Betcha he's paving the way for insanity.

He says there's "no probable cause" for them to be looking at him? Come on, he's been a police officer, a wife disappearing days before a divorce being final is as probable a cause as you can find, especially looking at $20,000 supposed to be handed over.

"Waco'ed" and "Ruby Ridged"---I think not--the people in those situations are DEAD---he's not.

So, he wishes she had just signed the divorce papers before she up and left. Yep, and that would have left him $20,000 poorer. IF she had run off, even if she didn't want to bother to sign the papers, you can better believe she would have wanted the $20,000 to bankroll her new adventure!!!!

IF he knows where she is, and HE is so unhappy, and being persecuted by the whole world, HE would be contacting her to get those papers signed so he could move on with his life, let alone proving she is alive so he could move on with his life.

He must like feeling miserable and persecuted if indeed he knows at least where to point authorities to so they can find her.

Yep, none of it makes sense, and I think he's setting up for an insanity plea, or at the very least not being sane at the time of a trial, not being able to assist in his own defense. Crazy---like a fox, as they say.

IMO

[TaDah]

BTW do you know that he agreed to do this interview on the condition that they would not share it with Chattanooga Television news shows?
It is SO obvious that he is lying... as soon as he says "no no no no" that he didn't kill her. I don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. So what if she did get caught in a affair they were a ink pen click away from signing divorce papers.

What an interesting choice of words...From the mouth of a man that was caught with C4 in his possession.

The GBI should water board him. JMHO

I agree. Holy crap. I cannot believe he used those words. WOW!

..."she got caught in a mess and imploded."

Red flags. Those are the strangest words I've heard someone say.

Keep talking SP, we all know you are guilty but keep proving it more and more to us.

Oh my gosh.. I totally didn't catch that but SO TRUE and scary! :mad:

When he was asked whether he killed her or not and he said.. NO.. no no no.. That sent chills up my spine. No need for a lie detector test to tell me that was a lie.. you could by the way he said that not even he believed it! IMO

I hope they NAIL this guy!

[curious1]

I know I've watched Dateline stories and other news pieces where the suspect has been brought in without a body and with just circumstantial evidence. The guy seems so crazy in the interview I can't believe that given a good interogation he wouldn't crack. I'll bet if someone made him mad enough during questioning he'd break. He strikes me as someone on the edge, for sure. And if he's so concerned about what the community is thinking, then why not do an interview here and set the record straight? Why not tell her mother where he thinks she is so they can try to find her? There is no logic at all in the things he said. That interview takes away all doubt for me that he did it.

I know...what's up with that?
Did he honestly think by letting an Atlanta station show it those in and around his burg wouldn't see it?

For appearing to be a little unaware of how things work I hope he screws up more or left evidence somewhere.

I wonder what his point was to talk now anyway?
(I love the station that got him to though)
Didn't he lawyer up long ago?
Can't imagine a lawyer condoned that interview.

He'll probably shut up again when he sees his interview went national.

"But part of his agreement was the station could not share the video-taped interview with any station here in Chattanooga. But NewsChannel 9 found the interview online"

Chattanooga News 9 (http://www.newschannel9.com/articles/parker_12527___article.html/interview_says.html)

Hey think they can get an interview out of Chaffin?

That sentence jumped out at me too! I was shocked he said that! I would not say "I did not ever wanna harm my husband...." if I hadn't. Who says that if they have never harmed their spouse? It's almost like a statement of explaining that you didn't want to do it, BUT...... It's such a telling statement.

ITA with you but did I miss something last night. When I was watching our local news and he was being interviewed, I didn't hear anything about him taking a polygraph test.

You know the GBI is loving this. The more Parker talks the deeper he digs his hole.

Funny how he and Lisa Stebic's hubby seem to be using the same excuse..."she must of run off".

Family of Missing 911 Dispatcher Says Her Husband is Lying

Sam Parker told FOX 5 News that he would say exactly where he thought his wife he was divorcing is, but he hinted that she may be in Florida or Mexico.

"The last time she went off, she went to a family member and remained in contact with them, and she hasn't done that in this case which leads us to believe she's no longer alive," said John Bankhead with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

Do any of you remember the very first few weeks she went missing, someone posted on here that she probably was blown up with Dynamite?? I do, I remember, can't find the post, but it was an odd statment to make, and now this???
He came off as the freak he is, what did he mean he knows where she is?? LE needs to bring him in, like yesterday.
CT

CT,

Parker was fired from his job as a COP when they found C4 in his locker at work. (WHY he wasn't fired before that when he had his mental breaks threatening his wife and waving his gun around is something I just don't understand.) That may have been where the speculation came from the poster you are referring to.

C4 is what the suicide bombers over in the middle east use. They strap it on their bodies and blow themselves up.
IMHO that is where I think he got the idea he could hide a body and it not ever be found. (his reported words, not mine).

The fact that he used the word "implode" when talking about his wife should prompt LE to put him back in the chair and crack him. He really doesn't look like he would be so hard to break down, from his interview. The murdering weasel!! <----JMHO

I feel so sorry for Theresa's family, they must really feel so helpless. If it were me, I would be camped at GBI's door with a reporter.





:cool:

[SnoopyLover]

I have seen pictures of suicide bombers in the middle east, the aftermath of what C4 does do, and there is not much left of the body. Most of these pictures I saw were reported out of Israel.

It was hard to look at the pictures but I did look. Shouldn't have, but I did.

:cool:

I remember asking someone from the nearby area if there were caves nearby. I think they posted about openings in the area near TN. I was thinking that he might have used the C4 to close a cave and seal her body inside. I'm not sure how that would affect the ability of dogs to find the scent of her body. That is assuming LE would even have an idea of where to look.

I thought that purchasing bomb making materials was a bit tougher since 911. So how did he get his hands on it?

I have no idea how one would come across C4 but as a cop it may have been easier for him to come by. From what I understand it is easy to assemble.

If you follow the news in the middle east, these pictures come up very frequently. There would be nothing to find after a few days in the wilderness.

Well, the first time I looked, I did it with one eye open. I am not haunted but it is best to leave that to ones imagination. That is my advice to anyone that considers looking. Israel pipes some rather gross pictures to the world. They do it, ofcourse, so we can see what they are up against. Sorry, ot.

I am just totally "blown away" that parker used the word "imploded".

I will have a party when he is arrested. This case has not gotten the attention it needs. jmho

[murdershewrote]

yeah, and let's not forget that pastor's wife who was last seen at a religious conference....seems her husband said she must of run off too...seems to be an epidemic.

So, what does he have against Chattanooga Televison news shows? Did he not realize they can pick up and report on it, maybe not show the video, but they can repeat it word for word in their reports.

I'd have to say I think things have just heated up a bit, after that interview. I love it too, when they start flapping their jaws....
CT

He insists he has told LE everything he knows----yet he says he knows where Theresa most likely is, and has NOT told that to LE.

He needs to put 2 and 2 together and get his stories straight. I think it is one more little thing to add to his list of what to do to try for insanity.

IIRC, those explosives have supposedly been in his locker for some years. Why he had them, how he got them, why they would be in his locker, is anyone's guess.

MY guess is that one or more of his fellow officers have known about their existance for some time, and one would wonder why it wasn't reported, say, about the time he placed those in his locker.

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.

http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?show=localnews&pnpID=730&NewsID=798664&CategoryID=18845&on=1

In the story in this link, Parker says he has had them 12 years, got them thru the department, but the chief says he has no idea why the explosives would be in his locker.

[SnoopyLover]

Yea, Parker says.....he got them from the dept, 12 years ago, yet, his boss say's otherwise.

"According to Freeman, in the course of an internal investigation on the matter Parker, a 20-year police veteran, claimed that the material was given to him some 12 or more years ago and that they belonged to the department.

“I have found no record that the LaFayette Police Department has ever purchased explosives for any reason,” said Freeman, who has been on his job just four weeks ago. He said that Parker gave no explanation of why he had the explosives or why they were in his locker.

“Nobody in my department is trained in explosives,” Freeman said, adding that in his 32 years in law enforcement he has never known any police department to have this type of explosive for any reason".

First, I want to say that I am SO SORRY to the family for your loss of a beautiful, lovely person - She was so obviously loved.

I am SO SORRY for speaking about her in past tense, and if you are reading this, what a deeeeeeeeeeep sadness it had to have been to move from trying to find her to where things are now.

