Bangor voters have elected Angela Walker, who was convicted of manslaughter nearly a quarter century ago, as a new city councilor.
Walker joins Susan Faloon and Daniel Carson, among the three councilors-elect to emerge from the nine-way race in Tuesday’s election.
Walker received the fewest votes – 2,231 – of the three.
Faloon, a life coach, led the pack with 3,951 votes, and Carson, a labor and community organizer, earned 2,512.
Walker is the “peer services coordinator” for the Bangor Area Recovery Network.
She’s reportedly in recovery herself from addiction.
Walker was imprisoned after being convicted of manslaughter in 2003 among her experiences she’s said would help her be a voice on the council for the city’s most “vulnerable” residents amid intersecting homelessness and addiction crises.
Walker was convicted 23 years ago in the brutal Old Orchard Beach killing of Derek Rogers, a Canadian tourist who had allegedly called her a racist name.
Cops found that Rogers had been severely beaten and then suffocated to death with sand forced down his throat.
His lifeless body was found on the beach August 1, 2002 in a section of the popular coastal beach town known as Ocean Park.
He had been a musician who played trombone for the Canadian Central Command Band.
Rogers, whose family had vacationed in Old Orchard for generations, had spent several weeks at the beach with his wife of 20 years, Faith, police said at the time.
She had left Old Orchard to return to work, but Rogers was staying longer.
He was found dead by a fisherman shortly after 3 a.m. on the boardwalk along the beach a quarter-mile from the cottage he rented.
Walker is unenrolled in a political party and also named as priorities cleaning up public spaces and improving public transit as priorities.

“cleaning up public spaces and improving public transit”
Oh Gosh. I guess there's no way to know if she's a Trump supporter or maybe a fan of Mamdani or Harris or Pelosi or whomever. It's a mystery.
But the voters know what they like.
White people are suicidal. I thought Germans were bad when it came to destroying their own civilization.... Move over American liberals. The only thing stopping a complete takeover of Maine by turds and Somalis is the weather. Ms Walker will take out her revenge on whitey while destroying her injun tribe at the same time cuz, muh racism.
Reportedly, he called her a “squaw”.
Content of character ALERT!
So she wasn’t executed. That’s a shame. I guess all we have left is hope she won’t murder anyone else.
My brother used to live there.
Was not part of the “Old Town”.
Moved after his wife passed in the 80’s.
Closest beach to Montreal.
How much sand in the throat to get a trombone player to suffocate? I guess that we know now.
I suspect that he was killed by others, and that Walker took the fall.
Not much good happens after midnight, especially when you go looking for trouble.
That will be Karmelo Anthony’s defense. “He called me a racist name, naturally I knifed him.”
What a slate of degenerate, no-account, worthless candidates!
* A manslaughterer (if a person who murders someone is a “murderer” ...)
* A “life coach”
* A labor and community organizer
* A “peer services coordinator”
* A recovering addict
Bangor will sure get the government they deserve. What morons!
She brutally murdered a White man and lied that he called her the N word. This was at the very least 2nd degree murder. His family should have taken vengeance long ago.
Pissed off murderous squaw elected to public office?
The word “ludicrous” is not sufficient to describe this...
Another proud killer
Stuffing sand down the victim’s throat gets you manslaughter in Maine? Wow
Juliet Marion Hulme, aka English mystery writer Anne Perry, as a 15 year old teenager, helped murder her close friend’s mother. She did five years, came out of prison and changed her name. Wrote her first mystery novel in 1979. She died in 2023.
“Bangor voters have elected Angela Walker, who was convicted of manslaughter”
C’mon man, everyone deserves a second chance. /s
