Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced March 21, 2019, that state and local authorities would take a fresh look at evidence in the cases of Atlanta’s Missing and Murdered Children. The AJC’s Joshua Sharpe reports that “police have made no commitment to actually reopen the decades-old investigation. Instead, the mayor and other officials said last week that the police department, the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation would gather evidence — such as DNA or fibers — still in their possession then determine if any of it can be retested with technologies that weren’t available in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when nearly 30 black children and young adults were killed.” HANDOUT
