Walter Hinton was 47 when he was murdered on November 16, 1994, in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. While Hinton slept, Bowles allegedly attacked him, dropping a concrete block on his head, manually strangling him, and stuffing toilet paper and a rag into his mouth and throat.

Bowles was arrested soon after Hinton’s murder and confessed to multiple killings, including Hinton’s. The case drew attention because several victims were gay men who had offered or accepted temporary housing from the killer. Does anyone have additional details about Hinton’s life or the circumstances around that night that could help document his story?
