Bedford City – Central Virginia Crime Stoppers

James Davis Walker – The Charley Project

<<A prison inmate told authorities that Walker's remains were buried on property owned by Adams in Bedford County. Investigators obtained a warrant and searched Adams's residence in early 2001. No evidence was discovered.

Walker resided in the 2700 block of Cool Springs Road in Thraxton, Virginia at the time of his disappearance. He is described as a generous man and had no known enemies, but his family believes he probably met with foul play. No arrests have been made in connection with his case, which remains unsolved.>>

Hoping someone will come forward with information so Mr. Walker can go home to his family.

I can see there’s a lot of activity on this thread which is good. I didn’t read everything, though I tend to look at the basic details and some commentary on cases to try and intuit patterns from known info. I am neurodivergent so sometimes I can hone in on ideas.

I would be interested to know about James Walker’s finances in the context of his disappearance. Did he owe money? Or did he have money? Not sure what records would be left if this is from 2000 but that would be interesting to know.

Otherwise the claim from the inmate about murder could be a red herring if James walked away and entered a wooded area due to cognitive decline.

Either angle would be potentially viable in my opinion.
