one of them was her husband s former boss, warden jack cowley. did you suspect bobbi parker had a hand in it right away? i was drawn to that conclusion. it was cowley, remember, who picked dial to run the pottery program out of the parkers garage. then one day he now says he was driving by the parker home and i saw dial and bobbi out on the front porch drinking coffee or tea or something. they looked a little bit too cozy? right. then there were the phone calls from bobbi just after the prison break. she called her mother, and she made two more calls soon after that to a friend and her sister-in-law. but none to her husband. what did you think about that? i first of all, i thought it was relief. i thought it was good that she was able to make a phone call. i didn t think that she would be calling home because i just didn t figure dial would let her. maybe randy wasn t suspicious, but plenty of others were including charles sasser, the former detective who d
charles sasser. he said for the past nine years we re making an honest living, living a happy country living. we, sasser figured, included bobbi parker. he wanted proof that she was alive. he said, of course she s alive. do you want to talk to her? i was in bed sleeping. he told me he would put me on the phone. i said, i m tired, i m really tired. and reached back here for his gun. i said i put my hand up, i said he told me, just stick to the questions that he asks you. but even with dial right next to her, bobbi says she dared to go off script. after all, sasser was a former detective. this might be her chance. i said, have you seen my children? i knew i d probably be beat for it, but sometimes it s worth it.
i thought he would say would you like me to make a phone call to them, and he didn t. still, she says the conversation filled her with hope. i thought the fbi will be here, surely charles sasser will call them and they ll be here. sasser did call the fbi, but he didn t know where bobbi and dial were. no one came. bobbi says she was broken, resigned to her fate, and the years dragged on until one day in spring, 2005, when her life took another wild turn. coming up, a rescue is in the works, or was it a rescue at all? deputies are about to discover something odd. they picked up a lot of cards, like valentine cards, christmas cards. letters. valentines? uh-huh. when the devil and bobbi parker continues. parker continues. ttle.
had plenty of chances over the years to leave dial but didn t because she didn t want to. i think bobbi parker perhaps had not a perfect marriage, maybe she was lonely. maybe she was susceptible to a nice looking, very smooth-talking con man like randolph dial. at the trial, the state called former detective and author charles sasser who told jurors his take on his 2001 phone call with dial and bobbi. she was with him willingly, and they were living this happy country life. you know, almost like idyllic that they re together and happy together. that former inmate from years earlier testified about his affair with bobbi. the other inmate in granite said he d seen bobbi driving during the escape. and randy s former boss, warden jack cowley, testified about his observations that bobbi and dial seemed too cozy. you took the stand for the prosecution. uh-huh. why?
