    Episode 187: The Murder of Emma Walker

    As all news does in a high school, rumors of what happened to bright, beautiful, athletic Emma Walker spread like wildfire. Some said that she had died by suicide, but most couldn’t believe that. Her life was perfect. She had a great boyfriend, she was a cheerleader, and had a close circle of friends. It just didn’t seem like it could be true. But if Emma Walker did not harm herself, it meant that something far more sinister happened…that someone had wanted to hurt her. Now that didn’t sound too far from the truth because in the days prior to her death odd things had been happening to the 16 year old girl.  Patreon: Patreon.com/truecrimecouple Don’t forget to send your listener stories to truecrimecouple@gmail.com Sponsors: Miracle Made Go to TryMiracle.com/TCC and use the code TCC to claim your FREE 3 PIECE TOWEL SET and SAVE over 40% OF Sources: https://www.wbir.com/article/news/local/teen-dating-violence-red-flags-from-someone-who-lived-through-it/51-f28f6a14-dbd7-4f0c-bca4-47cd37f7c435 (talking about relationship - mom) https://www.newspapers.com/image/777866500/?match=1&terms=emma%20walker https://www.newspapers.com/image/777847139/?match=1&terms=emma%20walker https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/crime/2018/05/02/william-riley-gaul-trial-witnesses-detail-staged-kidnapping-before-central-high-cheerleader-slain/570824002/ Google view of the home: https://www.google.com/maps/@36.0364202,-83.9765422,3a,75y,159.82h,86.13t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1saCY5BTqOUoBf2DIMyKFr_g!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DaCY5BTqOUoBf2DIMyKFr_g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D159.82049548311872%26pitch%3D3.868277855724372%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu If you or someone you know is suffering from domestic violence help is available Speak with someone today 800-799-7233 or text BEGIN to 88788 National Domestic Violence Hotline Languages: English, Spanish and 200+ through interpretation service Hours: 24/7
