Amber Marie Walker was 28 when her body was recovered from a lake in Richland Township on December 14, 2020, after she had been reported missing from Galesburg, Michigan. An autopsy found she had been shot in the face and then run over multiple times before her body was concealed in the water, prompting a homicide investigation by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators identified 24-year-old Chad Michael White of Kalamazoo as a person of interest. Police took White into custody on unrelated charges and later charged him with open murder and felony firearm; authorities say a gun found in his possession matched the weapon used in the killing. He was arraigned and held without bond at the Kalamazoo County Jail, and in November 2021 a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder and felony firearm, with sentencing scheduled the following month.

Amber was a mother of two and remembered by family as a free spirit with a wonderful sense of humor. Does anyone who knew Amber or who has information about her last movements in December 2020 want to come forward?
