Image Not Available for Framed pictures of two victims found near the Chattahoochee river. Atlanta police have found yet another body in a river not far from the city, a dumping ground used by a killer who so far has taken the lives of 24 young blacks in the past 21 months. A local task force is operating “day and night” with the FBI in trying to track down the killer who has terrorized the black community. The Mayor of Atlanta, Maynard Jackson, said that the mysterious disappearance did not indicate a “great crime wave sweeping the city” and that about the same number were missing in 1978, Atlanta, Georgia
