Crimes that are so diabolical that they seem like almost fiction. Based on real events, Almost Fiction is a Podcast where we try to imagine what it was like when some of the worst crimes occurred. Using facts, reports, and evidence, we attempt to reconstruct what the crime scenes might have looked like as the crimes were happening. So, join us each week as we peek behind the curtain at some of the worst scenes from some of the worst crimes ever committed. I’m Chase Ellerman, and welcome to… Almost Fiction.

Frank Athen Walls

Description:

In 1967, Frank Athen Walls was born blue, a medical condition that would mark the beginning of a troubled life.

By 19, he became one of America's youngest serial killers, leaving a trail of victims across Florida's beaches and neighborhoods.

This episode explores his descent from a struggling teen to death row inmate, through the heartbreaking stories of Tommie Lou Whiddon, Cynthia Condra, Audrey Gygi, and the double homicide of Edward Alger and Ann Peterson.

It’s a haunting examination of mental illness, justice, and the lives forever changed by a young man's brutal choices.

Welcome back to another episode of Almost Fiction.
