Glen McCurley 1974 Cold-Case Murder of 17-Year Old Carla Walker Full Police Interrogation

MCurley was a person of interest in the 1974 slaying but detectives said there wasn't enough evidence to tie him to the case 46 years ago.

Texas company used a new forensic process to create a full DNA profile of the suspect from evidence pulled off the victim's clothing -- only partial profiles were obtained before.

A Tarrant County Grand Jury has indicted a 77-year-old man in connection with a cold case that went unsolved for nearly half a century.

Glen Samuel McCurley was indicted on a charge of capital murder for his role in the death of Carla Jan Walker, a 17-year-old Western Hills High School junior who was kidnapped and murdered in 1974.

According to police, Walker was abducted, held captive, and sexually assaulted before being murdered and left in a ditch after a Valentine's Day dance.

Investigators alleged that McCurley snatched Walker from the passenger seat of her boyfriend's car in a bowling alley parking lot.

Walker's boyfriend, Rodney McCoy, told police that a man pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him before something hit him in the head, knocking him unconscious.

McCoy told police he later woke up to find Walker was gone and blood coming from his head.

Walker's body was found three days later in a culvert near Benbrook Lake. Police said she had been beaten, raped, strangled, and tortured alive for two days after her disappearance.

DNA evidence recovered from clothing and a bra worn by Walker on the night she was killed was sent to Othram, a private lab in The Woodlands.

The DNA profile created at Othram was used to narrow the search to three brothers with the last name McCurley.

According to police, Glen Samuel McCurley had been identified as a person of interest during the initial investigation in 1974 because he owned a gun, a .22 Ruger, that matched a magazine found at the crime scene.

Detectives spoke to McCurley during the initial investigation, but they did not pursue McCurley again following the 1974 interview until the DNA profile match was found in GEDMATCH.

Police collected trash from a bin in front of McCurley's residence in July of 2020, and they were able to determine that the items matched the male DNA profile found on Walker's clothing.

On Sept. 10, 2020, police said they returned to McCurley's home and spoke to both him and his wife, during which time McCurley told the same story that he told detectives in 1974. He said he didn't kill anyone and did not know Carla Walker.

McCurley agreed to provide a DNA sample, and six days later, police said they were notified the swabs matched the DNA found on Walker's bra.

A warrant for capital murder was then obtained and McCurley was taken into custody without incident. Jail records showed McCurley was being held in the Tarrant County Jail on a charge of capital murder with bond set at $100,000.

During a news conference, detectives with the Fort Worth Police Department said they believe the assault and murder were random and that Walker and McCurley didn't know each other.

Police said it appears that over the last four decades, McCurley led a relatively normal life, was married, and had two children. Police also said that McCurley is not a suspect in any other crimes.

Mother Buried 5-Year Old Son in Backyard Charged W/ Murder | Interrogation of Larissa Rodriguez

Mother Buried 5-Year Old Son in Backyard Charged W/ Murder | Interrogation of Larissa Rodriguez

Mother Buried 5-Year Old Son in Backyard Charged W/ Murder | Interrogation of Larissa RodriguezThe mother of a 5-year-old whose body was found in a west side backyard earlier this week has been charged with murder. Here's what led up to the charges against 34-year-old Larissa Rodriguez: A phone call to police from Pakistan regarding a missing 5-year-old named Jordan Rodriguez who had possibly been buried in a backyard by his mother and her boyfriend. The call brought authorities to their home on the 1360 block of West 80th Street on Dec 18.In the call, the man, who said he is in the Air Force and was overseas in Pakistan, told dispatchers that his brother confessed to burying a child in the backyard of his home with his girlfriend after she found the boy unresponsive."It's kind of messed up, the whole situation, but my brother told me something and I just can't sleep at night," he said. "I feel like I need to tell you something."Investigators converged on the woman's home on Monday night. Police searched the house and backyard but didn't find anything. The mother was taken into custody. Police returned the next day.Cleveland police returned to the house with a warrant and were joined in their investigation by the FBI, Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office and the Cleveland Police Scientific Investigation Unit. Authorities started digging in the backyard of the home and human remains consistent with those of a young child were found buried.Inhumane living conditionsAn affidavit filed Dec. 19 from the Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services described the house as "deplorable and unsanitary" and filled with rats and cockroaches. One of Rodriguez's children was seen eating a sandwich with cockroaches in it, according to court documents.Five children — ages 1 to 12 — were removed from the home when the mother was taken into custody. The affidavit said the children were in "immediate danger" because of the conditions in the home and the investigation involving the mother.A neighbor, who said she was good friends with Rodriguez, gave a different account of the woman's parenting abilities. Genny Lopez described the woman as an "awesome mom" and said she didn't believe the stories she was hearing about possible abuse. The mother's storyWhen police originally questioned Rodriguez about the tip they received and the whereabouts of the 5-year-old, she told them the child's aunt had picked up Jordan and taken him to visit his father in Texas on Dec. 2.Rodriguez told police the boy "has special needs and is unable to speak."She was unable to provide a phone number, address or way to contact the boy's father. According to the police report, she referred to Jordan's father as a "donor" who she met on Facebook. Family members told News 5 she had several "donors," and there were multiple men who she met online that later fathered individual children of hers.A history with children and family servicesAccording to Cuyahoga County Division of Children and Family Services, Rodriguez has nine children including Jordan. Her first encounter with the agency happened when she was 15 and was taken from her parent's custody in 1998.Court records show her parents had allowed Rodriguez and her child to live with her abusive boyfriend, who left "bruises and contusions" on her after a domestic violence incident. Documents state the teen's parents were "overwhelmed with the care of their children" and were "unwilling to protect the child."Years later, two of Rodriguez's children were permanently taken from her custody, including a son who was adopted by another family in 2005. According to documents from children and family services, a neglect complaint was filed four days after the child was born on April 3, 2003. A failed systemAna Rodriguez, the sister of the mother in custody, blamed children and family services for not stepping in sooner or following up on tips about the conditions in which the woman's children lived.Rodriguez said she called the agency multiple times about the family, but nothing was ever done.The documents also stated the corpse "exhibited multiple signs of abuse, including broken ribs."Larissa Rodriguez was charged with murder for "purposely causing the death" of her son Jordan.police interrogations,interrogation,interrogations,full length interrogations,interrogation videos,murder interrogations,interrogation confession,police interviews,police interview,confessions,murder confession,true crime,documentary,films,non-fiction,documentaries,crime,real stories,crime documentary,true,full length documentary,jcs inspiredBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-cheating-stories-2025--5953081/support.
