Is this Frankie Mealing?
On Wednesday, March 11th, he left his backyard where he was playing with a niece. She said he left in a taxi, where a man put "mud" on his face. Witness Frankie Mealing, 34, said he had sex with Timmy and another boy in a now razed house owned by pedophile Thomas "Uncle Tom" Terrell, 63, at 530 Gray Street on Thursday at 5pm. (A neighbor of Tom Terrell said that the man kept a bucket of some kind of drug that looked like mud and that people would sniff to get high.) Then Mealing said he went to Terrell's residence next door at 522 Gray Street. At 9pm, Timmy came over and asked to stay the night. After he told Tom that the last bus had left, Tom said alright. He stayed the night with Tom, Frankie, and "Curly." On Friday 4pm, he was seen standing on the sidewalk talking to a 16 year old girl. Frankie claimed that he saw atleast 10 list victims at either house of Tom Terrell's. Friday 13 March 1981
The Sunday afternoon after, he was reportedly seen at a rally for Missing & Murdered Children at Morehouse College (by a stranger who saw his red baseball cap). The next Monday, his teacher Theresa Swindall received 2 calls (traced to Northern DeKalb County) from him, crying.
Last seen wearing a black leather jacket, a beige shirt, yellow pants, brown shoes, white socks and a white cap.
Frankie Mealing's sister, whom he was staying with, said the police questioned Jo Jo Bell on Timothy Hill's disappearance 11 days after Jo Jo was reported missing.
Frankie Mealing's roommate on Rock Street, Larry Hill (went by the names Larry Marshall and Lee Hill, mother was Bertha Hill), 34 (or 28?) year old security guard at a telephone company near East Lake Meadows and at a Salvation Army, had a son also named Timothy Hill. When he was arrested in Connecticut, he told authorities that the victim Timmy Hill delivered a note to his residence which told him to leave Atlanta and was signed "Rev. E.C." (Reverend Earl Carroll lived near "Uncle Tom" Terrell.) After the arrest in Connecticut, he was held in Atlanta on charges of criminal attempt to commit armed robbery against a Fred Smith. He claimed he had "something to tell" Lewis R. Slaton.
A 15 year old who knew Yusuf Bell said Larry Marshall took him and Timmy Hill to have sex at Gray Street on 9 March 1981. He said he also took them to the Salvation Army to steal, but Timmy came out crying that someone had anally raped him inside. This 15 year old last saw Timmy when he went to wash a woman's dog for $50. He reportedly encouraged homosexual relations to another witness who lived on Kimberly Road. This witness said another suspect (not Williams) told him Timmy Hill and other bodies would be found in the Chattahoochie.

This house was presented on the news as the home of Jerry Thornton. If Jerry Thornton is indeed Frankie Mealing, this is likely his sister's home.
The body of Timothy Hill was found in the Chattahoochie about 1 mile south of the Campbellton Rd / GA-166 bridge by canoeists fishing, near Cochrane Road. It was found on the same property as victims who were employed at homosexual entertainment venues found in the 70's (killed "execution style").
His body was missing all clothes but his underwear. The cause of death listed was undetermined asphyxiation. 30 March 1981 |
