Sherry Parker Murder: Investigators Taking New Look At 1996 Cold Case
''Sherry’s husband, Glenn Edward “Ed” Parker was the main suspect in the investigation. The sheriff’s office says he hired an attorney immediately after his wife’s body was found and has refused to be interviewed by law enforcement about her death.''

''Investigators say Ed lives in unincorporated Weld County and is now married to one of Sherry’s close friends.''

“Due to a lack of cooperation by Ed, investigators are hopeful someone who knew the couple 24 years ago might know or remember something and come forward with new information,” the sheriff’s office stated.

Anyone with information regarding this or any other crime is asked to call the Weld County Sheriff’s Office at (970) 356-4015 or Northern Colorado Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). ''

''Now, a new and experienced detective is reviewing the cold case hoping to bring the family closure.''

''Michelle Diller was 15 years old when her mother was murdered. She says the family she had quickly fell apart. Through tears, she told Denver7 her mom lived for her and her older sister.
"She would have been a good grandma, but she never gets that chance now," Diller said.''
''Diller claims her father was in a relationship with her mother's best friend while married to her mother and began to openly date her just months after her mom was murdered. The couple married about year later.
Glenn moved in with his new wife and Diller says she moved in with her older sister.''
