Appears Sandy was recently released from Federal Prison and transferred to Alexander Correctional in Taylorsville, NC
Thanks for catching that! He was transferred on January 14, 2022. Long article, more at the link:
Sandy had previously been serving
a sentence in a New Jersey federal prison for financial crimes. He was convicted of defrauding the government by continuing to accept federal adoption assistance money long after Erica Parsons was gone from the family home.
He had to finish serving the federal sentence before being transferred to North Carolina for the murder charge.
...
On December 17, 2019, Sandy Parsons pleaded guilty in her murder case, ending eight years of speculation, denials, and determined work by investigators.
Sandy Parsons was convicted and sentenced to serve between 33 and 43.5 years in prison on the charges, which include murder, child abuse, concealment of death and obstruction of justice.
By the judge’s sentence, the earliest that Sandy Parsons would be eligible for release from prison, would be when he is approximately 82 years of age.
Sandy Parsons officially begins sentence for murder of adoptive daughter Erica Parsons in N.C. state prison
Erica’s adoptive parents, Casey and Sandy Parsons, admitted that they killed and buried her. However, the confessions didn’t happen until they were locked up for charges that they had accepted Erica’s federal benefits after she disappeared.
“It shows our plan worked wonderfully,” Rowan County Sheriff Kevin Auten said. “The federal system helped us with that leverage to make him think about the crime and fortunately, his heart got in the right place.”
...
Erica’s adoptive mother Casey Parsons is behind bars in Florida in a federal prison. She’ll be released next November to start serving time in North Carolina for the rest of her life.
Erica Parsons’ adoptive father transfers to state prison on murder charge
Despicable, lying liars. Adoptive mother Casey, after telling LE that a non existent person (Nan) had taken Erica to live with her told a reporter in an interview:
“There’s been sightings, I’ve had family members call me recently and say there was a sighting at a rest stop, we asked, why didn’t you call the cops, don't wait an call us, call the cops," Parsons said. “The only thing I want right now is Erica to call home, tell us she’s safe, and get my two babies. Nobody realizes that there’s two small kids involved in this that do want to come home.”
For those of us who followed this case is it any wonder that it may have affected how we view missing children cases? These people even went on National television (Dr. Phil) and lied through their teeth.
I savor every minute Sandy and Casey have to serve behind bars for their heinous treatment of tiny, vulnerable Erica. But nothing will ever bring her back and give her the happy life she so deserved.
