About this listen
"Failure to comply with these requests means no one will ever see the girl again, except the angels in heaven."
The year is 1927, and Christmas is right around the corner. In the city of Los Angeles, lights are shining, streets are bustling, and a well-to-do family of five is living out what seems to be just another ordinary day.
However, unbeknownst to all but one man, this would be the last time the Parker family would ever experience such peace. By the time dusk falls, they would be forever torn apart.
Marion Parker's Abduction and Murder is an excursion into a crime so chilling that it not only sent shockwaves through the nation but forever changed the American judicial system and how all future crimes were overseen. Here's what we'll reveal within these pages:
- Detailed account: Follow the sequence of events from Marion's abduction by William Edward Hickman to the intense police search and the heartbreaking discovery of the girl's fate.
- Psychological analysis: Gain insight into Hickman's terribly troubled person, his motivations, and how this crime reflects the dark side of human nature.
- Historical context: Get to know the societal backdrop of 1920s Los Angeles, a time and place when jobs were scarce due to the onset of the Great Depression and where people went to heinous lengths to get their hands on whatever finances they could.
- Multi-faceted commentary: From Marion herself to William Hickman, from the police to the Parker family, right up to the nation at large, we provide insights into how the case played out in the eyes of all those involved.
- Emotional impact: Explore the mental turmoil suffered by the Parker family along with the rest of the nation as they grappled with the cold truth of the case.
Marion Parker's Abduction and Murder is more than a mere retelling of a horrible crime; it represents a broader commentary on the vulnerabilities of the human psyche and the societal factors that can lead to such tragedies.
If you're a true crime enthusiast who enjoys exploring the darker chapters of American history, then this is an absolute must-read!
