- On the afternoon of December 15, 1927, twelve-year-old Marion Parker was checked out of her Los Angeles junior high school by a man claiming to be an employee of her father, Perry Parker, an employee at a bank in the city. The man claimed Parker had been in an accident and he was to bring the girl to see her father, but this was just a ruse to abduct the girl. The following day, Marion’s parents received several cryptic ransom letters demanding $1,500 in gold in exchange for the safe return of their daughter. On December 17, Perry Parker delivered the money to the kidnapper, who took the money, then dumped Marion’s dead, mutilated body out of the car before speeding away.

Please don’t ever stop this podcast! 😭❤️
Part two needs to hurry, I'm hurting for this Father 😢 to live with that image ... that's a nightmare.
Thank you girls for all your hard work 💙✌️💙🫠
I wasn't sure if anyone else caught this but as a 90s baby like Ash I couldn't help but make a connection I thought was fascinating. The girls were twins, born on October 11th, one girlie one a little more rough around the edges & their last name was Parker juuuuust like the twins in 'The Parent Trap'. Just thought I'd share. Love you girlies 🥰
Good god 😭😭… the reveal killed me internally… literally bawling my eyes out…
Y'all should do Richard Evonitz. His ex wife is still alive and is an author who's been telling her story of being married to a serial killer. Would be an awesome interview!
So sad. Poor little one and family 😔
The first long-distance phone call occurred in New York from Bell to San Francisco and Watson in 1915, there may not have been a telephone call from the school to the bank at this time. Not every institution had phones? 16:21
Please post part 2 😭
Omg it's on youtube too ?! so excited
Poor girl. 😢
I’m sorry these people should definitely called out I know it was a different time but common sense All the misinformation and ignorance of the person said to be trusted with picking her up. I’m mean immediately when stated that the father wanted his daughter we all immediately said/ thought “only
One “?! This teacher was beyond stupid and negligent If she was dealing with a student making a case for not doing homework
she would of seen through the holes and spotted the red flags if a student was putting a a story out like that to get out of school Then not checking ringing home qualifying anything and putting the other child at risk and anxiety waiting for her sister not bothering to inform her that her sister had already left And yes the 1920s but there had been infamous well known child kidnap cases that were in the public’s psyche Fustrating and tragic😢
I think he would have killed her regardless he just wanted to make a statement
😨
