A 35-year-old woman found dead in a burned-up house in Spencer County on Memorial Day was murdered, according to police investigators, and two suspects are now in custody in connection with the killing.
Christiana A. Walker was found dead inside a home in May 2023. Her cause of death hasn’t been released.
Kentucky State Police announced Tuesday afternoon that investigators arrested 22-year-old Kimberly Walton and 39-year-old Edet Wettee in connection with Walker’s death. According to Kentucky State Police, Wettee was Walker’s husband, and Walton was an “acquaintance” of Wettee.
Both suspects are from Cincinnati and are currently incarcerated there, awaiting extradition. They are both charged with murder.
When officers arrested Wettee, he had a “juvenile child” with him. That child, who police said is Walker’s biological child, is now in the custody of the State of Ohio.
The investigation began just after 4 p.m. Monday, May 29, when Kentucky State Police troopers were called to a house fire on Chatman Lane, in Taylorsville.
Police found Walker’s remains inside the home. The case was initially classified as a death investigation as investigators worked to determine her cause of death.
