For the first time since Sonsaray Warford and Charles Walker were found murdered in a Madison County field in an alleged murder-for-hire plot after being missing for two years, Sonsaray’s mother, Roslyn Martin, is speaking on camera about her loss.
When Martin looks at her grandsons Deshawn and Antwaun Warford she sees her daughter Sonsaray, especially in Deshawn.

“I sit back and just look at him sometimes, and he acts like her sometimes. Sonsaray was real funny; she’d joke at you, you know, keep you laughing,” says Martin.
Sonsaray’s mom says family was most important to her daughter. She used to cook big dinners for family and friends, everything from ribs to baked lasagna.
“She cooked for groups of people and she never rejected anybody,” says Anthony Martin, Sonsaray’s uncle.
Sonsaray even worked as a cook, until she had a back injury. That’s when she decided to go to school to be a nurse. That’s what she was working towards shortly before she disappeared June 2010. Since then, Martin and her family have been living a nightmare. For two years, they didn’t know where Sonsaray was. Then in late March, Richmond Police said they found remains belonging to Sonsaray and Charles Walker in a field along Tates Creek Road in Madison County. Police then charged two army veterans from Madison County, Matthew Denholm and Daniel Keene, with the couple’s kidnapping and murder. According to a police affidavit, a hit had been put out on Charles. The affidavit said Sonsaray was kidnapped only because she happened to be with him. Martin had unknowingly passed the field numerous times with her church group.
“I was coming down there one night before they found them, and it’s like a bright light hit me, and I thought ‘what’s that'” says Martin.
Sonsaray’s mother says she’s leaning on her faith to get through.
“I know where she is today, because she knew God. And I told her if anything ever comes up against you Sonsaray you call to the name of God, and she was doing that,” says Martin. “I want justice served. Because they didn’t have to take her, but they did. They killed an honest person in this. And I pray about the matter because I am a Christian, but it’s hard when someone takes your own child.”
As Sonsaray’s children excel in football, her pit bull puppy that she loved, named Precious, stays with her mother. It’s the precious memories of her daughter, that keep Roslyn Martin strong.
