[tiny paw-prints]

thanks for posting the above.

this doesn't sound good, and
hoping i'm wrong.

Here's another article

FirstCoastNews


She's not been heard from since 10PM a week ago Weds. and "Foul play is not suspected at this time, Harris said."

A week without contacting her sister seems odd.

"Sam Parker is a sergeant in the LaFayette Police Department patrol division. Newly hired LaFayette Public Safety Director Tommy Freeman said Parker is still working, choosing to keep his mind busy rather than worrying about where his wife might be."

Would hate to have the estranged spouse worry at all

Hope they are looking more than they are saying here

Yes, I hope they are too.

I don't much like the way that is worded though with regards to the husband keeping busy "rather than worrying about where his wife might be." That sounds cold to me but that is a statement by another person.

According to this article from the local newspaper, authorities are expanding their search.

I heard today that the husband has now said that his wife had made reservations at some hotel for 2-3 days with a friend. I guess he forgot to mention that when she first disappeared.

But guess what...they have pulled back the search..I guess do to this new revalation by the husband. Can LE really be that stupid?
I'll bet that the husband said this because LE and the search was getting to close to where the wife is.

The wife was moving. She was in the process of moving some of her belongings from their home to the place that she had rented. That is probably what she planned on doing on her days off and the extra day that she took off. Why would she go off to a motel with a friend and not mention it to a friend or her co-workers? I'll bet she planned on getting completely moved during those days.

The husband did something to this wife. He thinks just because he is a cop that he is smart enough not to get caught. I hope LE goes back and completes that search. They will probably find her there somewhere. That is probably why they got the tip to search there in the first place. Someone knew something.

Her vehicle was found parked at the couple’s residence on Cordell Road in LaFayette.


Authorities say Sam Parker, a sargent with the LaFayette Police Departmen, went on a fishing trip on Thursday, March 22.

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.

This doesn't sound good at all.

The husband goes on a fishing trip the very day his wife goes missing. Ok, anyone else thinking what I am thinking?

Whatever happened to family values?

Did to me too! It's almost like deja vu all over again.

I hope the local LE take a "fishing trip" of their own - to the same area the husband said he went "fishing". Maybe they will get a big fish - the husband! I can't believe LE is not suspicious of him, even if he is one of their own.

I hope they test Theresa's car for any forensic evidence as well as any private car the husband may own. He'd surely not use his police car to carry out such a deed if he indid did harm Theresa (and I personally think he did). Maybe though, he thought people would never suspect he'd use his police car though. I do hope, however, that Theresa is alive.

Georgia Authorities Search Husband's Car for Missing 911 Dispatcher

"He's been cooperative so far, so far has answered our questions," Wilson said. "At this point I would not classify him as a suspect, he's certainly been cooperative but on the flip side, we have not eliminated anyone as a suspect, either."

Sam Parker was fishing with LaFayette attorney Bill Slack the same time on Wednesday when Theresa's family last saw her, reported The Walker County Messenger. Slack had represented Theresa and others in her family in the past. He said Sam was acting completely normal, and seemed relieved that the divorce was going through.

It is reported in this article that Theresa's husband went fishing Thursday with a friend, who is also a local attorney.
"If Sam had anything to do with her disappearance it would be an absolute shock to me", said the attorney.

Theresa Parker's "purse, keys and cell phone are missing". "Authorities have not recovered Parker's cell phone as has been reported......", although they do say they know where it was last used.

Sheriff seeking volunteers for ground search Saturday

Authorities have not recovered Parker's cell phone as has been reported, but they have used global positioning satellites to determine when and in what vicinity it was used last.

It seems the husband is cooperating fully and it makes me wonder if perhaps he didn't do a thing.

However, something has happened to Theresa and I don't think she just ran off. She had a lot of appointments that she missed in the past week relating to her move.

Did she meet with foul play, if in fact, the husband is not involved?

[MystryPhobia]

I have a couple of questions..

If her truck was parked at their residence.. why didn't HE find it odd that it was there for days but she wasn't?? Her family members are the ones that became suspicious since they hadn't heard from her since Wednesday.

But..

On the other hand.. being that he is a sheriff and most likely very aware of the ins and outs of investigations.. wouldn't he move her vehicle away from their joint residence so that it didn't look like she was missing from there?

That is kinda the impression I was getting too Irobert.

Maybe she was seeing someone else and was breaking it off with that person and he said that he wanted to talk to her and that he would come pick her up and they could talk and something happened. She would have taken her purse, keys and phone but not her car.

That car being left there just seems odd to me. He (the husband) would have gotten rid of it.. IMO!

Not saying that is what happened but you never know.

[emdragon]

Nancy Grace is covering this case tonight.

LE says they do have a ping off her cell but can not pin point it to an exact area just a general location. And they are going there tomorrow for a full search.

Husband better lawyer-up IMO. It is not looking good for him.
Husband says he went to home that morning to get boat to go fishing. He sees Theresa's car in drive and bedroom door shut so he didn't bother her if she is sleeping.

