On February 17, 1974, just past midnight in Fort Worth, Texas, 12-year-old Jim Walker is jolted awake by the sound of screeching tires in his front yard. He sees Rodney McCoy, his sister Carla’s boyfriend, stumbling toward the Walkers front door—badly hurt and covered in blood. But, one thing is immediately clear: 17-year-old Carla is nowhere to be found. This night marks the beginning of Jim’s nearly half-century-long battle to get justice for his sister and finally take down a serial killer hiding in plain sight.
