CUMBERLAND COUNTY: Authorities were shocked to find Parham's DNA all over the crime scene of an unsolved brutal murder. In 1998, Theodora Cooper, a woman who lived in Landover, Md., was found dead in her apartment. Theodora's boyfriend came to see her, after not hearing from her all day. When he walked in, he discovered her lifeless body. She had been stabbed at least 30 times. After thoroughly investigating, no suspects came onto their radar and cops were forced to consider it a cold case. But then, Parham's DNA test results linked him to the crime scene and cops ordered an additional blood test to confirm the results. Sure enough, the results linked Parham again to the crime. But when they went to charge the inmate for the murder, he wasn't in prison. Parham had been released less than a week earlier.

Investigators have reason to believe Parham is hiding out with family in the Cumberland County area. You can recognize him by his unusual green eyes.

On March 25 at 5:33 p.m., 3rd District officers responded to the 2000 block of Treetop Lane in Montgomery County, Maryland after reports of a robbery. Preliminary investigation revealed that two adult females were inside the residence and allowed Parham and an unidentified man into the residence. Once inside, Parham threatened the victims with a handgun and demanded property. Parham then forced the women into another room, where he sexually assaulted them. Parham and the other man fled the scene. Investigation by detectives has determined that the second man was not involved in the robbery or sexual assaults.
