Carla Walker was 17 when she disappeared from a Fort Worth bowling alley parking lot in 1974. Her family had to wait 46 years for investigators to identify the person responsible. The decisive clue was not newly discovered. It was a rape kit collected in 1974 and preserved until modern DNA testing could make sense of it. That evidence eventually pointed to Glen McCurley, a former acquaintance who had avoided suspicion for decades. This video follows the evidence from Carla's last known location to the DNA match, confession, and conviction. If you enjoy cold cases solved by overlooked forensic evidence, this investigation delivers a precise and deeply human mystery.
