On February 17, 1974, seventeen-year-old Carla Walker was abducted from the parking lot of a west Fort Worth, Texas bowling alley. She and her boyfriend, Rodney McCoy had stopped to use the restrooms.

Around midnight, she and Rodney were sitting in his car when the door was jerked open and Carla was dragged from the car. Rodney grabbed her, but was hit over the head with a pistol. The man struggling with Carla told Rodney, "I'm going to kill you."

Knocked unconscious by the blow to his head, Rodney awoke to find Carla gone. With blood streaming down his face, he drove the few short blocks to the home of Carla's parents to report the crime.

On February 20, 1974, Carla's body was found under a culvert, near Benbrook Lake, a few miles from her home. She had been raped and strangled.
