Lives, The Albert Walker Story, performed at the Blyth Festival in Blyth, Ontario in 2000. The background behind Walker's arrest in England was featured in an episode called "The (Almost) Perfect Murder" in the documentary series Real Crime. In 2010 British soap opera Coronation Street aired a storyline that bore a striking resemblance to the Albert Walker/Ronald Platt murder, in which character John Stape, after being struck off the Teaching Register for kidnapping a school girl, steals the identity of a former colleague, Colin Fishwick, to once again gain employment as a teacher. Fishwick had emigrated to Canada, allowing Stape to freely assume his identity. But Fishwick chose to return to the UK, uncovering Stape's deception and ultimately dying during a confrontation with Stape. Although Stape was not directly responsible for Fishwick's death (Fishwick had been beaten savagely by another man just days before their confrontation and had succumbed to his injuries), Stape chose not to report the death. He knew he could easily be shown to have a motive for murdering Fishwick and buried his body in a construction site instead.
