SPECIAL REPORT: What happened to Eleanor Parker?

http://www.wafb.com/story/38060813/special-report-what-happened-to-eleanor-parker

It's believed to be one of the oldest, unsolved missing persons cases in Baton Rouge.

Eleanor Parker disappeared without a trace on November 10, 1981. Her body was never found.

Sergeant Ross Williams currently oversees the Homicide Division at BRPD. He has dug through files and reports from back when this case was originally filed. He believes the case is worth revisiting, but the challenge is that this is a race against time.

"From reading it and looking over some of the people they've interviewed in here, I think some people know where she is or where she was or where she used to be," said Williams. "Now whether or not she's still there or not, I don't know. Some of the people and witnesses that they had listed in here have since died or are deceased as well."

Williams plans to revisit Parker's living family members to gather new DNA samples in case anything ever turns up and detectives are able to move forward.

Details of Disappearance

Parker was last seen in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana on November 10, 1981. She stopped at her parents' home in the Southdowns neighborhood to pick up some winter clothing, and was last seen driving in the direction of her apartment, which was on Gardere Lane.

One of Parker's former classmates claims to have seen her and spoken to her at the Cortana Mall on November 14, four days after she left her parents' home. The witness said Parker was wearing jeans and a gray Lee High School shirt with a blue football in the center. This sighting has never been confirmed.

On November 18, her 1975 Ford Maverick was found parked alongside the road at North and North 17th Streets, near Goudchaux's, which is where Parker was employed at the time that she vanished. Her clothes were neatly folded in the trunk. There was no sign of a struggle at the scene.

Parker had moved into an apartment in East Baton Rouge with three female room mates shortly before her disappearance, and was planning to attend Louisiana State University the following spring. She is missing under suspicious circumstances; foul play is suspected in her case.
