GA911 Dispatch Spvr,Theresa Parker,41,Lafayette,GA.,3/22/07 [2/4/08 husband chgd]

[Destini]

This afternoon, the NewsChannel 9 investigative team learned the GBI asked for and received a search warrant into the LaFayette police department. We confirmed lockers were searched, but investigators will not reveal what they found.

I wish I felt that Theresa had just taken off and that Sam was in the clear. Unfortunately, I don't and I do think he is guilty - even if he didn't do it himself and hired someone to do it, he's still just as guilty as having done it himself.

I agree if he's involved at all his hands are not clean

[snoopyone]

Have they even been able to question Parker since he's been named a person of interest or has he lawyered up?

Thanks for that link and info Destini. I heard a blip about this from tv news briefly. They didn't say more than what you have posted here. It's interesting.

[Destini]

According to this article, he's now got a lawyer.

Seems to me that's rather unusual for the GBI to serve a search warrant on a police department .... if they were cooperating with the GBI and turning over info., why would they have to get a search warrant? Sounds like some major corruption going on there IMO ...

One officer arrested and jailed, who remained in jail voluntarily for his own security; another officer a person of interest in a missing person's case; now a warrant to search lockers??!!
And while I'm on a roll, why would Chaffin stay in jail an additional night for protection, but post bail the next day? If he were afraid of someone, why would he the next day not be afraid?? Does that make sense?

It all is very confusing, isn't it?

First of all, what is up with Chaffin and him not wanting to turn his words around? Does he know something or not? However, there was a show on Saturday that a poster mentioned on websleuths and that the heat will be on Chaffin this week and if he doesn't start talking, he will be taking the rap for this.

And, holy crap, for all we know, perhaps there were a number of LE in on this one. Yikes.

There really doesn't have to be a reason for Parker to murder Theresa except that she was divorcing him. If he was a control freak during the marriage there is a good chance that he just wasn't going to allow her to divorce him. I recall that she told her sister that she was afraid that she was going to be killed. I wonder if he ever threatened her with death? It might not have been about the money or house or anything. She had started moving and soon would be in her own place. I think he murdered her as part of his control over her. She wasn't going to be allowed to leave him.

I have a hard time believing that other officer. Why was he worried about LE turning his words around? Is that what he did to people he questioned when he was on active duty? All he had to do was tell the truth. Why should that be so hard to do? Maybe he did help Parker get rid of the body and he is afraid that LE will think he had a part in her murder. I hope they ride him hard and don't let up until he tells the truth. LE arrested him for lying though....so what did he lie about????

[lrobert]

“Has he taken a polygraph examination?” Ms. Grace asked.

"No," the sheriff replied.

“Has he been asked to take a polygraph?” she continued.

“Yes,” Sheriff Wilson said.

There is a post by IrishRed:

I heard someting thais weekend that I will share with you. I was told that Ben Chaffin said that he would rather go to jail than say something to GBI that they can twist around and use against Sam Parker. Knowing him, I believe he would do that. I have spoken to some officers who say that GBI has been very intense in questioning. It wouldn't be the first time that law enforcement has pushed people into saying things that were then turned against them. One more thing, don't hold this against other officers on the LPD, they are just as stunned as we are. They are trying to do a difficult job under a lot of pressure as it is.

There is also a post by aimeeo:

In resopnse to one of gowriters comments.... I do not know where you are getting your information but apparently it is not very dependable. Chaffin DID NOT lie about NOT working the night Theresa disappeared. He was off that Wednesday AND Thursday. There are sooooo many rumors floating around it's just awful!! Ben is a close friend of mine and yes he lied about something to the GBI but it is still questionable as to what he lied about.

[murdershewrote]

I believe he can ask for any interviews to be taped, so there is no misunderstanding about what is said.

[licketysplit]

I AM NOT TRYING TO START A RUMOR...

But someone at work today said she saw on TV last night that the husband has been arrested and they are draining another pond. I checked back a page and didn't see this mentioned. Has anyone else heard anything about this? I hate to call the person a liar...but I haven't heard anything about the husband being arrested.

I agree murdershewrote. The whole thing with Chaffin seems hoaky to me.

Hopefully someone is going to talk sooner rather than later but they are cops and they know that the heat will die down eventually as long as everyone sticks to their stories.

[licketysplit]

I can't find anything on Sam Parker being arrested. The woman must have not have heard correctly. :rolleyes:

Or what she heard wasn't true.

Someone WAS arrested (not Parker) and a pond WAS drained.

Maybe they just didn't have the facts all straight.. or she didn't!

Oh well!

She must get her news by string and a tin can :) unlike us and you licketysplit who just get in her car and check it out yourself.

"Mr. Parker's lawyers have instructed him not to talk anymore with Georgia Bureau of Investigation officials, Sheriff Wilson said."

Nothing says guilty more than telling LE to not talk to LE when your wife is missing....IMO

According to this link, both Chaffin and Parker have been suspended from the police department. I don't remember reading that about Chaffin.

Thing is I asked her several times....you mean the HUSBAND? Are you sure???? and she was like yeah, they let the one guy out on bond and arrested the husband. She obviously doesn't have a clue. There was another little pond on that street though. I might have to ride back over there. :D

I wonder if that is true.

With all this talk recenty about the media not being completely accurate.. makes me wonder.

But.. if true.. I wonder why they would suspend the friend. My understanding was that he didn't want to talk because he was worried that they would use his statement against Parker. Is that criminal (guess so since they arrested him) and grounds for suspension?

Or maybe GBI knows more than they are letting on?

You know the other thing that comes to mind with the Chaffin thing...

If Sam Parker did something to his wife and then called his friend (Chaffin) to figure out what to do with her or called him after the fact to spill about what had happened.. how awful of him to put his friend into that position. IMO

The scenerios are endless in my head as to how Chaffin could have been brought into it. Some of them quite innocently.

I mean.. what one of us wouldn't go to a friend in the middle of the night who called and said they needed us? At any point we could be put smack dab in the middle of a murder investigation and never have had a murderous intent.

I think I know what I would do if faced with that situation but I can't be sure. AND what if the friend had something on you? Like you cheated or something?

IDK.. just tossing things out there.

Who cares what they had on you. Murder is murder and would have to be reported or the friend would have murder on you too.

Knowledge without reporting it is a crime too. I'm sure you know that.

It would be a horrible position to be put in. Some friend NOT! I'd be terrified the person would kill me too if they knew I would call police.

You'd have to placate the murderous friend until you got yourself back into a SAFETY zone away from them, then hit 911 FAST and report the crime you had knowledge of.

