We exactly don’t have any details regarding his married life. Perhaps, his wife and children are living a peaceful life in Pennsylvania. 

Whatsoever, Tom did a great job of not letting the innocent leaving the rest of his life inside the prison. When Walter was released from jail after spending 23 years in a Philly murder, he felt relaxed and tired too. 

Nevertheless, Walter wrote a letter to his wife. It reads, “We all made out,” regarding the leniency, he and the other informant received in their own pending criminal cases.

Besides, Barbara’s parents, John Fahy (stepfather) and Sharon Fahy (mother) want the criminal to be arrested and justice to her daughter. She said in a statement, two families have already been destroyed.

She wanted Mr. Walter to be out of prison immediately. She never wants an innocent person to suffer.
