GA - Theresa Parker, 41, Lafayette, 21 March 2007 - #2

[DEPUTYDAWG]

THANK YOU to gagal and bobbisangel for responding to my request re the burns.

P.S. Yeah, that case where the guy cut the gal up and BBQ'd her for 3 days was just a few hours away from me. Sicko, sicko, sicko. Unbelievable.

I am undecided on whether I believe most psychics or not.I hope noone thought I was giving my view or belief when I posted the message,I was just passing what I heard on.I think the proof will be if the case is ever solved.Also was just letting all know that she has not been forgotten around here.It is not as widely in the news as I think it should be but she is still being thought of.I don't post much but read almost everything on WS it is the first site I read when I get on the computer.I love to read everyone's thoughts and opinions on everything.

Oh no, I didn't think that. I'm always glad to hear what's being said and other people's ideas so I hope you don't think I was being sarcastic when I said I don't believe them. I was just saying I don't put much faith into what they say and think most are just either crazy or con artists. Of course, there is always the possibility that I'm wrong so if I was in that situation I would listen to what they have to say but definitely wouldn't give my money for it as if they were telling the truth I feel they would just want to tell for the right reasons, not $. Thanks for posting what you hear and I hope you continue to visit websleuths.

I am actually from Summerville so very close to Lafayette and even though I didn't know Theresa it feels like I do now just because it happened so close to home. I know people that knew Sam well including Lisa Palmer that died in the car wreck that the psychic spoke of. Just hoping and praying that she is found soon and that the family gets some answers along w/ Sam getting what he deserves.

I was looking for behavior from the ex that would tip off that he planned to make sure that Theresa didn't successfully move out and sell the house to him on Friday.

Taking it from the perspective that he didn't have anything to do with Theresa's disappearance, he would have been buying her share out for the house on Friday and moving back in when she moved out on Saturday.

Anything that indicated he knew that wouldn't happen?

Was the financing for the sale at the bank on Friday ready? Or had he not bothered taking actions needed for it to go through?

He was at her house Wednesday evening, from what I understand from info in a news report, after burning some leaves and debris in the yard at his father's house according to a neigbor.

Theresa told her sister that he offered to get her some boxes for the move, which totally surprised her. She said it wasn't like him.

I am thinking that burning the leaves and then going to see her just before she disappeared with a totally out of character excuse was for a reason. What reason? I don't know, but I suspect it was to have an excuse for any evidence that may have been found.

No evidence was found, and no excuse needed, but I also think that a phone call made from Theresa's house to her sister three hours later was to establish an intruder at her home, thus no surprise that she disappeared.

That the family immediately suspected him of making the call and no mention of an intruder from the police I think didn't go to plan.

rd-

I like how you generally keep your comments matter of fact and on topic. I assume you to be a very level headed, focused individual and I appreciate that. Concerning your most recent post-

No evidence was found, and no excuse needed, but I also think that a phone call made from Theresa's house to her sister three hours later was to establish an intruder at her home, thus no surprise that she disappeared.

That the family immediately suspected him of making the call and no mention of an intruder from the police I think didn't go to plan.

That particular phone call has puzzled me too. If it was placed by Sam in an effort to simulate an intruder, why would Sam’s “intruder” make his call to Christina? How would Sam’s “intruder” even know Christina’s phone number? And, why would Sam’s “intruder” choose to hang up without speaking?

Christina asked Sam on two separate occasions if he placed the call. In both instances Sam told her “no.”

My first thought was that Sam had experienced a momentary lapse of reason… If he had first called TP’s cell phone number (which we don’t know one way or the other) and it was busy or unavailable, he may have habitually then dialed Christina’s residence. If he had plans to kill TP when she arrived at the marital residence, I think he would have been pumping with adrenalin. Anxious.

Christina has been the sole source of nearly every decent clue we have to work with.
Do you think she would also be subject to the “gag order?”

I think rd would be an excellent person to interview Christina. Really now, what could LE do to a missing ladies sister who is just telling it like it is? She would not be revealing LE knowledge or strategy… She should be allowed to speak her mind.