Don't rush to believe the explosives theory - he just MAY be smart enough to be using that as a distraction. Why would a person who is being eyed put explosives in a police dept. locker? (Of course all of us after seeing the video can't fathom to measure the depth of his reasoning processes - but I think it's too obvious to explode someone and then have those in a police department locker where they were likely to be found. If folks are looking for an explosives site - they aren't looking elsewhere as hard. Even the word implode he used - he was dramatic. HE MAY have deliberately given wrong clues to keep anyone from sniffing in the right direction.

He bragged that he could kill without a body being found - and explosives leave a crime scene - one way or another.

He knows that...

What's this about the $3000 dollars he mentioned? I heard that and thought maybe he's covering up a hitman withdrawal he made from the bank. Did she get the $3000?

I was married to a cop (and scared) and never thought he would hurt me personally - Always thought he'd have it done.

Teresa could be far away. Nobody wants to hear that but it's possible.

I'm not psychic - so I'm just thinking out loud. I don't trust him to be as predictable as he wants people to think he is. I THINK he's half-PLAYING dumb - MAYbe presenting as TOO dumb to have a good plan.

That guy portrayed in the video couldn't find his own *ss. I'm not buying it.... at least not fully.

Shudder to think he's smarter than he's letting on.

Here's what I just responded to someone'a comment on youtube:

"It's got to be the STRAAAAAAAAANGEST thing I've ever seen (the video). WHAT was he THINKING, to give this interview - all about him him him. If he's as INCONVENIENCED as he says he is by Teresa not signing the divorce - then why does he not want her contacted? He makes no sense.
He's so narcissistic that he's not only a danger to himself right now. Folk need to sleep with one eye open because he feels persecuted, betrayed, and now - actually a cop-hater too."


Teresa's peeps are in my prayers,

Well Cloud, I thought of my being insensitive after I posted what my gut tells me about this joke of an x cop, but it was too late for me to delete my comment.


Where else better to hide a murder weapon if you are cop, in your locker at work. Especially if you believe you walk on water, like Sam, apparently does.

I just read some local blog and it was interesting, to say the least, but what I figured.

To family of Theresa, I am sorry for putting any bad ideas into your minds. :rose:

[curious1]

Snoopylover, I think you're correct in your theory that SP probably thought that the police department was a safe place to keep explosives. He's been there so long and probably thought that he would be above suspicion simply because he was "one of them". I was so relieved that the GBI was getting involved because I was afraid that if it all stayed w/the locals something might get swept under the rug. Not that all LE is corrupt, but you know there's dishonest people everywhere. Wouldn't it be more difficult to let this case go or drag their feet w/GBI on the case? Or am I just being naive?


Peace for Theresa and her family.:rose:

Thank you veterans.:patriot:

[pray4theresa]

I think he thought his police locker was the best place to put the explosives because he never thought of them searching there - They were serving search warrants on his vehicles and both of his houses so he really didn't have much other place to hide them. I think that's why he put them there so they wouldn't find them in the search warrants..

[curious1]

According to local news, SP's garage was searched today. Here's the link.

http://www.newschannel9.com/articles/parker_12584___article.html/agents_search.html

I really hope they find something this time! The article said that the search was "planned well in advance", but it's a big coincidence that it was done only a few days after his bazaar interview....

It would be great if that interview became the downfall of SP, IMO.

[curious1]

It's being said on another blog that the search today at SP's place was conducted by the FBI. Can anyone verify?? The news article said GBI. Why would FBI be involved?

GBI and FBI Surprise Parker With Another Search
May 25, 2007 - 7:25PM
Several GBI and FBI agents surprised Sam Parker this morning with another search of his home.
Parker is the estranged husband of missing Walker County, Georgia dispatcher Theresa Parker, unseen NOW for more than two months.

Agents removed several bags of items, swept the living room and focused on the garage.
The FBI's Evidence Response Team draped black plastic over the garage to block out all light.
They searched for any traces of blood.
Our investigation showed back in late March, they found blood in Theresa Parker's Toyota Forerunner.
An agent's testimony for the March search warrant reads quote "There were drops of blood found where the latch of the back hatch of the forerunner meets the body, down in the dip or well that is in the body where the hatch latches.

WOW I really hope that they are able to turn anything that they find into some kind of confession or something.

Theresa's family deserves answers and if she is gone from this earth.. which I very much think is the case.. then she deserves a proper burial and to be laid to rest with some dignity and respect.

That's an odd place to have blood for any "normal" reason.

Also sounds like that part of the vehicle must have been cleaned and someone missed the well area.

Hope that person's time on the outside ends soon.

I agree, that is an odd place to find blood. If this was found in March, and was used to obtain a search warrant, I wonder if it was typed and matched to TP. You would think by now they would have Luminoled the back of the Forerunner, and yet no one has been arrested. So I don't know what to make of this.

One thing I haven't heard about--is were the explosives traced? It seems to me that it can be done. That would give some indication if these explosives are really 12 years old, plus they should be able to find out where they were manufactured, and to whom they were sold.

Of course, they might already have done this, or are in the process of. Might be some info they are keeping under wraps.

"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:

There is always "us guys always get cut and we bleed" (paraphrased) ---he could always say that the blood surely is from the time he had trouble getting the hatch opened (or closed) and cut himself on a sharp projection there. ;)

The GBI hasn't said if it is Sam's blood or Theresa's blood.....my bet is it is Theresa's blood and that is the reason the GBI didn't expect to find her alive from the beginning. If you remember, they say that his vehicle was there at 6 a.m. the Thursday morning after she was last seen but Theresa's 4-runner was gone (even though he claims her vehicle was there when he got there to get the boat). Then, when they rode by about an hour later Sam's vehicle was gone and Theresa's was back. That told me then that he was smart enough to use her vehicle to dispose of the body so there wouldn't be any evidence in his vehicle when they searched it.

[curious1]

Does anyone know if the carpet or mat was missing from the back of the Forerunner? That was being said around town and now with hearing of the traces of blood being found in the back hatch area, it makes sense that something could have been removed and discarded trying to get rid of all blood evidence. I'm not in LE, but if it's true that there was a missing mat and traces of blood found wouldn't that be enough to arrest SP???

I don't know if the part about the mat missing is true or not...that hasn't been said officially so it could be a rumor or could be some info that has been leaked.

As far as it being enough to arrest SP because of the blood and the mat missing, it still wouldn't be enough because it was in Theresa's vehicle.....you would still have to be able to prove that he was the one that killed her and put her in her vehicle, etc. He was smart enough to use her 4-runner instead of his.....I hope they do have more evidence than we know of though and that they find her soon and he gets what he deserves.

Interesting... they just did another search on Sam's house the day after his interview with the Atlanta news station and now they have a new search area. Wonder what they found that lead the to this area.

To post a candle to the group for Theresa, then put THERE in the group search (the 2nd box on this page) and it will take you to the page for all of Theresa's candles. Each candle that is lit will burn for 48 hours and then you have to start another one. You can also write a personal message to her. This is just a way to show you care and take a little time to think about her and hope she is found soon.

:rose: Praying they find Theresa soon. I cannot imagine how long the days and nights are for Theresa's family.

Sam will either eventually break, LE will find a clue or her body will be found. I hate to think that this man will get away with murder.

I am from North Georgia, not far from Walker County, some might say a stone's throw. Many of you have expressed that SP is attempting to come across as dumb. I have known many LE in N Ga, and am constantly surprised at how many are not very polished I guess would be the term. I've read written reports, that I had to read two or three times to fully understand because the grammar was awful and words didn't fit in context. No one is perfect, certainly not me, but you may be surprised at how many cannot write a report that is grammatically correct. He, if indeed guilty, believes he knows how to work the system. I think he comes across as losing his grip, but thinking he is holding all the cards. He's not going to tell anything. Any officer will tell you that to commit the perfect crime, you have to leave no evidence and tell no one, have no one involved who may tell on you.

[murdershewrote]

I agree...and sad to say but he, IMO, knows her body will never be found.

Several events have boosted the reward to seven thousand dollars that includes 1000 offered by Georgia Governor Sonny Purdue.

[ShadowFaery]

If SP has told no one, then the more time that goes by, the more sure he's going to be that he got away with it, if he did the deed, and that's when he may start bragging, particularly if he's been drinking. Something will break on this case, it just may be awhile. And if his friends have been told not to talk to him, I'm not sure about that, was it just LE friends? Those involved in the investigation I understand, but I'll bet many of his "friends" just want to distance themselves from him right now. Eventually, I believe, his ego will be his downfall.

Theresa's younger sister, Christina Hall, said, "For us really, it's gotten harder and harder every day. At the beginning of every week, we just hope this is the week that we'll bring her home."

