Saskatoon woman arrested in U.S. says she had no choice but to flee with her son
A woman accused of faking her own death and that of her son says she left Saskatoon because she feared for their safety.She was arrested Friday in Oregon City by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and charged with two offences for allegedly using fake identities to cross into the country with her seven-year-old son. The boy has since been returned to Canada.
For two weeks prior, RCMP and Saskatoon police investigated the disappearance as a missing person’s case. Walker’s pickup truck was found at a park south of Saskatoon, along with some of her belongings, and some people feared Walker and her son had drowned in the South Saskatchewan River. Deputy Chief Randy Huisman said allegations of domestic violence may or may not play a role in their investigation of Walker.
The document and other court records also accuse Walker of coming up with an elaborate scheme to fake the deaths, including stealing the identities of a co-worker and the co-worker’s child to open a bank account, buy an SUV and drive across the border.
