Witnesses Reveal Chilling Final Convo With Killer Of Country Star’s Mother
In the final days before a killer rampaged through the home of an aspiring country music singer, killing his mother, visitors and staff at the campground where he stayed said the violent and deranged man appeared anything but.
Little is known about 41-year-old Kevin Moses Walker, nearly two weeks after he left Endless Caverns campsite in Virginia and headed to the home of Holly Hatcher, 62, whom he killed during a break-in. She was the mother of Spencer Hatcher, an up-and-coming country music star who stood beside his father at a teary press conference earlier this week.
Investigators are feverishly working to patch together what limited knowledge they have of Walker’s motives. Police have described the crime as “highly unusual” and “completely random.”
Now, journalists on the hunt for more information report that some of the final members of the public to speak with Walker claim he was polite and resembled little of the deranged, knife-wielding behavior that took the life of Holly Hatcher.
Mike Stewart, the campsite’s general manager, described Walker as “polite” when he checked in, and said neither he nor any of his staff members noticed any concerning behavior by him.
“We all interacted with him, and there was nothing aggressive or unusual about him,” he said.
“There were no red flags that would have led us to believe he’d be capable of doing something like this… if there were, I would’ve called the police. Everything was normal until it wasn’t… the next morning, that’s when everything went south.”

The site was filled with families, some with young children, while Walker stayed among them on Aug. 1. He joined other campers for a walking tour around 3 p.m. that day and told staff he was looking for a place to stay the night.
Stewart helped Walker pay for a plot and walked him to an empty RV.
“He was polite and he didn’t do anything to raise our alarms,” insisted Stewart. “We see a lot of people, and he just seemed like a regular guy who was just passing through and needed somewhere to stay.”
Three hours after he left the campsite, Walker was spotted at a nearby Walmart, where he purchased a large hunting knife used in the attack.
Then, sometime between 3 and 5 a.m., Walker rammed his car into the gift shop of the campsite.
Evidence shows Walker “fooled around” inside the caverns before he left but did not steal anything of value, Stewart said while adding it was easy to uncover who rammed the gift shop because the front bumper of Walker’s vehicle was left at the scene.
Authorities launched drones into the sky as they attempted to canvass the hilly area in search of Walker, but were unsuccessful.
“We don’t know, it all seemed totally out of the blue. I would hate to even hesitate a guess,” Stewart said.
“But we’re all a little bit shaken up to have been so close to someone capable of doing something as awful as he eventually did.”
Felony warrants were issued for Walker shortly after, but no mention of violence was made. Investigators told the Daily Mail they had no reason to suspect he had “potential for any violence.”
