Parker, Sheryl Lynn

Sheryl “Sherry” Hahn Parker, 41, was the mother of two teenage girls and a payroll clerk for Larimer County. She had checked into the Budget Host Motel at Del Camino the night of July 17, 1996 following a domestic dispute with her husband, Ed Parker, whom she was planning to divorce. She was reported missing July 18. Eight days later, her beaten body was found floating in the St. Vrain River near a gravel pit two miles from the motel. Neither the car nor the motel room were investigated for two weeks.
