Douglas Glenn ParkerNeighbors have wildly different opinions of Doug Parker. Some say he was kind, personable and helpful; others were downright afraid of him.
“He kind of gave me the creeps,” said Mary McHan, who lived next door to Parker’s mobile home in Dalton, Ga.
Sarah Young said her dogs would raise their hackles whenever Parker was around.
On Saturday, Parker, 54, was arrested in Murphy, N.C., and charged with two counts of murder, accused of killing his mother and sister, Edna Sue Fields, 71, and Rebecka June Wade, 45. Both were found in Fields’ home on Friday evening in Ranger, Ga.
Also on Saturday, his wife, Janet Kay Parker, was arrested in Cherokee County, N.C., for trafficking in opium or heroin and was set to be extradited to Georgia. Douglas Parker was arrested later that day, also on a charge of trafficking opium or heroin, and is also is slated to be returned to Georgia.
