Wayne Williams (Wayne Bertram Williams) an American serial killer who is believed to have perpetrated the Atlanta murders of 1979–1981. After being convicted of two murders and sentenced to life imprisonment, authorities closed twenty-two other unsolved murders, declaring Williams to have been the perpetrator. In 1982, Williams was convicted on two counts of murder and was sentenced to two consecutive life terms in Georgia's Hancock State Prison. Williams has maintained his innocence and the case was reopened as recently as 2005. In 2007, DNA test on canine hair, human hair and blood failed to exonerate Williams.