[Adalena935]

I just dropped by to see if anything new in this case. I guess not. The poor woman. Geez, I hope they find her. I think she surely met with foul play. I hope they locate her for her loved-one's sakes. How awful for them.

That would if you knew you were being put in that position.
Scenerio:
Sam calls Ben to come over that night or any night, maybe to stay at the house for a bit, maybe to do something else, maybe to even just talk - Theresa isn't there but Ben sees the cell purse etx. Even though he didn't see Theresa dead or alive, if she had met with foul play - he would in fact still be charged with accessory after the fact. Whether he saw her or not or knew that she had met with foul play or not.
He was there and to some that would make him an accessory regardless of what he knows.
So would calling 911 over a purse cell and bag or any of those items be warranted? Would reporting a friend as a murderer? Just a thought

[duncan]

I think Theresa is dead.

I live in rural coastal North Carolina and the forests are really thick and dense, my sister and I were horseback riding and at times had to turn back because of the bushes and brambles, we also have lots of water, creeks and rivers, I think it would be easy to hide a body and have confidence that it would never be found.

MOO

That is pretty much where I was going Amanda.

There are so many seemingly innocent things that could throw him into the middle of this.

Not saying that is the case but could be.

For Tara :rose: and now Theresa :rose:

so sad ...:(

[murdershewrote]

Has anyone come out and verified where the husband is...I assume if he's in a mental health facility, that information would be protected and that's why we haven't really heard. But he's been in there awhile now...I guess the cops figure they know where he is and as long as he's there, he can't run away.

But obviously something serious happened to him, I mean...he's working at his job like normal, and then all of a sudden he's having a breakdown...gee, I wonder why that would be???

[licketysplit]

Wilson also confirmed that Sam Parker acquired an attorney Thursday, April 5. The attorney encouraged Parker not to speak to authorities any more without representation, the sheriff said. Wilson said he did not know who is representing Parker.

I have a feeling that Sam Parker is never going to talk. He knows that if he sticks it out that the heat will eventually die down and that LE will move on to something else and he will be home free. IMO

[murdershewrote]

so, is Chaffin in or out of jail. I read he made bail but was still being held "for safety reasons".

I think that you are referring to before he made bail. They were saying that a bond had been set at $5,000 for him but that he hadn't posted it for safety reasons. He posted bail the next day so I don't know if the "safety reasons" was ever verified.

Maybe someone else does?

It was actually written in an article last week when this was going down.

[murdershewrote]

that's how it was worded...on a link here. From the Lafayette newspaper article. I thought that was strange too but that's what it said.

Wasn't he a narc or undercover...so maybe he feared that some of his "friends" would now know his real identify.

From 4/7/07 article...

Harbin “Ben” Chaffin, the LaFayette police officer charged with making false statements in the Theresa Parker case, has been released from jail.

Cpl. Chaffin posted $5,000 bond last Friday night, Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said. “Chaffin will appear in Walker County Superior Court at a date to be determined later,” the sheriff said.

Chaffin’s bond hearing was held last Thursday morning before Walker County Chief Mag-istrate Judge Jerry Day. Chaffin was returned that day to the Whitfield County jail, where he was being held for safety reasons.

Chaffin is represented by LaFayette attorney David Cunningham.

[Amanda]

That was just over the bond hearing where the bond was set, which to my reading he didn't show up or something to that. He was released on bond that Friday or somewhere close to that

I don't think he was undercover at all since he was nominated for an award last month from the local Optimist Club. His pic was in the article.

I saw that to. Her mother visited a religious "psychic" here in Chattanooga today. They had it on News9. Didn't really tell much but I think it gave insight.Upon seeing a picture of Theresa, She told her that Theresa was harmed by someone she trusted - (well did she really trust Sam?). And that unfortunately she wasn't alive.
When showed a picture of Sam. She said that he had betrayed trust.

The psychic also said that she knew nothing of this case before being contacted for the reading. I find that hard to believe with her living here in the Chattanooga Valley and it being on all the news channels and in all the papers.

I wonder how much they had to pay to be told what has been all over the news for the last 2 weeks! That is lame.. what about.. where is she?? Anything else?

The most important thing the person could have told the family was where Theresa was. Of course they never do that unless "she is near a body of water with trees and a white house nearby." That always points a person in the right direction!
I hope the person didn't ask for money. To point the finger at Sam is what we all have been doing since Theresa disappeared.

Even though I believe some people may have extra sharp senses about these things this gal sounds really hokey in my book.

"I feel like she had been disturbed about somthing, was upset about something and I feel like it was financial and I think it was something to do with money that troubled her," she said. I feel like she keeps or kept her distress to herself."


She didn't know about the case til she was called? Yeah right.

"The LaFayette Police Department is planning a news conference at 2 p.m. today. Check catoosanews.com for an update on this story.

Sam Parker, the LaFayette police sergeant and a “person of interest” in the case of his missing wife and 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker, has been fired.

“Effective today, April 13, 2007, Sgt. Sam Parker’s status with the LaFayette Police Department has been changed from suspended without pay to terminated,” LaFayette Public Safety Director Tommy Freeman said in a prepared statement."

Snoopy, thanks for the information regarding today's press conference. Wonder if there are new developments in the case???

They must know something. They wouldn't just fire him because his wife is missing.. would they?

From the above article:

“Effective today, April 13, 2007, Sgt. Sam Parker’s status with the LaFayette Police Department has been changed from suspended without pay to terminated,” LaFayette Public Safety Director Tommy Freeman said in a prepared statement. “After an internal investigation, it was found that Parker had violated several city policies that led to my recommendation to the city manager (Johnnie Arnold) that he be terminated.

“His termination is in no way connected to the Theresa Parker investigation,” he said.


Must have been some pretty bad violations for him to get fired. Wonder if Theresa knew anything about any of this before she came up missing? As in, wonder if she was questioned or was going to be questioned in relationship to whatever this problem is.

Hmm! Very interesting development. It doesn't have anything to do with the disappearance.

This case gets stranger and stranger. I think we are missing part of the puzzle tho. Possibly Theresa figured something out??

[murdershewrote]

sounds like he and Chaffin had something going on...hard to get fired if you're a cop unless you're doing something illegal or "off the books" so to speak.

yes, I wonder if Theresa did know about it.

Maybe Chaffin told them something and that is why he was held at the other jail, and maybe that is why they searched the police station. Maybe they found something there connecting him to other activity. Wish they would find Theresa!

[snoopyone]

"Police said Friday they found explosives in the work locker of the husband of Theresa Parker, missing since March 21.

Officials told Channel 2's Joyce Oscar that Sam Parker has been fired from his position as sergeant for the LaFayette police department because of the discovery.

