LAFAYETTE, Ga. — Authorities conducted a ground search Tuesday near the home of a northwest Georgia 911 dispatcher missing since last week.

Relatives of Theresa Parker contacted the Walker County sheriff's office on Saturday after growing concerned because they hadn't heard from Parker in several days.

Parker, 41, was last heard from about 10 p.m. Wednesday when she talked on the phone with her sister, said Walker County Sheriff Steve Wilson. It was Parker's habit to talk to her mother or other relatives at least once a day.

"Obviously this is totally uncharacteristic for her. ... She's always been a very punctual type person who is very dedicated to her job, her family," Wilson told FOXNews.com on Tuesday.

Police received a tip Monday night that caused Wilson to deploy searchers around 11 a.m. to the area around Parker's home. They are focusing on two to three parcels of property, he said.....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,261660,00.html

Husband of Missing 911 Operator Says She Ran Off After Having Affair

The husband of Georgia 911 dispatcher Theresa Parker, who has been missing for two months, says he had nothing to do with his wife's disappearance and thinks she ran off after having an affair.

"She got caught in a mess and imploded," Sam Parker told FOX affiliate WAGA during his first interview since Theresa, his wife of 14 years, vanished on March 21.

Sam Parker said he believes his wife fled Georgia after getting caught in an extra marital affair and said he did not harm her. He said he thinks he knows where his estranged wife is and he believes she is still alive.

"I think I know where but I'll just let it go at that; if she's happy, fine," Parker told WAGA's Tony Thomas.

The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which has taken the lead in the case, considers Sam Parker a "person of interest," but has not said so publicly.

"It's against our policy to comment on suspects and we don't use the term 'person of interest,'" GBI spokesman John Bankhead told FOXNews.com on Wednesday.

Asked whether investigators believe Sam Parker's story that Theresa ran off on her own, Bankhead said: "Based on what we know and based on what we know about her, we don't think that's the case."....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,275025,00.html