Here is what is odd to me... When the husband returns from fishing later, car still there and bedroom door still shut.
Why would he not check on her in the bedroom? Odd?

Praying Theresa is found soon.

I'm watching NG too. They keep saying the hubby is not a suspect. But something doesn't seem right about this. Why didn't he find it suspicious that her vehicle is not moved and her bedroom door is still closed.

[emdragon]

Well they did say she had a new place to live and that the house was selling.
He says he thought that is where she was

It is possible.

But she would have taken her vehicle if she was at the new place.

I don't get it

Either the husband is very good at covering up and not acting strangely, or he just plain isn't involved. Truly, I would assume it was the husband who did it and a part of me thinks so, but he is cooperating fully with the LE. Wonder if they've given him a LDT yet?

BTW, where was the ping of her cell location generalized? Is it within the city itself, on the outskirts, near a lake, in a wooded area etc?

http://www.crimelibrary.com/news/ori...sa_parker.html

Thursday, investigators announced they had used a GPS satellite to locate Theresa's cell phone and have found out the last number she dialed, but they would not provide any more details.

"I'm very disturbed," Sheriff Wilson said. "I have a bad feeling."

This concerns me. I wonder who Theresa called last?

LE does not like to call someone a suspect because they stop talking and their family and friends go into protection mode....

"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."

snipped from WDEF article

The article also says

"The After days of examining Sgt. Sam Parker's home, police cruiser, and body ... Parker's sister addressed the media on his behalf, trying to clear her brother's name in the case of his missing wife, Theresa Parker.

"To the best of sgt. Parker's knowledge none of this searches, examinations, or questions have led to any evidence of him having knowledge of or having participated in his wife's disappearance," said Carolyn Wooten"

Not sure if Carolyn Wooten is his sister or not but if she is it sounds like she was reading a prepared statement.

Theresa "left her sister’s residence about 9:30 p.m. to go over to her new apartment nearby and clean.

“She said she would probably be there until after midnight, go back to the (couple’s) house in LaFayette to get some sleep, then get up and start packing and moving on Thursday,” her sister said.

According to Christina, Theresa and Sam agreed that Sam would stay at his father’s house in Summerville (his father died very recently).

But Christina believes Sam was at the house that Wednesday night, because at 10:44 p.m. her phone rang and the caller ID showed it was from the house in LaFayette.

“I knew it was not her because she was over at her apartment cleaning. A neighbor saw her outside about 10:15 p.m. talking on her cell phone,” Christina said.

If that is accurate, it would be unlikely that Theresa could have traveled in 29 minutes the distance of more than 24 miles between the new apartment at 59 Flagstone Drive in Fort Oglethorpe to the couple’s house on Cordell Road southeast of LaFayette.

Sam Parker was not on police duty that Wednesday night"

Odd about the timeline of the phone call to the sister from the house.
If in fact it's accurate.

Did Theresa rush home for some reason after she was seen talking on her cell phone outside the new apartment?

Was that Theresa trying to call her sister or was it him looking for her?

"The couple was scheduled to meet at The Bank of LaFayette on Friday to finalize the splitting of the equity in their house for the divorce, according to Theresa’s mother Claire Caruthers."

Sounds fishy to me that she goes missing just prior to settling up.

Walker County Messenger

So many things are not pointing in the husband's favor. I am at a loss about this...he's cooperating yet the night she went missing, he had the night off, she was moving the next day, and they were supposed to be settling on Friday.

Very interesting time of events on that Wednesday night.

A big part of me says the husband did this. But why is he cooperating so fully? I guess to avoid suspicion.

There could be another avenue...he could have hired a hitman.

I don't know.

I'm really worried about her, I'm afraid something awful has happened to this woman.

And considering that there was a history of domestic violence, and she was just getting ready to leave her husband.....

Yep, this is reminding me of Scott Peterson all over again.

I just saw this on Fox website...
seems like the fingers are starting to point!

A third search of the family home - this time "investigators executed a search warrant". "The first two searches were by consent of Sgt. Parker............"

Sam Parker was fishing with LaFayette attorney Bill Slack the same time on Wednesday when Theresa's family last saw her, reported The Walker County Messenger. Slack had represented Theresa and others in her family in the past. He said Sam was acting completely normal, and seemed relieved that the divorce was going through.

This contradicts earlier reports that he went fishing the following day. Now they are saying they were fishing the same time that Theresa's family last saw her.

Strange.

Wonder what the new leads are that led to the search warrant?

[Lake_Gal]

I would assume being a cop that Parker would know how he is suppose to act when his wife is murdered. So he may just be very clever. Or he is innocent. But the fact he hasn't taken a lie detector test does bother me.

IMO

Here's some information on her last call:

“The reason we chose this area is because this is south of the Parker home and because the last cell phone call received was from the cell tower in this area,” said Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson. Sheriff Wilson said the cell phone transmission was made sometime after midnight on Thursday, March 22, but he declined to give any further details.

A few more interesting tidbits.

[Kelly3820]

The two phone calls interest me. Who was she talking to at 10:15 pm and who made the 10:44 pm phone call from the home.