The explosives were found during a search by the GBI on April 3.

Investigators have called Sam Parker "a person of interest" in the disappearance of his estranged wife.

Theresa Parker, 41, was last heard from the night of March 21. Her family reported her missing three days later.

Authorities say her car was still at her house, where she lived alone.

Parker was in the middle of a divorce from Sam Parker when she disappeared and family members have said the couple had a history of domestic problems. According to 911 logs, police were called to the Parker residence for domestic disputes at least twice, once in 2002 and again in 2004."

WSBTV (http://www.wsbtv.com/news/11842148/detail.html)

Why would a police officer need explosives? That was pretty stupid, no matter why he had them, to leave them in his locker.

They're saying it's not related to Theresa's disappearance, so I'm assuming they don't think he blew her up.

[Destini]

Freeman said that a search, conducted by Georgia Bureau of Investigation agents last week, revealed some blasting caps and a small amount of C-4 plastic explosive in Parker’s personal locker at the LaFayette Police Department.

Freeman said he did not know why the explosives were there. “But it put the members of this department and my fire department in jeopardy, and that type of conduct will never ever be tolerated as long as I’m the chief of police or the public safety director.”

Freeman said that although his actions resulted from the GBI search, they are in no

Sgt. Sam Parker way related to the Theresa Parker investigation.

It was said on local news last night that Sam Parkers previous wife admitted that he had threatened her in the past. He told her that he could kill her and get rid of the body so that it would never be found. Also he was heard by fellow officers saying the same thing about being able to get rid of a body so that it would never be found. I don't have a link right now. I will search around and find out what news channel this was.

[murdershewrote]

If this guy can hide explosives in his police locker for 10 years...I imagine he'd be pretty good at hiding his wife's body somewhere never to be found.

Nice guy, isn't he?

I hope that the GBI outsmarts this guy and Theresa is found soon. It's obvious that this poor lady has lost her life and it is so sad. What her family must be going through is unimaginable to me.

[Destini]

Why isn't he being arrested on an explosives charge? If it was you or me and we had C-4 explosives and blasting caps in our locker or desk at work, you better believe we'd be arrested!

Good question! However, I think in the end he will be arrested and locked away for awhile. It will catch up to him.

Authorities said the trail has gone "cold" in the effort to find her.

This is something I hate to read!

Can you imagine if Sam did get away with this?

Anybody local from Walker County that knows what's going on at his house?

This is from another blog:

Hey been reading you guys for weeks. I live in walker county.
Basically Sam's house is surrounded tonight, I'm sure you all know that. The reason he was fired as well. Not sure if you all know this... he made statements to co-workers sometime ago that he knew how to get rid of a body and no one would ever find it. He wasn't joking evidently.
Try nooga.com they have a update on the case under the news section.

I did read that comment in so many words in soundoffblog. I've read a number of them actually about Sam. But didn't know if I should believe them or not.

They supposedly have written statements from officers saying that he has said that on several occasions. I fear that he will take his life and they will never find her.

Going back to Theresa's Mom talking to the "intuitive", what a joke that was, what they aired here was 2 small snippets of the intuitive saying she felt that something bad had happened to Theresa and it was at the hand of someone she trusted... LOL
wow she's a bright one huh? There's no way to live in this area and not know what's going on... everyone is talking about it. It's in all the papers, the tv etc. unless this lady lives in a cave isolated from the world I find that hard to believe.

[TaDah]

Hopefully he will start talking...
Ambulance is on standby, road is blocked off. Walker county, and Georgia state patrol are there as well.
Steve Wilson left the scene, not sure where he is going or if he is coming back.

Wonder exactly what they're doing there .... are they trying to get in the house, talking to him on the phone? I would think this would be a very dangerous situation for LE. If he's threatening to harm himself, they're probably afraid he'll take some of them out with him, especially after the C-4 thing today.

[TaDah]

There was a small amount C4 and blasting caps. Not enough to blow the building but enough to blow his locker and hurt someone near it with shrapnel, thats what they said today on the local news. I think it was just enough to rid the department of him.

[TaDah]

Oh BTW I heard today on the radio something about someone noticing 4 small bruises on his arm after Theresa came up missing, they were small like finger print size. trying to find more on that now.

About 30 minutes away... would be too risky to do anything over in that area without being seen IMO. The roads over there are kinda busy. Really no side roads that I know of that you could even sneak down.

[BobbisAngel]

I hope that he is at the point to where he will confess. This all must be really getting to him. I agree though that if he really wanted to kill himself no one would have known until it was all over with. Calling someone is a cry for help. I wonder if he did call someone or if someone showed up at his house and found out.
He just needs to come clean and say what he did with Theresa.

[lrobert]

I haven't confirmed this yet but someone said that Channel 2 News reported Sam was back in a mental facility?

Anyone heard about this?

http://nooga.com/

Unconfirmed reports said Parker had been threatening suicide earlier in the day.

Come on, if someone were going to commit suicide they wouldn't speak to anyone about it if they wanted to be successful. My brother-in-law committed suicide. He didn't phone anyone for two days prior, he left his lights in his apartment and his car in the parking lot on the evening that he did it to look like he was home but took a bus to a beach and overdosed on pills. This was a person who did not want to be stopped.

Sam wanted a spectacle out of this, so it seems. He got one and now back in a mental facility. Oh, yes, either he is going bonkers or he's planning his defense.

They should Baker Act him and maybe some intensive analysis from a psychiatrist will get him to tell all he knows. Then, if he really is not insane which I don't believe he is, there will be a record of his mental status at this juncture.

Mr. Parker was “despondent and troubled” by the loss of his job and disappearance of his wife. Mr. Parker told the sheriff that he is being painted as guilty by the media, Sheriff Wilson said.

Governor’s office announces reward in Parker case

Saturday, April 14, 2007 ---- Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson says his office has received notification from Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue’s office that Governor Perdue has authorized a $1,000 reward for information leading to the discovery of 41-year-old Walker County resident Theresa Parker.

Parker, a Walker County 911 dispatcher, was last seen in Ft. Oglethorpe, Georgia, on the night of March 21, 2007.

According to Sheriff Wilson, State Representative Jay Neal and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation assisted in procuring the reward.

Missing Woman's Estranged Husband Threatens Harm
Karen Zatkulak
April 14, 2007 - 6:23PM
The "person of interest" in the case of the missing Walker County 911 dispatcher is okay after he threatened to hurt himself last night. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson says he was with Theresa Parker's estranged husband Sam Parker last night in his home, along with Sam's doctor and sister. Sheriff Wilson says they call the call around 8:30 last night and stayed with Parker until 11:30. He says Parker was upset with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the media... And that he couldn't take the pressure any longer.

