0:00.0	Hello everybody and welcome to True Crime Time for Monday, February 16th, 2026, and I am Cindy Overton.
0:27.8	And Woody's not in the studio with me today. I know that we both have promised you apart from each other that we would be back in the studio together soon,
0:38.6	and I do not make promises that I will not keep. So I do promise that we will be back together
0:47.2	as soon as humanly possible. But I can tell you that we've got some great things going on behind the
0:59.4	scenes. I truly do not want to give anything away. I will hint that it is a forward progress and
1:10.0	a major, hashtag Justice 4 series.
1:14.3	And I'm going to leave it at that because I really think our lifers are going to, at least,
1:21.3	I got goosebumps as I said that.
1:23.1	I think that you will at least feel a little bit of a sigh of relief and it's somewhat

2:11.6	high school sweethearts at Western Hill High School in Fort Worth, Texas, attended their Valentine's Day dance.
2:20.2	And after the dance, the couple ended up at a nearby bowling alley when an assailant opened the car door.
2:29.0	This assailant bludgeoned Rodney and then abducted Carla.
2:34.5	Carla was found two days later, and she was bloody and she had been strangled.
2:40.6	Her murder remained unsolved until September of 2020.
2:46.7	So I'm looking up the case and it says that on February 16th that this happened, but
2:53.2	according to the internet, Glenn Samuel McCurley murdered 17-year-old Carla Jan Walker on February 17th of
3:06.0	1974.
