The Basses, however, refuse to accept the
firemen's report.
"It did not start in the heater; it was an

S Because of the Basses' beliefs about the
fire, they have sought legal counsel in the

answer so long as a killer(s) stalks the city of Atlanta,
I preying on defenseless children.
i The revulsion that has swept the country in the wake of
I more than 20 killings has prompted WAOK radio, in
t Atlanta, and the National Black Network (NBN), to
conduct a four-hour "radiothon" this month that will
explore possible answers to a series of puzzling
questions. ...
The live broadcast, which will be available to the nearly
100 NBN affiliates, across the country, will be aired on
Sunday, March 29th, from 3 to 7 p.m. (EST).
The program will be co-hosted by WAOK's News
Director, Ron Sailor, who has been deeply involved in
