GUILTY TX - Sarah Walker, 40, stabbed to death in McKinney model home, 8 July 2006

[Scout]

I thought he said that they sat at the table waiting for the little boy to wake up and that is when she told him about dating 2-3 men that only wanted to sponge off of her money?

I just cant see a motive at all for the ex to do this.

They were divorced.
Their child lived with him.
He had a girlfriend.
He also is in the same type of business so he sure had ample money I would think.
She called "him" to come pick her up from the hospital when she was hit over the head.

So he says.

It's been 11 days and we've learned nothing. Odd? There's got to be some reason LE is keeping this one so close to the vest. It must be they don't need any help from the public!

I can tell you that there is VERY LITTLE information on the Dallas news at night. I get more information from Greta' show.

In my opinion, the arrest of Sarah's ex-husband, Randy Tate, is imminent. He's much too concerned with establishing an alibi and collecting money. His account of his activities of that day doesn't make sense. At this point, he is the only source for the allegations that she was seeing younger men. Whether she was or not, I can see plenty of motive in his statements about it. I think the guy's got GUILT written all over him, and I bet the police do, too. They're just waiting on the forensics to make an arrest.

He is? Even in Sarah's own personal webpage on the Millionaire site she lists men between the ages of 20 to 50 years old.

His account does make sense. He said he played golf it takes around 4 hours to play 18 holes of golf...I am sure this has already been verified. He said he met friends there so I would think it was a foursome that played.

I have seen nothing that says he is the one. What in the world would his motivation be? He was divorced...he had a girlfriend...he had his child and he had money of his own.

So he says.

That can be easily verified Scout...Sarah talked with friends and family about the entire ordeal. I am sure she told them that he came to get her and take her home.

Cut from the article posted on the previous page from the Dallas Morning News:

"Ms. Walker showed up to work with a black eye one day in late 2004, said a former co-worker who declined to be identified. She never said how she got it.
A year later, her marriage fell apart. Ms. Walker filed for divorce and moved into a nearby apartment while Mr. Tate remained in the house."


Well, that's interesting but then again an accident could also cause a black eye, doesn't have to be from a domestic dispute.

He was done playing golf before Sarah was murdered.

How do we know that Sarah set up those dating profiles?

I don't believe much Randy Tate has said. He claims that he let their son spend an extra night with his mother. Why? Sarah obviously had to work the next day. He claims that he went to pick the boy up at 7:30 am and woke Sarah up by ringing her doorbell. That doesn't make sense. If he had arranged to let their son spend an extra night, wouldn't they have agreed upon a time. He indicates that he and Sarah had an amicable conversation that morning, discussing a mysterious Rolex watch in her bathroom and her alleged habit of dating younger men. I'm not buying that. More likely, it was a heated argument that caused Randy to become so enraged as he stewed about it throughout the remainder of the morning that he tracked her down at work, beat her up and stabbed her to death. But that's just speculation on my part.

 

[Scout]

BTW, what is it with wife-murderers and a morning on the golf course, anyway?

 

[scandi]

Reading another site, I am surprised to see so many suspicious of Mr. Tate. It involves his comments on Greta, and he said his mother called him with the news, but his cell phone was in the car and there were a bunch of messages from friends calling about Sarah. But then instead of calling 911, he went to the model home.

Gee, I might do the same thing if I just learned my ex had just been found murdered.

i was reading at another site where some thought that maybe this was the doings of her 15 yr old son, for the money.....

i too have read that a lot are suspicious of Mr Tate also....i just don't see it though....like Ocean, what's the motivation???

LOL Well neither OJ or Scott Peterson were really playing golf. .let see if this guy was.

I think that is limiting his kill time into a tiny box .

Maybe the little boy had played hard the day he was at Sarah's and he fell asleep and she called to ask could he just sleep there and he could pick him up in the morning. Seems to me to be a very relaxed atmosphere between the two them.

The 27 stab wounds and the massive struggle doesn't mesh to me. A man could subdue a petite woman much quicker than running around trying to catch her as they said she had defensive wounds in her front and back torso.

Why do you think that exes cant have a very cordial relationship after they split up?

In his interview with GVS, Randy gives much too long and detailed an answer in response to the question about how he learned of his wife's death. He's overly concerned about establishing his whereabouts throughout that day, from the time he picked up his son, to the time of Sarah's murder, to the time and his whereabouts when he learned of her murder. His story about a silver and gold Rolex watch -- which, incidentally, happens to be just like his own -- in Sarah's bathroom (and her alleged comments about it) is suspiscious, too, IMO. All in all, he's just way too concerned about going into detail at this stage. He strikes me as someone trying to lead the investigation in the direction he wants it to go -- namely, away from himself.



I've been wrong before, too.

IMO, considering that the first person(s) the LE usually suspects of a crime is the husband, ex-husband, and/or the boyfriend, I assume that the Ex WOULD like to establish his whereabouts in as great of detail as he can so he can be eliminated and free the LE to look for a more viable suspect.

Regardless of what some people think of LE these days, I will assume (and this is my choice) that the LE is competent enough to know how to check out someone's alibi...

 

[scandi]

Hot emotion! I don't know, but there is starting to be a lot of talk going around that is really chit chat I think. He was still in love with her is one thing, and the comments from her sister have drawn comments as odd. She alludes to this. Then someone says, hey, what about his new fiance? Her two times getting bumped on the head, once going to the office with a black eye. It could be someone was out to get her, but it is way to early to start thinking about that as the only thing we have in this regard are comments from her sister. Are those comments here? I'll look.

So I try to put all that out of my brain, but am good and ready for a comment or two from the police. Were the stab wounds pre or post mortem. Maybe Nancy Grace will cover a bit of this tonight. I know she's covering Scott Dyleski tonight, so at least it is a show covering crimes and not the Middle East war!

Well if it was already known why would he call 911? I am like you Scandi......nothing could stop me from going to the scene.....even if it was my ex-husband as we are still very close friends.

A year later, her marriage fell apart. Ms. Walker filed for divorce and moved into a nearby apartment while Mr. Tate remained in the house.

She got the Mercedes and Jaguar, divorce records show. He got the Harley, Yukon and four-wheeler. She also absorbed the debt on nine credit cards, including several from luxury stores.

exactly, Ocean....it appears to me that Mr Tate didn't need her money at all....

Pure and simple...Rage. Just like OJ.

in OJ's case, IMO, that was jealous rage...if he couldn't have Nicole Brown, no one could....

 

[concernedperson]

I don't see a 15 year old with rage yet. Not that he couldn't be a serial in the making but it is too soon to act out. They are still killing animals at this point.

It isn't the same as the Columbine murders when it is personal. But, people surprise me daily. Scott Dyleski comes to mind. So the gloves are off.

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Yes it seems to be a rage overkill but what is very unclear is WHO?

It certainly could be someone known to her or knew about her. It also could be another psychopath like Scott Dyleski that overkills their victim.
