The answer is yes. It doesn't matter how this "documentary" spins the truth. I'm sure children were murdered after he was arrested, but not like they were while he was free. Serial killers don't just change their habits, even if someone else is convicted for their crimes. They follow patterns and have habits they don't just change overnight. So the claims that the "real" murdered just stopped leaving bodies all over Atlanta doesn't make sense.
This documentary was not good. It barely talked about the children, it barely talked about the investigation. I'm not even sure where all of the hours of the documentary were spent, even after watching all the episodes. It was very unfocused and seemed like it was all over the place. The timelines were all over the place and the things they focused on were all wrong. There were way too many people to remember who everyone was, so they should have had their name and relationship to the case on the screen every time they were on the screen.
I agree, the children did not get their day in court, the families did not get any type of resolution. I would be angry if I was a family member as well. These children lost their lives and no one was convicted for their deaths. But it is clear it was Wayne Williams who murdered the majority of them. I don't honestly believe he murdered the girls.
Do I believe the police & FBI did everything correctly? No. But that is comparing it to today's standards with today's knowledge and technology. When this was happening, serial killers were just had just started being profiled. They weren't even called serial killers until the 70s. The FBI only started the unit to investigate serial killers in 1974. There wasn't enough known about serial killers, their habits, their profiles... really anything at this time to help the investigation.
However, the murders stopped when he was arrested. To me, that is case closed.
