Tyson driver, Kizzy Walker, murdered

Kizzy Richardson Walker tried to leave.

On Oct. 15 the day she disappeared she went to the DeSoto apartment she shared with her husband, Greg Walker, to pack her belongings. She no longer wanted to face her husband's death threats, which her family said she endured during six months of marriage.

"She should've never gone to the apartment to get her things," said Kizzy Walker's great-aunt, Mary Holloway. "She should've just walked away."

Two days later, Kizzy Walker's burned body was found on a rural road near Lake, Miss., about 50 miles east of the capital, Jackson.

Investigators believe that Kizzy Walker was killed in Texas and taken to east Mississippi, where her body was set on fire, Scott County (Miss.) Sheriff Mike Lee said.

DeSoto police charged her husband, Greg Walker, 38, with murder and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He was being held in the Dallas County Jail with bail set at $350,000.

Greg Walker's attorney could not be reached for comment late Thursday.

"He's a very, very dangerous man, period," Holloway said. "To want to take a person's life when all he had to do was get his things and go "

It wasn't like Kizzy Walker, 32, to abandon her job as a truck driver for Tyson Foods, her family members said. They grew suspicious and filed a missing-persons report with DeSoto police. The report eventually gave police the biggest lead in solving the case.

Will Jones, an investigator with the Scott County Sheriff's Department, said a partial fingerprint taken from the body matched the DeSoto missing-persons case and led to the arrest. Greg Walker was jailed last Friday, a week after his wife vanished.

In the days leading up to Kizzy Walker's death, her aunt Patricia Williams warned her niece about staying with her husband.

"I told her he won't change. He will not change," she said. "She was trying to get away from him. She was trying, she really was."

Services are pending.
