Our local serial killer.....

A friend’s aunt was murdered by this POS, and we believe he may have tried to break into my wife’s truck at the beach one time.

Another co-worker was a neighbor of his and got into an argument with him and soon found a rattlesnake in his mailbox................

Two monster questions:
1 - Given the evidence, how in blazes did the FL Sup. Ct. overturn the conviction?
2 - Why in hades has it taken so long to get to the execution?

OKALOOSA COUNTY, Fla. (WMBB) – Governor Ron DeSantis signed the death warrant on Tuesday for Frank Athen Walls.

Walls is being executed for the July 22, 1987, murders of 20-year-old Eglin Air Force Base airman Edward K. Alger and his 22-year-old girlfriend Ann Louise Peterson.

Walls broke into their mobile home in Ocean City, tied them up with curtain cords, then killed them. He slashed Alger’s throat, then shot him three times.

Walls assaulted Peterson, then shot her twice in the head. He then stole Alger’s wallet, cleaned up, and went to a strip club where he spent Alger’s money.

Authorities consider Walls to be a serial killer.

Walls was 17 years old when he committed his first murder on Okaloosa Island.

On March 26, 1985, walls spotted 19-year-old junior college student Tommie Lou Whiddon sunbathing. He cut her throat and left her to bleed to death on the beach.

On September 16, 1986, Wall stabbed 24-year-old Cynthia Sue Condra 21 times and left her body on the side of a road in the Wright community.

On May 20, 1987, Walls broke into the mobile home of 47-year-old waitress Audrey Gygi in Fort Walton Beach, raped her, and then stabbed her to death.

After he was convicted of killing Alger and Peterson, Walls pleaded no contest to killing Gygi in exchange for avoiding trial, and he admitted to killing Whiddon and Condra in exchange for the state not prosecuting.

Walls’ execution date is now set for Thursday, December 18th at 6 p.m. Eastern Time.

Signing the death warrant sets off a series of court appeals to prevent the state from putting walls to death.

Death penalty sentences should be carried out within 1 year. They should get all their appeals in one order before a court with review within 30 days. Then, be gone from the earth. And BTW, this lard ass was doing some great feeding at the trough. His head looks like a farm animal.

Why wait ‘til December 18th to carry out the sentence?

Do it now - and in a manner worthy of the way he committed his crimes.

Justice is slow nowadays.

My friend, whose aunt Walls raped and murdered, has since passed away.

He would be celebrating this day he waited for for so long. I will drink a toast to him on December 16th at 6 pm...................

He should have been put to death in 92, when he was found guilty for the second time. And no dragging it out, just put the piece of shite out of his misery.

My parents moved near this area in 1989 and it was still big news then. About time this trash is taken out.

“He didn’t miss any meals...”

I spent a few years in my church’s prison ministry. In that time I got pretty familiar with the average inmate diet. Lots of carbs like pasta and ramen and light on protein.

And then it’s primarily chicken.

Plus the fact he’s on death row, time outside his cell to exercise is very limited.

I lived in FWB and remember the Whiddon murder well. It was pure, gratuitous evil. This POS should have been put down many years ago.

There are a few other murders that he is assumed to have done but no compelling evidence. Remember all these murders were done as a TEENAGER.

On September 16, 1986, Wall stabbed 24-year-old Cynthia Sue Condra.......She picked him up hitch-hiking.....

On May 20, 1987, Walls broke into the mobile home of 47-year-old waitress Audrey Gygi in Fort Walton Beach, raped her, and then stabbed her to death.......My friend’s aunt.

Also he’s suspected of a murder of a woman in a Miramar condo ...
