Hundreds Involved In Saturday Search For Theresa Parker
posted March 31, 2007

Investigators executed a third search warrant on Saturday at the home of LaFayette Police Sgt. Sam Parker as the search continued for his missing estranged wife.

The first two searches were by consent of Sgt. Parker, but officers went through the courts to obtain this warrant.

Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson said, "At about 5 p.m. Saturday, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation served a search warrant at 985 Cordell Avenue, LaFayette, at the marital residence of Sam and Theresa Parker.

"The basis for the search warrant was the development of leads and information obtained during the past seven days in the Theresa Parker missing person investigation.

This isn't looking good for the husband.
I worked with Steve Wilson's aunt for six years
before he was sheriff and he seemed to be an up front guy. He had some marriage problems himself if I remember correctly. My instincts are that he will do the right thing in this situation.
Lafayette is such a small town. Literally, everyone knows everyone.
There are always rumors about prominent figures.
Walker County is really a different community than Hamilton County.
It is slowly changing but still fodder for a good ole' boy movie.

I would say that he appears to be a prime suspect.

The husband of missing Walker County 911 dispatcher, Theresa Parker, is now being called a “person of interest” in the investigation, Georgia Bureau of Investigation special agent James Harris said Sunday.

Sam Parker, a sergeant with the LaFayette Police Department, denied in a statement through his sister that he had anything to do with his estranged wife’s disappearance 12 days ago.

Saturday officials searched Mr. Parker’s house for about seven hours, Mr. Harris said. They removed evidence from the home, but Mr. Harris said they can not give details about what was taken.

Attorney talks about fishing trip with husband of missing woman

Two old friends with an open schedule went fishing on a Thursday afternoon, March 22. One caught a big bass and the other became a suspect -- in the public eye, at least -- as being responsible for a missing person.

Sam Parker, husband of missing 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker, got a call from LaFayette attorney Bill Slack on the same Wednesday afternoon, March 21, when Theresa's family last saw her.

The Parkers are going through a divorce. Slack said he was not representing either of them in the divorce proceedings, but had represented Theresa and others in her family in the past.

Slack said he was supposed to be in court in Trenton that Thursday, but found out on the previous day that the hearing was cancelled, leaving him with a clear calendar.

As I said before, it seems pretty obvious who did it. Who else had a motive? It usually is someone close to the victim.

My gut feeling tells me she's dead and my heart tells me he did it. But just once, I'd like to see things turn out differently.

Looks like they have already arrested his coworker who apparently helped him out...it's just a matter of time before he confesses

Nothing like a little custody to loosen up a mirandized (Hopefully) tongue.

It sounds like they are working this the right way.
