Wally Stevens was an accountant who committed a string of murders in New York City.
History[]
A high-functioning autistic person, Wally spent years completely unaware that he had Asperger syndrome, but he found that he had incredible difficulty relating to other people, a difficulty which cost him his relationship with his wife and children. He would always appear at her house with flowers, asking when the family would come home. Because she left him for a man with money, Wally devised a scheme to take life insurance policies out on homeless men, only to murder them so he could collect the money.
When his partner-in-crime in the scheme, Jack Bernard, accidentally exposed them with a murder he committed on his own, Wally killed him to cover his own tracks, but this failed in the end. (CI: "Probability") Detective Robert Goren felt sympathy for him and helped get him move to a correctional facility in Philadelphia so he could be near his mother. Ironically, he became friends with serial killer Mark Ford Brady, who unbeknownst to him was Goren's biological father. (CI: "Endgame")
