LOUISVILLE (KSP / News Release) – Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 1 in Mayfield has positively identified remains found nearly 25 years ago thanks to the help of advanced DNA technology. On May 6, 1999, human remains were discovered in Lake Barkley, Lyon County, Kentucky, by two fishermen. The individual was located wrapped in heavy tire chains and anchored with a hydraulic jack.
At the time, investigators were unable to identify the male using traditional investigative techniques. In 2016, the body of the victim was exhumed in hopes that further examinations would help make an identification. Despite extensive efforts using DNA technology, dental examinations, forensic pathology, and other advanced forensic testing, the victim remained unidentified. A profile for the remains was entered into the National Missing and Unidentified Person System (NAMUS) as case: UP# 75.

Investigators immediately began researching Parham, which led to multiple revelations. In 1999, Parham was residing in Fort Smith, Arkansas. At that time, Parham was awaiting trial on various criminal charges. In March of 1999, Parham disappeared and was thought to have left the area to flee prosecution. The FBI obtained additional charges for Mr. Parham and conducted an ongoing investigation into his whereabouts. Until now, Parham’s disappearance remained a mystery.

Hopes he’s doing okay
Did he know the Clintons by any chance?
Ya' think?
Sounds like he ran with the wrong crowd, engaged in the wrong hobbies, and pissed off the wrong people.
The tire chains and jack have more of a ad-hoc feel, using items on hand. But who in Kentucky has need of tire chains? That suggests he was killed somewhere further north and dropped off there. Or that somebody with a semi might’ve been involved.
CC
Not Fair, you mean he was voting in MO and KY the whole time?
Sounds like country justice served him the justice he was due.
Wanted by the FBI? Is he going to be charged in the Jan 6 “insurrection”?
This is Keystone Cop territory.
Arkancide used to happen at an alarming rate. Dixie Mafia stuff
“Wanted by the FBI? Is he going to be charged in the Jan 6 “insurrection”?”
You are probably correct. LOL!
I also bet the local cops will be able to blame him for all sorts of unsolved crimes and wiped them off the books as now “solved”.
He was trying to chain up the snow tires on his boat and the jack slipped. Your Honor.
The 2010 film Winter’s Bone comes to mind.
That’s one low information article.
Of course that seems to be the result of a lack of investigative journalism these days. The so called journalists, these days, wait to be spoon fed info from the government. Otherwise, Americans are in-the-dark.
He really knows how to hide from the FBI! I bet he was great at hide and seek.
Sounds like a suicide to me!
He was a UFAP. Unlawful Flight to Avoide Prosecution.
Sounds to me like someone was worried this guy would provide the FIB some information to lighten his own load.
Sounds like he was tired.....
Interesting that faced with a missing defendant, the FBI would not have systematically checked reports of unid’ed bodies that matched the general parameters (male, estimated height, etc.).
Odd also that whoever took the loss on his bail bond wouldn’t have been looking too. Might be fruitful to look into whoever paid the bail as a suspect in the guy’s death.
