camille bell, yusef s mother, believed wayne to be innocent. she feels that last day on the witness stand convicted him. and then when he flared off, then they were ready to say, well, okay, so he does have fire. when you got angry with the prosecutor, you said, you re a drop shot. i called him a drop shot. what s a drop shot? what does that mean? quite simply in our vernacular, a drop shot is a guy who is not worth much of anything. just drop him and shoot him and get him out of the way. in other words, you re useless. we reminded wayne he also called poor black children on the streets the same thing, drop shots. that does not make me a murderer simply because i said somebody was a drop shot or because i called him a drop shot. that does not make wayne williams a murderer because i said somebody is a street urchin. come on, we re talking about murder. the fact is, i didn t kill anybody.
killer was loose in the city, even when bob buffington spotted a disturbing pattern. there had been a sharp increase in the number of children under the age of 14 who had been killed. when he told his boss at homicide, the major threatened to transfer him. and i truly think that they were afraid that there would be a panic. it was this mother, after the loss of her 9-year-old son, who finally forced police to listen, but not until almost a year after her boy died. camille bell and her children lived in these project apartments. poor to the eye, but rich in mind and spirit. yusef bell was an honor student in the gifted program at school.
richard radcliff. the result in layman s terms, he passed. he wasn t involved in killing jones. only days after wayne williams was convicted of killing two adults, atlanta s police commissioner closed the books on 21 other murder victims, declaring they too were killed by williams. most were children. among them, clifford jones and yusef bell. but without trials, the mothers were left without a verdict, one way or the other, in the deaths of all of the children. camille bell. even if it takes 30 trials, i don t care. you know, prove it. the prosecutor s answer, it would serve no purpose. you can only serve one life sentence.
on a warm october sunday in 1979 he walked away on an errand to buy snuff for an elderly lady downstairs. he went barefooted in a pair of brown shorts. he got to the store. he bought the snuff. he started back home. less than half a block from this store, yusef bell stepped off this curb and vanished. and nobody saw anybody do anything or anything. but they did see him come back across the street. and that s the last that we saw him. camille bell called the police. they came and said they d write a report. that s all. days went by. camille waited with two older children and yusef s 3-year-old sister. and so she is terrified.
