David Sparks, 23, was charged with abuse of a corpse and evidence tampering after Spurlock’s body was discovered just before midnight Wednesday on his
parents’ property on Fall Lick Road, according to police and court records. Sparks was living with his parents by the time she was found, Chavies said.

Sparks’ father had his attorney contact police after he smelled something on the property, Chavies said during Monday’s hearing in Garrard County.
Police had
searched the Fall Lick Road property at least once previously, state police said Thursday.
Spurlock’s body was buried in a grave that was 19 inches deep at its deepest point, Chavies testified Monday.

Sparks had previously told police that Spurlock went with him
and two other men to his home at the time on Price Court in Lancaster in the early morning hours of Jan. 4, Chavies testified. Sparks said that the other two men left the home and Spurlock slept in Sparks’ bed while he slept on the couch, Chavies said.

During one of the early searches of Sparks’ home on Price Court on
Jan. 10, detectives found a gray rug similar in dimension and color to the one that was found with Spurlock’s body.

During an
April 2 search of the Price Court house, investigators found a bloodstain consistent with Spurlock’s DNA just inside the door of the bedroom closet, Chavies said. The blood was not visible and had to be found using a latent blood reagent, Chavies testified. Detectives did not see it during their first search of the Price Court home.

Chavies testified that
Sparks had visited his parents’ home on Fall Lick Road — where Spurlock’s remains were eventually found —
on the evening of Jan. 4 for about two hours. That was less than a day after Spurlock was last seen.
Sparks returned to the Fall Lick Road in the early morning hours of Jan. 5.

I believe SS body was at the Fall Lick Road residence within hours of her death.
I believe DS probably prepared the burial or concealment area on Jan 4, and deposited SS in the ground during the early morning hours of Jan 5.
