Joseph Parker shot and killed his wife in November of 2014, and two days later had called 911 to say that his wife still blinked even with a head wound. He had put her in the freezer after mutilating her legs and cutting her ankles off, and became Top 10 Wanted in Tennessee before taking his own life after police pulled him over on the highway I-65 heading to Kentucky. Joseph made the 911 call two days after killing his wife, claiming that he saw her blink even though there was a shot through her head. The suspect said that he just wanted someone out there to care for his wife, and that he didn’t want to be arrested either. It was only 3 in the morning, so police were able to get out there quickly, unfortunately the victim Samantha Parker has long been dead. Joseph was in financial stress and resorted to drugs, which caused all of this mess. Police raced to find him, but when they did, he used the same gun that killed his wife to kill himself. All while Joseph’s sister was on the phone while the suspect was making a getaway.
