At 19, Winston Walters became a rising star after wrestling catfish on television. Then he was convicted of an unspeakable crime. A decade later, fans rallied around his innocence—and a strange offer arrived that might change everything.⁠
⁠
For Slate, veteran crime journalist Wes Ferguson spent months speaking to Walters, his supporters, and the victims to learn what really happened that night and how the parties involved were dealing with the aftermath, 13 years later. 🔗 To get the full story, visit the link in bio. by @wesoftexas

Recently in Austin. An incredible time with the @thisiscollinshouse @thisiscollins team at Ranch Night and a day of full on Americana discussions at the legendary @arlynstudios.

Could have talked for days with @wesoftexas and @jameswadewriter.

I saw a post recently about the Riches in the Niches. This was that.

The 50th anniversary of the notorious 1974 Huntsville, Texas, prison siege is going on right now through August 3. The takeover was orchestrated by San Antonio drug kingpin Fred Gomez Carrasco, a fascinating, complicated, murderous, and ultimately tragic figure. Get STANDOFF, my 10-episode series about Carrasco and the siege, wherever you listen to podcasts. #texas #texashistory taken in Huntsville, Texas by @wesoftexas

It’s been almost a year since Laura and I opened our land for campers on @hipcamp. There’s still no water, power, or shelter out there. Just a lot of dust, wind, ocotillo, and one of the best views in Texas. It’s always fun to see how campers leave their mark on the property. One kind soul took it upon himself to make a sign for our gate, helping others find the place. Another camper built a wind break for a fire pit. Everyone has been so respectful, too. There was not a speck of trash for me and @matt_tumlinson to pick up when we visited over the weekend. Life is good for the Good Guad Land Co! #GoodGuad taken in Guadalupe Mountains National Park by @wesoftexas
