Theresa Parker's sister last saw her five months ago today. No one has seen Parker since. This case involves Walker County, Georgia dispatcher Theresa Parker, two former LaFayette police officers and has gained national attention. Through it all, both of Parker's sisters have remained vigilant. But last month, when Magistrate Judge Jerry Day granted bond for Ben Chaffin, a key person in this case, the sisters were infuriated. Hilda Wilson said, "I hope none of them ever ever have to experience wondering where a loved one is for four months and knowing that somebody knows something about it and they just run the law enforcement authorities around."

Theresa Parker's younger sister, Christina Hall, was equally livid. "And what about my sister, who is probably in a grave or in the bottom of a pond somewhere," Hall exclaimed.
They were outraged Chaffin got a bond. Chaffin used to work with Parker's husband Sam Parker on the Lafayette police department. Parker's sisters believe he knows where Theresa is, dead or alive. The week before his bond in mid July, we were the only station to follow Chaffin's arrest and hearing in Mobile, Alabama. He had been living with his mother.
The GBI placed three new charges on him and called him a fugitive. They wanted to put pressure on him. Agents felt certain he knew something Sam Parker, called a quote person of interest, was not telling them. And at the beginning of July, our investigative team found a gap in Sam Parker's alibi. He told investigators he went fishing Thursday March 21st from roughly eight a-m until 2:30 that afternoon.
But Theresa Parker's divorce attorney Mary Jane Melton confirms that she and two of her employees saw Sam Parker in her office that day. Melton says he came in around 11:30 to pick up copies of divorce papers and left around noon.
And our earliest research uncovered Theresa Parker called 911 for help two times from her marital home. We also learned that Sam Parker blew up when the couple was in Florida in 2003. He went to a psychiatric hospital after saying he would blow his brains out with Theresa handcuffed to him.
Meanwhile, his house has been searched multiple times, but he has never been arrested or charged.
And months later, Theresa Parker's sisters feel the same way they did when she first went missing.
In late March, Hall said, "We feel like something really bad has happened, we know it has."
Both sisters have made concerted efforts to keep this case in the public's conscience. Next month, they hope to release balloons on Theresa Parker's birthday.
