Description
This guided tour takes guests to crime scenes, graves, and monuments linked to the darkest chapters of Atlanta's history. On this tour, we will explore some of Atlanta's most infamous murders and crimes, historic and contemporary, including solved and unsolved cases. We will learn about the murder on the Coca-Cola heir's estate and the lynching of Leo Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan. We will discuss the serial killings of the Atlanta Ripper, Mrs. Bluebeard, and the Atlanta Child Murders. We cover the Courthouse Killer and the manhunt for the Olympic bomber. We break for refreshments at an unusually beloved local landmark, Murder Kroger. Please be advised that we will be discussing uncomfortable topics. Yes, our stops are about murders. But we also be discuss racism and the racial policies that shaped Atlanta. When talking about how historic crimes were investigated and punished in an old Southern city, there is no way to speak honestly without considering racism's effects.
