Wayne Anthony Walker was considered a suspect from the start.
Police in Philadelphia arrested a man and charged him with murder, kidnapping, and conspiracy on Friday, nearly four decades after an 18-year-old woman was found beaten to death near a railroad outside Philadelphia. Wayne Anthony Walker, age 58, was considered a suspect from the start in the murder of Denise Pierson and was interviewed multiple times since 1981. Walker and Pierson had attended a party the night she was killed.
Afterwards, Walker, Horne, and several others tied her up and brought her to the tracks, where they stabbed and beat her until she died. Her body, hidden in bushes, was not found for three years. Horne died in prison in 2013. Police reopened the case in 2018 and were able to make a breakthrough, a spokesperson said at a Friday press conference. Walker is in custody and has been denied bail.
