Case Number 74: The Brutal Murder of Corey Parker

When 25 year old Corey Parker was found brutally stabbed in her Jacksonville Beach apartment, investigators immediately had their suspicions that she knew her killer. Unfortunately, determining the identity of the perpetrator wasn't so easy. Being a social butterfly with many friends and acquaintances made narrowing down the persons of interest a little more difficult. Having several different DNA samples from the crime scene certainly did not help either. After ruling out all those suspected from Corey's list of friends, detectives had no choice but to wait for more leads. Over a year later, when a reward was offered for more information, a couple local residents recalled a former coworker who lived in the building next to Corey and how he lied about his need to leave town shortly after her murder.
