Someone in Oglethorpe County—Fullington wasn’t sure who that was---found Parker’s body in a board well, which averages 50 to 60 feet deep. The well was next to an abandoned house on the highway in the Sandy Cross Community.
The house “was like any abandoned house,” Fullington said, and was about ¼ mile to ½ mile from another house. From the abandoned house, no other house could be seen, “so it was really rural,” Fullington said.
He praised the Athens Clarke County Fire Department and the Search and Rescue Team, who brought trucks and equipment to retrieve Parker’s body, even though it was in Oglethorpe County.
