On Wednesday afternoon, Feb, 23 the Bloomington Police Department arrested Kimberlee Burton for the offense of concealment of a death.
At the time of this arrest, Kimberlee Burton was in custody on other previously filed charges.
This latest arrest was a result of an on-going investigation into Burton’s missing 7-month- old infant, Zaraz Walker.
A formal criminal charge is pending review by the McLean County States Attorney’s office. Bond court is expected on Friday, Feb. 25. At this time, no additional information will be released as it is an active investigation.
Police Chief Jamal Simington said, “Although an arrest has been made in this investigation, our work is not complete. We will continue to investigate all leads in order to locate missing Zaraz and we need your help. We also ask the public to understand our reluctance to share information about the case, as it may interfere with our investigation. When the time is appropriate or it helps us locate Zaraz, we will share more information.”
Cities had a Q&A with Public Affairs Officer John Fermon:
The report said she was missing for 5-7 days before reported is that typical in this kind of case? This case isn’t a typical case.
