In the summer of 2016, a grim discovery was made in Kansas City, Missouri, that marked the city's 61st homicide of the year. On the morning of Friday, August 5, 2016, the body of Demetrius V. Walker, a 43-year-old woman, was found behind a dumpster near the Temple of Faith Missionary Baptist Church at Agnes Avenue and East Gregory Boulevard. Workers with an engineering and consulting firm happened upon the scene at approximately 8 a.m. and immediately alerted the authorities.
Upon their arrival, Kansas City police officers found Walker's body showing signs of wounds and decomposition. The condition of her remains suggested that some time had passed since her death. The medical examiner's office was called to the scene to assist in the investigation. Law enforcement officials promptly began treating the case as a homicide investigation and started working with church officials as part of their inquiry.
Despite the initial investigation and the classification of her death as a homicide, publicly available information regarding any persons of interest, suspects, or arrests in the case of Demetrius V. Walker's death is not available. The circumstances surrounding her death and the events leading up to the discovery of her body remain unsolved, leaving a lingering mystery in the community. No further details about the investigation have been released to the public.
