Sheri Lynn Parker, 56, managed the Riverview RV Park and Campground in Lake Ozark, Missouri, with her husband James Jim Hagerty Parker. The couple lived in the manager’s quarters on-site and were found dead in bed after gunfire was reported in the early hours of November 8, 2017. Both had fatal gunshot wounds. Investigators noted forced entry and learned that shots had been fired into another couple’s RV around midnight, wounding one man.

Detectives focused on a former tenant, 58-year-old Gary Sweet, who had been evicted in October after a verbal dispute with James Parker. Shell casings at the scene matched ammunition found at Sweet’s home, surveillance showed a truck like his at the campground, and cell phone data placed him nearby. Sweet was arrested, charged, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder and two counts of assault in March 2019, and received two consecutive life sentences for the killings of Sheri and Jim Parker.

Did anyone know Sheri or her husband at the campground or have information about the events on the night of November 7–8, 2017?
