Anthony Bernard Carter, a 9-year-old boy, disappeared from the West End neighborhood of Atlanta while playing hide-and-seek with his cousin on July 6, 1980. He lived with his mother, Vera, in a red brick apartment and attended E.R. Carter Elementary; he also did odd jobs at the nearby West End Mall.

His body was later found in a warehouse area near a dumpster behind the 600 block of Glenn Street SW. The cause of death was multiple stab wounds, and investigators at the time believed his body had been moved to that location after the killing. Anthony is one of at least 28 children, adolescents, and young adults killed in Atlanta between 1979 and 1981.

A man named Wayne Williams was arrested and convicted in 1982 for the murders of two adult victims; after that conviction officials attributed a number of the child killings, including Anthony’s, to Williams, though he was never formally charged in the children’s cases. The Atlanta Police Department reopened the child murder investigations in 2019 seeking new forensic leads.

Did anyone in the West End at the time remember Anthony, his family, or seeing anything unusual around July 6, 1980?
