Information on the case from local sources, may or may not be correct : Parker was last seen with a cousin at approximately 6:00 p.m. on April 11, 2004, at the North Sherwood Forest Park in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He left his car, a red 1993 Pontiac Grand Am, behind the treeline in the northwest corner of the park and left his cousin inside the vehicle while he went into the park. He said he wanted to look for a cellular phone holder which he had lost. Parker never returned. A search for him uncovered only his cellular phone and one of his shoes about fifty yards from where his car was parked. Parker's loved ones are puzzled by his disappearance; he has not gone missing before and never even spent the night away from home without telling his parents. He worked at Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers and attended Baton Rouge Community College at the time of his disappearance. He had seen the movie The Passion of the Christ shortly before his disappearance and was deeply moved by it. After watching the film, he told his family members he would be "leaving soon." It is unclear what Parker meant by this statement or whether the film had anything to do with his disappearance. Parker's case remains unsolved. He may have traveled to Canada after he was last seen.

A person may go missing through a voluntary disappearance, or else due to an accident, crime, death in a location where they cannot be found (such as at sea), or many other reasons. In most parts of the world, a missing person will usually be found quickly. While criminal abductions are some of the most widely reported missing person cases, these account for only 2�5% of missing children in Europe. By contrast, some missing person cases remain unresolved for many years. Laws related to these cases are often complex since, in many jurisdictions, relatives and third parties may not deal with a person's assets until their death is considered proven by law and a formal death certificate issued. The situation, uncertainties, and lack of closure or a funeral resulting when a person goes missing may be extremely painful with long-lasting effects on family and friends. Several organizations seek to connect, share best practices, and disseminate information and imAge at the time of disappearance: s of missing children to improve the effectiveness of missing children investigations, including the International Commission on Missing Persons, the International Centre for Missing & Exploited Children (ICMEC), as well as national organizations, including the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in the US, Missing People in the UK, Child Focus in Belgium, and The Smile of the Child in Greece.
