A Bartlesville man pleads guilty to helping his girlfriend murder her adoptive grandparents.

 

 21-year-old Lucas Walker entered a guilty plea to two counts of second degree murder on Wednesday. Walker was charged in the deaths of Larry and Deborah Dutton who were found buried in their own backyard in January 2023.

 

The couple's adopted granddaughter Heidi Dutton – who was 17 at the time – is also charged as an adult in the case and faces two counts of first degree murder, two counts of desecration of a corpse, and conspiracy.

 

Her jury trial is set for June.
