Found Deceased NJ - Gary Parker, 67 & Lorraine, 60, riding ATV in Pine Barrens, Warren Grove, Stafford, 22 Nov 2021

[WickedGardenPodcast]

Drivers license. Imo.

They are most definitely DL pics from Nj driver’s licenses.

There was a meth bust very close to their home the other day. Authorities are saying it's unrelated but in this article it says there was meth found on the Parker property. Confusing and strange.

Stafford NJ couple found dead in 'thickest part of the Pine Barrens'

"Online, amateur sleuths played professional detectives. On Sunday night, a law enforcement raid on a suspected meth lab two miles away from the Parker home fueled conspiracy theories, especially after a small amount of methamphetamine had been found on the Parker property the week before."

absolutely ridiculous article written by a reporter who has exclusive information about the case. No one else reported the meth found on the property. When a reporter has info nobody else does it’s obvious they’re working with LE

Lorraine used a cane: Bodies of missing Stafford couple found near their home: authorities

 

[JerseyGirl]

Autopsies for the couple are pending, and reports could take at least six weeks to come in, police say.

A cane belonging to Lorraine, who had mobility issues, was found at their home.

I'm sure the autopsies have been completed by now. I guess the family would rather keep it private. That's understandable. I just find it odd that the cane Lorraine used was found inside the home, and they were found close to their ATV. If they were riding their ATV then why not take the cell phones. Neither of them had their cell phones that's also peculiar. Why were they found in a position as if they had laid down. They knew the area. They could most probably identify where they were because they would have been on their ATV's in the past riding them there. IMO its not just a couple getting lost here. How could two people not be aware of the possibility of an accident or injury and leave their cell phones at home? I feel for their family. Sad. I have questions that this was something natural. Its under odd circumstances.

Each obituary states each was predeceased by the other. Obviously an obituary isn’t an autopsy or a definitive answer on time/cause/manner of death, but I read it as either planned double suicide or murder-suicide - particularly given the silence once the bodies were found.

I believe you are likely correct. The daughter has been very protective of COD and says no one needs to know.

That's one of the thoughts I had also so obviously making it unnatural IMO. So then did the other cooperate? The shotgun was right there so, it is possible. It is sad though. They were just out of middle age so they still lots of life to live. If they had anything in their system then I would question if it was them and not someone else. So did Lorraine ride on the ATV with her husband to get to that location? Could she have walked without her cane that distance? Yes, and the cell phones, not having them with them in their travel to that location. So, I can sadly see why LE would come to the conclusion they did. BUT?????? Really? They had no prior (as fas we know) history of wantig to end their lives, (nor dementia as a possibility.) I myself have had paranormal experiences which can skew reality for a person. The panic and anxiety that one feels when this happens is horrible. I hope that they didn't experience this in thier final moments. That would be awful as I can imagine. Sad for their daughter that she maybe aware of what exactly happened to them and doesn't want to discuss it. So sad.

To be clear: double suicide or murder-suicide is my conclusion, not LE’s conclusion. To my knowledge, LE hasn’t publicized a MOD/COD for either decedent.

<rsbm>

ITA, and in the very last paragraph of the article, LE addressed the online speculation:

"This investigation was not related to the missing person’s investigation involving Gary and Lorraine Parker of Warren Grove,” Stafford police were compelled to write in a news release about the drug enforcement action on Grays Road in the Warren Grove section."

Obviously the family requires their privacy, but what happened to the Parkers does happen time to time. I just wish the families would let the public know that the death was health related such as heart failure or such becuse then others would be cautious and perhaps take a different approach than their loved ones had, sadly. Knowledge is always important. Another thing that baffles me about this case is that the couple was found away from their ATV and had injuries from the vegetation as it stated in the articles. So were they found in brumble as if hiding from something or were there injuries from the long grass, but IMO the long grass wouldn't cause any significant injuries, so I am assuming that it was something rough that they went into. Other than brumble I can't think of anything else. Other than hiding from something that perhaps their gun wouldn't work on they decided to hide in the thicket, until it went away?
