Jog my memory please, did the son have an alibi for where he was at the time that they believe his father was murdered?
I don't recall if they mentioned the son having an alibi at all; i did come across an article:
"Josh wants to have a memorial service for his father, but says he is broke. He told the Associated Press that his father's truck was released to him
, but his father's laptop and grandfather's wedding ring are missing. The police confirmed that the laptop had not been found in the truck. Josh also said that the truck was "ransacked," which was evidence to him that his father was murdered. Josh has expressed
frustration that the investigators had not ruled out suicide or an accident."

The only things i come across with his son, Josh, is about Josh pushing that it is a homicide. I may have missed it somewhere though..
Then we have this article that mentions that when his body was found, his laptop was seen inside his truck..
"A festive family get together was soon stopped cold, as the group happened upon the body of Bill Sparkman hanged from a tree with a noose, gagged, with his hands and feet bound with duct tape. And in an eerie twist, duct tape covered Sparkmans eyes, and was coiled around his neck, securing some sort of identification tag.
Sparkmans truck was spotted nearby with his computer still inside.
His tailgate was down. I thought he could have been killed somewhere else and brought there and hanged up for display, or they actually could have killed him right there. It was a bad, bad scene, Wilson told the Associated Press."

There are two different articles with conflicting information. I don't know if it's bad reporting on part of the interview with the son, who claims the laptop is still missing or what..
It had been 2 weeks until Sparkman's body was discovered. Did any of his family question where he was for those 2 weeks or make any attempts to reach him? Do we have any reports of his son reporting him missing during that time, or would it have been common for him to go 2 weeks without talking to his father?
Here's another article with a picture of his son, Josh, who is 20 years old now. It's a 5 page article, however worth the read! The whole article brings up a lot of good points, and local opinions as well!

This is not a normal thing to happen in Clay County, said James Garrison, Clay County's Judge-Executive from 1994 to 2006. You have to offend our people pretty bad for someone to want to kill you.
And if a drug trafficker
was involved, they would most likely dispose of the body where it couldn't be found, said House."

"And Kentucky State Police Capt. Lisa Rudzinski, commander of the London post,
told The Sentinel Echo of London a report that his computer, which contained his census information, was found in his truck was wrong, too. We found his truck, but there was no computer in it, she told the newspaper last week."

Also, information that Sparkman was married in the past:
"Sparkman said his father adopted him as a single parent when he was about 2, preferring to not begin a new relationship after his divorce but still wanting to raise a child. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for him, Josh Sparkman said."
(page 5 of 5)
"The resulting media frenzy, with national news outlets arriving from across the country, would have greatly disturbed his father, Josh Sparkman said.
He was a very private person, he said, adding that he has been approached by numerous media organizations, including the Washington Post and Good Morning America, which offered to fly him to New York. My dad would absolutely hate it if I did that.

I'm not sure what to make of this whole case...
