I can't believe they took the result of the lie detector as definitive ,and didn't get a warrant to search his address.

The initial police investigation was incompetent and frankly negligent.

There's a reason lie detectors are not allowed in court. I cannot believe they let this man go because he beat a lie detector test🤬

So glad they caught this deranged sick monster before he passed. And no WAY she was the only one. This POS has a LOT more secrets.

Detectives Wagner and Bennett were able to identify Carla Walker's murderer as seventy-seven-year-old Glen Samuel McCurley Jr. The DNA profile had led them to three McCurley brothers, and they were able to determine that Samuel McCurley had been the killer.<br><br>Shortly after Carla's murder in 1974, the police had brought in McCurley for questioning. He had been a person of interest, and the police had wanted to talk to him, because he'd lived only a mile away from the bowling alley where Carla was abducted. Shortly before the teen went missing, McCurley had purchased a .22 Ruger pistol — and his weapon used the same kind of magazine that the murderer had dropped at the bowling alley. But McCurley had told the police that although he had owned that weapon, it was no longer in his possession. He claimed that his wife had taken the truck to visit some family six weeks prior, and that the gun had been stolen from the vehicle. The date that the gun was allegedly stolen coincided with Carla's disappearance. He explained to the police that the reason why he hadn't reported the gun's disappearance, was because he was an ex-con, who had previously been jailed on car theft charges.

I have always known that lie detector doesnt really work. I wish they investigated him further.

They must have known it was him. I can't believe they didn't even search his house back then. Maybe he had strong ties to the town.
