Indiana State Police officers are still seeking for the person who murdered a woman on a popular path along the White River in downtown Indianapolis nearly 12 years ago.
Around 7:30 p.m. on December 12, 2012, ISP officers were summoned to the White River Parkway walking route, near West New York Street on the border of the Indiana University – Indianapolis campus, in response to a report of a body recovered.
That’s when officers discovered Sherese Walker Bingham.
Bingham, 51, of Indianapolis, was fatally murdered while walking her two German dogs in White River State Park. The murderer used Bingham’s personal firearm to commit the crime.
According to police, no witnesses were present during the event.
ISP stated that the first complaint was delayed because Bingham’s two dogs were so protective of her that police and doctors could not approach her until Animal Control officers removed the dogs.
Detectives suspect Bingham and her killer knew one other because of the canines’ protective nature.
ISP apprehended Bingham’s spouse in 2014. The prosecution dismissed the murder accusations due to a lack of evidence.
“This day (Dec. 12) marks the day she was murdered.
And for my family…we just remember how wonderful and caring she was, and we felt it wasn’t time for her to leave us,” Keith Walker, Bingham’s brother, told 13News in 2018.
The case is still open, and ISP feels that someone has information that will provide Bingham’s family with closure and justice.
“The family is asking for anyone with information to come forward to prevent the person responsible from potentially repeating this senseless crime,” the internet provider added. “One person could have the one key piece of information that could help bring closure to Sherese’s family during this holiday season.”
