Some cases linger in the minds of investigators long after the headlines fade. This Thursday, “Dateline Unforgettable,” hosted by Lester Holt, revisits one such case: the 1974 kidnapping and murder of 17-year-old Carla Walker. “After the Dance” takes viewers back to Fort Worth, Texas, where Carla’s disappearance after a Valentine’s Day dance sent shockwaves through the community.
Decades passed without answers, the case growing cold. But the pursuit of justice never truly ends. This episode highlights how cutting-edge DNA technology, combined with the relentless efforts of law enforcement, finally cracked the mystery, leading to the identification of Carla’s killer.
