About this episode

This episode covers the abduction and murder of 17-year-old Carla Walker and the subsequent investigation that led to a breakthrough in her cold case.

Due to a family emergency, I’m taking this week off. But Holly with Crime with Holly is here to fill in with the story of Carla Walker. In 1974, 17-year-old Carla Jan Walker was abducted from a parking lot in Fort Worth, Texas after a night out with her boyfriend. Her murder shocked the community and left investigators with more questions than answers. For decades, the case went cold… and suspicion lingered on the one person who witnessed it all. Her boyfriend Rodney McCoy. Nearly 50 years later, a breakthrough in DNA technology would finally reveal the truth and bring long awaited justice.