On the 24th day of Theresa Parker's disappearance, her cousin Carl Cordell is still out early on his horse, looking for her. "I went on the mountains, back around the hills, went everywhere and I just don't know where she's at"

Even though he was up until two a.m. last night as law enforcement blocked his street, the same street Theresa Parker and her estranged husband Sam lived on. He said, "Road block down here and road block down here and they said they was going to commit suicide or something."

Police say that last night they heard that Sam Parker was threatening to hurt himself. Neighbors say he was standing just behind me on his front porch with a gun. Sheriff Steve Wilson says Parker was actually holding two guns, a rifle and a pistol.

Wilson went on to say that Parker never threatened anyone except himself, saying he was "very dispondent".

I just emailed Gov. Perdue's office to ask (1) if his office did in fact authorize the reward, (2) if so, is it normal for the Gov.'s office to do this, and (3) if so, why only $1,000.

If they respond at all. Considering her position of employment and Sam's you would think they would have a larger reward. Not to mention the media coverage this case has taken on. I'm a bit disappointed in the reward amount.
I'm not sure that Theresa's family would be able to afford to pay a hefty reward for information leading to an arrest or information.
They said previously that Sam had taken a polygraph wonder if he passed it, they never did say as far as I know.
I can't imagine the heart break and helplessness her poor mom is feeling.

My gut feeling... is he dumped her body in Weiss Lake. He has a boat, and that is where he and his lawyer friend went fishing. It's a huge lake so no chance of draining it. But I'm sure a fish finder/depth finder would help locate anything out of the ordinary, it would take divers god knows how much time to check it. My 2nd guess would be the Walker county land fill.

Here is the info on the lake...

They have it at http://www.newschannel9.com/articles/parker_11409___article.html/theresa_night.html

"So as the investigation into Theresa's disappearance continues so do her relatives' concern over Theresa's whereabouts. He said, "He's told a lot of people that he could kill someone and they wouldn't know where to find them. I don't know what to do, I don't know where to look."

[BobbisAngel]

How sad for Theresa's family. I wonder if her body was over where those fires were set? He could have buried her there and then went back and set the fires knowing that if the fires got hot enough and burned long enough there would be nothing left. I will be curious to hear if the fires were set. With three of them it sounds like it was arson. I wonder if LE will even check that area out after it is alright to go in there? They should have searchers walk through it and see if they might find a bone or something.

Sam is talking like a lot of guilty people talk...."I'm a victim." He has to know why everyone thinks he is guilty. Theresa wouldn't have just taken off. She was packing and moving. Her car was still at the house. He also lied to LE about her planning to go stay at a hotel/motel with a friend for a couple days. That was when they were going to search close to his home. He is known to be violent and his remarks about hiding a body where it would never be found...what does he think people are going to think :flamemad:

Doesn't sound like he was taken away to a mental facility. He is probably getting his defense ready just in case.

Its a little bit further for me. Still closer than I thought though after mapping it on mapquest. That is where Sam went fishing with his friend? Hmm, I wonder why LE haven't considered looking at it? Maybe the size?

The lawyer friend that was interviewed said they went fishing in Chattooga County, GA which would be Trion/Summerville area not Lake Weiss.




Sam picked Slack up that morning, with a small boat in the back of his truck ready to fish – and apparently with no knowledge of the missing person story that was unfolding, the story of his wife.

“We stop(ped) and (bought) bait, (it was) a perfectly normal little trip (to Chattooga County),” Slack said. "He (was) just as normal as he can be."

Whilst discouraging, this is prudent, I guess.

[lrobert]

Unbelievable that Theresa hasn't been found yet and that no new information has come about.

This is terribly sad!

I think LE are probably watching Sam's every move for him to slip up at some point, and criminals usually do.

[Amanda]

Maybe that is the problem. They are following SP every move when in fact it wasn't SP that is responsible. I am sure that in his many years of service that SP met with many grudges - could it be that someone that had a grudge and new his history or read about it - decided it was payback and what better way then to have SP looked at as a batterer and murderer? Maybe he busted the wrong drug dealer or knew to much about something, that is was a way to keep him quiet? There are way to many scenerios and I just think that if it was SP and if SP was truly a suspect that he would have been listed as that not just as a "person of interest" for being her estranged husband and for having violent tendacy in the past.

[murdershewrote]

POI is just a politically correct term for suspect...believe me, he is a suspect.

[RebelAngel]

:rose: :rose: :rose:

[heartache]

I wonder The night SP was yelling he was going to harm himself
(1) Why call his sister
(2)Why call a regular doctor instead of for mentally disburded people.
(3) If he has a lawyer why not call him ?
I know people who have tied to kill themself and the state took over and put them in mental hospital by an ambulance on a stretcher.
(4) Why are they just looking in a 25 mile area.?
The phone could have been threw out to throw officers off track.
SP knew this whole county as well as chattaooga .He knows what and how they look for. People forget he has been on force for 20 years are better.He has worked close with all parts of the department.Based on knowing one SP ex wives ONE WOULD KNOW HE DID THIS AWFUL ACT. ALSO SOME MIGHT REMEMBER THAT HE WAS IN SHOOTING IN LAFAYETTE YEARS AGO AND SOME MIGHT KNOW THESE DETAILS BETTER .We pray for this family and our prayers are that theresa parker be returned to her family and that people can start healing with this awful thing that has happened in a very small town.:rose:

I think LE are probably watching Sam's every move for him to slip up at some point, and criminals usually do.

GBI will do what needs to be done to get answers. Just like they did in this case.

I LOVE OUR LEGAL SYSTEM - but there are just days I wish we COULD use the shortcuts.

It's completely different circumstance but Millville NJ Officer Robert Vanaman WAS finally arrested on murder charges 6 months after wife Barbara was killed. He's still awaiting trial.

CA Deputy Kovacich was arrested a couple of decades after his wife Janet came up missing. He's awaiting trial too - though they never found Janet.

(I hope this case is resolved quicker than that - whether the suspect is the one who did it or not.)

I guess my point is that the fear that no immediate answers means that no answers will come - just isn't so.

PRAY that the truth is revealed.
Renew your faith if it's rusty, and PRAY.
Agree in prayer.
God can flush the truth to the surface.

TP's family sets up fund "to increase the reward offer and to help pay for private efforts to locate Theresa, such as billboards and posters".

Anyone down that way know what the local scoop is?

Are they keeping 24 hr tabs on the POI?
(almost said POS)

Seems like he'd have confided to someone by now especially considering his weak mental state a couple of weeks ago.

