I was watching old tapes of my UM recordings and I came across this old case, which still remains unsolved. Dial was a convict at a minimum security facility where he possibly drugged and kidnapped the warden's wife and fled. There was the speculation that he had convinced her into running off with him as they were having an affair. The warden seemed to dismiss the possibility, but there seemed to be be a degree of uncertainty on in his tone of voice. His words, "I need her to come home now, my kids need their mother," gave me the vibe that he new that she had run off with someone else and that he was really pleading with her to come back to him. During the interview he did seem like the Barney Fiph type and not the big tough warden that would intimidate cons, except with maybe a revolver at hand, if he didn't drop and shoot himself on the foot of course. Could Bobbie, the warden's wife been seduced by the charm and danger, sex-appeal of an older gentleman? :confused: :rolleyes:

this was always one of the most puzzling cases to me...the whole thing seems very bizarre and im surprised there was never any updates or resolutions. the most scary thing was probobly the womans picture. she looked like she was possessed

Well there has been some recent activity since the UM broadcast. This case was also aired on AMW and they mentioned that in November of 2001 an author who was writing a book about Dial recieved a call, supposedly from the fugitive himself! The writer than asked to speak with Bobbie Parker and he then heard a woman on the other end of the phone. When asked for clues about his location Dial simply said "delta" and hung up.

no kidding...i didnt know that. interesting to say the least.

Yes, I have that book and its pretty interesting. They speak a little about Bobbi Parker and the situation there but its mostly about his life of crime in general.
