Sid Walker Dies

A familiar face around Crosslake is gone.  Sid Walker died Sunday at the age of 74. 

Walker was the stepfather of 22-year-old Drew Sjodin, who was kidnapped and killed in 2003. 

Walker was actively involved in the search for the Pequot Lakes High School graduate.  Her body was later found in a ravine near Crookston.

Alfonso Rodriguez is on death row following conviction in the case.

Sjodin's mother, Linda Walker, said Sid new about about the cancer when Sjodin was kidnapped.  Doctors say Walker lived longer than they thought he would.

Funeral Services will be 3 PM, Thursday, September 8, at Crosslake Lutheran Church. Family and friends will gather this evening from 5-7 PM at the Brenny Funeral Chapel in Crosslake and one hour prior to services at the church on Thursday.
