BENBROOK, Texas — This Christmas marks 50 years since Jim Walker lost his sister, Carla, whose tragic abduction, rape, and murder at just 17 years old went unsolved for decades.
In 2021, Carla’s killer was finally identified and convicted, thanks to groundbreaking advances in DNA technology. Now, Jim Walker is channeling his grief into action, championing the Carla Walker Act—a proposed federal law that would fund advanced DNA analysis to solve cold cases nationwide.
Jim hopes this legislation will bring long-overdue justice and answers to countless families still searching for closure, turning heartbreak into hope this holiday season and beyond.