How bout it?

Are you kidding me? You and gagal know tons more about this than I do.

But concerning the phone call, I am thinking a couple of things.

One, although I rarely use it, many phones have a redial button, often well marked, although if it isn't it might point to someone who knows the phone well, like maybe it's his own.

I suspect that the person who called at 10:44 pm only hit the redial button, and on purpose. I think that it would be an attempt to show an intruder there who "accidentally" hit the redial button, giving his presence away via caller id.

I am assuming that whether Theresa's sister had noticed or not, that the call, at least this call, the last call from Theresa's house, would be available to investigators, and thus shows suspicious activity in her house at a critical moment, that being just about when she would be returning home from working on her new apartment.

Given it was at that time, there is also the possibility that it was intended to look like Theresa came in the door and was accosted by an intruder, where she was only able to make it to the phone, knock off the receiver, and perhaps redial was supposed to be an accident. She certainly would have dialed 911 if she could dial.

This is also all within context of a very important call, that being the person Theresa was talking to on her cellphone at 10:15 pm, where she was seen by a neighbor talking on her cellphone outside of her new apartment. It is the 10:15 pm to 10:44 pm time frame for which is about the time frame to drive home.

Investigators have stated they know who she was talking to on that last call, but haven't stated who.

It is my assumption that it was the ex. I suspect that he called from his cellphone for some reason as a setup, and indicated to Theresa something which would have placed him well away from her house. It's my feeling that he expected her to call her sister with some info that when that call came from Theresa's house, the ex would not have been suspected of being there.

Theresa left, presumably straight for home, but did not call her sister after that.

I feel the call was made from her house to simulate an attack that hadn't taken place yet, but would shortly.

Here is the critical info concerning those phone calls:

from Walker County Messenger:
Because of her pending divorce from husband Sam Parker, a LaFayette police sergeant, Theresa was preparing to move out of the couple’s home in LaFayette, and 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.

In addition to this, there were reports that the last time Theresa was heard from was by her sister at 10 pm, also in one report 10:30 pm is the time given of the last call to her sister.

That the sister refers to a neighbor seeing Theresa on her cell phone at 10:15 pm outside the apartment indicates it was not the call to herself, and implies it was after the last call to her, which it would be if that last call were at 10 pm.

This information raises several questions.

Theresa had just left her other sister's house at 9:30 pm and indicated she would be working on her apartment until after midnight. It looks like she called her sister shortly after getting to her apartment.

Yet within 15 minutes or so, she is seen outside her apartment talking on her cell phone, the actual last call of the night. What brought her out of the apartment? Was she on her way home? And why after getting that call, when she was going to be at her apartment working for a couple of hours? She had only gotten there as it is.

It sounds like she was lured somewhere, but if an emergency, why wouldn't she have called one of her sisters about something that urgent?

The police of course know the number of who she was talking to, but haven't released that information.

But also puzzling is why the sister didn't call either the house or Theresa's cell phone when she got a call at 10:44 pm with the caller id of Theresa's house.

She did call the sheriff very early the next morning to do a courtesy check on Theresa's house, and it was posted that a deputy did a drive by a couple of times early the next morning, one with her car not there, later with it there.

Perhaps her sister was asleep and only saw the call and time when she woke up, called with no answer, and called the sheriff's office to ask for a courtesy check?

The lack of calls from Theresa to anyone if she was indeed leaving immediately at 10:15 pm when she got that call, and from her sister when a caller id showed up at 10:44 pm, are anomolies to me.

The sister can explain what she did, but Theresa has been silenced about what she did when she got a call at 10:15 pm.

Wow rd, what an excellent post! Those phone calls have been driving me crazy since the beginning. My head hurt trying to figure it all out along with the implications. You laid it out very clearly.

