Testimony Continues in Warden’s Wife’s Trial

MANGUM, Okla. (AP) – A former Oklahoma prison employee went back on the witness stand Thursday in the trial of an ex-deputy warden’s wife who is charged with helping a convicted killer escape in 1994. Glenn Hardin testified in the trial of 49-year-old Bobbi Parker. Prosecutors allege Parker fell in love with Randolph Dial and helped him escape the Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite, where her husband, Randy, was deputy warden. Defense attorneys claim Dial kidnapped Bobbi Parker and held her hostage until they were found living in Campti, Texas, in 2005. Dial also maintained until his death in prison in 2007 that he kidnapped Parker and held her hostage. Hardin testified Wednesday that he had regular contact with Dial at the prison’s physical fitness area and called him egotist.
