The investigation into a missing Walker County 911 dispatcher has taken a new turn.

Investigators confiscated the patrol car assigned to Teresa Parker’s estranged husband.

Sam Parker is a sergeant with the LaFayette police department.

Records show at least three domestic violence reports between Parker and her husband.

The couple also had a mutual restraining order, and are going through a divorce.

Thursday night, family and friends gathered for a candlelight prayer vigil.

The group says they remain optimistic about Parker's safe return.

She disappeared nine days ago.

Searchers found her car in her driveway, and tracked her last cell phone call, but still have no sign of the 41-year old.
