The Theresa Parker case has “begun a new phase,” said Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson on Thursday afternoon.
At a news conference, Wilson introduced Martin Grime, who will head up a new K-9 forensic unit that will begin work on the case.
Grime is a retired investigator from the United Kingdom who has logged more than 30 years in investigative work for the UK military and the South Yorkshire Police Department. Grime retired from the South Yorkshire Police Department in August and is working as an independent consultant.
“Grime is renowned for his ability in forensic investigation,” said John Parrish, the supervisory agent in charge of the FBI’s Atlanta office.
Grime’s expertise is “hoped to assist and to further develop this ongoing investigation,” continued Parrish.
Martin Grime, with his English spaniel Eddie, will head up a new K-9 forensic unit that will begin work on the Theresa Parker case. The most visible resource that Grime is bringing to this six-month-old case is his 7-year-old English spaniel Eddie, trained to detect “particles on a cellular level,” he said.
“Eddie can locate human remains, whole or in parts, blood or bone,” Grime continued.
Wilson said this new phase is only one portion of the ongoing investigation.
“There are currently a large number of investigators on this active ongoing case. We are optimistic that we will find her,” said Wilson.
The officials on hand were asked if Grime was simply brought in to keep the case from growing cold.
Parrish responded that every resource available to the agencies involved would continue to be employed to bring Theresa home.
“At this point we don’t know if Theresa is still in Georgia or where,” said Parrish. “We want to use whatever means we have to find her.”
“We don’t have to find her to charge someone,” said Jerry Scott of the GBI’s Rome regional field office. However, it seems that the facts surrounding the case have remained the same over the last several weeks.Officials said that Parker’s husband, Sam Parker, remains the only person of interest to investigators.
“There have been no new names added to our list,” said Wilson.
