16-Year-Old Charged With Murder, Arson In Fatal Fire

[staysblazed_xo]

"The sheriff's office said Candace Walton has been charged with arson, theft by taking and two counts of murder. The charges come after a fire at a home off Old Zebulon Road around 3:30 a.m. Thursday that killed two.

The victims are believed to be Walton's 21-year-old brother with special needs and another unidentified person who may be Walton's mother, according to WMAZ.

When authorities arrived to the house fire early Thursday, they found the house fully engulfed in flames. After the flames were put out, they found the bodies of a male and female.

Authorities initially believed the two victims to be Walton and her brother, Gerald. They later said, however, that information uncovered during the investigation showed that the body of the female victim had been misidentified and it was likely not Walton's.

Around the same time, authorities issued an alert that the siblings' mother, Tasha Vandiver, and her Chevy Malibu were missing.

The car was later found and stopped by U.S. Marshals in McCracken County, Kentucky with Walton behind the wheel.

At this time, the identities of the bodies have still not been confirmed. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is expected to make the positive identification."

I wonder if she had the unwanted role of caretaker and just got sick of it. I need more details before I can even begin to imagine a motive for this horrible double homicide.

If Mona Lisa was a whore that had seen inside the blackest of all men's hearts, she'd smile like that. I'd not turn my back on that kid for a fucking second. Shame on them for falling asleep.

A Georgia teenager pleaded guilty to murder and arson in the 2020 fire death of her mother and brother.

18-year-old Candace Walton entered the pleas in Monroe County, admitting guilt in the death of 36-year-old Tasha Vandiver and 21-year-old Gerald Walton. Walton was convicted of malice murder, felony murder, theft by taking and first-degree arson.

Monroe County District Attorney Jonathan Adams said Walton was sentenced to life in prison with possibility of parole for the murder charges, as well as 10 years in prison for the arson charge.

Adams said Walton showed remorse and took responsibility for her actions. She will serve at least 30 years in prison before she’s eligible for parole.

Adams has said authorities believe Candace Walton was trying to drive to Oregon to live her with boyfriend, Kaleo Pangelinan. The two had met when Pangelinan attended school in with Walton in Monroe County.

“There was a tax rebate that was cashed by the mom that was stolen, we believe by Candace, and she stole mom’s car, the cash rebate, and was driving to Oregon to visit the boyfriend essentially to start over a new life,” Adams told WMAZ-TV.
