Her family says the night she disappeared, there was some kind of fight or domestic incident.

Relatives say Walker would occasionally be gone for a few days but would check on her three children who would be in the care of family members.

But when they didn't hear from her for a while, they called authorities.

Grieving Family Of 27-Year-Old Mom Call Attention To Missing Indigenous Women


At the rally, Walker’s sister condemned the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office for not doing more to find Walker while she was missing. “Nobody talks about it anymore. The sheriffs don’t tell us nothing. Why wasn’t there more done?” Rodriguez said through tears.

The sheriff’s office told HuffPost that detectives spent “hundreds of hours” searching for Walker, calling the family’s criticisms “unwarranted.” Walker’s cause of death remains “undetermined.” The sheriff’s office hasn’t posted publicly about the investigation since August.


Rodriguez said her family’s next step will be to file a lawsuit against the sheriff’s office.

Has the family openly discussed the "fight or domestic incident"? Bessie's cousin was just arrested last week for stabbing his mom and stabbing and killing mom's boyfriend due to mental issues, this happened on the same property Bessie was found on.

Wow. Do you have a link to a MSM article about this? All I found was this but there are no names.

Edited to add: Oh, I found another article about it with names, and this article refers to his mental health issues. However, I don't see mention of the killer being related to Bessie.

Which family member found her?

 

[CrimeWOW1]

Bessie's mother is Ruth Beecher, sister to Patsy Beecher, the woman who was stabbed. Their homes are next to each other.
