Employees reported that 50-year-old Jeannie Parker and her 58-year-old husband Timothy Parker did not show up for work, prompting a welfare check at their Spanish Fork, Utah, home on March 14, 2023. Officers entered through an unlocked window and discovered both had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. Their son and stepson, 26-year-old Tryston Robert Erickson, who lived with them, became the focus of the investigation when Jeannie’s cellphone and a vehicle were found missing from the residence.

Investigators tracked the phone near Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and authorities there located the vehicle; a police chase ended with Erickson’s arrest. At capture he had a handgun on his person and two more were found in the car. Photographs on Erickson’s phone dated March 12 showed Jeannie and Timothy deceased, and a text sent from Jeannie’s phone to coworkers appeared to have been sent after she was likely already dead. Court documents say Erickson was charged with two counts of aggravated murder, and note a history of substance abuse and mental health issues, including a schizophrenia diagnosis, plus prior criminal charges.

Does anyone have information about the Parkers, their neighborhood, or Tryston Erickson’s movements in early March 2023?
