A team of Police cadets combed the front lawn, backyard and surrounding areas on their hands and knees looking for clues.

A care-giver was hired and he made her meals every morning and evening. He was also responsible for keeping the house clean.

Before her illness, Mrs. Parker was an active member of the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club and the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club.

Mrs. Parker was also a longtime member of the Pilot's Club which is the female branch of the Rotary Club and an avid bingo player. She had no children.
