A welfare check on August 13, 2020, at a Schrader Street home in Larksville, Pennsylvania, led police to a concealed body. Patricia Walski, 38, was found inside a garbage bag behind a door that had been secured with screws. An autopsy determined she died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators immediately focused on her husband, 46-year-old Richard Walski, who was missing from the home. Authorities reported he had been selling personal property in the weeks before Patricia’s death — a vehicle, firearms, a fishing boat, and Patricia’s engagement ring, which was sold on July 30. Richard’s passport and several firearms were missing from the residence, and an iPad belonging to him had been wiped.

Richard, described as an avid fisherman who frequented the Susquehanna River and fishing spots in New York, became the subject of a statewide manhunt and was charged with Patricia’s murder. Human remains later found along the Susquehanna River in Newport Township were identified by DNA testing as Richard Walski. Did anyone in the area know the Walskis or see them in the weeks before August 13, 2020?
