Different type case in Atlanta youth death police say
Authorities describe the 17 year old William Barrett death as a different type case from a string of 26 slayings of black youths. DeKalb officials considered whether to assign the case to the special child deaths task force while withholding details to avoid tainting the investigation. Barrett was found near a highway fully clothed after being missing less than a day.
