"The Hunt: Atlanta's hidden serial killers"

Really good article that shows New Orleans is also in the top 10 of serial killer hunting grounds with a 21% solve rate!!!

According to a homicide detective-turned professor and a former data journalist, Atlanta is likely hiding some of the most prolific serial killers in U.S. history.
They’ve never been caught, and their crimes… left cold.
Numbers, data and an algorithm have done what detectives haven’t been able to do—outline the largest cluster of unsolved strangulation murders of women in the nation—more than 130 women who were strangled or asphyxiated to death, spanning over four decades. Most of these murders were committed within the city of Atlanta; all within the metro area.
Nearly 100 of those cases were reported as unsolved to the FBI.

Wayne Brady is from Georgia, mystery solved.

I read something similar a few days ago that used this database to find clusters. Interesting stuff. The most prolific Atlanta serial killer to date is Wayne Williams, I think. If that cluster ends up being one of two people, if they ever find out, that would blow his county out of the water.

pretty sure fried chicken stands aren't that "hidden"

Even the solve rate doesn't mean that much. Most caught serial killers have many more victims than they'll ever get convicted for. The only solace is they are off the street.

If these serial murders were around SMU’s campus, I could point the officials in the right direction.

Somewhere in New Mexico police found a huge dumping ground. That guy has never been caught.

If I had to deal with Atlanta traffic there would be one more serial killer in Atlanta

Ehhhh... get a good book on audio and it makes it more tolerable. Need to extend MARTA out much farther than it is though. You have people commuting from Cumming,Alpharetta, Kennesaw and Acworth to their jobs downtown. That's the recipe for a traffic debacle.
