Summary

In February of 1974, Carla Jan Walker was a 17 year-old high school junior living in Fort Worth, Texas. Carla was the epitome of the All-American girl, a cheerleader dating the quarterback of the football team who should have been the envy of every one of her peers, with her good grades and wholesome good looks, but Carla was also the kind of girl who smiled at everyone, who had a kind word for anyone she saw, and it was impossible to dislike her. The evening of February 16th, 1975 should have been a magical one for Carla, who had slipped into a floor length powder blue ball gown with delicate white lace trim to attend a Valentines Day dance at her high school, there would be a live band playing, the theme of the dance was "Love Is A Kaleidoscope", and the school gym would be decorated with paper hearts and pink streamers. Even better, she was going to be attending with her steady boyfriend, 18 year-old Rodney McCoy, and she had Rodney’s promise ring safely on her finger. But what started as a wonderful and romantic night, the kind Carla was sure she would one day recollect for the children that she and Rodney were sure to have, turned into a nightmare for Carla, for Rodney, for her family, and for every single person in her community.

0:00.0	Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow. And I'm Derek Lovacer.
0:17.6	So tonight we are diving into part two of the Carlo Walker case. But before we do, we
0:24.8	have some announcements. I think Derek had a couple points he wanted to touch on.
0:28.0	Not enough as announcements. But the first thing is definitely the first is definitely an
0:31.4	announcement. K cups completely sold out. Thank you guys so much for the support. If you're
0:35.8	already watched on crime weekly news, you already know about it. But for anybody listening
0:38.7	on audio who hasn't seen crime weekly news, we sold out completely. I'm ordering more. You guys
0:43.2	who've emailed me saying, Hey, can we get on a waiting list? I don't think there's going to be a
0:46.3	need for it. I'm ordering double what I ordered the last time. So there'll be about 3000 boxes
0:51.8	available when they come in. Could take anywhere from 30 to 45 days as a process where we have the
0:56.4	roast and grind the coffee, then we have to ship it off to Philadelphia. Then it gets, you know,
1:01.1	packaged and then I get it at the distribution center and then we can send it out as soon as it
1:04.9	comes in, I mentioned it on here and you know, we'll do like a post on social or whatever. But overall,
1:10.9	thank you so much for the support. I was saying on crime weekly news, we've been in business for
1:15.7	a little over a year now and we're just coming up on $10,000 raised for the criminal coffee fund.
1:21.4	So we wouldn't be able to do that without this and we wouldn't be able to do it without your
1:24.8	support. So thank you so much for that. We'll keep you in touch. The only other thing I had,
1:29.4	which I didn't expect to be a thing, but I have to go with the people, right? I'm always preaching
1:34.6	that we have to listen to our subscribers, our listeners to what they want, make adjustments.
1:39.5	Well, here's an adjustment I didn't see coming. The hair, the hairs of thing, Stephanie, you are
1:44.6	right. By popular demand, it's back. And I'm going to tell you right now, this is an easy win for
1:48.8	me. I was saying this Stephanie before we started recording literally just rolled out a bed,
