A horrific murder unfolded earlier this month in Virginia that has sent shock waves across the country music community.

As WTVR reported on Friday, 62-year-old teacher Holly Hatcher was savagely killed back on August 3 in Rockingham County after a stranger broke into her and her husband’s home. 65-year-old Michael Hatcher, the husband, was wounded during the attack but managed to kill the perp in an act of self-defense.

Police identified the deceased killer as 41-year-old Kevin Moses Walker of Pikeville, Maryland. Police said that on August 1, Walker rented a campsite at Endless Caverns in New Market, Virginia, at 2:22 p.m. and toured the caverns at approximately 3 p.m.

Walker then purchased a large knife three hours later (5:24 p.m.) at a Walmart roughly seven minutes from the campsite.

Courtesy of WTVR, here is the rest of the timeline leading up to the attack:

I think we end up seeing this one on Dateline. Dad hires killer to kill wife, he gets injured but doesn’t die then he kills the perp so there’s no witness LOL

Why in the world would you say something like that? I saw nothing in the article that even hinted at that.

Brings back memories of when David “Stringbean” Akeman and wife murdered in 1973.

Yes it's THEM. It's always THEM.

Praise the Lord, but the husband of the victim sent this animal straight to hell for all eternity with the pull of a trigger.

Weird how the murderer was up for Maryland Father Of the Year like the Abrego Kid and all the other criminals who call Merryland mi casa, su casa.

It’s not ALWAYS them. But... it is them way more often than it should be.

“Why in the world would you say something like that?“

If you’ve watched too many True Crime shows it’s the first thing that pops into your mind.

A .380 will kill a bear if you shoot him enough times, especially with all the newly engineered projectiles. It’s not just metal-jacket ball ammo any more, but that stuff would go right through a person. Not the pictured person maybe. With the light recoil of a .380 you can stack five or six shots real fast.

Not always. But often enough to denote a significant trend.
