And behind that pattern was one man: Michael Terry.In this episode of The Black Docket, we dive deep into the Atlanta of the mid-80s a city with two faces: the booming “Black Mecca” and the neighborhoods it left behind. We follow the trail from the first murder to the investigation that cracked the case, the detectives who refused to look away, and the trials that made Terry one of Atlanta’s most notorious serial killers.We’re not just telling you about a killer. We’re remembering Richard Williams, Curtis Brown, Alvin George, Jason McColley, George Willingham, and Daryl Williams the men the city forgot.✨✨Blacklight Spotlight ✨✨Evie AsioSong: Pendulum Album: Contending & Contention@EvieAsio on all Social Media Platforms🕊️🕊️The Forgotten Docket🕊️🕊️Kayci GriffenAge: 12Height: 5’6Weight: 125lbsEyes: BrownHair: Blonde BraidsIf you see her or know anything please contact the Phoenix Police DepartmentListen to The Black Docket Podcast🎧 Spotify: The Black Docket on Spotify🍎 Apple Podcasts: The Black Docket on Apple Podcast💛 iHeartRadio Podcasts: The Black Docket on iHeartRadio Podcast🎙️ Amazon Music: The Black Docket on AmazonJoin the Investigation🔔 Hit the bell to never miss an episode.💬 Comment your theories—we read every one.🕵️‍♀️ Follow me on social media for behind-the-scenes updates, case breakdowns, and my occasional rants about why the justice system needs a makeover:📸 Instagram: The_black_docket🎥 TikTok: TheBlackDocketPodcast🐦 Twitter: TheBlackDocket
