Summary

On this week’s show I want to take you back to the spring of 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia. The city was still recovering from the Atlanta Child Murders from 1981 and when the news hit the wire 8-year-old Joshua Harmon was missing everyone held their collective breath and hoped this wasn’t the beginning of another string of killings. Joshua Harmon's body was found 2 days after he disappeared on May 15, 1988. His family has waited 33 years for the answers they now have today.
