Friday, August 03, 2007 - By Staff Writer, National Realty News

STUART, FL – Sarah Anne Walker was found face down on the kitchen floor of the model home where she was working. She had been stabbed at least 27 times. Her body was discovered by a couple looking to buy a home in the neighborhood. One year later, has her murder been solved?

Back in July of 2006 the National Realty News reported the murder of Sarah Anne Walker.

Walker, 40, was an attractive blonde with two children, ages 4 and 15. She was a very successful woman and a top seller for home builder D.R. Horton. Walker was working by herself at an open house in McKinney, Texas - about 32 miles north of Dallas. Police reported that Walker made a cell phone call to a friend at 12:30pm and she was found dead at 1:23pm. Walker’s phone call was a normal friendly chat and she did not mention plans to meet a client or anyone else. Her body was discovered by a couple looking to buy a home in the neighborhood of Hemingway at Craig Ranch, developed by D.R. Horton and Craig International.

Police reports indicated that Walker tried to fight off her attacker and that defensive wounds like blood and skin under her fingernails could be used to identify the killer. The weapon was never found.

Police discovered Walker was wearing the jewelry because she stopped at the bank shortly before the murder and upon investigation, a bank surveillance camera showed images of Walker wearing the jewelry. The watch was a Datejust Rolex, valued at approximately $6,000, with roman numerals on the face and gold and silver in the band. The silver ring was David Yurman.

Police learned that Walker had been dating online, or at least exploring the possibility of. She had recently posted a personal ad on MillionaireMatch.com, a site where successful people can search for other successful people.
