Alleged Kidnapper Walters Freed in Louisiana Case
New Orleans, La Willam G Walters once convicted as the kidnapper of little Bobby Dunbar and sentenced to life imprisonment has had the conviction set aside by the Louisiana Supreme Court. He plans to fight for the child he claims was given him by Julia Anderson and seeks $26,000 in restitution for his defense costs. The ruling frees him from further prosecution under the act of his conviction but he may be retried under another act. A pending AG conference will decide if a second high court hearing is sought.
