Tennessee mom who vanished from Walmart found dead in remote area; 2 in custody

Tennessee authorities have arrested two people in connection with Chelsie Walker's disappearance and death

Tennessee authorities have arrested two individuals in connection with the disappearance and death of Chelsie Walker, a mom of two.

Monroe County Sheriff Tommy Jones announced the arrests in a Sunday Facebook post and said charges against the individuals are forthcoming, but he has not released new information since.

The Madisonville Police Department said Walker, 24, was last seen at a Walmart in Madison on Oct. 29. Walker's Facebook profile lists one of her jobs as an online grocery pickup worker at Walmart.

Monroe County detectives "later gathered evidence that Chelsie Walker was last seen at a residence in Tellico Plains, Tennessee," Jones said in his Facebook post.

In a Sept. 26 Facebook post, Walker shared a Bible verse that reflects on death from Psalm 23:4: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me; your rod [and] your staff, they comfort me."
