FBI cites suspect in Atlanta child murders probe
FBI Director William Webster said authorities have a suspect in 12 to 16 of the related killings and have substantially solved three or four cases, though no prosecutions loom. He noted no proven racial motive and described the case as ongoing with investigators assigned about 30 agents. Dexter Lee Jackson was found after going missing, while Larry Rogers, the 23rd victim, was identified from a license plate clue linking a green station wagon to the crime scene.

The suit alleges the move aimed to preserve the town presence of its white population and seeks enforcement under the 1968 Fair Housing Act with the federal government later joining. The case, before Judge Blumenfeld, reflects civil rights posture and federal enforcement under a new administration.