Someone must know something of what happened that night.

I'm not soo sure Sam's mental health is quite what it is made out to be he. He has been exposed to true mental health problems I dare say and, if scared, could no doubt pull it off successfully.

I'm not going to put anybody's name on this board and I don't know why I'm trying to prove anything to you, but just so you know that I know what I'm talking about the person he was staying with is a nurse who works in Alabama, first name starts with an L, maiden name is a P, married name was a B although now divorced, and is a very sweet person who grew up in Trion with him from the time they were small so I guess that is the only reason she is brainwashed to believe he is a good person so that she would have ever let him stay there in the first place.

I am very curious about why you don't want people to know that SP was in Alabama though. Do you know something about that? Does Alabama have something to do with this? You keep defending SP and seem to hint around that you know so much about this case but won't tell. Every time that it is innocently mentioned that SP was in Alabama you keep saying no he wasn't like it is a big deal, when I know for a fact that he was staying with someone that I know although I don't know SP himself and don't care to ever know....so what is the connection....you got mad when I said you acted like you were SP himself or his sister but it just seems so ironic and not a big deal that SP was in Alabama so why the big deal that people know that???? It makes it more suspicious and makes me think that Alabama is connected to this. Maybe Theresa is in Alabama. Maybe you really do know more about this. Maybe the police need to track your IP address and find you to question.........

"NewsChannel 9 uncovered a significant detail in the case of missing dispatcher Theresa Parker.
We found it in a recusal letter ritten to the Georgia Attorney General Thurbert Baker.

Buzz Franklin, the district attorney for Walker County, recused his office from Theresa Parker's case because of potential conflicts.
Franklin wrote, Parker's estranged husband, Sam Parker the now fired Sergeant from the LaFayette police department is "a close friend of my chief investigator...as well as others in the office."

Franklin continued, "evidence suggests Theresa Parker may have been killed by Sam Parker although no body has been found."

District Attorney Leigh Patterson of Floyd County, Georgia told investigators not to comment on this case unless an arrest happens or Theresa Parker is found.

Parker case assigned to Floyd County DA

Interesting.
Stands to reason Franklin opted out since they worked together somewhat

This is pretty telling though coming from a DA

"Franklin sent a letter dated April 5 to state Attorney General Thurbert E. Baker asking for relief in the case. In the letter he described his relationship with the Parkers. He also alluded to the possibility that Sam Parker may have killed his wife."

“Evidence gathered so far by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and the Walker County Sheriff’s Office suggests Theresa Parker may have been killed by Sam Parker although no body has been found,” Franklin said in the letter."

[KittyMom]

I've been wondering if the area had any caves or underground tunnels. Could Parker have used the explosives found in his locker to "close" a cave after placing Theresa's body inside? Wouldn't this prevent dogs from finding a scent?

I'm curious about what they might have found in his police cruiser, if they had searched that at the beginning. I kept re-reading the newreport about searching it, and it looks like they didn't do that until 9 (or was it 11) days later. It was "standard procedure" yet wasn't done immediately?

Not sure when it was done.

Seems the whole process started off slow since Theresa was scheduled off a few days to her move compounded with the new guy in town Public Safety Director Tommy Freeman having started just a 6 days prior to her going missing.

I don't think Theresa's family even reported her missing til Saturday, when the last contact was on Weds night. So it had only been 3 days after he started that she was reported missing.

When it comes from a judge it includes anyone involved in the case, lawyers, jurors, litigants, etc, anyone in the courtroom! I wouldn't think it would be considered a gag order unless ordered by a judge. JMO

I haven't seen anything happening with this case on the message board lately.

Kitty unfortuantely that area does have many caves. Pigeon Mountain is famous for many of its caves that run deep into the mountain. From what I have heard, it is all caves and tunnels for miles and miles. Although most of these are frequented by cavers about weekly so if one wasn't open then I am sure someone would have been alerted. But that is something to think about.

I hope that this speculation is totally wrong as it sounds like it would be very hard to locate a body without having someone tell what they know. I just can't imagine why Parker would've had explosives? If they were found in his locker at work, I wonder what they found in his father's home?

Glad I found this thread because I had been wondering if anything new had happened in this case. My own opinion on this is he's probably right about being able to get rid of a body and nobody would find it, IF he used explosives on her. There might be chips of bone some where if you're lucky that wild animals have not consumed all. But then finding those chips is a whole other issue.

Floyd DA given case of missing woman

Walker DA asks for independent prosecutor

04/28/07
From staff reports
Email this story to a friend

Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson also recently recused herself from a case. The Cobb DA’s office will be handling the case against police investigator Dallas Battle.
Click to view 'Text of Franklin letter'

Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson confirmed Friday that she has been assigned to the case of missing Walker County 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker.

Parker has been missing since March 21. No arrests have been made, but investigators have said Parker’s estranged husband, Sam Parker, a former LaFayette police officer, is a person of interest in the case.

Sam Parker was fired earlier this month after police reportedly found explosives in his police locker.

Buzz Franklin, Walker County’s district attorney, asked that he be removed from the case. Patterson declined to discuss details.

Her role will be to assess evidence and prosecute any possible criminal charges.

Franklin, who serves Walker, Catoosa, Chattooga and Dade counties in the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit, said it is standard procedure in cases with local officers he works often with.

“I’ve tried several cases involving Sam, and he’s a friend,” Franklin said Friday morning. “It would just be better for everyone involved if we weren’t participating in the potential prosecution.” Franklin sent a letter dated April 5 to state Attorney General Thurbert E. Baker asking for relief in the case. That came just two weeks after Theresa Parker disappeared.

“Due to the relationships, it would avoid the appearance of impropriety for an independent prosecutor to advise and guide the various law enforcement,” Franklin continued in the letter.

Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said he could not speak to the contents of the letter.

“I wouldn’t be in a position to comment about that,” Wilson said Friday.

He said Patterson advised him “not to speak about any evidence in the case or any investigative acts in the case.” The situation is similar to that of Floyd County Police Department investigator Dallas Battle, who is under investigation. Patterson asked that she be removed from that case, and it has been assigned to the Cobb County DA’s office.

hmmm...now why exactly is he upset with the FBI? What do they have to do with this case?

[KittyMom]

This is strange. Theresa Parker is not listed on the GBI missing page.

http://www.ganet.org/gbi/missing.html

[Amanda]

That is because it has been a month. From my understanding GBI are not expecting to find her alive, so at this point it is more like a search and recover, instead of a missing person.