GBI asking for help in Theresa Parker investigation


06/22/07
From the Walker County Sheriff's Office
Email this story to a friend

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation is asking for help in the Theresa Parker missing person investigation.

According to Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson, the GBI is asking property owners in Walker, Catoosa and Chattooga Counties to inspect hand dug wells, cisterns, mine shafts, caves, abandoned buildings and any natural or man made earth openings on their properties.

Property owners who want to help but are unable to complete a thorough search of their property because of age, illness or a disability should call the Tip line at 706-639-2255 for assistance.

Searchers should look for the following items that Parker had on March 21:


Black Nextel flip phone
Large dark color shoulder bag, maroon or dark brown
Clothing, yellow blouse with mid length sleeves and white trim, blue jeans and brown leather sandals
Overnight bag

[Trojan]

Do you feel that there is something wrong with this search effort?There seems to be on urgency to put out information. I mean when it takes three months to tell about the cell phone and the clothing that Theresa was wearing when last seen. There hasn't been any official pictures of the SUV that was, evidently, used to transport the missing person on 3-21-07. Who is being protected? The officials in Georgia could take some lessons from the Jessie Davis case up in Ohio!

I am shocked that you are painting some picture that Georgia LE officers are a bunch of dumb, uneducated guys! :flamemad: These men/women put their life on the line everyday in order to keep the community safe. You have generalized Georgia LE into some category of illiterate people. :cuss:
I doubt you have read every report written by every LE Officer in Georgia so I really do not think you are an authority on LE being so dumb.
Your post just makes me mad. You are portraying Georgia LE in a very unfavorable light. You should be ashamed and if you are speaking for a few that you know, then you should state such.:no:

Still praying that Theresa is found soon. For the Family!

[cloud]

Hahaha.... Let it go.

I want to know where any videos are online of Theresa. I already have grabbed a few of them - but don't want to miss any because now that all the attention is on Jessie Davis the reporters are looking around and people are clicking my officer-involved dv videos. SUDDENLY one had over 7,000 views and another over 3.000. I'd like to add some more of Theresa so they will be on the top of the 40 already there and maybe it will catch the right person's attention. The Main newspaper there where Jessie lives has subscribed to my videos - I want to use this. If national reporters were to move into town and set up camp I think ol' Sam would crack.

[cloud]

Sam, if you are reading this, I want you to hear something. That video interview you gave was noticeably self-centered. I want you to hear Officer Cuts interview - he was equally self-centered - a defense from a sick mind. (Sam you are a sick man and you know this.) Listen to it and realize that the self centeredness is partnered with him now being in jail for hauling Jessies body into another county (is that what you did Sam) digging a hole, and tossing her in.

Interview with Canton Ohio Police Officer Bobby Cutts
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqbXt2kqi0o

And Sam, I know what you are thinking. You are thinking he was stupid, and you are smarter. You may be right - I even think you probably are, but this is an EVIL, Sam. This is not "okay" as long as it's not discovered. This is your SOUL. This life passes in a blink. This life is near to nothing and Sam, there IS a God. I know - and you might know that too. You have to plea bargain with the big guy in the sky... that's who ultimately will drop the gavel on your soul.

Did you take her to another county?
Did you turn her into confetti with your big boom booms and cast her out on the water when you fished?

Sam - tell the truth and let it be.
Just tell the truth.
You cannot undo what you have done.
You can never now make it better.
This was beyond awful - stealing her from those who love her... stealing her life away from HER.
Very few will ever forgive...

forgiving is divine.

But let everyone know so they can go back to their ives and start to heal.
You have not been WACO'D. You know it and I know it. You know they are just smart. If they believed you you'd have no respect for their law enforcement skills.

I'm a praying woman and some things I just "know." Your intent was not to end up the most despised man for miles around -

but (Lord only knows why)
God loves you. God knows how you got this cold. He knows you from before you were born. He knows every hurt as a child that made you bitter and spiteful. No one can undo that.

It was in the news that you have been suicidal more than once. If I were you would I think my life would be worth living now? I'll be honest - maybe not - not unless I got born-again and did that leg of prison - with chapel and songs.

But I have a request.

If you DO decide to not reach for God, to stay in darkness, and you do decide to die -

please leave a note and tell the people what they are crying to know Don't leave them with out word. Do a good thing - whether you stay or go - set all these people free to begin healing.

Praying you take the ministry stream of prison life and just confess. I don't want to hear anyone else has died.

Truth will do.

[Trojan]

I think that SP has enough information on the local officials in the LaFayette, GA area that they are nervous about putting any pressure on SP. They apply pressure on SP and he exposes information about them! What a concept? The longer the officials side step and dance around the more likely that any forensic evidence is likely to be found on the body of TP. How sad this would be for the person responsible to get by with murder and continue to cause grief and pain to the TP family and community.
How much info do they need to make an arrest and start getting the RIGHT answers?

[KittyMom]

This is another Sueann Ray case...just give the GBI some time.

[RickHisself]

We are pleased to announce a website for and about the Theresa Parker case is now up and running:

htt://findtheresaparker.com

Personally, I have feelings that Theresa is alive and being held hostage by someone and not necessarily her husband, Sam Parker. That's not to say he is all that innocent in his disappearance.

Rick Igou
Nooga.com
rick@nooga.com

[gacheer]

Why do you think she is being held by someone other than Sam? I remember hearing Sam in his interview say Theresa had gotten herself in some kind of a mess. What kind of stuff do you believe she was involved in?

[RickHisself]

Don't know any detail ... my thoughts come from a "feeling" that I got right after she disappeared. That's as far as it goes.

Hypothetically, suppose she knows a lot about some powerful people and when she began the split from SP ... someone could have "handcuffed" her and took her away rather than let her talk.

Hypothetically they, whoever they are, don't know what to do with her yet. Maybe they aren't killers. Maybe they just don't want to lose their careers or go to jail.

Hypothetically.

RickHisself

[RickHisself]

My personal thoughts are that the crematory fiasco has nothing to do with the Parker case.

I know nothing about anything going on in Walker County, Georgia or LaFayette. It's just if you mingle with the people around there, you hear a lot of rumblings about "wrong doing."

Where there's smoke, there's fire.

RickHisself

[Trojan]

Some of the most important information in the TP case can be found on a local Chattanooga TV station story.

Just go to http://www.wrcbtv.com (Search: Theresa Parker) and then click on the story: Team Coverage: Sam's History

Christine and Hilda (Theresa sisters) have reported that Sam said, " I will never go through another divorce". They, also, reported that SP had been extremley nice to Theresa leading up to her disappearance. Also, for the first time he had agreed to give Theresa a $20,000.00 divorce settlement on Friday March 23, 2007. She was schedlued to move to her new home on Thursday and Friday March 22nd & 23rd, 2007

Other information can be found on local TV, Atlanta TV and newspapers news stories.

When I add up 2 + 2 I still get 4

Why has no agressive intergation taken place with SP?

[sumter_sue]

:rose: For Theresa

[snoopyone]

I think it's time Sam does another one on one TV interview so he can babble on and on and hopefully screw himself right into the ground.


You've not been forgotten Theresa.:rose:

Praying for this to be resolved.

[ShadowFaery]

Emmeblu--sorry, I've been gone awhile. Believe me when I say there is room for improvement, but in no way did I suggest that every officer was like that. I know better. I owe quite a few for a job well done. So, just cool your jets. I only meant that many think they are smarter than what they are, because sometimes training overrides education and common sense, and that could be happening in this case. It's just a matter of time. Did not mean to stir you up.

I think that is apparent and obvious.
I expected more pressure from the GBI but I apparently was not lucid at the time. :rolleyes:

I have a family member that is a DA in Georgia, but wrong county and wrong side of the state. Believe me, if he had any say, this case would be a whole different story.

I guess Sam spends his days hiding out in his house with his Ruby Ridge buddies waiting for his WACO. What a loser.

moo

[Trojan]

The rope is just about long enough to hang this murder!
Well as the story unfolds, it looks like SP has Waco-ed himself while he was walking along Ruby Ridge. Looks like he acted to quickly to murder his wife and while he and BS the attorney where on their fishing trip BS advised him to go check on the divorce papers. The divorce papers had not been signed by Theresa, so he Waco-ed himself and it just proves that the attorney and SP are obstructing justice by not being truthful with LE!
SAM L. PARKER IF YOU HAVE ANY CONSCIENCE TELL WHERE THERESA IS LOCATED SO THIS FAMILY CAN HAVE SOME PEACE OF MIND AND GIVE HER A PROPER BURIAL!
You will be caught up with sooner or later. Go ahead and make it SOONER, Please!

