Lynda Renneẽ Walton, 52, was shot to death in her home in Katy, Texas, on May 29, 2014. Her husband, Michael Robert Walton, 54, was also found dead at the scene; both victims had been shot with a small-caliber firearm and were discovered by their son Derrick Walton later that day.

Investigators identified the couple’s 21-year-old son, Ryan Walton, as the prime suspect. He was arrested two days after the killings in Rosenberg, Texas, while driving his mother’s car and charged with two counts of murder. During the inquiry Ryan, who had a history of drug use and mental illness and reportedly had stopped taking his medication, confessed and said he heard voices and believed his parents were turning others against him.

As of September 2016 Ryan Walton pleaded guilty under a plea agreement and was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after serving at least 30 years; the court acknowledged schizophrenia played a role and family members spoke at sentencing. Does anyone have information about Lynda Walton or the family that could shed light on the events leading up to May 29, 2014?
