NEW DETAILS: Mother stabbed to death, son remains in jail

A mother found dead inside a Perry Twp. house last week died after being stabbed multiple times, according to Montgomery County Coroner Kent Harshbarger.

Donna Walter, 60, was found dead in the Brookville Pyrmont Road house by a woman who identified herself as the victim’s best friend.

Her death was ruled a homicide.

A short time after she was found dead, police were searching for her son Taylor Walter. Police have named him a suspect.

Taylor Walter was found by Englewood police inside an SUV in the parking lot of the Meijer on North Main Street.

Perry Twp. police and assistant prosecutors agreed that additional investigation had to occur before a charging decision could be made in the homicide case, said Greg Flannagan, spokesman for the Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office.

“(Taylor) Walter is being held on a revocation in an unrelated case, so he will remain in custody,” Flannagan said.
