A GBI investigator said accused murderer Sam Parker told him that his wife had gone to Mexico.
Agent James Harris, testifying Tuesday, said Sam told him, “She is in Cancun with a Mexican named Elvis.”
Harris said Sam showed him a picture of Theresa in Cancun with her nieces and an en-tertainer named “Elvis.”
Harris said investigators searched for Theresa in Cancun and interviewed various indi-viduals on whether they had seen her.
“He was very matter of fact,” Harris said about Sam’s demeanor.
Sam Parker’s trial began Monday, Aug. 17, in Walker County Superior Court in downtown LaFayette before Judge Jon “Bo” Wood. It is expected to last three weeks.
The jury, consisting of nine women and six men (including three alternates), was picked the previous week from Bartow County. It is not being sequestered. The jurors are being bused daily to and from Bartow.
Sam is accused of killing Theresa, who was last seen on March 21, 2007. Her body has never been found.
The couple were in the process of getting a divorce and moving out of their house on Cor-dell Road in LaFayette. Theresa was in the process of moving to an apartment in Fort Ogle-thorpe. Sam was staying in the house of his recently deceased father; the house was in Trion. At the time Sam was a sergeant with the LaFayette Police Department.
Public defender David Dunn questioned Harris about the “Elvis” character.
Dunn said the “Elvis” character in the picture is a real person and that Theresa’s niece became friends with him.
Dunn questioned why investigators waited so long to search for her in Cancun, noting that it conducted the search in October 2007.
Harris said that investigators checked all flights, buses, and more, for Theresa — to no avail.
