The Babysitter Who Knew Too Much: Kimberly Cargill Capital Murder
Kimberly Cargill murdered Cherry Walker in Whitehouse, Texas on June 18, 2010 to prevent the mentally challenged babysitter from testifying at a child custody hearing. The Smith County investigation revealed Walker died from asphyxiation, her partially burned body discovered on Oscar Burkett Road. Cargill was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death by lethal injection in 2012 after prosecutors presented forensic evidence including DNA found on Burger King coffee creamers at the crime scene.
This case gets wild because here's a woman who's already lost custody of two of her kids, CPS is breathing down her neck, and the one person who can seal the deal against her in court is this vulnerable woman who just wants to tell the truth. So Cargill makes a decision. And the aftermath? She admits to burning the body, claims it was all a panic move after Walker had a seizure in the car. But then there's this forensic battle that goes all the way to the appeals court about whether Walker was murdered or died from a rare epilepsy condition. The evidence tells one story. Cargill's defense tells another. And sitting in the middle of all this is a pattern of violence that goes back decades.
