A second suspect has died, but investigators said two other individuals are still under investigation for their potential role in the 18-year-old's disappearance and death in 1981.
A photo of Denise Marie Pierson is inset against an image of the railroad tracks at Seventh and Market streets in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania, where her remains were found in July 1984. Feb. 11, 2022, would have been her 59th birthday. A Pennsylvania man has been charged with murder and kidnapping more than 40 years after an 18-year-old woman was killed, prosecutors announced Friday.
Wayne Anthony Walker, 58, was charged Thursday with multiple counts of murder, kidnapping and conspiracy. It was unclear from court records if Walker, who was being held at the county jail on unrelated assault charges, had an attorney. “For 40 long years the family of Denise Pierson has sought answers in connection with the death of their loved one. We hope that today’s announcement brings a measure of healing and closure that they’ve been denied for too long,” Stollsteimer wrote in an emailed statement.
