KANSAS CITY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas City woman after learning she has been living off her missing father's Social Security and VA benefits.
On August 25, investigators with the Nye County, Nevada Sheriff's office served a Search Warrant at 3891 Peggy in Pahrump, Nevada to search the property for human remains buried on the property.
Investigators learned that 95-year-old Bruce Brown had not been contacted or seen since April of 2023.
Detectives traveled to Kansas City and interviewed 53-year-old Gennice Walker. Investigators had already established probable cause that Walker was living off of Brown's Social Security and VA Benefits and had received information that she had buried Brown, her father, in the desert.
Walker refused to cooperate and was arrested in Kansas City on an Arrest Warrant for Larceny.
When investigators returned from Kansas City, a Search Warrant was served at the address on Peggy Avenue. After excavating a small portion of the back yard, deputies located human remains of a man in a home-made coffin under the ground. Autopsy later identified the remains as Bruce Brown.
Gennice Walker remains jailed in Kansas City prior to extradition to Nevada.