I too wondered why she was outside her new apartment building on the phone only 1/2 hour or so after she would have arrived when she intended to stay until midnight. It doesn't make sense. Do we know for sure whether it was an incoming or outgoing call? It sounds like you think it was an incoming call - the one luring her away. What if it was an outgoing call? Is it possible she couldn't get good reception inside the building and went outside to make a call? (of course this could also be true of an incoming call). As you say, the police will have this information and more. If the neighbour observed her on the phone, you would think they would also have noticed her leaving shortly afterward - if that was the reason for her being outside.

Regarding the mysterious phone call to Christine from the Parker house, I thought I recalled Christine saying she didn't answer it as she assumed it was Sam because Theresa was at the apartment. (Perhaps I just assumed this). I always figured that call was Sam calling to find out if Theresa was there.

Hmmm, lots of food for thought:waitasec:

Thanks rd.

I think TP was on the phone, outside of the new apartment with Shane Green. I think she did not want Christina to know about the affair and had planned a little get together for the evening. For those who don’t know, Shane Green is a cop in Rossville, Ga. Walker Co. He is a great guy and I have known him for many years. I have reason to believe he was sort of coaching TP through the escape from SP. As nature has it, I think TP had a twinkle in her eye for SGreen. SGreen is a confident, good-looking stud.

What bothers me is how the Sheriff seemed to skirt around the phone call from the residence when Nancy Grace was grilling him…

The following story was already on the stands the same day Nancy did the interview.

Note in the above news story Christina specifically says: 10:44 p.m. Not, around 9:30 or 10:00. She is very specific about the time. OK. The 10:44 time was also qualified with the rational explanation using travel times etc. On to NGrace…

It`s also my understanding that a neighbor at the apartment area saw her around 10:15. But the phone call you`re referring to, didn`t that come from the home she once shared with her estranged husband?

WILSON: No. I think you`re mistaken on that. There may have been a phone call from the home, and we`re looking into that also, but I -- but we`re sure that there was also the phone call from Theresa`s cell phone to her sister`s home somewhere around that Same time.


Here the Sheriff puts NG on the seat by telling her she may be mistaken. He blows off the reference to her question saying “there may have been a phone call from the home”, throws in the “BUT” to shift the focus back to where he was headed, leaving the residence call as something he is “looking into”. Like, just drop it.

GRACE: Did she actually speak to her sister?

WILSON: Yes. Her sister I believe had just fell asleep and spoke to her briefly.

GRACE: And was she still at her apartment, cleaning it up and working on it?

WILSON: That is what we believe from the interviews. That`s right.

GRACE: OK. Now, so what I asked you to start with, that other phone call I`m talking about, according to the sister, it came up on caller ID from the home -- not the apartment, the home.

WILSON: That`s correct.

NG does not give up. She pins the Sheriff down to a yes or no response which he gives her. “That’s Correct.”

GRACE: Who else could get into that home? It wasn`t the sister.

WILSON: Well, we know that Sam Parker was living there, also. He was there during this period of time that we`re -- that you`re questioning about.

Is this a slip up? Does the Sheriff almost tell us something here? The period of time that “we’re – that you’re questioning about” is from around 9:00pm until 10:44 pm. So, was he there? Is NG too much for a tired, worn-out Sheriff?

If we are not talking minutes, but days, Christina would beg to differ…
According to Christina, Theresa and Sam agreed that Sam would stay at his father’s house in Summerville (his father died very recently).


GRACE: Oh, I thought he had moved into his father`s home.

WILSON: Well, he was -- he had. It`s quite confusing for someone that hasn`t been tracking it each day. He had actually moved out into his father`s home, his mother and father`s home in the town south of us here. But he was coming and going, the term we would use here, I guess, in the marital home. So he had access still to the marital home.

Again the Sheriff slips in a move to subtly discredit Nancy. “Its quite confusing for someone that hasn’t been tracking it each day”. Nancy confused? I don’t think so. The only thing confusing here is the Sheriff and he had been tracking it each day... Coming and going?


GRACE: I wonder why he would have been calling the sister

So, have we then agreed that SP was there at the time of the call?
Continuing..
To you, Sheriff Steve Wilson, you know, I was asking that earlier. He was off on Wednesday, correct?

WILSON: That is correct.

GRACE: The same night that call came from the home they shared, right?

