Testimony Continues in Bobbi Parker Trial

MANGUM, Okla. (AP) – A former Oklahoma prison warden says he wanted a convicted killer removed from a pottery program that included the warden’s wife and was run from the garage of his home. Randy Parker testified Friday in the trial of his wife – Bobbi Parker. She’s charged with helping the inmate – Randolph Dial – escape the prison in Granite where Randy Parker was deputy warden. Parker said he asked prison officials to remove Dial from the program days before Dial and Bobbi Parker disappeared in 1994. Prosecutors say Bobbi Parker fell in love with Dial and helped him escape. The two were found living together in Campti, in Shelby County, Texas, in 2005. Defense attorneys say Dial kidnapped Bobbi Parker and held her hostage. The Parkers reunited after Bobbi Parker and Dial were found.
