Sky Crime look at more of The World’s Most Evil Killers

The ninth series returns to Sky Crime this week…

The World’s Most Evil Killers profiles the vilest murder cases in modern history over another ten-part run. In the first episode of the new series Sky Crime turns its attention to Glen McCurley.

McCurley escaped punishment for nearly 50-years from the date he inflicted a brutal rape and murder on Carla Jan Walker in 1974 and his being found guilty in 2021.

17-year-old Carla Jan Walker met her fate on February 17th, 1974, when she was kidnapped from a bowling alley parking lot in Fort Worth, Texas. Her body was discovered three days later in a drainage ditch, 30 minutes south of Fort Worth. Walker had been beaten, tortured, raped, and strangled to death.

The murder remained a cold case for 46 years until September 2020, when DNA evidence recovered from Walker’s clothing was sent for modern DNA testing, funded not by the police but by a television company. The DNA matched with Samuel McCurley, who was arrested for the murder and later found guilty with a sentence of life in prison.

His punishment however was short-lived. Having got away for decades with the crime, living a normal life, he died on July 15th, 2023.

Other morbid minds and crimes featured in 2025 include William Devin Howell, Michael Bruce Ross and Donald Henry Gaskins to note just a few.

The World’s Most Evil Killers returns on Tuesday, January 7th to Sky Crime and NOW at 9 pm
