Once again, justice was delayed for the family of an Everett firefighter killed in an arson fire 34 years ago.
Firefighter Gary Parks died battling an intense fire at Everett Community College in February 1987.
The suspect, Elmer Nash Jr., was finally supposed to be sentenced on Friday, but he never showed up to court.
As a result, Parks’ family said they were dealing with bottled-up emotions and a lot of pent-up frustration.
“It’s profound anxiety. Profound. It’s terrible,” said Parks’ wife, Kathy Parks.
