Mass Murder in Hardin, Texas: Small Towns are not Immune

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

Criminology Research Project, Inc., has learned of a mass murder having occurred a short while ago in the small community of Hardin, Texas.    Texas sources tell CRP that as many as 25 or more bodies have been discovered, a number of them children, in a residence in this small South East Texas town.

Criminology Research Project, Inc., Executive Director, Dr. Edward Blackwelder, will bring you updates as developments are made known.  Blackwelder says that a reliable Hardin, Texas, source indicated that the crime rate, at least until now,  rated of “1″ on a scare of 1 to 10.  It seems this statistic will change and Hardin will become a name to be remembered in the anals of crime in America.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is sending in an Evidence Response Team to begin an immediate investigation.

“The Atlanta Child Murders” to air Thursday PM on CNN

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

It’s been a year of hard work and long hours but the finished product airs for the first time this coming Thursday night, 8:00 p,m, CST, on CNN.  The documentary, The Atlanta Child Murders, should put to rest any doubt as to guilt or innocence for convicted serial murderer Wayne Williams.

Toward the end of the documentary each viewer will be given the opportunity to cast a vote.  The choices will be: guilty, not guilty, or not proven.  The voting will be open for an hour following the ending of the broadcast.  I urge each of you to cast your vote as it will be interesting to see the results.

I thank CNN Senior Producer James Polk for giving me the opportunity to work with him and his team of professionals in bring this particular case back into the lime light.  It’s a case that continues to be controversial in that many believe that others were involved in the kidnapping and murders of many of the children in the Atlanta metropolitan area during the late ’70′s and early ’80′s.

Remember, too, that Williams was convicted of only two of the murders and these convictions were of adults, not children.

Is there one or more copy cat serial killers among society, never to have been apprehended?  This detailed two  hour documentary should help the viewed decide.

My thanks, once again, to Pulitizer prizer winner, James Polk, for an outstanding job.  Jim does what he does really great and all of media should be proud to call him one of theirs.

Dr. Edward Blackwelder

Executive Director
