EMPORIA, Va. (WRIC) -- Months after a 23-year-old Florida woman was found dead in Emporia, FBI Richmond is offering a $20,000 reward for any information that leads to the truth.

On Saturday, June 7, the remains of 23-year-old Meredith Rose Walker of Naples, Florida were found near the intersection of Market Drive and Commonwealth Boulevard in Emporia, according to the Emporia Police Department.

Months later, on Tuesday, Nov. 25, FBI Richmond announced that it is offering $20,000 to anyone who has information that leads to the arrest and conviction of whoever is responsible for Walker's death.
