Tip Line Created In Missing Walker County Woman Case

Monday, April 30, 2007

Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson announced Monday that he has implemented a telephone tip line in the Theresa Parker missing person investigation.

Sheriff Wilson encourages anyone who may have information about the missing 911 operator to call the tip line at 706-639-CALL (2255).

Ms. Parker, a 911 operator, has been missing since March 21.

Floyd County District Attorney Leigh Patterson is now handling the case after Buzz Franklin of the Lookout Mountain Judicial Circuit recused himself.

Mr. Franklin said he has long been acquainted with former LaFayette Police Department Sgt. Sam Parker, who has been listed as a "person of interest" in the case.

Sam Parker has not made a statement, but his sister said he denies any involvement in the disappearance.

The couple was in the process of a divorce. Ms. Parker's vehicle was found at the Parker residence on Cordell Road in LaFayette.

Her cell phone and purse are missing.
