From Wikipedia:
In October 2010, it was revealed that Fox was developing a potential spin-off series [from 'Bones'] that would be built around a new recurring character that would be introduced in the sixth season. The potential spin-off series would also be created by 'Bones' creator/executive producer Hart Hanson, and be based on "The Locator" series of two books written by Richard Greener.

The character of Walter is described as an eccentric but amusing recluse in high demand for his ability to find anything. He is skeptical of everything—he suffered brain damage while overseas, which explains his constant paranoia—and known for asking offensive, seemingly irrelevant questions to get to the truth.

In the episode, Booth and Brennan travel to Key West, Florida, where the spin-off is said to take place. Nathan went on to say regarding the casting of character, "You want to find people you want to see every single week do one unique character. That's why when you have Hugh Laurie, who is essentially playing a very unlikable character, you love to see him. And that is a rare, rare quality to find. And the finder won't be an unlikeable character, but because it is a unique character, it's difficult to find just the right person." Geoff Stults was cast as the lead character with Michael Clarke Duncan and Saffron Burrows cast as the other two lead characters. The three characters were introduced in episode 19 of the sixth season.

In May 2011, it was revealed that Saffron Burrows would not appear beyond the backdoor pilot episode, leaving the series, because the network had decided to re-conceive the role. Mercedes Masohn and Maddie Hasson joined the cast as the two female leads. Masohn will play Isabel Zambada, a Deputy U.S. Marshal; and Hasson will play Willa, a second generation criminal who helps with their investigations.

As you can see from the description, the Walter Sherman - the Locator - from the Literary Universe could walk by the Walter Sherman - the Finder - of TV Land and they wouldn't recognize each other....
