Kimberly Diane Cargill (born November 30, 1966) is an American woman sentenced to death in Texas for the murder of Cherry Walker, her son's mentally-challenged babysitter. On June 18, 2010, Cargill killed 39-year-old Cherry Walker by asphyxiation to prevent the victim from testifying against her in a child protective case. Cargill had a history of abusing her children, and feared Walker's testimony would result in authorities taking her children permanently. After killing Cherry, Cargill badly burnt her body. Cargill was arrested and charged with capital murder within a month after the crime. Although Cargill claimed Walker had died from a seizure and not due to homicidal violence, the jury found Cargill guilty of capital murder and sentenced her to death in 2012. As of 2026, Cargill is on death row at the Patrick O'Daniel Unit, with her execution date yet to be scheduled.
