Keynote Speaker
Richard H. Walton, Ed. D
Richard Walton has over thirty-five years of law enforcement experience as a deputy sheriff and district attorney’s investigator in California, where he gained extensive experience and expertise in homicide, arson, white-collar crime, elder abuse, and fraud investigations. He earned his Master’s Degree in Education in 1978 and is currently a assistant professor in the Criminal Justice Department at Utah State University Eastern.
Beginning in the early 1980’s, Walton re-investigated perhaps America’s oldest active homicide case, a series of events set in the mid-1920’s. His 13-year effort identified a surviving killer and earned a posthumous pardon on the grounds of innocence for a Native American who had spent over 40 years in prison and on parole for crimes he did not commit. It is perhaps the first of its kind in American legal history.
Walton has presented on the topic of reinvestigation of cold case homicides to law enforcement and forensic venues for more than two decades, including the FBI Academy, The American Academy of Forensic Sciences, National Institute of Justice, Pennsylvania State Homicide Investigator’s Association, California Criminalists Institute and the Vidocq Society, and others.
Dr. Richard Walton received his Doctor of Education degree from the University of San Francisco in 2005, writing his academic dissertation on identification of solvability factors in cold case homicide investigation. He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, member of the Vidocq Society and International Association for Identification and author of “Cold Case Homicides: Practical Investigative Techniques,” (CRC Press, 2006) as well as numerous journal and professional articles.