"The day after Theresa Parker's sister last saw her Sam Parker told investigators he went fishing with his divorce attorney, Bill Slack. Officers tell us that trip lasted from approximately 7:30 in the morning until about 2:30 in the afternoon.

But we discovered Sam Parker was in this downtown office on that day.

Theresa Parker's divorce attorney, Mary Jane Melton, confirms she and two employees saw him on that day from 11:30 until noon. Melton says he came to check on the status of the divorce and pick up his copy."


So ...... the only time they could have been "fishing" is the morning. They were supposedly eating lunch in Summerville in the afternoon. Has anyone come forward yet that saw them there? Did he drag his boat to the attorney's office? Big lies going on here. Did Slack actually say the trip lasted from 7:30 to 2:30? Did Slack go with him to his attorney's office?

Lots of questions in my mind ... obviously Slack is providing a bogus alibi, or else why didn't he mention the trip to the attorney's office? I don't think there was a fishing trip at all, just maybe that's where he put her ... wouldn't take long to drop a body in the water, and he's probably afraid that someone spotted him with his boat that night or day .... all IMO

Wonder how many people are involved in what I perceive as a coverup .....

[cloud]

THANK GOD THERE IS SOME MOVEMENT!
So now within a couple of days - maybe - something more solid will happen.

[Amy]

That man is so see-thru it's not even funny. Once he said that he "had an idea" of where she went "to get away from it all, maybe embezzlement" (from the dispatcers' office--come on, Sam) or whatever indiscretion he says she may have done LE should have been on him like fly on honey----and should have demanded where she is. He would have had to put up or shut up.

I still think, especially after seeing that interview, that he is trying to set the ground work for an insanity plea. Because he's got to know that, eventually, he WILL be arrested and charged for the murder of Theresa. IMO

Chaffin Faces New Charges In Theresa Parker Investigation
posted July 17, 2007

Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson announced Tuesday afternoon that former LaFayette Police Officer Harbin "Ben" A. Chaffin has been arrested on three felony warrants obtained by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.

The arrest is connected with the disappearance of Walker County 911 operator Theresa Parker, but Sheriff Wilson said he could not give details.

Chaffin was taken into custody late Tuesday afternoon by the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force in Mobile, Ala.

He was transported to the Metro County Jail in Mobile, where he will have an extradition hearing.

He is charged with one count of violation of oath by a public officer, one count of tampering with evidence and one count of computer invasion of privacy.

Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson has instructed Sheriff Wilson not to comment or discuss this arrest, it was stated.

"Therefore, no additional statement will be made by Sheriff Wilson in regard to Chaffin’s arrest," his office said.

Chaffin, a close associate of Ms. Parker's husband, former LaFayette Police Sgt. Sam Parker, was charged earlier with tampering with evidence in the Parker case.

Both Chaffin and Parker were fired from the LaFayette Police Department.

Yes, thanks for posting the link. I was wondering if anything was going to happen to this guy and I guess they finally got around to doing something with him. Maybe they did this now because there has been no new leads on the case and although the charges would be forthcoming, it would look like to the public that the case is still very active and foremost.

Wait until this guy tells everything he knows about Sam.

[phillycat26]

I'm glad to see an arrest was made so the family can get to the bottom of her dissapearance. sounds like another case of mad/crazy husband. i've been following the lisa stebic case as she has a website and it's been pretty easy to keep up. i'm glad to see Theresa has one now too.. i'll keep the family close to my heart- sorry for this horrible thing to have to happen to your family.

The sheriff would not comment further. “Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson has instructed (me) not to comment or discuss this arrest,” Wilson said in a written statement. “Therefore no additional statement will be made by (me) in regard to Chaffin’s arrest.”

I'll bet ole Sam is sweating bullets.

Looks like there are quite a few links to AL for both of them. Chaffin was picked up in AL.. not GA. Didn't Sam stay with someone in AL too? I can't remember off the top of my head where but could it be Birmingham?

Although.. behind a textile building.. I doubt Parker would leave her there. He said that he could kill someone and get rid of their body and no one would ever find it.

Hmm.. how far is Birmingham from Summerdale tho?

It was a little odd this body was found Monday and Chaffin was arrested Tuesday. I agree though, hard to believe they would just bury her behind some textile building in the middle of Birmingham. I think, but I'm not sure, the rumor was Sam was staying with someone in the northeast part of Alabama, on a lake, maybe around the Fort Payne area.

My first thought when I read this article was Beth Smith because of Jason believing she was in the Birmingham area. It's approx. 200 miles from Summerdale, but it's a straight shot pretty much from Mobile.

Sam bragged that he could rid of a body and no one would find it. I have to believe that. There are many places in Chatanooga, so I've heard, that one could hide a body. And Sam being LE would also know how to hide one.

So, I do in fact rule it out to be Theresa.

On the other hand, Beth was the first person to come to my mind when I read the article.

I don't think he took her, as in abduction and murder, I think he was an accessory to hiding the body. The charges do not reflect his murdering her (altho, that could change, I guess.)

IMO, he most likely was just in a good ol' boy situation with his supervisor, and wanted to help him out.

This is crazy .... what's the holdup in Walker Co. picking this man up???

http://www.newschannel9.com/articles/theresa_13989___article.html/parker_chaffin.html


Apparently Chaffin formally waived his extradition rights yesterday. In a bond hearing today the judge seemed surprised that Walker County, Ga. authorities had not arrived to pick him up. In court Chaffin's Alabama attorney offered to drive him back to Georgia. The judge said he would not allow that, however he denied bond.

Walker County authorities have one week to pick Chaffin up or he will be back in Mobile County court next Wednesday when he could potentially be released.

Apparently Chaffin formally waived his extradition rights yesterday. In a bond hearing today the judge seemed surprised that Walker County, Ga. authorities had not arrived to pick him up. In court Chaffin's Alabama attorney offered to drive him back to Georgia. The judge said he would not allow that, however he denied bond.

Walker County authorities have one week to pick Chaffin up or he will be back in Mobile County court next Wednesday when he could potentially be released.
I am sure they will get him way before he gets out or gets away.mo

Strange. About as strange as the fact that this man did NOT leave the jail when he was "released" way back just after Theresa went missing.

Hi Onewhocares and welcome to CTV.

As someone who has been following Theresa's case on the news and CTV since March.. I just wanted to say that Theresa and her family have been in many of our prayers. I hope that the person/persons responsible for Theresa's disappearance gets the MAXIMUM penalty that the law can extend.

I think many of us have come to the conclusion that it would take a miracle for Theresa to still be alive. I also think it is unanamous who we all believe is responsible. I hope that they LEAN hard on Chaffin and I hope he cracks and I hope if he had anything to do with ANY of it that he goes down with his "buddy". No deals.. and I wish that there was a punishment that could be handed down from the justice system to him for NOT telling her family where they could find her or what happened to her.

Please let the family member that you are friends with know that their are many people that are praying for them and are behind them in their search for the truth.

I think you're right and I wouldn't do 20 twenty years for my own sister.

[Onewhocares]

Breazy, I couldnt agree with you more, I dont understand how the person(or people) behind her disappearance can rest at night, I've known the Fielding family(Theresa's family)almost my whole life and they are really good people,and would do anything to help someone, its just inconceivable that someone could hurt her but im like you with everyday that passes its getting harder to believe that she'll be found alive but all we can do is continue to pray.,as for the family,i believe they are trying to prepare for the worst because they know this is out of character for her but they are really having a hard time with this and they wont ever be able to put closure there until she's brought home,so please continue to pray for them and thank you for all of your support and prayers :)

Chaffin’s attorney calls Alabama arrest and detention a “stunt”

Sheriff Wilson said Chaffin will be brought back to Walker on Wednesday

The arrest Tuesday of Harbin “Ben” Chaffin in Alabama was completely unnecessary, says his counsel, LaFayette attorney David Cunningham, on Friday.

“It disturbs me that my client is being portrayed as a fugitive from justice when law enforcement knew exactly where he was,” Cunningham said, adding that the three recent warrants served contain “no new information.”

“Law enforcement knew all of this even before the last bond was set,” Cunningham said, referring to the charge against his client in early April of giving false statements to investigators, for which he was released on a $5,000 bond.

Chaffin worked with Sam Parker, husband of Theresa Parker and the only named “person of interest” in the case. Theresa Parker has been missing since March 21.

If convicted, Chaffin faces up to 26 years in prison and up to a $50,000 fine for the four charges.

