| https://hunt.house.gov/media/press-releases/immediate-release-rep-hunt-introduces-carla-walker-act | For Immediate Release: Rep. Hunt Introduces the Carla Walker Act | 2024-12-17 | 2024 | 2024-12 | Republican | House | TX | Wesley Hunt | H001095 | hunt.house.gov | hunt | https://hunt.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | This legislation is named after Carla Walker, who was abducted in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1974 before being found dead three days later. "This is an issue that transcends party lines and unites the American public. Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, the ability to identify perpetrators and prevent future crime is fundamental to ensuring the safety of our nation. Supporting innovative companies like this, based right here in Houston, Texas, is something I wholeheartedly stand behind," said Congressman Wesley Hunt. “46 years after Carla Walker’s tragic murder left her family desperately seeking answers, her killer was finally identified and brought to justice thanks to advanced FGG DNA analysis,” said Sen. Cornyn. “I’m proud to introduce this legislation in Carla Walker’s honor so that we can provide the resources needed to give more families in Texas and across the country the peace, healing, and resolution that comes through the power of a case solved.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
