Investigators extract DNA tied to 2 cases as part of a re-investigation of the decades-old Atlanta child murders

Investigators in Atlanta were able to extract DNA from two child murder cases for additional analysis as part of the city's probe into the dozens of decades-old unsolved killings, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Friday.
Authorities in March 2019 reopened the investigation into a series of child murders that took place between the 1970s and 80s to re-examine the evidence in the hopes that technological breakthroughs might point to a definite killer in the cases, most of which were never solved.
"Part of my asking that this be reopened was in light of where we are with DNA testing some 40 years later. What, if anything, more could we take a look at to make sure that we have examined everything possible to make sure that the person or people responsible are being held accountable," Bottoms said in her announcement of the DNA findings.
