Cops Show Up 46 Years Later For This Serial Killer | The Case of Carla Walker

On February 17, 1974, just past midnight in Fort Worth, Texas, 12-year-old Jim Walker is jolted awake by the sound of screeching tires in his front yard. He sees Rodney McCoy, his sister Carla’s boyfriend, stumbling toward the Walkers' front door—badly hurt and covered in blood. But, one thing is immediately clear: 17-year-old Carla is nowhere to be found. This night marks the beginning of Jim’s nearly half-century-long battle to get justice for his sister, and finally take down a serial killer hiding in plain sight. - - - Sources: “The Last Dance.” Forensic Files II: Cable News Network, Inc., 2022. “The Night He Turned Bad.” Evil Lives Here: Discovery Communications Inc., 2024 “After the Dance.” Dateline: NBCUniversal Media, LLC, 2023. “Dance to Doom.” On the Case With Paula Zhan: Discovery, 2021. “Glenn McCurley.” World’s Most Evil Killers: Woodcut Media LTD, 2024. “High School Homicide.” The DNA of Murder With Paul Holes: Oxygen Media Productions, LLC, 2019. “Carla’s Last Valentine.” Bloodline Detectives: Peninsula Television, 2022.
