Crime Stories: Scoutmaster's Secret
Coming Soon

They believed and practiced the boy scout oath and carried out their promise to obey without question. These were the boys of troop 103.

When one eagle scout, Heath Stocks, brutally murdered his parents and sister, dirty secrets began to unravel that would be as horrific as the murders themselves.

What emerged was a secret world of sex, lies and deception and the leader of it all, was scout master Jack Walls, Lonokes man of the year. When one young boy blew the whistle on him, no one could believe it and therefore an investigation was swept under the rug.

It took years for the truth to come out; that Walls had been sexually molesting his scouts for years. Walls reeled them into his world, convincing them that he was the only person they could love and trust, and ultimately turning them against their families.

Heath Stocks was one of those boys and was in fact Walls' favourite. It took the murder of Heath's family for the real story to emerge. Today Walls is serving a life sentence plus 40 years without parole. Heath Stocks is serving three life sentences without parole.
