Sam Parker

The 911 dispatcher and her police officer husband, Sam Parker, after 13 years of marriage, were divorcing.

Teresa was getting ready to move into her own apartment near her sister and nephews.

She was just so excited to be closer and be able to help us out with them and spend more time with them.

But when the sisters said their goodbyes that Wednesday night, Christina says something was different.

When I hugged her that night, I just got this, the emptiest feeling, and it was really strange.

The sisters didn't talk at all the next day, Thursday, and Christina figured Teresa was just busy cleaning her new place.

But by Friday morning, March 23rd, that empty feeling in her gut was back.

I just woke up and felt like I had this black cloud over me, and I'm not usually like that.

And I thought, I'm gonna talk to Teresa.

She always made me feel better.

Teresa didn't answer her phone.

Christina went to work, still hoping she'd hear from her sister at any moment.

But every time the phone would ring, I'd check the ID to see if it was her.

Could it be Teresa?

Yeah, I thought, well, she'll be calling any time since I'd left her a message, because it was odd that she didn't call me right back.

Meanwhile, Teresa's friend and co-worker Rhonda Knox was also getting worried after a strange early morning call on Thursday, March 22nd.

Rhonda knew it was odd for Teresa to call and hang up.

I thought, this isn't Teresa, you know.

So I called it back.

It rang, and then went to voicemail.
