Toxicology tests inconclusive for dead woman found in trash can

DAYTON — The Montgomery County Coroner's Office is unable to determine what caused the death of a young woman found stuffed in trash can and has turned over all inconclusive test results to Dayton police.
Heather Walker's death has been officially ruled an "undetermined homicide by violence," Miami Valley Regional Crime Lab director Ken Betz said Thursday, June 19.
The ruling deals a serious blow to the investigation into the 18-year-old's death and how she ended up in a city-issued trash can.
It also eliminates the most crucial piece of evidence — Walker's body.
"We know she wasn't shot or stabbed," Betz said. "But we also know it's not a natural act to end up in a (trash can). She died at the hands of another."
Betz said the investigation surrounding Heather's death now rests in the hands of police detectives.
"The case is never closed until there is results, but unless we get new information, we are through with our tests," Betz said. "We will certainly cooperate with the police if anything new surfaces."
A woman found Walker on April 26 while walking by a trash can in a backyard just east of Jersey Street on East Third Street.
Betz said toxicology tests could not determine how long she had been there.
"There was just too much breakdown of her bodily fluid," Betz said. "Out of respect for her family, that is as much detail as I want to give."
Walker's father, Robert Walker, said police investigators told him she died a month after being reported missing on Feb. 9, but Betz and police Sgt. Gary White both said they don't support that statement.
Heather Walker, who had a 2-year-old son, Devin, lived with her parents .

Who I'd like to meet: IF tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me; I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today, while thinking of the many things, we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you, and each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;

But when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understand, That an angel came and called my name, And took me by the hand, So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart, For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
I would only ask one thing of you, if in the future one of your friends posts a missing person flyer on MySpace.. Please repost