I don't understand that logic. I mean, if that's the case then none of the others listed on the website would be there. :shrug: Something funny with Theresa Parker not being on the site. moo

[BobbisAngel]

Sam Parker bragged that he could get rid of a body to where it would never be found. I sure hope that this isn't going to be the outcome here. There were some fires over by his house...two or three of them not long after Theresa went missing. I wonder if those fires were checked over after they could be walked through. For all we know Theresa's body could have been in one of those fires. A hot hot fire can pretty well burn even bones.

Investigator says prosecutors “dragging their feet” in Parker case

“You don’t need a body to convict,” Weaver said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “There are many other details on which a prosecutor can build a case with circumstantial evidence. There are prevailing facts that would convince a jury that a crime has been committed.”

No. You don't need a body, but you do need evidence if you want a conviction.

On Ben Chaffin....

“If he was an accessory in any way, then his career in law enforcement is over, and he should come clean and let everyone get on with it.” Weaver said.

He should tell all he knows, but apparently he's not going to. :shrug:

Weaver said he feels that friends should try to convince Sam Parker to turn himself in. “With a plea bargain he could avoid the death penalty, and we could get this woman back, give her a Christian burial and let her family and the community move on.”

A rather niave look at this. Come on this guy is a veteran LE. He knows how many years he's facing. No talk from his friends and family is going to get him to confess.

Christina Hall and Hilda Wilson were guests of Judy O'Neal on Night Talk on UCTV-3.

They said Ms. Parker filed for divorce after the frightening incident, and Sgt. Sam Parker afterwards mainly lived with his father at Trion, Ga.

Ms. Hall said Theresa stated that she was in the bathtub when she looked up and saw Sam Parker standing over her in the tub with his boots and clothes on. Theresa said he began slashing at her and cut her with a candle.(?)

The sisters said on another occasion, Parker threw Theresa's clothes out of their house on Cordell Road in LaFayette.

Asked the role of former LaFayette officer Ben Chaffin in the case, the sisters said they do not know. They said he and Sam Parker were close friends and "drinking buddies."

Maybe Chaffin had a thing for her and she was not interested..

[KittyMom]

How does one get cut with a candle? Could that be a misprint and she really said "burned"?

Also...he began returning his guns to the home as they were becoming rusty at his other house??? BIG red flag there.

This is awful.
I think of her everyday, and how hard this is on her family.

Excerpts from news that stay with me. I'm not going to comment what I THINK about them - just put them out there:

...LaFayette attorney Bill Slack, who went fishing with Sam Parker on Thursday, March 22 ...We stop(ped) and (bought) bait, (it was) a perfectly normal little trip (to Chattooga County)," Slack said. "He (was) just as normal as he can be...

...Theresa's sister, Christina Hall, spoke to the media about the state of Sam and Theresa's marriage which, she said, included domestic abuse. "I know of an incident last year where she was really scared she was really afraid and she told me, she looked me in the eyes and told me she was afraid she was gonna die that night. And you know maybe I shouldn't be saying that but it's just the truth. You know and that's when she filed for divorce."...

......officers went to the residence on two occasions responding to calls for domestic disputes — once in May 2002 and again in April 2004. There were two calls for assistance on May 4, 2004, one from Theresa and another from Sam 31 minutes later. The dispatch report states Sam wanted an officer to come to check the house. He told dispatchers that Theresa was telling her family “he tore up the house and struck her and advised it did not happen"... the GBI was called in on Saturday to lead the investigation because of his "close relationship with the LaFayette Police Department and the 911 office"...

...On the 24th day of Theresa Parker's disappearance, her cousin Carl Cordell is still out early on his horse, looking for her. "I went on the mountains, back around the hills, went everywhere and I just don't know where she's at"... Cordell has known Parker his entire life and says she's like a sister... "Till she comes up missing... till she comes us dead... I'll keep looking for her till the day i die," Cordell says...

...Chief Tommy Freeman tells Newschannel 9... "He's told a lot of people that he could kill someone and they wouldn't know where to find them. I don't know what to do, I don't know where to look"...

...Sheriff Steve Wilson says Parker was actually holding two guns, a rifle and a pistol... Parker was upset with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the media, and that he couldn't take the pressure any longer...

...Channel 2 has learned Sgt. Sam Parker was under probation for 2 years from the Georgia Peace Officers Standards and Training Council. Sgt. Parker was said to have pulled out a gun and fired a shot out of a window, while he and his wife were vacationing in Panama City Beach, Florida. A summary said they were trying to work out marital problems. The report also states Sgt. Parker had thoughts of committing suicide and was admitted into a mental health facility...

There have been so many rumors going around, some of which have been aired on a local TV program. Can anyone tell me if they've heard these things and if there's any truth to any of them?
1) A viewer on a local TV show called in and said he talked to someone who had knowledge of SP shooting his wife and that he wrapped her in a carpet to dispose of her. Also that there was a carpet section missing from her SUV. The viewer was urged to call the tip line that's been set up. Apparently Sherriff Wilson heard about this call and supposedly obtained the caller's phone number from the show's host...
2) It's being said that SP is staying with his friend/physician here in town who happens to live on the city lake...supposedly the friend has a history of erratic behavior....
3) I also heard that the woman SP supposedly stayed with in Alabama was injured or killed in a car accident recently...

Does anyone know if there's any shred of truth to these or are they all just small town rumor/gossip?

Curious,
I can confirm for you that the "friend" was killed in an automobile accident.
Let me get the post from one of Lisa's friends, when it was announced:

..-unfortunately that friend passed away in a car accident earlier this week in Floyd County ...As far as the accident, she was alone on her way to work and according to witnesses went around a curve and just "failed to negotiate the curve" and ran into a delivery truck on it's way to the Suzuki plant in Rome...

Not sure on the other questions that you ask, but if he wrapped her in carpet - doesn't seem plausible that her SUV carpet would be enough - Unless what you are meaning is that maybe he cut that out to get rid of evidence? I don't know SP or his friends but being he was a cop then I am sure he had many friends, good and bad.

WHOA! I don't know anything about any of those rumors but wanted to say.. seems to me like it isn't going to be too much longer before this thing starts unravelling.

Sam stayed with a woman in AL.. I missed that?

[pray4theresa]

I don't know anything about those rumors except for the one about the friend he had stayed with in Alabama and yes, sadly that is true. It wasn't reported in the news that he stayed with this friend; just known through local sources and this I can say from personal knowledge, not rumors. They were friends, had grown up together in Trion, and I believe actually they were distant relatives. He stayed with her a few nights in the first 2 weeks of all of this, she said just to get away from the news media and people harrassing him. She didn't believe he had anything to do with Theresa's disappearance.

