I love Payne Lindsey and all his projects.
Payne Lindsey is the goat of the genre of true crime podcast. Not only is he telling these stories HIS INPUT IS CAUSING CHANGE AND CLOSURE IN THESE CASES!!!

Just trying to raise controversy for views
It was pretty evident that there wasn’t much drama or controversy involved in this case from very early on. So it seems like the author is trying to cause controversy where there is none. Pretty biased take overall. It’s disappointing because I like the other podcast from this author.

Totally ignorant woman episode 2
Wow. Who was that black women speaking in episode 2? Absolutely mind blowing and ridiculous ahahah. Saying it’s so possible it could be a white person as long as that white person dresses like a black, talks like one, walks, attitude like one… no one would notice. You ignorant lady you that one sided?? Are you forgetting that persons skin is WHITE and will stick out like a sore thumb. Then her next comment about how drug addict whites fit in black communities easy when buying drugs. Again lady, they don’t fit in at all, every thug drug dealer and their brother instantly know when a white person comes to buy drugs. Because they stick out. Dressing/talking/acting black or not. I almost had to turn the episode… that lady is a joke. Probably racist as heck too.

Overwhelming and heart felt
Thanks for making this podcast there are not many podcast out about black ppl and some of the ones out there barely touch the surface. I love the way this story is being told through the ppl who experienced and were affected by it.

PLEASE PLEASE READ
My mom was born in Atl and lived in the area she was 11 around the time that all this was happening. She says in 1982 they took some of the reward money and sent her and about 20 other kids from urban youth camps to France for 7 days. That is some of what I’ve heard about what happened with the reward money and she wants to know if anybody else remembers going or took part in those trips.?.?.?

Guilty
The one thing that convinced me of Williams’ guilt was that the killer must have been black as a white person or white people would have been noticed in that community-someone would have seen something that stood out especially after so many disappearances and subsequent murders. Many of these disappearances occurred in the daytime. Also, Williams had impersonated a police officer in the past and clearly had a knack for turning the impressionable into believers that he could turn them into superstars. And, looking for “Cheryl Johnson’s” address hours before their “meeting”. Guilty!

Move DC Sniper Monster to its own separate Pod
DC sniper season should not be a added as a continuation of the series. Atlanta Monster should end after the subject is complete.

Serial gets better and better
On the third or fourth episode and completely frustrated that the “facts’ are not checked. Payne clearly has a bias and doesn’t challenge accusations. Makes me wish Sarah Koenig handled the story. I’ve learned nothing.

Skewed
Payne seems to only focus on the angle that Williams didn’t commit the crimes while ignoring the myriad details, interviews, evidence showing that he was in fact the culprit. I don’t believe he was guilty of all of them but he’s definitely a murderer. Many locals have been interviews saying Wayne was the killer. This was ignored.

Very thorough just overwhelming
There’s so much tragedy and so much happening with these still open cases that it can become overwhelming but this show is thoroughly researched and balanced. I love the John Douglas interview at the end. I think it’s really great that after Payne’s success he chose to highlight this important story.

Atlanta missing and murdered children
I was born and raised in Ga. I was a child when this case was taking place, I remember it well. I was one as well as many of my family that believed in the innocence of Wayne Williams. We believed that he was used as a scapegoat!HOWEVER in listening to your entire podcast, I have changed my position Thank You and your team for sharing your research and such great information on this caseAs kids we were afraid

Great podcast
I love the way Payne presents the story, just as I love his other podcasts. I’m always left wanting more because he is a good story teller. This podcast seemed to have a lot of long commercials though compared to other podcasts that Payne has done.

To be honest, I am not going to finish
The editing in conjunction with Ad interruptions on the first 3 episodes make this impossible for me to continue. Ads are fairly tone deaf to the weight of the content. Placement of the Ads (which I assume is my is with the editing) doesn’t seem to be thought out. Bam! Right in the middle of a thought, etc.

pretty good but…
both episodes 2 and 6 are not episodes on the case but rather episodes from other podcasts. it’s frustrating because every time i start to get lost in the storyline….BAM a random podcast that has nothing to do with the case i’m listening to

disrespectful
i can’t listen to this with the horror music soundtrack and the production,like it’s trying to be too entertaining. should take the subject matter more seriously and go about the production with more respect and sensitivity towards the victims.

Heartbreaking
I can’t believe I didn’t know more about the Atlanta Child Murders sooner. This podcast really taught me about a community’s trauma in a place and time that I wasn’t familiar with previously.
