DNA tests complete in Atlanta child killer case

DNA test results are back in the case of the Atlanta child killer, but investigators aren’t saying what they found. Wayne Williams is blamed for 22 murders of young men and boys in Atlanta in the 1970’s and 80’s. Williams has been in prison for more than 20 years but says he’s innocent. In February, Williams’ lawyer won the right to have DNA tests done on dog and human hairs found on some of the victims, in an effort to clear Williams. The test results are being sent to prosecutors in Atlanta.
