FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, BEN HAS COME THROUGH WITH THE TOTAL TRUTH AT THIS POINT, HE REALIZES THAT IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO MAYBE SOMEWAY, SOMEDAY BE ABLE TO REGAIN SOME OF HIS DIGNITY.
ABOUT SAM'S BRAGGING, I KNOW HIS SECOND WIFE, SHE IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT SAM SAID THIS TOO. SHE HAS BEEN INTERVIEWED BY THE GBI AND NOW HAS A PERMIT TO CARRY A GUN. ALSO, SHE IS STAYING WITH VARIOUS FRIENDS AND NOT AT HOME. HER HUSBAND DRIVES A TRUCK AND IS ON THE ROAD A LOT AND SHE IS SCARED. SHE BROKE DOWN TO OUR PASTOR, THEN SHE DECIDED TO STAY WITH FRIENDS.
THIS WHOLE THING IS SO SAD. CAN THEY PROSECUTE WITHOUT A BODY?

There are some cases cited, but in reality I think in almost all those case there was trace forensic evidence found, such as blood or bone fragments, so there really was an indication of a body.

To be indicted and tried without any trace of the body, or anyone turning state's evidence with eyewitness testimony, would be extremely difficult, which is why these guys make such an effort to make an inconvenient woman disappear.

In Hans Reiser's ongoing case, there is a literal trail of blood from his house to his car with a missing front seat, and still defense lawyers are arguing there's no evidence his ex, Nina, didn't just run off.

Without the trail of blood, the Oakland investigators would be as hard pressed as Ocilla's or Lafayette's investigators as to what could be done.

So Sam Parker was bragging about making a woman disappear where she'd never be found to threaten his previous wife? Wonderful.

This is a real upstanding citizen to be patrolling the streets. Like I say, he reminds me of how the BTK Strangler acted. Same sick controlling hatred.

At least Condit just told his driver that his friends would help him make a body disappear. No one has said he threatened them with disappearance the way this guy did.

It's awful that the second wife must go into hiding during this ordeal. And who knows for how long? It can't be safe for her unless he's being watched pretty carefully. He's already shown he's unstable, and it will only get worse.

He could take a cue from his friend Ben. Just tell the truth. With a lie detector test.

If he didn't have a body hidden where no one will ever find it, he would.

DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT THERE IS ANY REMOTE POSSIBILITY THAT THERESA IS STILL ALIVE?

No. The only possibility is being imprisoned somewhere, and who would be taking care of her? That a passing stranger kidnapped her and is holding her somewhere just isn't much of a possibility.

So sad as it is, she is no longer with us.

She'll have to get a decent burial. She certainly didn't get a decent one when she disappeared.

Unfortunately, I do not believe Theresa is alive at this point. When one considers the length of time she has been missing, the circumstances surrounding her case, this is the only conclusion we can reach.

It is very sad. Also, Theresa was to be court right before she went missing.

We see this happen when most people (women) go missing. The outcome is always the same.

My prayers go out to Theresa and her family. She has been gone a month now.

A post I made in Theresa's thread on websleuths, responding to a question about what number of married women disappear, and how often are they found:

The number of women who disappear when they seem to have become inconvenient as an ex is disturbingly too frequent.

I wish we didn't have to add any more threads for these cases, but we keep having to add them.

Only one woman ran away that I know of, the Runaway Bride. And there was no known disagreement, she had an upcoming wedding, and she was only gone three or four days before seeking help.

There were thoughts she was kidnapped, but her husband to be was doing all he could to help find her, and it just was not in the mold of a disappeared ex.

The rest rarely turn up. We are lucky that Laci floated up soon after her baby for justice to be done there.

Speaking of floating up, being weighted down in a water treatment pool is such a temporary hiding of the body that it couldn't seriously be considered as a place to dispose of a body.

