A Mother's Promise - the Murder of Jamey Walker
Jamey Walker was the kind of young woman who made everyone believe in a better future. An honor student, prom queen, and third-generation activist, she came from one of the most respected families on Las Vegas’s Historic West Side.
But in May 1981, her promising life came to a devastating and mysterious end.
In this episode of Sins and Survivors, we return to the West Side—not just to explore a historic neighborhood shaped by resilience and injustice—but to tell the story of one of its brightest lights. We look at the life of Jamey Walker, her remarkable family, and the events that unfolded on what should have been an ordinary Mother’s Day weekend.
We’ll walk through the community’s complex history, a rising boxer with a troubled past, and the long path Jamey’s loved ones took to find answers. It's a case that went cold, warmed up again, and raised as many questions as it answered—even after someone was finally held accountable.
This is more than a story about a crime. It’s about legacy, loss, and a mother’s promise that she would never stop searching for the truth.
