Grand jury to hear Williams murder indictment in Atlanta
A Fulton County grand jury will be asked within a month to indict Wayne B Williams for the strangulation death of Nathaniel Cater, 27, whose body was found in the Chattahoochee River. The case hinges on fiber evidence and a pre-dawn bridge encounter, with defense calling the state case weak. FBI findings link hairs and fibers to other victims in the string of slayings. Williams appeared in court in Hampton, Virginia, but did not testify.
