On August 18, Parks called the cops and claimed that he couldn’t find his wife after the pair had an argument.
He added that his wife left with an unknown person and claimed he called her several times before contacting authorities.
Police then searched Parks’ Crawfordsville, Indiana, home and found Hope’s head in the cellar as well as a .22 caliber rifle and a spent cartridge.
They also found dried blood on the deck, driveway, a bloody shoeprint in the garage door, and blood droppings in the backyard.
Cops also found what they believe to be Hope’s phone in a safe in a bedroom and a stained blue tarp, which they think his wife’s body was transported in.
