To most of us, March 19th, 2006 does not really ring any bells, nor does it mean too much to us. Most of us will hear that date and not think twice about it. For the family of Travis Walker, that date will always and forever be the day that their son, brother, uncle and cousin was taken away from them by murder.

It is a day that will forever bring memories, some happy, many smiles and some sad with thousands of tears. For the Walker family, their lives will never be the same. They have lost a loved member of their family who can never be replaced. There is no justice for the loss a life - nothing can ever bring Travis back to them.

No one could have predicted that March 19th, 2006 would be Travis Walkers last day on earth. Sometime that evening, Bobby Brummett went by Travis' house to pick him up. Bobby recounted the harrowing events of the evening in which a white Dodge Intrepid had attempted to run him, his girlfriend and they infant off of the road.

Brummett was relatively sure that he knew where he could find the driver of the Intrepid - at the Geise household. At approximately 9:00 p.m. Brummett pulled up the home of Kurt, Andrew and Tommy Geise where they were met by 43 year old Kurt Geise armed with a Kel-Tec 9mm pointed straight at your head.

Geise proceeds to the drivers side of the door where he yanks open the door and brutally tears Brummett from the vehicle and throws him to the ground where he points the gun to his head holding it approximately 6 inches from his skull. Geise returned his gaze and the business end of the gun back to the remaining occupants in the car before returning his attention to Brummett.

"While Kurt Geise was holding Brummett on the ground, (17 year old) Andrew Geise approached Brummett and struck him four or five times with an aluminum baseball bat." (Quill, 2006)

Andrew Geise managed to tear himself away from beating Bobby and set his attention on Travis who was still seated in the back seat of the vehicle. "Andrew Geise also stated he had gone to the back passenger seat and struck Travis Walker three or four times in the neck with the end of the baseball bat." (Quill, 2006) When Travis put his arm outside of the window, Andrew swung the bat full force hitting him in the arm.

Andrew Geise returned to the drivers side of the vehicle where his father, Kurt Geise, was still detaining Bobby Brummett. Tommy Geise had taken up residence at the passenger side of the vehicle aiming a gun at Travis Walker. The West Plains Daily Quill states, "[16 year old Andrew Geise] struck Walker several times with the barrel of the shotgun, then fired one shot into the right torso area of Walker causing his death." (Quill 2006)

16 year old Tommy Geise taunted, poked a proded 19 year old Travis Walker, who had his arms raised in the air as he was told, with a 12 gauge shotgun. When he was tired of playing cat and mouse with Travis, he cold bloodily shot him in the chest.

It is important to take note of the how the entire scene must have looked. On the drivers side of the vehicle, you have 43 year old Kurt Geise holding a gun on 20 year old Bobby Brummet while his 17 year old son is beating him with a baseball bat. At the same time Geise's other teenager son, 16 year old Tommy Geise is taunting 19 year old Travis Walker with a loaded shotgun after which he shoots him, killing him.

Everyone in the vehicle must have gone half insane, screaming and crying, begging for an ambulance - begging to be allowed to take their dying friend to the hospital - at the very least, call an ambulance. All to no avail. The Geise's played God that night and would not allow Travis Walker any medical help at all - they allowed him to die in their driveway at 1078 Chapel Road in Willow Springs, Missouri.
