I had heard that she failed to show up for two debates ...

-snip- Ms. Walker, who was recently divorced and had a 4-year-old son, was a saleswoman for D.R. Horton. The company did not respond Monday to requests for comment.

Ms. Walker's ex-husband, Randy Tate, did not return phone calls Monday, but he spoke highly of his ex-wife over the weekend. The couple divorced in November.

Jeff Domen, Ms. Walker's divorce attorney, said Monday that he was shocked to hear of her death.

"A lot of times when people go through a divorce, so often you see people at their worst," Mr. Domen said. "I never saw that with Sarah. She was always happy and always bubbly. She was always a pleasure to deal with."

Mr. Domen described Ms. Walker's divorce as amicable, saying she and Mr. Tate planned a birthday party together for their son, Josh, while they were in the middle of their divorce.

"She spoke the world of Josh and loved him and took care of him," Mr. Domen said.

Mr. Tate and others have said they don't believe Ms. Walker had any enemies. But her sister said Ms. Walker was attacked in her Frisco home last Thanksgiving. Frisco police said they have no record of the assault.

In another incident, Frisco police were called to her home Oct. 31 when she reported that a friend had stolen some property. When police arrived, there was nothing missing. Ms. Walker was apparently intoxicated and had a bump on her head, according to Frisco police.

McKinney police have not named any suspects in the case.

Ed Spencer of Schepps Dairy said Monday that the company hopes that the $10,000 reward will encourage people to come forward with tips. The money will be paid for information leading to an arrest and indictment. The offer will be good for six months.

Mr. Spencer said the company has distributed $350,000 for rewards in criminal cases across North Texas. Rewards are paid in about 25 percent of cases, he said.

"All murders are tragic, of course, but some committed against elderly, the very young and everyday working people are particularly compelling," Mr. Spencer said. "It's just to try to help the McKinney Police Department solve the crime."

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the McKinney Police Department at 972-547-7600.

That's a very confusing headline. I think there's a word missing, but I too thought it referred to Cynthia.

Police experience shows that [being stabbed] 27 times is a very personal attack,

Cue the "Master of the Obvious" graphic...

I live in Mckinney not far from the site of this murder. The story is correct: it is a shocking thing.

Like everybody doesn't know it was the ex-husband.

There is no such thing as an "amicable" divorce. Some people are just better at hiding their anger.

I'm guessing a guy she dated once or twice and then she dumped him.

Reward offered for leads in slaying McKinney

For a moment, my heart lept in my chest, as I thought about a woman named Cynthia.

[Armedanddangerous]

Is that in Collin County?

I have some well-armed friends there who would make short work of any killer.
