Sam Parker

And then I started calling the house.

I started getting worried.

To ease her mind, she called police officer and friend Shane Green and asked him as a favor to check out the home Teresa still shared with her soon-to-be ex, police officer Sam Parker.

So when Shane went to the house, did he call you?

What did he say?

And he shined in there and he told me, he said, her car's not here.

It's around 6.30 a.m.

Teresa's Toyota 4Runner was nowhere to be found, but her husband Sam Parker's patrol car was in the garage, and his pickup truck was parked outside the house in plain sight.

Strangely, Thursday afternoon, Teresa's SUV was back at the house, but still no one had seen her, and she wasn't answering her cell phone.

More than 24 hours had come and gone with no word from Teresa.

Her sister, Christina, was frantic.

There were just no ifs, ands, or buts about it.

I knew something so horrible.

And I was just, I was scared to death.

Then on that Friday evening, March 23rd, Christina got a call from her brother-in-law, Sam Parker.

He was on patrol working the night shift.

I could immediately tell with him something wasn't right because he was talking really fast and he kept clearing his throat.

And that was just out of character.

And I was like, well, we need to do something.

We need to file a missing persons report.
