Atlanta police set up phone line for missing, murdered children cases

After Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and Police Chief Erika Shields announced last week that the search for any possible DNA evidence to be tested or re-tested in the cases of Atlanta missing and murdered children from 1979-1981, the police department as well as several city departments has received numerous phone calls.

“We’re very grateful for those calls, but quickly realized we needed a central, dedicated number so the public would know precisely who to call,” said spokesman Carlos Campos.

As a result, the Atlanta Police Department has set up a dedicated telephone line to receive information that might be helpful to investigators. Anyone who would like to offer information in any of the cases may call 404-546-2603.
