About this episode
The episode discusses the case of Carla Walker, who went missing after a high school dance in 1974, and the long search for answers by her family.
In 1974, 17-year-old Carla Walker went to a high school dance with her boyfriend Rodney McCoy and never came home. Countless people were interviewed, there was a confession that turned out bogus, and sadly it would be 46 years and a trip to CrimeCon before the Walker Family finally got answers Produced by Jacob Hollabaugh Sponsors: -TaskRabbit: Taskrabbit.com Use code THEWORST for $15 off your first task -Goodles: Goodles.com Available at Target, Walmart, and other retailers -OSEA: Oseamalibu.com Use code THEWORST for 10% off your first order -Quince: Quince.com/theworst for free shipping + 365-day returns -Ruggable: Ruggable.com Use code PATW for 10% off your first order -Shopify: Shopify.com/WORST for a $1/month trial Learn more about your ad choices.
