Not likely -- these issues are civil matters that are notoriously difficult to enforce -- let alone litigate. Nonetheless, there's no evidence Dalton was involved in the death of his son-- I think he was likely a victim of Balboa too.
I'm just so angry about it. If Dalton didn't leave him with her where he didn't belong his little life wouldn't have been snuffed out. I didn't buy what he was selling in his interviews he gave. He etal should not get away with violating a court order. It's so messed up. MOO
I try to keep up!
So posting this early.
Go in peace and I hope you are enjoying yourself. We are not worthy of your consistent updates and keeping of the records Niner, but you are appreciated!Hello all!
I will be going on vacation starting Sunday Feb. 11th - and will try & keep up with all the cases I am following!

I'm with you @Seattle1 it's like these precious little ones are disposable garbage. It hurts my heart and fills me with rage at how anyone could treat such an innocent child this way, or animals or the elderly. The truly innocent and vulnerable of society.

The most recent MSM I could find citing the name Dylan Walker was two years after he was indicted for tampering/intent to impair or May 17, 2023-- reporting on TB's sentencing:
Dylan Ray Walker, 28, was also found with Samuel's remains in Jasper and was later charged with tampering with intent to impair. Authorities later discovered he had called in a tip to CrimeStoppers, which led police to the motel.
"This is not justice," Woman accused of killing boyfriend's 5-year-old son, tampering with body accepts plea deal
"She wanted less time," Sarah Olson, Samuel's mother said about Theresa Balboa. "She admitted to what she did…for 52 years and a chance of parole in 26. My son did not even get 6 years of life, and she still gets a chance at one?"www.fox26houston.com
I'm inclined to believe his charges dropped or he plead down-- using his tip which led to the discovery of TB and Samuel's body for leniency. MOO
ETA: Still no online criminal court records for Jasper County. Public can fill out criminal cover sheet records request and submit to the County Clerk for a fee.
