What happens when the father you thought you knew becomes a stranger?
In 1965, Walter Dunning Powell III became a father for the third time at age 47. An artist living a quiet, genteel life in Columbia County, New York, he seemed like any other devoted parent. But the man I called Dad was hiding something far darker than I could have imagined.
This is Father and Son — a true crime podcast that follows my journey to uncover the truth about my father’s past. What began with small inconsistencies and nagging questions spiraled into a revelation that would shatter everything I thought I knew: a past that included abandoned families, wartime heroism, a sensational murder trial that captivated a nation, and another murder that was carefully covered up.
I’m your host, and this is my story — the complicated, troubling, and ultimately shocking truth about Walter Dunning Powell III.
