As a young child this future writer grew interested in T.V. crime stories and mystery dramas(Perry Mason & Alfred Hitchcock) and later the Kojak series following the shooting death of his beloved father in the Arkansas-Mississippi Delta region.

The case remains unsolved.

Obessessed to learn about the criminal mind, police techniques and homicide investigations in hope that someday the experience could be used to dig up clues to solve his father's death, Walker began a career in crime reporting.

He developed experience with homicide investigations as a Houston-based correspondent for True crime(detective magazines) in 1983. Walker wrote hundreds of feature stories about murder investigations, serial killers, unsolved murders and organize crime for the magazines until the company ceased publication in 1995.

Between 1999-2003, Walker earned the opportunity to work as a associate story producer . He provided Court T.V. cable network show the exclusive background material on a talented Houston artist who vowed to become the youngest serial killer in U.S. history.

A&E(American Justice) cable show used Walker's superb research skills to produce information on an episode that A&E aired about a sensational Texas execution, titled: Dead Woman Walking...the Karla Faye Tucker story.

Facing a long prison term Gomez skipped bail and fled to Mexico where authorities captured her years later and extradited her back to Texas. She is serving four concurrent 20-year prison terms.
