Summary

After the abduction and murder of Carla Walker in February of 1974, the police loosely theorized a possible connection to two prior unsolved homicides. These murders shared some similarities with Carla’s, one of which is the month that the crimes took place. The press seemed to be more enamored with the idea of a connection than police, or at least more than the police led on, and without hesitation dubbed the homicides “The February Slayings.” Mildred May fell first in this sequence of unsolved cases. This is her story. You can support gone cold podcast – texas true crime by visiting https://www.patreon.com/gonecoldpodcast. There you’ll also find an exclusive series available only to donors.
