Walker was found dead inside a home in May 2023. Her cause of death hasn&#8217;t been released.<\/p>\n<p>Kentucky State Police announced Tuesday afternoon that investigators arrested 22-year-old Kimberly Walton and 39-year-old Edet Wettee in connection with Walker&#8217;s death. According to Kentucky State Police, Wettee was Walker&#8217;s husband, and Walton was an &#8220;acquaintance&#8221; of Wettee.<\/p>\n<p>Both suspects are from Cincinnati and are currently incarcerated there, awaiting extradition. They are both charged with murder.<\/p>\n<p>When officers arrested Wettee, he had a &#8220;juvenile child&#8221; with him. That child, who police said is Walker&#8217;s biological child, is now in the custody of the State of Ohio. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Police found Walker&#8217;s remains inside the home. The case was initially classified as a death investigation as investigators worked to determine her cause of death.<br \/>\nSource: WDRB<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31,"featured_media":13678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44722","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-archive","entry"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p6aKAp-bDk","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/police-handcuff-badge-2.jpg?fit=701%2C281&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44722","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/31"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44722"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44722\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44723,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44722\/revisions\/44723"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13678"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44722"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44722"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wvih.com\/wp1\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44722"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
