Uncle Doug Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 According to some of Ken's close friends, Ken was brutally murdered. An autopsy is necessary for legal purposes but there is no doubt. There is also little doubt who did it. Police are actively seeking this individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Moderator_02 Posted August 12, 2020 Author Moderators Share Posted August 12, 2020 Please note that the victim's name was extracted from the newspaper article. However, we have been advised by those who knew Ken that his last name actually is Walden. Accordingly the title for this topic has been corrected, but we cannot change the newspaper article itself.

Wyn Bryant Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 If anyone knows, please clarify that this was the Ken Walden, originally from Birmingham, Alabama. I had not heard from him for a long time, and all attempts to reach him by the phone numbers I have failed. I would appreciate any information that anyone has--particularly in regard to any final arrrangements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
