What is a Green Alert?​

Under Kentucky law, a Green Alert is issued when a veteran at risk goes missing. It’s designed to help first responders and the public locate missing veterans who may be in danger by quickly notifying emergency management agencies, search and rescue teams, and local media outlets.

Good find - I checked the KY district court records, but they didn't show anything that far back and no current charges. The murder charge date was 1995, so he would have been in his early 20's at the time. I found the legal records for the appeal for case though. https://law.justia.com/cases/kentucky/court-of-appeals/2013/2011-ca-002066-mr.html

"At the trial, the jury found Parker guilty but mentally ill and sentenced himto life imprisonment. This conviction was reversed on appeal due to the trial court’s failure to instruct the jury on a wanton or reckless belief in the need forself-protection. On retrial, Parker was defended by new counsel. The jury was instructed in accordance with the Kentucky Supreme Court decision and foundParker guilty of intentional murder and sentenced him to sixty-five years." This was affirmed at appeal in 1999

The (lengthy) court document states "Dr. Candace Walker, a psychiatrist at the Kentucky CorrectionalPsychiatric Center (KCPC) evaluated Parker and testified for the defense at both trials. Parker was at KCPC from September 28, 1994, through November 7, 1994.Parker first began having emotional problems after his Desert Storm militaryservice in 1992. Parker was first hospitalized and treated at Camp Lejeune; he was also treated at the Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center in Louisville, Kentucky. While at Camp Lejeune, Parker was diagnosed with a personality disorder. The diagnosis from the VA was schizophreniform disorder. Parker additionally had a lot of classic symptoms of PTSD, although it was not listed as a diagnosis. Parker also experienced nightmares, hypervigilance, flashbacks, and startled response. Parker was placed on the waiting list for the VA PTSD program. Parker had been taking Haldol when he came to KCPC. He said it helped and therefore Dr. Walker continued him on the medication. Dr. Walker explained that this was a long-acting medication and even though Parker missed adose on the day of the shooting, such would not have resulted in a psychotic episode. While Parker was at KCPC he exhibited no observable symptoms of PTSD. There was no indication that PTSD had caused Parker to shoot Campbell. Dr. Walker did testify that Haldol would suppress PTSD symptoms as well asthose of schizophrenia. Dr. Walker’s opinion was that Parker was not acting out of psychosis, but that he was probably more paranoid than the average person."

He's classified as a low risk parolee, but I'm wondering if something could have been a trigger for any further mental health issues, hense his going missing.
