Theresa Parker’s two sisters, Christina Hall and Hilda Wilson, testified Thursday morning, as well as Theresa’s nieces Erica Patterson and Amanda Gilbert.
Hall lives in Fort Oglethorpe with her husband and children, five minutes from the apartment that Theresa had rented before she disappeared.
Hall said Theresa told her, before she left for Gatlinburg, that she was going there to clear her mind.
“She was just stressed and needed to get away to think about things,” Hall said.
Hall said Theresa called her during her trip and Theresa told her she was enjoying some coffee and her privacy and that the area was beautiful. Hall said Theresa did not say anyone was accompanying her on the trip.
Hall said Theresa told her about moving into an apartment in Fort Oglethorpe a few days after her Gatlinburg trip.
Hall said that, on Wednesday, March 21, 2007, Theresa stopped by her house around 9:30 p.m. and wanted Hall to go see her new place, but Hall was in the middle of making dinner and helping her children with homework and could not go at that time.
Theresa told her she was going to go back to the Cordell Avenue residence to get more of her items to move into the new apartment.
Around 10:45 that same night, not long after Theresa left Hall’s residence, she received a call from the Parker residence and figured it was Sam and she did not answer it, because Theresa had told her if Sam called, not to tell him where she was moving to and Hall did not want to talk to him at that time.
“I didn’t want to deal with that (Sam’s questioning),” Hall said.
Hall said she knew Theresa would be moving back and forth during Wednesday and Fri-day, so she did not have regular contact with her.
By Friday, March 23, 2007, Hall woke up that morning with a “bad feeling” and after she took her children to school, she began to call Theresa to no avail.
Hall said she repeatedly called Theresa that day and received no answer.
“She would always answer and return phone calls,” Hall said.
After the filing of a missing person report on Theresa, Hall began to question Sam’s in-volvement.
On June 6, 2007, Sam had called Hall and asked her to do some “detective work” and call Walker County deputy Shane Green and asked him when was the last time he and Theresa talked.
Sam referred to Green as “gay” and told her that Green had been allegedly been a male stripper in Florida.
Hall called Green and then called Sam back and told him everything was fine with Green and that Green was like a “girlfriend” to the women at 911, but that Sam did not want to believe that.
District attorney Leigh Patterson showed Hall the pictures that were found at the Walker County landfill in January 2008.
Hall named the people in each photo that included her family, Sam and Theresa.
Hall said that the last time she had seen those framed photos were at the Parker resi-dence at 985 Cordell Ave.
According to Hall, in the summer of 2006, Sam and Theresa were at their home and were in the middle of a cookout. Theresa was taking a bath in the bathtub and Sam came in and got in the tub and began to go into a “rage” and was throwing candles and body wash and breaking glass, which caused Theresa (as she told her sister) to fear for her life, thus prompt-ing the couple to file for divorce at that time.
On June 6, 2007, Hall got a call from Sam, where Sam told her, “I knew Theresa better than anyone on earth,” and then corrected himself by saying, “I mean, I know her better than anyone on earth.”
Next on the stand was Theresa Parker’s oldest sister, Hilda Wilson.
Wilson recalled a time when Theresa and Hilda’s two daughters, Amanda and Ashton, went to Cancun, where the sisters met a 23-year-old man named Elvis.
