May 9, 2001: Son of a Grifter - Kent Walker


Listen Later

Kent Walker discusses growing up as the son of notorious grifter Sante Kimes and his experiences with his criminal mother. Walker recounts his childhood amid his mother's increasingly elaborate scams, thefts, and manipulation. The conversation explores the psychological impact of being raised by someone pathologically incapable of honesty or normal human connection. Walker describes his mother's progression from petty crime to serious felonies including murder. The discussion examines how Walker ultimately broke free from his mother's influence and cooperated with authorities. Walker shares insights into the criminal mind and the twisted logic that drives sociopathic behavior. The broadcast addresses questions about nature versus nurture in creating criminals. Walker discusses the emotional toll of testifying against his own mother and reconciling love for a parent with horror at their actions. The conversation explores Walker's process of building a normal life after an extraordinarily abnormal upbringing in a family built on deception and crime.
