Local and state authorities are looking for a 911 dispatch supervisor who has been missing since at least Thursday.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent James Harris is leading the search for 41-year-old Theresa Parker. He said the last known contact with Parker was with her sister at around 10 p.m. on Wednesday. Parker was reportedly on her way to clean a residence before moving into it.
Foul play is not suspected at this time, Harris said.
Parker and her husband of about 14 years, Sam Parker, an officer with the LaFayette Police Department, were in the process of separating and she was moving into another residence, Harris said. The agent emphasized that at this point, having not located Parker, this is still a missing person case.
Sam Parker is a sergeant in the LaFayette Police Department patrol division. Newly hired LaFayette Public Safety Director Tommy Freeman said Parker is still working, choosing to keep his mind busy rather than worrying about where his wife might be.
“Sam appeared to be extremely worried about his wife,” Freeman said.
Wilson expounded on the need for some secrecy during this ongoing investigation but urged the media not to draw any conclusions until the investigation uncovered the answers to her disappearance.

Anyone with information about Theresa Parker’s whereabouts should contact Georgia Bureau of Investigation Special Agent James Harris at (706) 624-1424, Walker County Sheriff’s Office Detective Walt Hensley at (706) 638-1913 or the 911 center at (706) 375-7810.

Harris said authorities have “searched several residences” but could not discuss what they did or did not find. Officers have “canvassed” the neighborhood where she lived with her husband and the area surrounding her new residence.
Investigators have interviewed several people including Sam Parker, Harris said, adding the sergeant was fully cooperating with the investigating authorities.
Parker was close to her family and spoke with them daily, he said. She has worked at the 911 center for 15 year and Wilson said it would be uncharacteristic for her to leave town without telling anyone.
Harris confirmed she has taken trips alone in the past but always let her family know she was leaving and maintained telephone contact with them during the trip.
Wilson said she last clocked out at 6 a.m. on Wednesday morning. Her mother reported her missing on Saturday. Later that afternoon, the sheriff asked the GBI to step in and assist.
Due to the deteriorating nature of her relationship and with her seeking another residence, her husband did not realize she was missing, Wilson said.
To date, there are at least two agents and five detectives working on the case.
Her next day on the job was set to be Monday at 6 p.m., Wilson said