As far as I can tell, landfills have been where most disappeared women have been found, or they were headed there. Only one that I can remember was actually buried in the woods, that being Sue Ann Ray a ways south of Lafayette, closer to Atlanta, and that ex had help from a relative.

Many of the rest are left lying in out of the way places, shallowly concealed. One, a young woman from Columbus, Ohio, was found off a country road within a couple of weeks. Another young woman from Columbus was found only a few miles away by a river by a hunter.

She had disappeared six years earlier.

As usual, excellent post Rd. Your comments are always appreciated!

From Theresa's thread at websleuths, responding to a comment that news on Theresa is dwindling:

Because Theresa was a 911 dispatcher, and given that Tara Grinstead also was never found, both having small Ga. town cops as ex's, I am positive the GBI stepped in immediately and gave its fullest attention to finding Theresa in those critical early hours of her disappearance.

Problem is, because Theresa had taken some time off to move out of her house to an apartment in another town away from the ex, her disappearance wasn't known for sure by her family for a couple of days. Even had they known a day earlier, for example if one of them were to accompany Theresa to the bank for a meeting with the ex to transfer ownership of the house to him, and known that she didn't make the meeting, I doubt anything different could have been done.

I am also positive that no one gave any credence to the ex saying that an overnight bag is missing and that she is always going off on trips, which is why he says he didn't check on her not showing up at the bank to meet him.

No, the only thing not known is where her body is. That she also shares with Tara Grinstead. After exhaustive searches, there is little to report except noting anniversaries and searching some more, somthing the silent ex's decline to participate in, or in the rare occurrence when one did, are making a call to a secret girlfriend claiming they are in Paris.

On March 28, Walker County Messenger reported:

""The couple bought and put a double-wide trailer on about an acre given to Theresa by Caruthers, who said that with the pending divorce Theresa had agreed to sell Sam her interest in the land and the trailer home.

“They were supposed to close the deal at the bank on Friday (March 23) but of course she wasn’t around,” Caruthers said.""

and on March 30, it was reported this way:

"The couple was scheduled to meet at The Bank of LaFayette on Friday to finalize the splitting of the equity in their house for the divorce, according to Theresa’s mother Claire Caruthers."

end quote

So splitting the equity was another way of saying she was selling her interest to him.

If the ex was said to be financially ok due to his father's recent death, was Theresa to have shared in that inheritance? How financially tempting would it have been for the ex to inherit her part of their property instead, and her part of his father's inheritance, along with her life insurance?

It may not have been entirely loss of control over her that led to her demise.

from websleuths.com:


What was the work schedules of Sam and Ben? I know that Theresa was on vacation till the next Monday, and that it was stated in an article that Sam was not scheduled to work Wednesday night, and that he worked Friday night.

Was Sam scheduled Thursday night, and what was Ben's schedule Wednesday and Thursday nights?

Much appreciated if anyone knows.

[gozgals]

I'd like to know the answer to the question you pose too Rd but also this one:

[rd]

I don't know that they mean that, goz. After all, they did search his patrol car. It is puzzling why the truck is not mentioned as being searched.

Not knowing Thursday night schedule for Sam or Wednesday and Thursday schedule for Ben is odd that it is not widely known by now. Those are the critical times.

Speaking of which, being back at house by 3 pm on Thursday (as Sam told soon to be ex mother-in-law) doesn't add up. Lawyer friend said they went to a barbeque place for lunch at 2:30. Sam says he was back at house at 3 pm and Theresa was gone, car was there (thought nothing of it, right).

Unless lawyer friend was way off or was talking about leaving for home from lunch at 2:30, then Sam is pushing when he got to the house. But fishing buddy could have been off I guess, but he said went to barbeque lunch restaraunt at 2:30, I believe.

Since Sam picked him up in truck, he supposedly would have dropped him off. When did he drop lawyer friend off on way back home? 2:45?

If not, any particular reason he would want it to appear Theresa was already gone at 3?

But maybe distances aren't that far and not that big a deal on time to eat and drive home.
