Search For Adair County Boy Stretches To Texas

Columbia, Kentucky – The search for an Adair County teenager accused of murdering his parents is being extended to other states. Kentucky State Police believe 16-year-old Blake Walker is in Texas, but did not specify a location in the state.

The bodies of his parents, 55-year-old Barbara Peterson and 54-year-old Brian Walker were found by police Monday at the family's home in Knifley. Broadcast reports say investigators may be using credit card information to track Blake Walker.

Meanwhile, a memorial service for Brian Walker and Barbara Peterson will be held this Sunday in Columbia.
