vehicle and i didn t want to corrupt the my dad s testimony in the eyes of the jury, so i lied about it and said i didn t have it on the stand. what makes this important is what time robert henry says he saw wayne and nathaniel cater together. it was about 9:15 to 9:30. it was on luckie and forsyth street in downtown atlanta. so at the trial you said that you were in bed until 10:00 p.m. you were so sick that your mother said she had to help lie your body out on the bed you were so sick. this is where the confusion with all of us came in. i got back from hotlanta records probably about 9:00, 9:30. but there s no one to corroborate that, even if his mother were still alive. wayne said she probably didn t see him come in. prosecutor jack mallard. he was out that night, no question in my mind. he was not at home. he was out and about.
detective welcome harris said the boy was not believable. he exaggerated stuff. he could in other words, he was open to suggestions. and if you said that mickey mouse was up there and if he sensed that you wanted him to say that, he d say yeah. wayne supporters point out the laundry manager failed two police lie detector tests. but few are aware of a third test given by the fbi examiner, 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.
that looks awful. and he said he had fallen into a bush. 15-year-old terry pue died late that january. his body dropped by the roadside in a rural county 20 miles from home. he had been strangled. his mother whoever killed him, he had to tussle with him because he had scratches all over him. it gives me chills down my spine still. to this day, kathy andrews does not believe wayne s explanation. he did not fall in a bush. it was after you realized, it was fairly obvious. and i don t know what else could have caused that kind of wound on his arm. the intervals between murders were shrinking. 19 days from lubie geter s disappearance until terry pue s death, then 15 days until the next victim. soon 13, then 11, and before long, a body a week.
this witness, lugene laster, knew him and said he saw him and left in a station wagon that looked like this. lester testified he got in the car, got in wayne s car. in court lester would identify wayne williams as the driver. lugene laster pretty much an eye witness said you gave a ride to jo-jo bell in your station wagon. okay. did you? no, i did not. williams did not deny he was the driver. he instead insisted his passenger had to be someone else. jo-jo bell was never to be seen again. it would be horrendous if another child dies, period. a week later, sammy davis jr. and frank sinatra came to atlanta for a concert to benefit the children.
