		<description>Jim, that is good but I believe the police got the right man. His father could have been involved in the cover up or may have help, but the man the police saw on that bridge that not was Wayne not homer.  You have to realize that Wayne had lost some weight and lhis face is not as full as it once was. To fully understand the case, you have to read about th work that a police conslutant did profiling the case. he was able to show a pattern of here the vitcims were from and that were all connected by Memorial drive and he notice the person was traveling east getting his vitcims. They he noticed a pattern of where the bodies were placed which is why they were on the bridge that night waiting because they were banking on him showing up that night.

You have to realize that Wayne was pretending to have a record company as well as being a scout so he was able to approach many kids that way. I know he ws taking and selling photos to the newspaper, record company, etc, but he may alos may have been a DJ as well. His whole life was set up so he can be all over city and would not look out of place. Several of the victims were into music and Wayne was going to be their manager, Patrick &quot;Pat Man&quot; Roders and William &quot;Billy Star&quot; Barnett were two of the you men that were in to music and new Wayne. 

The thing about the whole case that points to Wayne is the profile of the Victim. Most of the victims were small and in fact one person told me that one of the male was 4&#039;11 at age 14. I am willing to bet that the majority of the victitims were under 5-7. Even one of the adult male vicitim was said to be 5-1 and child like in appearance and Larry Roger was said to be midly retarded. This is very important because Wayne is not that tall and has small hands.  Some people want to believe that the KKK was the one but it would stand to reason that some of the vitcims could have been close to 6 feet and heavier. The next thing is most of the older ones were drug addict and ex-cons. How easy would have been to get someone high and take advantage of them. 

Dixie Hills. Wayne and his mother and father lived in Dixie Hills, a neighborhood right in the middle of where the murder victims had lived and disappeared.

Geographical Location. The one thing that connected all the murder victims was geographical location. Gender, age, and background were ruled out because boys as well as girls were being murdered. All the victims were different ages and they all had different backgrounds. Some victims were as old as twenty seven and some were as young as six. All came from diversified backgrounds. Geographical location was the one thing that they all had in common.

Edward Smith and Alfred Evans. Edward Smith was fourteen and Alfred Evans was also the same age. Edward had left a skating rink and Alfred had left his house to go see a Karate movie. Both boys were best friends. They were discovered missing on July 21, 1979 and a few days later their bodies were found. Both boys had missing clothes and were wearing items of clothing that were not theirs. Edward&#039;s body was identified by dental records, but, sadly, Alfred&#039;s body has never been positively identified, although his parents believe it to be him. How did both boys end up together? Did they know their killer?</description>

		<description>Given that Wayne&#039;s father Homer had access to the vehicle(s) and obviously the home re rug and other fibres, would have had a similar DNA profile to those in the hair samples found on at least one victim and bore a closer resemblance (glassess and hair most noteably) than Wayne to one of the ID sketches of a driver of suspect vehicle why was he never a suspect?

As I understand it he was a teacher and could have been familar to at least some of the victims, this would mean he could have been someone seen as a trusted figure with access. Although motive is another question.</description>
