Detailed Accounts of the Crimes

Tommie Lou Whiddon

On March 26, 1985, 19-year-old Tommie Lou Whiddon was sunbathing on Okaloosa Island when Walls attacked her. He slit her throat, leaving her to die on the beach. At the time, Walls was performing community service in the area for prior offenses, including cruelty to animals and voyeurism.

Cynthia Sue Condra

On September 16, 1986, 24-year-old Cynthia Sue Condra, a mother of three, was found brutally murdered. She had been stabbed 21 times and her body was left in a wooded area off Lewis Turner Boulevard. Walls later confessed to this heinous act, revealing the violent nature of his crimes.

Audrey Gygi

Between late Tuesday, May 19, and early Wednesday, May 20, 1987, 47-year-old Audrey Gygi was stabbed to death in her trailer on Duval Street in Ocean City. Her residence was located just a block away from where Alger and Peterson would be killed later that summer. Walls pleaded no contest to her murder in 1994, further highlighting his violent spree during that period.

Edward K. Alger Jr. and Ann Peterson

On July 22, 1987, Walls committed a double homicide that would lead to his initial arrest and conviction. He entered the trailer of 21-year-old Edward K. Alger Jr., an Eglin Air Force Base airman, and his 20-year-old girlfriend, Ann Peterson, on Jackson Street in Ocean City. Walls slashed Alger's throat and then shot him multiple times. He then shot Peterson execution-style to eliminate any witnesses. This brutal act marked the end of his killing spree and led to his arrest on July 24, 1987. ...Read More
