The Fall Line®
About this episode

In 1977--before the Atlanta Child Murders would grip the city--an unknown gunman stalked Atlanta's parks, looking for couples who'd sought the privacy of unofficial 'lover's lanes.' Between January and March, he killed three people and critically wounded three more. 

The second episode in this series covers The Atlanta Constitution reporter's Ken Willis and his dogged pursuit of the story--and push to publish it--and the APD's manhunt for the unknown gunman, which led to stakeouts of Atlanta parks.
