Paul Dean Walker, who has spent over twenty years in state prison on a Boone County murder charge has again been denied a chance for release.

Late last month, the West Virginia State Parole Board denied Walker’s bid for supervised release in connection with the deaths of 68-year old Dorothy Daniels and 83-year old Faye Jarrell, which took place on October 29, 1989.

Investigators from the Boone County Sheriff’s Department said at the time that Paul Walker and his brother Teddy murdered both women while in search of money.

Sheriff Rodney Miller, who was at the time the chief investigator in the case said the brothers first entered Jarrell’s home by kicking her door open. Miller said the men murdered the women, then ransacked the houses for valuables.

They were later captured by deputies, and they later reportedly admitted to the crimes.

Late last year, after hearing of Walker’s attempt to seek parole, Miller wrote a letter to the state board strongly opposing the request.

Miller said in his letter that “during the investigation, Walker remained uncooperative, arrogant and defiant. While a pre-trial felon, the man repeatedly attempted to create problems for county jailers. His own mother was arrested after attempting to pass drugs to her sons.”

Miller’s letter said Paul Walker “repeatedly made threats toward sheriff’s deputies and ‘when he got out he would get even with them.”

Pleading with board members, Miller stated that “in my past 27 years with the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, I have worked and investigated the vast majority of death investigations in my jurisdiction. During that time, I cannot recall a more gruesome, violent and deliberately more destructive crime than that committed by the Walker brothers. They were repeatedly involved in criminal acts, and it was commonplace for community members to recite that ‘they knew it was just a matter of time before those boys killed someone.”

Miller stated that after speaking with numerous community members and community leaders, I am confident to relay to you that the community as a whole, dramatically opposes inmate Walker’s opportunity for parole.”

Last week, the parole board denied Walker’s bid for parole. He will be able to seek parole at an as yet unknown later date.