The other things just sound like rumor to me. If anybody knew that kind of information, it just seems to me they would have immediately called the police instead of just telling people or calling a TV show??? Whoever called in had probably just heard that through some rumors and repeated it. Of course, that's just my opinion though.

[curious1]

I thought the same thing about the carpet in the SUV being too small to wrap someone in, but if I remember correctly she was a small woman. I would be very interested in knowing if SP is staying w/his doctor friend because it is right on the city lake which would probably be a good place to get rid of evidence/body or whatever. That's a pretty big lake and not far from the marital home. I doubt anyone would have thought anything about a patrol car going down that old lake road whether it was late at night or in broad daylight. It used to be a big "makeout" place so I bet it's patroled regularly. One thing is for sure, in this small town nothing stays quiet or secret forever. If he did it and told even one person, it will eventually get around.

Yeah.. we were talking about this on another board.

I guess time will tell!

Funny though.. they said there was no one missing from the area. 3 hours isn't THAT far away!

And I don't know if this has anything to do with it but didn't I read that the woman friend that was killed in the car accident recently lived in Alabama? I wonder how close to her this is...

[lrobert]

This will be interesting to find out who this poor victim is. I hope it will bring some closure to her loved one's family.

So sad!

Fundraising Event for Theresa

"No word from authorities in Georgia on whether there's been a break in a missing persons' case.
Those involved are not allowed to talk because of a gag order.
But, Theresa Parker's family still holds out hope.
It's been nearly two months since anyone's seen or heard from Theresa Parker.
Her estranged husband, Sam Parker, is a person of interest.
The dispatcher's family is trying to raise more money for a reward fund.
Her brother-in-law, Jon Wilson, says the family is planning to hold another fundraising event on Monday, May 21st.
It will be held at the Walker County Agricultural Center and it starts at 5 o'clock."

I thought about that too - I hope it is either Tara or Theresa so these families can find out something.

I put the location into mapquest and it came up 2 hours and 46 mins from Lafayette, which is where Theresa lived. Also, there were reports from Sherriff Wilson that Sam Parker's alibi has at least 6 hours unaccounted for during the time Theresa went missing....that would give him time to drive there and right back. It is in an area right off the interstate.

It was almost 5 hours from Ocilla where Tara is missing from, but it was almost a straight route north from Ocilla when you looked at the directions on the map.

Theresa Parker has not been missing long enough for it to just be bones I don't think?

I don't think so either but I guess it would depend on the circumstances. If it was in water then no way but then I guess it would depend what was in the water with it...

Sorry.. that is gross!

[txfemale45]

I was worried about my post too you never know if family is reading this......

[pray4theresa]

Originally posted by txfemale45

The article didn't say it was just bones.....It said it had been there long enough for SOME bones to be scattered. There is an anthropology site that someone linked on another site and it said that 5 weeks after death the body is partly articulated (meaning some bones are not connected by joints any longer and some are). Also, we know that a body in water also changes more rapidly. It is also a swamp so there would be animals there to scatter bones around too.....I say until they release more details there is no way to know how long the woman they found had been dead.

[curious1]

I looked around and found some information that said it is possible for a body to be reduced to bones in just 9 days given the right circumstance. It has been so hot and dry recently....

Sure hope there is a break in Theresa's case soon for the sake of her family.

[curious1]

I hope the same. Tara's family has been suffering alot longer and deserves closure, but Theresa's case is so close to home...I knew of this family growing up in school and even though that's been many years ago the pain they are enduring touches me. A friend told me this prayer a long time ago and I pray it for Theresa whenever I think of or hear something about the case. It's this-

"There is nothing hidden that won't be revealed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ".

It's helped me find alot of lost items and answers over the years. :rose:

[SnoopyLover]

Last night I watched a show that reminded me of this case with such alarm.
I believe I read somewhere that Parker told people he knew how to hide a body where it would never be found. This segment showed the trial of a psychopath-husband that said the same things about his missing wife.

11 PM ET/PT - Crime & Punishment
People v. Daily: James Dailey is accused of murdering his wife but authorities have never found her body. He's put on trial four years after she disappeared, mostly on circumstantial evidence.

He was found GUILTY and sentenced to 25 years to life. He dumped her body in the sea from his boat. The only evidence the DA had was her check book that had fallen in the crack of the boat and the threats he made that he was going to kill his wife. He told 15 people, repeatedly, that he was going to kill her.

I think it is staggering that Theresa Parker's husband has been mollycoddled by those that should be investigating him.

Theresa Parker and her blood family :rose:

[Destini]

The latest article on the remains found in Carnesville, GA says the person died within the past 3 years and they could not determine cause of death.

I don't know if anyone knows what Theresa was wearing when last seen, but here's the description of the clothing items found. There are also pictures in the article. You have to register to access this article.

"The agency also released photographs of several pieces of clothing found near the body, which landowners discovered as they prepared to break up beaver dams that were flooding land off Georgia Highway 320, about two miles west of Interstate 85 in Franklin County.


The clothing includes a pair of black Reebok Classic high-top tennis shoes, woman's size 81/2; a medium size, dark colored, long-sleeved Chesley brand sweater; a pair of size 10, dark-colored Courtenay brand Capri pants; and a pair of white athletic socks with gray toes delineated by a green stripe.

A breast implant also was found with the woman's remains."

I wish that all 50, missing adults and all the children are found so the families can find some peace of mind.......

[curious1]

The remains surely don't belong to Theresa or Tara from Ocilla for that matter since the article said that authorities had searched through missing persons info and couldn't find any good matches. I guess the breast implant finding could rule out alot of possible victims rather quickly if the families know for certain their loved one never had them. It's sad to think how Theresa's family is so desparately trying to find her and then this poor woman's remains have been found but the police can't find who she belongs to...

The part of the story that you are talking about says: "Authorities in Franklin and other area counties have searched missing persons reports from recent years, but haven't found a good match."

I was thinking the same thing as you when I first read the article, but then I read that sentence again and I realized I think what they mean is they don't have anybody missing from that particular county or county in the close area so they know the woman must be from out of town. Plus, another thing is Theresa isn't even listed on the GBI web site for missing persons; I'm sure she is in the database and they thought about her but I'm wondering if they are even going to check for it being her b/c one of the other articles I read said they thought she had been put there between 2005 and February of this year. I just feel like this is such a close time to March that they should at least rule out the possibility of it being her.

Oh poor Sam. Everybody is just picking on him and even going as far as telling people not to talk to him. Here he was kind enough to give Theresa $2,000 to pay the credit card bills and she had the nerve to run away before he could give her the $20,000 for her part of the house. She must have wanted Sam to have that as a gift from her :flamemad:

He even knows where she is but won't say. She got caught having an extra marital affair and had to hot foot it out of town. Without her car! Oh Lordy does he go on. He won't tell anyone where she is though if she is happy there.