Cunningham said the fugitive characterization has been contrived for the purpose of obtaining publicity and inflicting non-judicially imposed punishment on Chaffin. “This is just a media stunt perpetrated by investigators who have been unable to solve a crime.”

Rome Judicial Circuit District Attorney Leigh Patterson, who is overseeing the legal case pertaining to Theresa Parker’s disappearance, said that the fugitive classification is normal procedure for having someone arrested when they’re in another state. “There are guidelines and procedures in place to deal with an out-of-state warrant, and we use those.”

Cunningham said that Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent James Harris, lead investigator on the case of 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker’s disappearance, called him three or four weeks ago and said there was a possibility of additional charges against Chaffin.

“He said to contact my client and see if he remembers anything else,” Cunningham recalled. “Now I’m irritated that (Harris) did not have the courtesy to let me know he was getting warrants, and that he didn’t simply ask me to have my client here the next day, rather than go through all these theatrics at taxpayers’ expense.”

The GBI approved Chaffin’s going to Alabama, Cunningham said, and his client has returned to Walker County for questioning twice at their request since his April arrest.

“He has voluntarily consented to hours and hours of interviews on multiple occasions with the GBI, FBI and Walker County sheriff’s office,” he said. “He has cooperated with questions, DNA samples and articles of his clothing.”

He said he and his staff have been in constant contact with Chaffin, his mother, stepfather and his uncle, attorney Ted Greenspan, who acted as co-counsel at Chaffin’s hearing in Mobile on Wednesday.

**********************************

Harbin A. “Ben” Chaffin was charged April 2 with:
Giving false statements. Conviction: 1-5 years imprisonment.

In warrants obtained by the GBI on Monday, July 16, Chaffin was charged with:
Computer invasion of privacy – “On (March 17, 2007 he) did use a computer to access a MSN provider account owned solely by Theresa Parker with the intention of examining personal data and financial information relating to Theresa Parker with knowledge that such examination was without authority.” Conviction: 1-15 years imprisonment and up to $50,000 fine.
Tampering with evidence – “On (March 17, 2007) he did knowingly destroy, alter, conceal, or disguise physical evidence by cutting off the top portion of an email he caused to be printed from the MSN account owned solely by Theresa Parker in order to conceal the email address showing the location(s) to and from where said email was sent.” Conviction: 1-3 years imprisonment.
Violation of oath by public officer – for the above allegations. Conviction: 1-3 years imprisonment.

**********************************
The arrest

The Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force arrested Chaffin late Tuesday afternoon at the Irvington, Ala., home of his stepfather and mother, Neil and Dena Bennett.

According to the account given to Cunningham by Neil Bennett, no less than eight officers arrived at their home to apprehend Chaffin.

“This so-called task force is led by U.S. Marshals, whose stated objective is to ‘locate and apprehend the most dangerous fugitives,’” Cunningham said. “They rousted him out of bed, handcuffed and shackled him, which is ridiculous.”

Dena Bennett told Cunningham and his staff that she was shopping across town and was detained in a parking lot by plain-clothes officers in unmarked vehicles. They forbid her to return to the house or make a cell phone call after identifying her and informing her that her son was being arrested.

Representatives from the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force could not be reached for comment.

**********************************

Chaffin’s return

Cunningham says he discussed the arrest with Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson Thursday night. “The sheriff told me that somebody would pick (Chaffin) up after midnight Tuesday (July 24), and I objected to that because I know that is calculated by the district attorney to fit her schedule.”

In a phone conversation with Patterson on Thursday, Cunningham said that she told him that she opposes the early return of his client because it conflicts with a district attorney’s seminar which she plans to attend and which will keep her from being present at a bond hearing for Chaffin until at least Thursday, July 26.

“There’s no reason why she cannot designate some other qualified person from her office to perform that duty in her absence,” Cunningham said. “The liberty of my client, who has done nothing but cooperate in this matter, and his right to seek bond on these charges takes priority over any seminar plans of Ms. Patterson.”

Patterson confirmed that she is attending the annual Georgia Prosecuting Attorney’s Council seminar Sunday through Wednesday at Jekyll Island.

She said the seminar is the best opportunity for her and her colleagues throughout the state to obtain their required continuing legal education credits.

“The dates for this are set a year in advance, and I’ve had reservations since before I was even put on (the Theresa Parker) case,” Patterson said.

She explained that as all the other attorneys in her office are attending the seminar, there will be no one available for a Walker County bond hearing for Chaffin until next Thursday.

“Mr. Cunningham knows about this seminar, as defense attorneys, investigators, public defenders and judges all have similar events,” Patterson said, adding that she is not surprised that there is a problem when a prosecutor, police officer, a victim or their family has a conflict, “But it’s never a problem if the defense has one.”

Cunningham is also upset with the delay in his client’s return in light of the fact that Chaffin did not contest the extradition request from Georgia and that Mobile District Judge Michael McMaken ordered him returned “at the earliest moment.”

Patterson said that she does not deem it unreasonable that Chaffin will be picked up less than six days from his hearing, “especially since the judge proclaimed that we have 10 days to do so.”

Sheriff Wilson agreed, saying it’s not an uncommon timetable for an out-of-state transport.

He confirmed that he has made arrangements with the Mobile County sheriff to pick up Chaffin. “I will send a deputy to Mobile on Tuesday, and since it’s an eight-hour drive they will spend the night and return to Walker County on Wednesday (July 25).”

Wilson said that as with Chaffin’s arrest in April he is keeping open the option to house him outside Walker County, but will hold off on any decision until after Chaffin is returned and booked.

[KittyMom]

So, Chaffin's atty is irritated. lol I'm sure that really bothers the DA. Fact is, they are following rules and guidelines of the court. And, they've found a nice, legal way to put pressure on Chaffin.

I'd love to know how he got the info to get into Theresa's email acct.

Seems all the attorneys in the DA's office will be at a seminar in Jekyll Island, GA until Thursday, July 26 ... maybe it'll be a good thing for Ben to have time to simmer and think about things, but on the other hand I'd be a little upset if it were my family member in jail. Hard to believe the wheels of justice just stop for a seminar. How many DA's are there in that office?

Was Ben Chaffin Checking Up on Theresa Parker before her Disappearance?
Submitted by WDEF on July 20, 2007 - 12:23am. News

We now know more tonight about the connection between former Lafayette police officer Ben Chaffin and Theresa Parker.

A felony warrant against Chaffin claims he used a computer to get into an account belonging to Parker with the intent of looking at her personal and financial data.

It claims this happened four days before she disappeared.

Chaffin worked with her estranged husband... And both were on the same shift the night she went missing.

Chaffin appeared in a Mobile Alabama courtroom on Thursday clearing the way for his extradition back to Georgia on the latest charges.

Chaffin's Attorney Outraged At Treatment Of Former Officer

"If you tell the mother that your son needs to stay in jail while the district attorney is on the coast in a seminar, it doesn't go over very well." Cunningham said.

Someone should remind Cunningham about what Theresa Parker's family gets told on a daily basis. He seems to forget that she is the victim here.

[pray4theresa]

I agree kittymom. I don't feel sorry for him. Of course they want him to sit in jail as long as they can make him and think about things....maybe after he sees how it is to sit in jail for awhile, he will be more eager to tell what he knows.........this is a criminal and nothing is happening against the law. The judge gave them 10 days to pick him up and they are picking him up after 7 so what's the big deal? Once they get him back to Lafayette, they have to do things in a timely manner as far as giving him bond hearing, etc., and I said the first day he was picked up in Alabama that they would wait it out and let him sit there awhile.....I think that was a smart decision on their part and don't feel sorry for him at all.

Chaffin granted $10,000 bond; Parker family calls it “a disgrace”
07/25/07
Tim Carlfeldt

In an appearance before Judge Jerry Day in Walker County Magistrate Court Wednesday afternoon, Harbin “Ben” Chaffin was granted bond totaling $10,000 on two charges.

Chaffin was booked at the Walker County jail around midday after an eight-hour drive from Mobile, Ala., where he was arrested last Tuesday, July 17.

He voluntarily agreed to extradition from Alabama at a hearing there last Thursday.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation obtained warrants on three charges related to the investigation of 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker’s disappearance.

In addition to an April 2 charge of making false statements to investigators, Chaffin was charged last week with computer invasion of privacy, tampering with evidence and violation of oath by public officer.

of computer invasion of privacy and tampering with evidence.

