August 21, 2018, Beasley and Lakeia went on an unannounced trip to California and Mexico. Conflicting stories as to Zaela's location were given to the police. Zaela was not seen after August 23, 2018. Lakeia Walker agreed to plead guilty to accessory to commit murder and Ricky Beasley agreed to plead guilty to second degree murder. Both were initially charged and arrested for the murder of Zaela Walker. As of May 2026 both cases are still ongoing and Zaela Walker's remains have yet to be found.
