Missing Woman's Estranged Husband Threatens Harm

The "person of interest" in the case of the missing Walker County 911 dispatcher is okay after he threatened to hurt himself Friday night. Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson says he was with Theresa Parker's estranged husband Sam Parker Friday night in his home, along with Sam's doctor and sister. Sheriff Wilson says they call the call around 8:30pm and stayed with Parker until 11:30pm. He says Parker was upset with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, and the media. And that he couldn't take the pressure any longer. On the 24th day of Theresa Parker's disappearance, her cousin Carl Cordell is still out early on his horse, looking for her. "I went on the mountains, back around the hills, went everywhere and I just don't know where she's at," he said.

Even though he was up until two a.m. Friday night as law enforcement blocked his street, the same street Theresa Parker and her estranged husband Sam lived on. He said, "Road block down here and road block down here and they said they was going to commit suicide or something."

Police say that Friday night they heard that Sam Parker was threatening to hurt himself. Neighbors say he was standing just behind me on his front porch with a gun. Sheriff Steve Wilson says Parker was actually holding two guns, a rifle and a pistol.

Wilson went on to say that Parker never threatened anyone except himself, saying he was "very dispondent".

Parker is still the only person of interest in the case of the missing 911 dispatcher. This document shows that Sam Parker was terminated from his position as a sergeant of the Lafayette Police Department on April fifth. Chief Tommy Freeman tells Newschannel 9 that a document was given to Parker on that day, but Parker had until Thursday, April 12 at 5 p.m. to appeal the recommendation. Parker did not, and Freeman announced that Parker was fired Friday.

So as the investigation into Theresa's disappearance continues so do her relatives' concern over Theresa's whereabouts. He said, "He's told a lot of people that he could kill someone and they wouldn't know where to find them. I don't know what to do, I don't know where to look."

But Cordell says he'll look in every crack, every well, and every piece of land until he finds Theresa Parker.

Sheriff Wilson did say that the situation last night was NOT a hostage stand off, and that Sam Parker is okay today. Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue announced that he is offering a one thousand dollar reward to anyone that has any information on Theresa Parker's disappearance.
