Daniel Parks, 31, was found dead on April 5, 2016, concealed inside a shed behind the home of 68-year-old Michael Oliver Murphy in a mobile home community in Davison, Michigan. Parks had been living with Murphy at the time. A neighbor reported that Murphy had asked for help dismembering Parks’ body, which led police to the scene and the subsequent discovery.

An autopsy determined Parks died as a result of foul play. Investigators reported Murphy shot Parks first with a .22-caliber rifle and then again with a more powerful rifle during an altercation. Murphy was arrested and charged with first-degree homicide, disinterment/mutilation of a dead body, and felony firearms. He later pleaded no contest to second-degree murder and expressed remorse in court before sentencing.

Are there details about Parks’ life in Davison or his movements before April 5, 2016, that anyone can share?
