Considering the emergence of new science and technology related to DNA testing, the Atlanta Police Department realized an opportunity to re-evaluate evidence from the Atlanta Child Murders case. We identified a private lab in Salt Lake City, Utah, that specializes in analyzing deteriorated DNA.  Our investigators are hand-delivering evidence to the lab, this week.

As with all murder cases, our investigators dedicate countless hours of time and energy to successfully solve cases and bring some sense of closure to victims’ relatives.

At this time, there is nothing further to release. At the request of the lab, we politely ask that all media outlets refrain from contacting them. Once information that can be shared is available, The Atlanta Police Department will provide an update to media.