The judge waived bond on the charge of violating the oath of a public officer, saying he felt it was something Chaffin had been charged with from day one and can be considered part of his bond from the April 2 charges of making false statements.

Rome Judicial Circuit District Attorney Leigh Patterson requested the denial of bond, saying the criteria under state code has been met.

“The computer invasion of privacy and tampering with evidence charges go absolutely to the heart of the criteria that allows this court to deny bond,” she said.

Still,
Christina Hall, left, and her sister Hilda Wilson voice their objections to bond being set Wednesday for Ben Chaffin. (Messenger photo/Matt Ledger)
Day set bond for Chaffin saying, “Had Mr. Chaffin made bond (last time) and gotten out and started doing things to try to cover up and obstruct I might feel different, but I don’t think some inconsistent statements is enough to keep him incarcerated.”

Back and forth

Patterson laid out such statements in reference to the hours of investigative interviews of Chaffin.

She pointed out that on March 27 Chaffin told a GBI agent that he accessed Theresa Parker’s MSN e-mail account with a password “that was written down.”

“He admitted to this agent that he had gone into Theresa Parker’s computer and discovered details about this trip to Gatlinburg, Tenn.,” Patterson said, adding that Chaffin did not mention to the agent that he had e-mailed the information to his own account, printed it, and cut off the top to conceal his act before giving it to Theresa’s estranged husband, and his LaFayette police superior, Sam Parker.

Patterson said that on March 31 Chaffin told investigators that they should search the pond near the Parker marital home on Cordell Road. “He took them to that location, walked directly to an area of that pond and pointed out where they needed to look.”

According to Patterson, in an April 3 interview at the Whitfield County jail after his first arrest, Chaffin was asked by investigators why they were searching ponds.

Patterson said Chaffin’s response to them was, “I don’t know what I’m doing. That’s my stupid way of policing. I’m trying to picture in my mind… I’m trying to think like Sam. It’s like where would he put her? I guess that’s stupid.”

The DA said if that is not obstruction of justice she doesn’t know what is.

Chaffin’s attorney David Cunningham said that offering up bits and pieces of statements from more than 25 hours of interviews with Chaffin presents no valid reason to deny bond.

He said his client is no flight risk and that he’s entitled to the same applicable bond as he was granted in April, which was $5,000.

“There’s no obstruction of justice in this case,” Cunningham said. “She (Patterson) says he cut off the top of an e-mail. Well who was working there? Who is his superior officer? Why hasn’t Sam Parker been charged, if he’s the one who directed my client to go into a computer?”

He said the basis for the prosecution’s request to deny bond is simply that they don’t believe Chaffin. “I’ve never met a prosecuting attorney who believed anything a defendant has to say.”

Patterson told Judge Day that she would not be willing to offer up every statement that Chaffin has made because then it would be public record and could jeopardize the investigation.

Family reaction

Theresa Parker’s sisters and mother were present at the hearing, and said afterward that they feel Judge Day’s decision to grant bond, and the amount, is a disgrace.

“I feel that Jerry Day should recuse himself from this case for the same reasons as Buzz Franklin and his staff did,” said sister Hilda Wilson, adding that since it’s likely Day has had dealings in the courts with Ben Chaffin, he should not preside over his legal fate.

Wilson said she did not know about Chaffin’s misdirection to the Cordell pond or about the computer invasion until the charges came out last week. “I’m sickened to my stomach that he went in my sister’s information and got her e-mails. He accesses this and apparently helps whoever it is that did whatever they did to my sister. He knows, and he needs to be in jail permanently.”

Theresa’s sister Christina Hall said the defense’s characterization of Chaffin’s arrest in Mobile as a media stunt and statements that investigators have no new information is absurd. “These men have been searching and working every day for hours by themselves. There’s no publicity stunt.”

Theresa’s mother Claire Careathers said she is angry at David Cunningham’s complaint that his client was held as one of four people in a two-person jail cell and had to sleep on the floor. “My daughter may be sleeping in the dirt or in the water somewhere.”

What's taking so long?
Tell me this ISN'T going to be one of those cases where they arrest the murderer 10, 20, 30 years later.
AND PLEASE tell me that there is not ANY CHANCE of law enforcement assisted cover-up of any kind happening.
I cannot believe that the killer is so brilliant that he carried out every part of this so meticulously that he is above being charged.
How long is the long arm of the law when the perpetrator is an officer?
INITIALLY I felt bad for those heading the investigation - but too much time has passed.
Something is not right.

Something is just not right.

Officer Remains In Jail; New Information Released
WSBtv.com
April 5, 200
...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. According to the report, Parker stayed in the facility for 9 days. No criminal charges were ever filed...


Why WEREN'T charges filed?


And news excerpts from mid-April:

...Neighbors say he was standing just behind me [sic] on his front porch with a gun. 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... Sheriff Wilson says when he arrived on the scene, he called in Sam Parkers sister... "When we responded here we certainly didn't know what the outcome would be," the sheriff said. "I've known Sam for 27 years, and I'm happy to report that we were able to defuse a very tense moment"... "I felt like last night we were able to save Sam Parker's life," Sheriff Steve Wilson says...


There was NOTHING to haul him in with - out of that armed confrontation?

Only if they WANTED him in custody.

27 years is a long time to know someone.

It is sickening! Parker runs to the mental hospital when he gets called down on his psycho quirks!

Sheriff Wilson was appointed by Sonny Perdue to investigate another Sheriff in Georgia a couple of weeks ago. Some kind of drive by shooting the Sheriff was involved in.

I don't know how Theresa's family makes it through the day. I expected more from the GBI. No one seems to have any guts in that area. Scared they will step on someone's toes, get fired, or whatever. They don't seem to care that there is a innocent woman out there, one that worked for 911 and served her community! She NEEDS THEIR HELP! B@Stads!

Just how big is Sam Parker and WHY is he so untouchable? Sam Parker must have a load of dirt on his colleagues. :mad:


"When we responded here we certainly didn't know what the outcome would be," the sheriff said. "I've known Sam for 27 years, and I'm happy to report that we were able to defuse a very tense moment".

American Pie

A long, long time ago...
I can still remember
How that music used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And, maybe, they’d be happy for a while.

But february made me shiver
With every paper I’d deliver.
Bad news on the doorstep;
I couldn’t take one more step.

I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about his widowed bride,
But something touched me deep inside
The day the music died.

So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Did you write the book of love,
And do you have faith in God above,
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock ’n roll,
Can music save your mortal soul,
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?

Well, I know that you’re in love with him
`cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym.
You both kicked off your shoes.
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues.

I was a lonely teenage broncin’ buck
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck, But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died.

I started singin’, "bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Now for ten years we’ve been on our own
And moss grows fat on a rollin’ stone,
But that’s not how it used to be.
When the jester sang for the king and queen,
In a coat he borrowed from james dean
And a voice that came from you and me,

Oh, and while the king was looking down,
The jester stole his thorny crown.
The courtroom was adjourned;
No verdict was returned.
And while lennon read a book of marx,
The quartet practiced in the park,
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died.

We were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Helter skelter in a summer swelter.
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter,
Eight miles high and falling fast.
It landed foul on the grass.
The players tried for a forward pass,
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast.

Now the half-time air was sweet perfume
While the sergeants played a marching tune.
We all got up to dance,
Oh, but we never got the chance!
`cause the players tried to take the field;
The marching band refused to yield.
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?

We started singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

Oh, and there we were all in one place,
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again.
So come on: jack be nimble, jack be quick!
Jack flash sat on a candlestick
Cause fire is the devil’s only friend.

Oh, and as I watched him on the stage
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No angel born in hell
Could break that satan’s spell.
And as the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite,
I saw satan laughing with delight
The day the music died

He was singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
And singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news,
But she just smiled and turned away.
I went down to the sacred store
Where I’d heard the music years before,
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play.

And in the streets: the children screamed,
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed.
But not a word was spoken;
The church bells all were broken.
And the three men I admire most:
The father, son, and the holy ghost,
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died.

And they were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die.
"this’ll be the day that I die."

They were singing,
"bye-bye, miss american pie."
Drove my chevy to the levee,
But the levee was dry.
Them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."

I cannot believe that the killer is so brilliant that he carried out every part of this so meticulously that he is above being charged.
How long is the long arm of the law when the perpetrator is an officer?
INITIALLY I felt bad for those heading the investigation - but too much time has passed.

Officer Remains In Jail; New Information Released
WSBtv.com
April 5, 200
...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. According to the report, Parker stayed in the facility for 9 days. No criminal charges were ever filed...


Why WEREN'T charges filed?