WILSON: That is correct.

GRACE: What`s his alibi for that night?

WILSON: He was at home off and on that night working in the yard. He was burning some leaves. As you know, springtime is coming in this area, and he was kind of clearing some winter rubbish. And we have confirmed that with a young man that he had hired to work in the yard that night.

Why the lengthy explanation about the burning? Why not just say he was at home doing yard work?

GRACE: And how long did he work in the yard?

WILSON: Up until about dark, which here is around 8:00, 8:15.

GRACE: And that mysterious phone call that came from the home to the sister was around, what, 9:30, 10:00?

WILSON: I believe you`re correct, yes.

NG goes right back to the “mysterious phone call”. This time she even gets the Sheriff to bite on a vague time period of “what, 9:30, 10:00”

Sheriff responds this time, “I believe you’re correct, yes.” The phrase, “I think so, or I believe so”, is understood around here as, “Im pretty sure” . In otherwords, it leaves the door open to change your mind later.

Thank you Christina! You go girl.

Oh OTOH now you're making my head hurt again. :waitasec: I see what you mean though. If that story was already out prior to NG's interview with the Sheriff, why did she say "9:30-10:00" when she had to have known the 10:44 time - that's a big difference. And why did he agree and not correct her?

By the way...

SGreen is a confident, good-looking stud.

That does make sense that it is with someone not related, otoh, otherwise would not be that big a deal to say she last talked with SP at 10:15 pm, etc.

That would also explain not calling her sister about something urgent for her to leave.

The call would have to be from her ex luring her back home to an "intruder" for my conjecture to make sense. And if Christine didn't answer the phone because she knew it was SP then he was probably just trying to see if Theresa was at her sister's.

Well, food for thought, Utopia, but not as I thought if the call wasn't from him.

You could still be right rd - it's all supposition at this point.

 

[gagal]

I'm sure the police know who she talked to when she was outside the apartment, but it seems to me if she planned to meet anybody else that night such as Shane Green and didn't show up they would have went by looking for her or called the police...??? Also, I think the fact that she left early even though she said she was going to work in the apartment until midnight isn't that big of a deal....she could have easily decided after she got there that she was just too tired and would go get some rest and start back on the apartment fresh the next morning. She had worked the night before and it was very late so I'm thinking maybe she just changed her mind about working late.

I feel like it is possible that it was Sam that called her to get her back to the house - then of course though he risked the chance of her telling somebody like her sister on the way home that she was going to talk to him or that he had called.

I really think it more likely that the call made outside the apartment was not connected. I remember reading somewhere that the sister said she talked to her about the time that call was made outside but that she was asleep so just spoke to her briefly - I will try to find that article to make sure I'm not wrong but if that's the case it could be her sister that she called outside the apartment, maybe to tell her she had changed her mind and was going home or maybe just to talk.

Then, next comes the 3rd phone call from the martial house to her sister. To me, there are 3 possibilities to this one - either 1) she called her sister as soon as she walked through the door for some reason, maybe even to tell her Sam was there, they were arguing, or something like that OR 2) It was Sam Parker who called. Maybe Theresa wouldn't answer her cell phone for him, and he could have been there waiting on her, wondering where she was and getting more and more jealous the later it got and he saw that Theresa was still out and called the sister to see if she was there or if she knew where she was. Either he wasn't PLANNING on murdering Theresa and so he didn't care if the sister knew he was in the house OR like OTOH said he just had a lapse in judgement, called the sister's house to see if she was there because he was anxious/jealous, and then hung up when he realized that wasn't a good idea because that would place him in the house OR 3) He was waiting on her, still getting madder and more anxious for her to come back and hit the redial button to see who the last person she called was and hung up once he heard the sister's voice or answering machine and found out who she had been talking to.

Of course this is all speculation. We could figure out more if we knew from the police for a fact who the calls were to at each time. It's all a puzzle and I keep running it over and over in my head trying to figure out what happened.

