*Motions Hearing (re Bond) (@ 11am CT) - TX – Carla Jan Walker (17) (missing Feb. 17, 1974, Fort Worth, found Feb. 20, 1974 near Lake Benbrook, stuffed in an enclosed cement culvert) - *Glen Samuel McCurley (31 @ time of crime/77) arrested & charged (9/21/20) with capital murder. $100K bond. (another article says $500K bond). Confessed to crime.
DNA-genetic profile match. DNA evidence recovered from clothing and a bra worn by Walker on the night she was killed was sent to Othram, a private lab in The Woodlands which uncovers genetic identities "through DNA, rootless hair and decades-old bones" and were able to develop a full DNA profile of a potential suspect.
Was abducted on the night of Feb. 17, 1974, outside a west side Fort Worth bowling alley. She was dragged from the front seat of her boyfriend’s car by an unknown adult male, who hit the boyfriend over the head with a pistol, knocking him cold. When the boyfriend awoke, Walker was gone. He drove several blocks to Walker’s home to report the abduction. Walker’s body was found 3 days later in a culvert near Benbrook Lake. Police say she was beaten, raped & strangled, tortured alive for two days after her disappearance. Then there was a puzzling discovery. The medical examiner ruled that the killer injected her with morphine.
