In the five years after Carey's family filed its missing person report, the Hunt Co. Sheriff’s Office didn't interview her ex-boyfriend Cody. So, one day in May 2014, her son Brian took matters into his own hands.
In a 7-minute call, Brian questions Cody about some of the things his grandfather told the family about a party and a fight in a place called Hawk Cove.
Years after Carey Mae Parker went missing, her family started hearing rumors about a party. And a fight.
Janice and Cody lived together for a year in Oklahoma. She says that not long after they started dating, he mentioned Carey and the last time he says he saw her. He told her that Carey threw a drink in his face before leaving a party.
Carey's brother Glenn says that Cody's father started acting strangely after her disappearance. He believes they both knew something about it.
It's been over two decades since Cody's ex-girlfriend Carey Mae Parker disappeared. But even after all these years, Carey is very much on Cody's mind.
Cody's ex-girlfriend Janice digs into rumors about Carey Mae Parker 's car and a disturbing letter she received from a man in prison.
In November 2016, a detective from the Hunt Co. Sheriff's Office traveled to Tishomingo, OK, to track down and question Carey's ex-boyfriend Cody.
Cody tells Sgt. Jeff Haines that Carey started "stalking" him and followed him to a party in Hawk Cove, TX. Cody says that was the last time he saw her.
In his first interview with the detective investigating Carey Mae Parker 's disappearance, Cody recounts his version of the party in Hawk Cove.