And news excerpts from mid-April:

...Neighbors say he was standing just behind me [sic] on his front porch with a gun. 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... Sheriff Wilson says when he arrived on the scene, he called in Sam Parkers sister... "When we responded here we certainly didn't know what the outcome would be," the sheriff said. "I've known Sam for 27 years, and I'm happy to report that we were able to defuse a very tense moment"... "I felt like last night we were able to save Sam Parker's life," Sheriff Steve Wilson says...


There was NOTHING to haul him in with - out of that armed confrontation?

Only if they WANTED him in custody.

27 years is a long time to know someone.

I TOTALLY agree with EVERYTHING you said cloud.. it is an OUTRAGE! That man needs to be arrested and NOW! This is ridiculous and he is getting away with murder. We should all be outraged.

Amazing myspace page you have made. As a member of the "domestic violence family" (not LE related) it is hard to read those but you have done a wonderful job in gathering information on each case and showing just how prevelant the problem is. I remember Cystal's story vividly. Very very sad and I have thought about and prayed often for their children.

This has got to be so hard for her family. Nobody should every have to go through this. It is the most horrible feeling.

Bless this guy who is doing investigative work to find her. He is an angel. You know I keep going back to t hat statement of Sam's that he knew where she was. There is always some truth in every lie.

I'm posting this idea from another blog on Theresa. I hope everyone will join us:

It was reported in the media that her sisters are planning on releasing balloons on Theresa's birthday, which is September 9. We think it would be good if we expanded this effort and everyone who cares about Theresa releasing their own balloons in her honor. You can choose to release 1, 42 because she would be turning 42, or any other number....any number would be great. We are planning on putting a flyer on the ribbon that says something like: Happy Birthday Theresa. Missing since March 21, 2007. If you have any information please contact GBI Special Agent James Harris or GBI Agent David Gilleland at 706-639-2255 (24 Hour). Some people have said the time for this will be approximately 7 pm but if that isn't a good time you could do it at your own time that day. If you want to print a picture of Theresa to put on the balloon flyer, then you can go to http://news.webshots.com/photo/2621851710101637750wFtelP.

This would be a great way to show that we haven't forgotten Theresa and a way to get her name out there to others. I hope as many people as possible will participate.

Melton says he came in around 11:30 to pick up copies of divorce papers and left around noon. And our earliest research uncovered Theresa Parker called 911 for help two times from her marital home. We also learned that Sam Parker blew up when the couple was in Florida in 2003. He went to a psychiatric hospital after saying he would blow his brains out with Theresa handcuffed to him....

Supposedly, from what I've been reading on another blog. I know the GBI tends to keep their investigations pretty close to the vest. I want to believe they are, anyway.

Also, from the above link:

"The high-profile investigation still continues.

Christina Hall, one of Theresa’s sisters, said, “This is the hardest thing our family has dealt with.”

“We are very pleased how the FBI and GBI are handling this. They are going to be things happening in the next few weeks to show how hard they are working to bring Theresa home,” Hall said."

[Leanne Weich]

Destini, I sure hope they are working on it. Seems like if they are, they've run out of leads, imo.

“There have been no new names added to our list,” said Wilson.

New Development On Six Month Mark of Parker's Disappearance
September 21, 2007 - 5:25PM

Theresa Parker - 6 Months Gone
John Madewell continues to investigate the disappearance of Walker County 911 Dispatcher, Theresa Parker. Authorities have served yet another search warrant on her estranged husband's home.
911 dispatcher Theresa Parker has been missing for six months today.
The Walker County, Georgia Sheriff's Department, the GBI and people who know Parker, have spent weeks searching for her.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation executed another search warrant at and around Parker's marital home.
This one comes because of the work of "Eddie," a highly trained search dog from Great Britain.
Any development brings relief to Parker's sister, Christina Hall.
"I don't forget every day. I think about it when my feet hit the floorin the morning, when I lay my head down at night, it seems like every second of the day," Hall said.
Hall wears a button picturing her sister Theresa Parker and a yellow ribbon every day.
Yellow and blue are Theresa's favorite colors.
And an English Springer Spaniel named Eddie brought a ray of hope yesterday.
He's worked more than 200 high profile homicides and missing persons cases internationally.
"Eddie" detected something at the marital home that secured agents another search warrant.
"I feel like if anybody can find Theresa, I feel like if anybody can find Theresa, I feel like Eddie can do it, I really do."

Agents searched Thursday for approximately six hours at the Parker home and garage. Their next step was to search an area two lots north of the home on Cordell Avenue.

We noticed pink markers staked at the Parker's house and on the property agents searched.
Through digging, we found out the G-B-I placed them. Some are property markers and some are quote places of interest.
Meanwhile, faded blue ribbons still fly on Cordell Avenue, underscoring the length of Theresa's disappearance.
But her sister saw a positive in the faded color, "I think also it shows they're not coming down, we're not giving up."

A banner offering a reward still flies at Theresa's mother's house.
And the 21st of every month resonates with Theresa's sister.
The last time Christina saw Theresa, March 21st, a feeling overcame her, one sisters understand.

"We always hug, we're a very loving family. But that night for some reason I felt the need, I told her I love you more than anything in the world," Hall said.


Hall says despite the many disappointments and empty leads, she and her family will not give up hope until Theresa Parker is found.
Meanwhile, search dog "Eddie" is expected to be here for several more days.

WHY WOULD THIS PERSON JUST LEAVE AND NOT EVEN TELL HER SISTER. I WOULD CHECK ON HER IF I WAS HER FAMILY. IF ITS NOT IN HER NATURE TO DO THIS THEN SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT. MOST PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONDSIABLE LET SOMEONE KNOW IF THEY ARE GOING AWAY SO NO ONE WORRIES BUT MAYBE SOMETHING HAPPENED ALONG THE WAY. YOU HEAR STORIES LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME AND MOST OF THE TIME THEY DO NOT HAVE GOOD ENDINGS. WHY WOULD THIS PERSON NOT CONTACT A FRIEND OR HER SISTER OR ANYONE CLOSE TO HER AND LET HER KNOW WHERE SHE IS?

I was hoping for something new by now with the dog that picked up something at the house and property. Haven't been online for a bit.. there is not anything new from that search??

:rose: For Theresa and her family:rose:

It is time that the husband does the right thing and tells this family where to find Theresa. What a selfish.. self centered.. ego maniac... (I will stop there). I hope that he has been so ostercized from the community that he feels like he has NO WHERE SAFE TO GO cause this is ridiculous that he is still walking around after more than 6 months and her family has been given NO ANSWERS!

Parker Missing For Eight Months (includes video)

Today marks not only eight months since Parker disappeared, but also the first Thanksgiving for Parker's family without her.
And they have noticed the eerie similarities to the Stacy Peterson case in Illinois.
...
Back in Georgia, Theresa Parker's estranged husband Sam Parker remains the only person of interest. He too was fired from the LaFayette police department...for an unrelated reason.
Theresa Parker's mother and sister have taken notice of the Peterson similarities.
Christina Hall called the similarities eerie, "I see it too, I really do. I see it and I hurt for the family too because I know exactly what they're going through. It's all too similar, it really is."

It is a shame that her missing is not as important as Stacy Peterson... I will never understand the media they pick up on one missing person and talk about it for months repeating the same thing over and over and they could take that hour and do at least 4 missing people....or more

is it just me or is any missing person no matter the sex or age should get the same attention?

ok I will get off my soap box for now.

[cloud]

I don't believe that it has anything to do with missing women/wives or chldren at all - but they keep 3 or 4 ongoing dramatic new stories on the news for RATINGS and to keep us from thinking about/ talking about IRAQ.

They [NATIONAL networks] pick a few stories with INTRIGUE and layers - to avoid reporting world politics and the cost on the world of war.

[txfemale45]

the shows that do the stories of missing people like Nancy Grance and Greta they don't cover the war....

[cloud]

The Peterson case is not limited to those two shows, and has been on the regular national news - CNN - MSNBC - FOX - everytime there is a development.

I'm not complaining - just giving my observation as a collector of news that there are MANY missing people.

From those, the ones that are selected - even for Greta and Nancy - have "elements" that lead to ratings.

It's unfortunate.

Perhaps we should have a missing persons channel - including missing kids too - so people can help with what is happening if possible.

CourtTV forums is pretty close to that for me.

I totally agree with you, there should be a missing persons channel. Considering the number of missing people only a small handful get national attention.

Hi txfemale45!