One thing I've been thinking about though is if Sam was already there when Theresa got home, it seems like she would have saw his vehicle parked there. That's why I'm wondering if maybe she knew he was going to be there and went in anyway, like if he told her he needed to talk to her or something. The other possibility is she saw him there, thought he was just bringing her the boxes like he said he would or picking something up and so maybe she didn't think anything about it and then they got into a big argument once she got into the house. I can see him questioning her, demanding to know where she had been that late, etc., because that seems to be the type of controlling person he was. IF it wasn't premeditated, that could have started the whole fight that night. To be honest though, I really think that it was premeditated, especially with him hiding her body so efficiently. That just makes me wonder if she saw his car parked there why she went on in the house. I wonder if she went in, asked him to leave, and when he didn't she picked up the phone and dialed her sister and her husband instead of dragging the police into it thinking maybe he would leave then but that he maybe took the phone from her before she could talk to them. I'm just rambling but there are just so many ways it could have happened.......

Ok - here is the link to the entire interview about phone calls

It sounds to me like they know Theresa called her sister around the time she was seen outside the apartment on the phone so I think maybe that phone call was totally unconnected - might have just called her to say she was tired and going on home or she could have even been calling to tell her something about Sam or another phone call she had received, etc, but since the sister was asleep maybe she didn't tell her what she had really called to say....I'm sure the police know if Sam or anybody else called her phone before she called the sister or right afterwards but below is the most important part of the interview to me that deals with the phone calls:

GRACE: Sheriff, can I ask you a few quick questions? What time was she last seen by her sister?

WILSON: She was last seen on March the 21st, the evening of March the 21st around 9:00 PM. And then later that night, we know that there was a phone call made to the sister shortly after 10:00 PM.

GRACE: Now, see, that`s what I find very, very interesting, Sheriff, because it`s my understanding that Theresa Parker left her sister`s to go to Theresa`s new apartment. It wasn`t ready for her to move into. She was going over there to do some cleaning and arranging, and said she`d go home around 12:00 o`clock. It`s also my understanding that a neighbor at the apartment area saw her around 10:15. But the phone call you`re referring to, didnt that come from the home she once shared with her estranged husband?

WILSON: No. I think you`re mistaken on that. There may have been a phone call from the home, and we`re looking into that also, but I -- but we`re sure that there was also the phone call from Theresa`s cell phone to her sister`s home somewhere around that Same time.

GRACE: Did she actually speak to her sister?

WILSON: Yes. Her sister I believe had just fell asleep and spoke to her briefly.

GRACE: And was she still at her apartment, cleaning it up and working on it?

WILSON: That is what we believe from the interviews. That`s right.

GRACE: OK. Now, so what I asked you to start with, that other phone call I`m talking about, according to the sister, it came up on caller ID from the home -- not the apartment, the home.

WILSON: That`s correct.

GRACE: Who else could get into that home? It wasn`t the sister.

WILSON: Well, we know that Sam Parker was living there, also. He was there during this period of time that we`re -- that you`re questioning about.

GRACE: Oh, I thought he had moved into his father`s home.

WILSON: Well, he was -- he had. It`s quite confusing for someone that hasn`t been tracking it each day. He had actually moved out into his father`s home, his mother and father`s home in the town south of us here. But he was coming and going, the term we would use here, I guess, in the marital home. So he had access still to the marital home.

GRACE: I wonder why he would have been calling the sister after 10:00 o`clock at night.

WILSON: Well, that`s a good question. And you know, that`s some of the things that the investigators have talked with him about. He has been cooperative up to this point, I believe a total of about three different sit-down interviews with him, and he has so far cooperated with...

Sheds a whole new light but that tells us the call she made outside the apartment was to the sister......what she was calling about is a whole different story since she either didn't tell the sister much because she was asleep or the sister forgot what she said because she was asleep (I've had entire conversations with people when I was asleep and forgot by the next morning). Anyway, after that I don't know what happened but I think probably more than likely the call from the house was from Sam, either looking for Theresa or wondering who the last person she talked to was OR it was from Theresa as soon as she walked through the door because of something that was going on???.

