MURDER IS A FAMILY AFFAIR

description

Judy Parker murdered her millionaire husband John to get her hands on his money – but it wasn’t easy.

All her plots fell apart…until the coldhearted mom got her kids involved.

“She could have gotten a divorce, but then she would have gotten only half of his money. She wanted it all,” John’s sister Tanya Parker told The ENQUIRER.

Judy twice hired hit men to kill John, but both times they simply ran off with the money she paid them. She tried poisoning him by putting the drug Ecstasy in his food – but that only made him ill. Finally, she enlisted the help of her 17-year-old daughter and her 15-year-old son – John’s stepchildren – to help slaughter him.

“It is hard to conceive of anything worse – a mother getting her children to help her carry out a murder,” prosecutor Kathleen O’Halloran told The ENQUIRER.

John was a successful businessman in Merrillville, Ind., but his wife Judy came from an impoverished childhood in Texas.

When she met and married John, she fell into the lap of luxury. But while John worked 12-hour days, Judy began having affairs.

Fickle Judy eventually grew tired of John and decided to kill him. At the time, he was worth about $2 million and also had a $1 million life insurance policy – money Judy would get if he died, said Tanya.

“I can only characterize her as evil.”

After her three attempts to kill John failed, Judy turned to her two children from a previous marriage, Christina and Daniel, for help.

“They went along with her because she promised them drugs and the freedom to use drugs,” said Tanya. “My brother (David) had put both of them in drug rehab, and they were very angry. Judy did drugs as well.”

On April 17, 2003, Judy asked John to take her to dinner, and while they were at the restaurant, Christina phoned John and said one of the two daughters he had with Judy needed information from his office computer for a homework assignment.

John and Judy drove to his office. When John got out of the car in the dark, his stepson Daniel shot him. He died instantly – at age 33.
