walking through there living room into Wayne's bedroom and not coming out alive anyway. Finally, I think Wayne was involved in a few of the murders, but the klan, child molesters, and others were killing at that time and there crimes blended in with the others.
longhairfan Not true many people in ATL say they kept going but the news stop reporting about it as much.
+longhairfan Nowadays, instead of fibers, they go for the DNA first.
the bridge wall was only about 3 feet tall,jury went to see it and a woman juror said she could get a body over that wall
The judge is rob e from dr Quinn i love that show ❤
the murders did not stop
in fact, they continued for several years after Williams' conviction. also most don't know that Williams was never convicted of any child murders. The two murders that he was convicted of where of two grown men.
How do u know? On a documentary police said no more children were killed
Agreed the list stopped. This whole case is a mess hes only charged of killing two people ,yet he threw a body off the bridge and the cops didnt even see the car stop. I believe it was more than one person doing these killings!
@@inker124 Payne or cater lived down the street from him,some witness said the saw a white and black man together and some saw a van but I think some kids were scared and assumed there were killers on every corner
Just curious as to why the 3 parts of this mini series are of very different lengths. Was it broadcast on TV initially as a 2 part series maybe... And on here the part 2 has been split up to make into parts 2 and 3.
It'd make sense, as 2 and 3 combined are approx the same as part 1.
Aaaahh, I see now.
Pt1 ends at about 1hr 32m. The other 50 odd minutes are blue screen then blank.
I often wonder why some youtube videos aren't cropped. Some actually even start playing over again once finished, whie only half way through the length of the upload. Maye there's a good reason for it, as I see it quite often, frm many different users. Get around copyright maybe. Ca think of any other half decent reason.
William Bowman Excellent question! I’ve wondered that myself several times about other movies here on CZcams. The answer you received clears it up for me. How ‘bout you?
@@KDL861 Hi. I didn't really get an answer. I'd replied to my own question with a realization that some parts of the miniseries finished earlier than the stated ted video length. Just the end of a vhs tape probably.
But alternately I do find on many different videos, from different users too, that often a 1hr video would be 2hrs long but would just begin playing it all over again for wotever reason I dunno.
I doubt its the users/channel owners/uploaders doing it. I suspect youtube do it for wotever reason. I dunno. Makes no sense at all to me. Hope I find out why one day..? Cheers.
@@williambowman5197 It was a 3 part mini-series, each episode lasting 2 hours (i.e., approximately1:20 of show and 40 mins of commercials per night.)
Where is part 3? :( This isn't all of the movie.....
Part 3 is on here now if you're still interested! I'm going to watch it right after this is over. I already watched part one earlier today! I saw the movie many years ago. I was a kid. Thanks!
If williams is innocent why did the murders stop when he was locked up ?
Part 2 starts @ 11:45.
Make me think of the mandrills HOUSE OF WOOD 😢
Scary movie. Scary time. My twin sister and I were scared to death we would be killed by this maniac back in the day.
TakeMyShoesOff Say what?!? We’re y’all raised in Atlanta?
Some victims were shot, stabbed, strangled & asphyxiated; So how is that considered a similar patern???? I really wish that DNA evidence would have been available back then
Another one bites the dust!
The lady speaking @4:27 was/is the Oracle from "The Matrix".
Al Bundy's co worker. Lol He had to play on something else
Marcus Price He was also Dwayne Wayne's dad on A Different World
Think this should have been guilty but not proven
The infamous killing of Mr.Willasms or guilty is very sizzing movie base a true criminal documentay by th3 courts of atlanta
Mindhunter (Netflix) - Series 2 - deals with the same subject.
Robin has a shitty way of wording things, and a lot of her comment is ignorant and heartless, but in terms of strict facts, she's really not wrong.
A lot of the reports and early rumblings at the time were that these were kids who were part of a child prostitution ring - neighborhood pedophiles would pay to engage in sexual activity with them.
Watch a lot of the actual nightly news reports that are uploaded here on CZcams, some of them do go into this aspect of the case.
Get your head checked...
Pt2 starts@11:00 u welcome, just show me some love with a👆
25:57
Bill Paxton was so cute.
the same type? are u reffering to blacks?
48:53 . Jason Robards also plays Charles Wheeler, the homophobic boss in 1993's "Philadelphia".
The medical examiner look like the guy who played in Mannequin part one as Roxy's puppet. Too many good actors in this damn movie. I can't keep up. Martin Sheen as well.
Im not yet born in this time..
Me neither its about 13yrs to early for me..😳
I've seen this and other things about the child atlanta murders 2 things scream out to me anyway firstly I think it was a woman who did this kids would willingly go with a woman no questions asked and strangling as the mo that a very personal way to kill anyone. 2 if it was a woman it would also explain why there was no signs of struggle or fighting back she could have say let the child sleep or lay down or even a hug then strangled them I think Wayne Williams maybe guilty of something but not murder or the child murders at least I think he was a patsy so they could close the case as solved this is my take on it anyway
NICK DUFFY Very interesting perspective. You are so right that a woman would be seen as very harmless during that time.
Yeah Wayne Williams family members that's thee women whom helped. Out,, he's familymembers was in this aswell
Couldn’t handle the darkness which was actually revealing the evilness of the character. Scary indeed!
Gawd. What a dodgy court process, not to mention the prosecutor himself.
Why were we black people so unfairly treated? Why?
Wayne was Framed..😐✌
Yep
I believe that Wayne Williams is innocent.
January Dimes so do I
Me too 🥺
I think there were a lot of people who took advantage of this situation and killed their kids without any consequences.
