Christina Parcell's Sister

I got specifically a three bedroom apartment so she and my niece could stay with me and we could spend time together, go to the pool, go to the playground.

But then, in October 2020, the custody fight takes another explosive, and for Christina, terrifying turn.

It was time for her visit weekend, and John said, we won't be back in time. I'll call you when I know more.

His message reads, we are out of the country, phone not working. Be advised, we won't be able to fly back for Friday exchange.

My sister reached out to the elementary school and found out John had withdrawn her from Greenville County School System. She messages Mello, please tell me anything you can about where our daughter is. I'm scared.

For Tina Parcell and John Mello, there's not much room for agreement except on one thing, the strangeness of those red roses found at the crime scene.

I had the funeral home hold every flower delivery so I could inspect them to make sure no red roses were sent because I fully expected some to be sent. Why? because that would be a mean and cruel thing to do. And let's just be honest, mean and cruel kind of fits the whole bill for the situation.

For her, the roses add to her suspicion of John Mello. She tells investigators what happened a year earlier. In 2020, the custody battle between Christina Parcell and John Mello had become an outright war after he took off with their eight-year-old daughter. Christina has no idea where she is and frantically searches social media for clues.

She just pored over the internet, looking for everything, doing all kinds of searches. And then Mello emails Christina. Please do not bother people about us saying their daughter is doing great. She is happy and healthy. It's just a new setup. That's all new rules.
