Episode Seven - Walter Lamar

FBI Agent
5

Walter Lamar was teaching shop at Browning High School when two FBI agents showed up to ask why he hadn’t completed the application he picked up from them a few months earlier. This visit changed the trajectory of Walter’s life in a big way as, over the next twenty years, he worked on such cases at the Green River Killer, The Zodiac Killer, and most importantly, the events in Waco and the Oklahoma City Bombing. But surprisingly, that was not the moment he treasures most during his long and distinguished career.

After retiring from the FBI, Lamar worked for the Department of the Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and he currently serves on the board emeritus for Native Forward and the National Native American Hall of Fame. He is also an avid photographer.
