Three-year-old Arthur Williams, Jr was a bright, joyful little boy who spent his days playing alongside his big sister in their Las Vegas neighborhood. But on April 15th, 1985, within minutes of stepping outside to play, Junior was senselessly attacked by a man who approached the children on the sidewalk, spoke to them, and then stabbed Arthur before fleeing into a nearby alley. Arthur passed away the next morning, and despite sketches, witnesses, and the fear that gripped the community, the man responsible has never been identified. In this episode, we walk through the final day of Arthur’s life, the timeline of the investigation, and the lingering heartbreak of a family still waiting for justice.
