Bodies Falling from the Sky: John Walker's Deadly Aviation Fraud

from True Crime Cases You Haven't Heard · host Steve Rhode | Host of the True Crime Podcast

John Walker's aviation fraud is one of the deadliest true crime cases we've  covered. He built "Frankenstein helicopters" from crashed remains, bribed an FAA inspector, and ran 48 shell companies from Guam—while pilots kept dying.  Built from 3,070 pages of federal court documents, this episode reveals how Walker's scheme killed 10 pilots, including one who died during his own trial. He's now serving 405 months in federal prison.                               Court documents are sent exclusively to subscribers when episodes drop—subscribe at https://truecrimeunheard.com/subscribe so you don't miss future case files.
