Custody Battle Turns to Murder: The Tragic Story of Kim and Frank Parker

A custody battle is often the final, bitter war of a failed marriage. But for Frank Parker and Kim Baldwin, it was just the beginning.

Frank was a devoted father who lived for his children; he was willing to sacrifice everything just to be in their lives. Kim was his charismatic ex-wife, a woman with a difficult past who craved control over every aspect of her world, especially her kids. Their divorce devolved into a brutal, multi-year conflict filled with vicious accusations, harassment, and even threats of violence.

The war reached its peak when Kim leveled the most horrific allegation a parent can face against their ex-partner. It was a move designed to destroy Frank and ensure he would never see his children again. But it backfired.
In a stunning courtroom reversal, Frank was completely exonerated, and the judge, outraged by Kim's lies, stripped her of custody and awarded it to him. For Frank, the nightmare was finally over. He had won.

But something was about to happen that would change the lives of many of the pepople involved in this tragic case.
