On January 15, 1979, 24-year-old Yolanda Torres Madison was killed during a violent home invasion on West Maple Avenue in Adrian, Michigan. Walker allegedly tied up and beat the two women, shot them, and then set the house on fire. Baby Jessica died of smoke inhalation.

Investigators had suspected Walker soon after the attack because he was seen at the crime scene, but prosecutors lacked the evidence to charge him at the time. Decades later, a cold case review that used new DNA technology produced a connection to Walker. Already serving a life sentence, he confessed to the killings and later pleaded guilty to three counts of open murder, receiving three life terms without parole.

Did anyone who knew Yolanda or her family have contact with them in Adrian around January 1979 that could add detail to what happened that night?
