Just saw this case in another thread. Was wondering how old McCurley is? Have not seen it any of the articles that were posted.

I looked on Tarrant County, but he is not in the court system yet.

If anyone sees a date for appearance in court - please post.

I'll be following this one.

From posts I’ve been seeing, he was 33 at the time.

77 years old according to public records.

Yes - I saw that on the FB page that was linked. So he was 31 back in 1974. Depending upon "when" his birth date is.

Fort Worth police make arrest in cold-case murder that has remained unsolved for 46 years

The case has remained unsolved but regained interest from the public and investigators last year when a handwritten letter with information related to the case was mailed to a Fort Worth detective.

No other information about the arrest was immediately available.

Oops, saw this was already answered.

Does his bond mean he can get a bondsman to get him out for only 10K?

Unless there are any special conditions that aren't viewable by the public(such as requiring an ankle monitor) then yep, if someone in his family has 10k and wants to bail him out then they can.

FWPD news conference:
According to a police jail log, the 77-year-old suspect is Glen McCurley, who is in a holding facility facing a capital murder charge. That’s all the information they have made public at the moment, but they have scheduled a news conference for 3 p.m. to provide more information.

I saw that on fb too not much info on it though. Here's a screenshot.

Idk if this is against the rules, but in the group, a screenshot was shared of a person arrested today for capital murder. They’re also saying the person confessed.

I am so thankful that Carla's family will finally get the closure they deserve. I am local to the area, Carla was in the youth group at my Grandmothers church. My Grandmother was so relieved to hear of the arrest. I am very curious if he has any involvement in the 1974 disappearance of the "Fort Worth Trio", Mary Trlica, Lisa Wilson, and Julie Moseley:
Fort Worth Missing Trio - Wikipedia.

Their case and Carla's was always heavy on my heart.

MOO.

Thank you!

This was such a sad and terrifying murder. Two happy young people, out after a Valentine's Day dance, then violently attacked. Just a random attack by a dangerous stranger.
