Overview

• Investigators traced Kevin Moses Walker’s activities from an Aug. 1 campsite rental at Endless Caverns to a Walmart purchase of a large knife and sleeping bag days before the invasion
• On Aug. 3 Walker broke into the Hatcher home in Rockingham County, fatally stabbing 62-year-old teacher Holly Hatcher before her husband, Michael, shot him dead
• After consulting Commonwealth’s Attorney Marsha Garst, the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Office confirmed no charges will be filed in the intruder’s death because he is deceased
• Officials describe the attack as “highly unusual” and “completely random,” noting Walker had no known history of violence and that his motive remains undetermined
• The Hatcher family has asked for privacy as they mourn Holly—a 19-year veteran teacher—and country artist Spencer Hatcher cancels upcoming performances
