    Ángel Reséndiz aka The RailRoad Killer
    He snatched up a couple like 20 miles away from me. ? had us shook cause my family had just moved from across the street from some train tracks not too long before they got killed. My cousin used to stay by some tracks, too, and we used to be scared at night cause we thought he would pull up lol.

    "The only thing we feared was Williams, Wayne. Never thought about hitting licks or slanging 'cane" - 3 Stacks

    Was gonna post Wayne.

    For some reason, I still think he had help. 28 murders from one cat is possible, but it makes me skeptic.

    I wasn't born when the ACM started but my parents told me that other (black) parents wouldn't let there children go outside. If they did they would watch them or have to be accompanied/chaperoned by older brothers sisters in groups. It was truly scary times!

    Not familiar with this case but I will be shortly, based off photos alone of him and good shots of his eyes I don't believe he has taken a life.

    I was around 4 when he was convicted so I came up during the aftermath of the Wayne Williams era. I don't remember much about it but my sister who is 3 and a half years other than me went to school with one of the missing and murdered children. I do remember the commercials that would come on tv saying it's 8 o'clock do you know where your children are? I remember "Officer Friendly" coming to our school and giving us the don't talk to strangers speech like once a month. I remember my aunt, cousins and grandmother taking us past Wayne William's house and most of all I remember his name. Wayne Williams was the real life boogie man for any kid who lived in or around Atlanta during the early 80s.

    I still wonder if Wayne Williams did that ? . He got caught throwing a body in the river so I know he did something. The body they found was of a 28 year old and Williams was actually convicted of murdering 2 adults. They used questionable technology and methods to tie him to the missing and murdered kids. There were rumors that the ? and/or the police were actually killing the kids. Those rumors still exist today. I know Wayne Williams did something but my gut tells me he didn't do it all.

    @skpjr78

    Oh yeah, I remember my folks and others tellin' me about the "Do you know where your children are??" commercials.

    Funny thing is, I was born on the day he was stopped by the Chattahoochee River (which he was subsequently brought in 2 days later and arrested a month later). They didn't actually see him dumping the bodies, they heard the splash and pulled him over b/c he close enough. I'm not absolving him but.....

    Speaking of the ? , here's an excerpt from an article....

    "Williams and his family members have also blamed the murders on various others over the years, including the Atlanta police — who they believed were trying to avoid a race war — and the Ku Klux ? .

    Spin magazine investigated the case in 1986, and revealed that a secret investigation discovered and then covered up the fact that a Ku Klux ? family, the Sanders, may have been responsible for the murder of a young black boy and was possibly linked to the murders of 14 others in an attempt to ignite a race war between blacks and whites, according to court papers. But as the evidence against the Sanders family grew, the committee investigating the killings allegedly became nervous that revealing that the ? was behind the murders could trigger racial unrest in the city. Members of the committee reportedly decided to terminate the secret investigation and seal its findings — but the controversy continues to this day."


    I do believe this ? has a lot of credence! And I do believe the cops possibly were letting this happen or weren't extremely motivated to catch anyone and just pinned it on a ? who was a weirdo who just so happened to allegedly dump a couple bodies in the river. It's like I think he was intertwined somehow, but was mainly a patsy!

    A lot of evidence in his case is merely circumstantial too.
