Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole Walter Rhodes leg injury thing I got myself into. It all started when I was just scrolling through my social media feed, and I saw a post mentioning something about Walter Rhodes and a gardening accident. Gardening accident! Can you believe it? I thought it was some kind of joke at first.
But then, I started digging a little deeper. I googled “Walter Rhodes leg injury” and, boy, oh boy, did I fall down a rabbit hole. It turns out, this Walter Rhodes guy was involved in some pretty serious stuff back in the day. I found out he was convicted for the killings of two police officers back in 1976. A Highway Patrol trooper and a Canadian constable. Heavy stuff, right?
So, I kept digging. I watched this episode of “I Almost Got Away with It” on Investigation Discovery that featured his case. They called it “Got to Escape with One Leg.” It was wild. He agreed to testify against some other guys involved in the crime to get a lighter sentence. Ended up getting paroled in 1994 after serving 18 years.
My Deep Dive
- Read about the case online.
- Watched the “I Almost Got Away with It” episode.
- Compared dates and details from different sources.
Honestly, I spent hours on this. I was going through old news articles, trying to piece together what happened. It felt like I was solving a real-life mystery. After I read and watched everything, I got a timeline of events.
The whole gardening accident thing is just so random. Like, how does someone go from that to being involved in such a serious crime? It’s just a crazy story. I couldn’t stop myself. It is very interesting to know about the history. The more I read, the more it is hard to believe.
