Betz also said Walker's death was not recent. Walker was found Saturday in a trash can in an alley off Jersey Street, just north of East Third Street.
"She had been there for an extended period of time," Betz said.
Walker, 18, was reported missing on Feb. 9 by her parents. She was last seen in the parking lot of Sam's Market, 3501 E. Third St., her parents said.
Walker's body was found in a can between some abandoned buildings, Betz said.
