Escaped Convict, Warden's Wife Found
April 05, 2005
OKLAHOMA CITY — The wife of a deputy prison warden who disappeared 10 years ago along with a convicted killer has been found unharmed in East Texas but doesn't appear to be in any hurry to return to her old life, authorities said.
A tip generated by the TV show "America's Most Wanted" led law enforcement to a mobile home in Campti, Texas, where escaped convict Randolph Dial (search) was arrested Monday, said Salvador Hernandez, special agent in charge of the FBI in Oklahoma.
The assistant warden's wife, Bobbi Parker (search), was found a short time later working at a chicken ranch elsewhere in the county, agents said. Once described by the FBI as an endangered missing person, Parker was not arrested.
"As far as I know, she has no intention of leaving," Shelby County Sheriff Newton Johnson told The Oklahoman late Monday. "She said she wants to stay on the farm and raise chickens."
Dial, 60, was taken into custody without incident. A loaded pistol was found on top of a nearby table, the FBI said.
Investigators initially thought Parker, 42, was kidnapped and held against her will by Dial, who escaped Aug. 30, 1994, from the Oklahoma State Reformatory (search) in Granite in southwestern Oklahoma.

He's got a chicken ranch. Do you?
Hope they never take America's Most Wanted off the air.
When they said chicken ranch I didn't think they meant the beaked, egg laying ugly kind.
Not down to my knees, I don't.
I have this little tiny chicken ranch.
A wee little bunch of birds.
Barely a 10th of an acre.
It's trying to keep the herd from wandering off during the long walks that makes Chicken Ranching so hard.
That's what I thought.................
I think Admin Moderator has a crush on me.
I guess some people just really like chickens!
He only has 3" - but he measures it from the floor up
Well it's Fr fund raising time...need to clean up posts throughout (never know about visitors). Though mindless, off FR missson statement vanities get a pass.

Watch me make the next post disappear.
I think she must just like it Rough!
too close to Bonnie Parker (of Bonnie and Clyde fame)
Mrs. W: "Still want to show me your cucumber?"
I would imagine their first encounter went something like this:
Bobbi: "My name's Bobbi. People call me Mrs. Parker."
Dial: "Oh, we have a Warden Parker at the Oklahoma State Reformatory."
Bobbi: "How interesting. I have a husband named Warden Parker at the Oklahoma State Reformatory. Still want to show me your cucumber?"
Did she help this inmate escape? And she's not charged with anything?
