Sam Parker

Was she super skinny?

For around here, yeah.

Her nickname was Mother Teresa, and according to younger sister Christina, she was the glue that held their family together.

You know, she was the type of person, if you needed her, you called her, she was there.

Teresa's first marriage had ended in divorce, and Sam Parker already had two ex-wives.

Despite their past failed relationships, Sam and Teresa seemed like a good match.

When I first met him, I liked him.

He had a good, funny sense of humor and seemed to be a gentleman to her.

Did you think, oh, maybe this is the one for her?

I thought, he probably is.

You know, he's going to be the one because she was just crazy about him.

Teresa and Sam Parker married on September 11, 1993.

They seemed happy at first, but then, after a few years, their relationship turned rocky.

But it seems Teresa finally had enough and decided to pull the plug after 13 years of marriage.

Part of the problem investigators have in searching for Teresa Parker is the terrain.

Just look at this.

This is the woods right across from the Parker home.

And this goes on for miles and miles in every direction.

This is mountain country.

It's thick with trees.