I'm with you, all missing person cases should get the same attention. The only problem is that there aren't enough hours in the day to report on them all. Like cloud said, there should be a channel dedicated to missing persons. It seems the only ones that get national attention are the ones that have an element of drama surrounding them. It's a shame.

I'd seen the 1st one he had done after Theresa went missing when he was all animated and glib.

Seems he's toning it down a bit now but I still think he's lying though his teeth and would love to see someone tear his story up and FIND Theresa:rose:

That guy is some piece of work and I agree.. it is sad that a select few missing persons get the attention of the media, while others fall through the cracks.

9 MONTHS???

This guy has done what he said he would.. he killed her and made it so no one would ever find her body.

But.. hopefully just when he thinks that he can let his guard up and relax.. Theresa will be found. We can pray anyway. This man belongs behind bars but more than that.. her family deserves to know where she is and say their goodbyes.

Sam Parker Gives Lengthy Interview

[Destini]

If someone close to this investigation is reading here, please, please, please check to see if this UID has been checked against Theresa. This has been bothering me for months. I know the odds are it isn't her, but I would feel so much better knowing that someone is looking into this.

"We now know she was between 5'2" and 5'7". Still don't know if she was white, black or native American. The pathologists do believe she had been buried there anywhere from 3 months prior to the bones being found and 4 years," said Franklin.

December 21, 2007 - 4:59PM

Today marks nine months since 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker vanished in Walker County.
The GBI, FBI, local officers and dozens of volunteers combed wooded areas, looking for any clues.
We interviewed Theresa Parker's two sister's and mother today.
All three say Christmas will be very tough because Theresa was the "backbone" of the family who organized gatherings.
In fact, all three say they could not find the emotional strength to put up Christmas decorations.
Her mother usually puts up her Christmas tree in a corner of her kitchen, but not this year.
Throughout the investigation, agents have interviewed Theresa's estranged husband Sam Parker.
They've also searched his house and property multiple times.
The couple was in the middle of a divorce and we found three calls on Sam for domestic violence.
He was fired as a sergeant at the LaFayette police department after explosives were found in his locker.
But he has never been charged with anything.
Almost two weeks ago, he went on a local access cable show and said he did not hurt his wife.
That said, her mother says one thing would greatly comfort her this Christmas.
Claire Careathers said, "I'd give anything in the world with Christmas around the corner that he would come forward and let this family know what happened to Theresa." When asked if she thought that would happen, she thought for several seconds, shook her head and said, "No, I don't think he will ever tell."

To reiterate, Sam Parker has been called only a person of interest, not a suspect, Kim.
Sheriff Steve Wilson says the case is still a very active investigation.

I would love a closure. But it is a long way from Meredith.

I wonder if this Michael Hilton (Meredith Emerson case) had anything to do with Theresa's disappearance? Weird but Walker County is in the N GA Mountains. I do hope that LE will take a look at this missing case as well.

:rose: [/*]

Looking at a map, I did notice the area she disappeared from is right on the edge of the Chattahoochee National Forest. My problem with Hilton having anything to do with this is that her car was gone from the home that morning & then reappeared. I just don't think a serial killer would drive her car back to her house.
I still believe this was someone close to her.

I do wonder, however, if LE has searched the forest area.

[Lrobert1]

Gees, I just can't believe nothing is happening in this case. It's a shame that she hasn't been found and that her husband is still living free. I hope the guilt eats at him every single day.

[zoesmama]

I was just wondering if Theresa had a dog she took for walks on a park trail? Or just take walks herself???

Meredith Emerson's killer, Gary Hilton is also being linked to other unsolved crimes in the North GA area and I immediately thought of Theresa.

Like the North GA hiker, Meredith Emerson, some of the victims of the unsolved crimes in the North GA area have a dog they took to parks for walks or just hike themselves.

They just discoved the body of Cayle Bywater of Athens, GA. She was last seen walking her dog at a park trail. They are right now saying no connection, but I believe there could be.

Hilton also has a dog, an Irish Setter. He probably uses his dog as a way to strike up a conversation with his victims.

According to the news, he has been basically living out of his van in the North GA & NC mountains for the past 30 years, as well as Florida. So really, Lafayette would not be that far for him to travel.

I live in Cleveland TN and it's really creepy for the heinous crime and murder of Meredith Emerson be so close to home.

PRAYING FOR THERESA'S FAMILY:rose:

Amen to that.

I think of Theresa often and pray that justice will be served for her. Prayers for her and her family and for her husband to do the right thing. But.. I fear that the window for that to happen has passed and it just gets easier and easier for him every day to continue the lie.

I don't think her case is connected to the Gary Hilton cases. It was again a case of her trying to get away from her abusive husband.. his vehicle was at the home and witnesses by LE when she was the only one that was suppose to be there.. monies that were suppose to exchange hand that never happened because she went missing.. the husbands action afterwards.. as well as.. him telling people that he could kill someone and they would never be found... the list can go on and on. Unfortunately.. it all points to him.

O/T.. hope you are feeling well!

I would like to see justice for Theresa too. I think ole Sam Parker is as guilty as sin. I hate that he is getting away with this. There are so many husbands that are suspects that are getting away with murder. It just makes me want to scream.

Hi there,
Does anyone have idea idea if bond was ever set and if so how much? I have been trying to search the web for info, but there doesn't seem to be any new articles since his arrest. I'm wondering if he got out or is languishing behind bars (my hope).

TIA! I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend.:seeya:

Imo, they have arrested him now knowing that she would not have been gone this long without some kind of contact with someone.

There is usually a delay in missing persons cases before arrest happen. They are going forward faster now......they used to wait 2-3 years but they know that the public is very aware of missing person cases and knows that juries know people just don't walk off the face of the earth especially in the middle of getting a divorce.

That was pretty much wasted air time. He really didn't say much at all except that he couldn't say much at all.

At least he was cleaned up for this one. And not making off the wall statements like in the first one---which I still believe was an attempt at craziness, setting up for an insanity defense. Or at the least, an unfit to stand trial one.

He was in court yesterday.. some interesting information came out about Sam. One that stuck out was..


Mrs. Caruthers said Sam talked to her after her boyfriend was arrested on a traffic violation. She lived next door to Sam.

She said he told her, “If me or Greg crossed the property line, he would kill us and bury us and they’d never find us.”



http://timesfreepress.com/news/2008/feb/26/sam-parker-pleads-not-guilty-witnesses-recount-thr/

There is more information from today.

I will get the links.

I did find it interesting that they are saying that he is being housed in a different county but I found him on the Walker County Jail registry. (see a couple of post above)

[MystryPhobia]

Here is another one.. from today.. that describes even more of the testimony in the bond hearing yesterday..

http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2008/feb/27/parker-bond-pending-judges-decision/

-----Six witnesses described a rough and raging Sam Parker during his bond hearing and arraignment Tuesday morning.

“He told me, ‘I have killed before, and I will kill again,’” said Tabitha Thomas, who has known Mr. Parker for at least seven years.

Mrs. Thomas, Theresa Parker’s former sister-in-law, said Mr. Parker made that comment regarding a family dispute.

------Mr. Parker’s ex-wife Keila Beard told the courtroom that after about three years of marriage “something clicked” when she asked her husband about a conversation he had with a woman she didn’t recognize.

“All of a sudden he got real hostile,” she said. “He grabbed me by the back of my hair and drug me through the house. He handcuffed me to the bed.”

On another occasion he threatened to kill her, she said.

“He pulled his gun out and held it to my head and said he would blow my brains all over the wall,” she said.

[MystryPhobia]

Here is the updated one from today.. I guess he may be housed somewhere else but he is still listed on their registry.

Hi all,

I was just wondering if the Judge made a decision yet re: bond. From what I read from the hearing, it does not sound like he should be granted any since he seems to have violent tendencies & could be a danger to others - if not run away altogether.

The the Judge say how long he needed to think about this issue?

TIA!!!

So, is Sam still saying he knows where his wife went? I would think that he would divulge this information now that he has been charged with murder. Wouldn't it be better to divulge that information instead of going thru a darn trial?

I don't Cheryl, I was hoping to come on here and see that they found Theresa. I so wish her husband would tell them where she is to give her family closure.

[cherylt]

jtazzy - I know ; I think we all check here from time to time hoping that very same thing. Maybe, just maybe, before the trial for some kind of plea bargain - he will tell them where her body is. He won't do it out the "goodness of his heart" but maybe he'll do it to spare himself the DP or get a few jail privileges. Cops! How do the ones that kill know how to successfully kid rid of a body! (except for Bobby Cutts, of course...)
