Home Invasion Turned Deadly- The Parkers

Welcome to SIC!

In February 1990, four members of the Parker family were murdered inside their Walnut, Mississippi farmhouse, their home set ablaze to hide the crime. What followed was one of the most horrifying cases in state history—and a decades-long fight for justice. This week, we investigate the Parker family murders, the paroled men behind them, and the surviving sons who never stopped demanding accountability.
