Today on LOTW, Becky and Bevy discuss the murder of Emma Walker.
In Knoxville, Tennessee, 17-year-old Emma Walker lived the kind of life that looked golden from the outside. An honors student and varsity cheerleader, she balanced school, sports, and friendships with the kind of energy people remembered. But on the morning of November 21, 2016, everything changed. Emma’s parents found her unresponsive in her bedroom, the silence so foreign it felt like a warning.
At first, confusion gripped the scene—no forced entry, no sign of struggle. Then detectives spotted a small hole in the wall near her bed. What unfolded next was a methodical homicide investigation that exposed chilling details surrounding her death.