And to top it off he's been Waco'd...Ruby Ridged. It's so sad I just want to cry for poor ole Sam.

I just wish LE would find her body. Sam knows where she is alright and it isn't in another state unless he drove her lifeless body there. This S.O.B. will never confess and he may have been right about ONE thing....he knows how to hide a body to where it will never be found. I hope not.

This is my first time posting but I read everyday. Last night on the news it was stated the body may be Leslie Adams that went missing in 2005. She does have breast implants. They were asking for any doctors that may have done the surgery to please contact the police. They are having difficulty with identification because there was no skull.

PS. I hope i did this right. If not please let me know.

[pray4theresa]

http://www.gwinnettdailypost.com/ind...ange_well_id=2

Here is a link to an article that seems to think it is Leslie Adam's body in Carnesville. I hope they ID whoever it is so some family can get some answers. I haven't seen any articles that say she had breast implants, but she must have for them to still be considering her. They said it could take 2 months for ID of the body - can you imagine how hard that is for the family just waiting? Then again, they've waited a lot longer than 2 months already. I can't even imagine.

OH MY GOD!

I'm so happy when these egotistical husbands start flapping their jaws to the media blaming the missing woman because it shows their true colors:cuss: What an a$$!!

"Sam Parker said he thinks he knows where his estranged wife is and he believes she is still alive

Asked if he harmed the missing dispatcher, Parker replied "No…she got caught in a mess and imploded."

In his first interview since his wife of 14 years vanished, Sam Parker said he believes his wife fled Georgia after getting caught in an extra marital affair.

Parker said he thinks he knows where his wife is but is not going to bother her. He thinks she is still alive.

"I think I know where but I'll just let it go at that if she's happy fine," said Parker"

He's not going to BOTHER her? Hey Sam if you really want to not be the main POI in this case you might want to BOTHER her a bit. Also if you don't know exactly where she is maybe you could do some POLICE work and find her.

Sorry for the caps but I'm a bit :cuss:

Yea, really! That C4 says it all, imho.

I wonder who approached who with the interview.



What I would like to know also is why was he a cop anyway, with his history of mental problems and domestic 911 calls? How strange is that.

I'm still married.

I wish she just signed the divorce papers.

One of the things he said was really interesting...

He said the Sheriff told him to go to the mental hospital under an assumed name to get away from the public that wanted to lynch him..........

Last I read he was armed and having a temper tamp because he was being questioned and that is why he was escorted to the mental health facility. I think the guy lies like he breaths air. jmho

Anyone get an icky feeling about that whole thing. I think I need a few minutes to even process it. It was so strange what he was saying about knowing where she is and if she is happy then I will just let it be. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You could be arrested for her disapperance.

He knows where she is but I don't think it is Mexico or Florida.. .:(

[NoKoolaidKid]

I haven't been following this case very closely although I've heard of it. After watching this video of her husband....I think he's a liar. He really doesn't make much sense and is playing "the victim card". Poor me...I've been "wacoed"...I've been "rubyridged". I've been "railroaded" I'm "stuck".

Ok, IF he thinks he knows where she is, then why in the world wouldn't he let that be known? He says he'll leave her alone while everyone around town wants to lynch him? I don't think so! IF he knew where she was ALIVE that would vindicate him, he'd be shouting it from the rooftop! Why would he hide that from people and let them continue to think he killed her? That makes no sense.

Secondly, he says she "got caught in a mess". Well, my question would be....WHO CAUGHT HER?

Thirdly, he says he wishes she would have just signed the divorce paper. Well, common sense says she would have. If it would have been as simple as signing those divorce papers and getting on with your life....then why would she opt to run away? And another man? If she could have just signed those divorce papers and her marriage him would be behind her, she could have the "other man" without running off. Makes no sense.

IMO, this man is lying. Just keep him talking...liars always get caught because they tend to forget what they said the last time.

He had to know they would look closely at him. He seemed surprised he was considered a suspect. I'll bet he thought his buddies would cover up for him and now he's stunned they aren't.

and like she'd "take off" just before he was handing over 20 grand. :rolleyes:

Totally agree .... all she had to do was wait less than 24 hours, and she would have the 20 grand and I assume the house (which he is living in) and land ...... I know she gave all that up to run off with another man ... fat chance.

There is something bad wrong with this man. Scary to think he was in LE.

Oh poor Sam. Everybody is just picking on him and even going as far as telling people not to talk to him. Here he was kind enough to give Theresa $2,000 to pay the credit card bills and she had the nerve to run away before he could give her the $20,000 for her part of the house. She must have wanted Sam to have that as a gift from her :flamemad:

He even knows where she is but won't say. She got caught having an extra marital affair and had to hot foot it out of town. Without her car! Oh Lordy does he go on. He won't tell anyone where she is though if she is happy there.

And to top it off he's been Waco'd...Ruby Ridged. It's so sad I just want to cry for poor ole Sam.

I just wish LE would find her body. Sam knows where she is alright and it isn't in another state unless he drove her lifeless body there. This S.O.B. will never confess and he may have been right about ONE thing....he knows how to hide a body to where it will never be found. I hope not.

There surely has to be some (severe) consequenses of knowing where a "missing person" is, and not divulging that information to authorities so it can be checked out. He only needs to tell the DA, she can check it out, and never has to reveal where Thersa is (if she in fact is alive and not wanting people to know where she is.)

But, that is a rather unbelievable story, even he has to see the stupidity in those remarks. Even if she DID leave because she made a mess of her life, she would still let HER MOTHER know where she is, or one of her sisters. It's not like an extra-marital affair is unusual at all these days.

Now, if she embezzled money from the police department or the bank or the church or wherever, now THAT would maybe put her on the run without ever letting even her mother know where she is. But, botching an affair with a married man? I don't think so.

He should have embellished that story a little, like maybe she was afraid for her life, that the wife of the married man had threatened her bodily harm (heck, that would have meshed right in, if he did kill her and she showed up missing, he could have them check on the wife of the b/f!!!! Or, even the b/f.)

It took him this long to cook up that story, he should have had a screen writer help him with it, cuz it makes no sense at all, IMO. Besides, any one with all synapses connecting would have told LE this AT THE TIME OF THE DISAPPEARANCE!!! His "breakdown" didn't occur until later, so don't think he would be able to say it didn't occur to him at the time. Being a police officer and all that, he would know to say that from the get-go. IMO