The rest of your post I agree with, gagal, but there clearly was a phone call to her sister at 10:00 pm (after leaving her other sister's house nearby at 9:30 pm and perhaps picking up cleaning supplies on the way), and a phonce call at 10:15 pm that Christine only knows about because a neighbor of Theresa's apartment says he saw Theresa outside her apartment talking on her cell phone.

That would also be the last call the police say they know about but are not disclosing.

It is not just one call to her sister.

In the interview on Nancy Grace, the sheriff only told about 2 calls they know of...the one from Theresa to her sister and the one from the marital house to the sister. I don't see why he would have told about 1 call to the sister but not the other. He said she called her sister shortly after 10. They then establish that a neighbor says he saw her around 10:15 on the phone....I think it more likely that the phone call to the sister shortly after 10 and the call the neighbor saw her on the phone is one in the same. The conversation made it sound like the sheriff thought she was talking on the phone to her sister when the neighbor saw her (10:15 is shortly after 10 and that's when the sheriff said Theresa called her sister or also the neighbor could be off on his time by a little bit as the sheriff clearly says the neighbor saw her on the phone around 10:15). Now, it is still a mystery to us if they know of any other ingoing or outgoing phone calls on her cell phone but I'm sure that LE knows the answer to this. I could be reading it wrong but that's the way I'm understanding the interview......2 calls that they know of??

The conversation in that one transcript is disjointed, as otoh points out. I posted the details from a news article a few posts back.

There is no way one could make any sense from Nancy's pointed questions and the somewhat evasive answers given. What's more inportant, Christine herself is the one who said that a neighbor saw Theresa talking on cell phone to someone at 10:15 pm. It was not Christine, she is the one pointing it out.

However, it was reported in every article since early on that she did talk to Theresa about 10 pm. She doesn't refer to it again when talking about the neighbor, but the 10:15 pm call was definitely not to her.

I see what you're saying and no way to know for sure who is right, but my opinion on why they only told about the 2 phone calls was that they had checked the record and they know the phone call the neighbor told about and the call the sister remembers were one in the same. If the sister said she talked to her shortly after 10 and the neighbor said he saw her on the phone around 10:15 and the sheriff only tells of 2 phone calls, to me that just sounds like the call the sister told about and the call the neighbor said he saw her on were one in the same instead of 2 separate phone calls.....is what I'm saying making sense or am I just rambling? Basically, I don't think the sister or the neighbor were wrong - I think the neighbor just saw her on the phone when she made the phone call to her sister. That's definitely how the sheriff made it sound to me. It sure would be interesting to be able to see her cell phone log that they have....would probably answer a lot of questions.

One more thing to think about - Sam was a police officer so he knew that they could get phone records from her cell - I feel like if he planned to lure her home to kill her he wouldn't have wanted a record of him calling Theresa on the night she disappeared unless 1) he was going to admit to police that he called her and just make up a different reason why and so far we haven't heard of any such confession or phone call from Sam that they know about OR 2) he wasn't planning on killing her and just called to see where she was because he was at the house and saw she wasn't there.

I just really feel though that he planned this so that makes me think that he wouldn't be dumb enough to call her and leave a trace of him talking to her; plus if he called from his cell phone then they would also be able to tell what tower his phone hit off of when he called her and be able to put him in the location of the marital home. Then again, he could have been that stupid or not planned the whole thing and it have been a crime of passion while they were fighting, and if that's the case the police have those records and know who called her and who all she called. Without the actual reports, I'm just going by what the sheriff said in that report and he only told us about 2 calls. I also think that Nancy Grace was just wrong about the time when she said "around 9:30 or 10:00" and I have no idea why the sheriff didn't correct her. I watch Nancy Grace but not a big fan of hers, and I've always felt like instead of really researching the case and being familiar with the facts, she just picks a side from the beginning without much knowledge and rambles on whether she has evidence to support her thinking or not.

"Lamar Weaver has seen a lot in his work as a private investigator, enough that he feels law enforcement authorities should charge ex-LaFayette police sergeant Sam Parker with murder in the case of his missing wife Theresa.

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