Parsons House

(Excerpt from interview or article) (www.wcnc.com 08/16/13) Parsons ordered to appear in juvenile court "Deputies delivered a civil juvenile summons to Casey and Sandy Parsons' house early Friday morning. The paperwork is sealed, but according to the Parsons' attorney Carlyle Sherrill, it's in reference to two children the Rowan County Department of Social Services removed from the Parsons' home August 1, after 15-year-old Erica Parsons was reported missing. One child removed from the home is a 7-year-old boy, and the other is an 8-year-old girl. Both are now being cared for by their grandmother. According to Sherrill, there will be a hearing to determine if those two children were abused or neglected."

"The parents kept collecting the check, even after their daughter no longer lived with them, because they expected Erica to come home “at anytime,” their lawyer says"

(Excerpt from interview or article) (www.charlotteobserver.com 08/18/13) How Erica could disappear and no one noticed "Relatives who found Erica’s absence odd never bothered to alert authorities. No favorite teacher intervened because Erica was home-schooled. No Facebook friend grew suspicious because Erica, at times reclusive, didn’t have an account." "But according to search warrants in the case, the Parsons weren’t able to provide contact information for Goodman. An Observer search of public records found no Irene Goodman within 50 miles of Asheville. Erica’s biological mother says on her Facebook page that Erica “has no family in Asheville.” "By age 2, she had been adopted into another side of her fractured family. A short time later she went to live with another relative after Casey, her new mom, told family members she “couldn’t stand to look” at the child, according to search warrants in the case. After eight months Erica was taken back by Casey and Sandy Parsons only because they were afraid of losing the state check they received each month for Erica, the warrants say. Those payments – which would be at least $634 a month for a child Erica’s age – are reserved for adoptive parents of special needs children."

(Excerpt from interview or article) (www.wsoctv.com 08/19/13) Eyewitness News talks one-on-one with Dr. Phil about the Parsons "I don't think they were here out of concern for their daughter, quite frankly. I think they were here to clear their name, because they say our daughter didn't disappear two years ago, she is not disappeared. She is with her grandmother," he said. Dr. Phil said Casey and Sandy Parsons seemed like a down-to-earth couple, but their instincts struck him as odd." "This is where it got strange for me, not as Dr. Phil, but as daddy Phil, as a parent. I mean when your child leaves for three weeks, and a month goes by, two months, three months, four months, six months, and you've not seen or heard from them, you don't just do anything," said Dr. Phil." "I found the father to be completely unresponsive. All he wanted to say, is 'not my job, I leave it up completely to her. 'I found that to be a very unusual situation," said Dr. Phil."

Dr. Phil: Did the school call and say where's your daughter, she's not back? Casey Parsons: "Nan" said that she was getting her tutored with her neighbor. Because Erica is home schooled, all my kids are home schooled. Dr. Phil: It doesn't matter whether they're home schooled, they're sitting in a classroom, you're still accountable to the school to turn in assignments, to give progress reports. Homeschooling is not just dropping out. Homeschooling is a curriculum, that is followed on a scheduled and it has to be proved up to the school if they were in fact home schooled. Were you the teacher? Casey Parsons: Yes. Dr. Phil: So when you stop turning in assignments after 12/17 did they ever call you? Casey Parsons: We don't have to turn in assignments in North Carolina. They just have to do their end of the grade tests, ah, and that don't even have to be, you just have to keep them on records. You don't do that in North Carolina.

They found these two people, and they only, the detectives only let us know they have knocked on their door and just asked them if they knew who he was and they're saying no but they are. One was "Strawberry" and one was a "Kelly."

Casey says that’s lies, all lies

(Excerpt from interview or article) - (www.salisburypost.com 08/21/13): Editorial: Sandy and Casey Parsons -- accountable to no one? "Relatives sounded some alarms. Casey’s sister reported several years ago that Erica was being abused, an accusation that child protection workers were not able to verify. Relatives said Erica went to live with the sister for several months, until Casey said she needed to take her back in case Social Services came looking." "Casey says that’s lies, all lies. In fact, she and her husband said on “Dr. Phil” that their whole family tells lies about them. So a pattern of isolation and distrust emerges. The Parsonses had severed ties with their own family, making it harder for relatives to monitor Erica’s treatment or location." "Erica was not missed by Social Services because, even though the family got a monthly assistance check for her care, the state only requires that a yearly notice be sent to the parents to determine the child’s status — without a visit from a social worker to verify the parents’ response."

Adoptive parents have told this much about these named people: Janice Jackson has red hair, is nicknamed strawberry if she exists and I believe she may because the biological mom said she lived with her before, Nan, Nana, Irene, Goodman may live in the area if she even exists. She was said to be a grandmother to Erica but that has been ruled out, even so, there is a half percent chance that she does exist. Kelly is a young girl with a baby and may be Janice's daughter. Nan supposedly drives an suv. All of this info could have been made up by Ericas adopted parents, but what if it isn't, maybe someone out here can help find these people so they can tell police it happened or didn't happen. who knows, this is worth a try. Be sure to take a look at the aged photo of Erica that someone drew up and Rowan County has put out today to see if you've seen anyone that looks like or may be Erica Parsons, aged 15.

She would not turn over any doctor records to confirm the pregnancy. She was going to her clinic and I was here in another state with my clinic. And she would not fax in the paperwork. That showed that the pregnancy has been terminated. So I -- when I exhausted myself sending e-mails, she had changed her phone numbers so I couldn`t get through. She sent me just horrible, horrible e-mails how I -- that I would never see her doctor records and that I needed to get a life. NANCY GRACE: Let`s go back through those e-mails. New York, could you put those back up, please? These are e-mails allegedly from Casey Parson`s to Stephanie. "My doctor records has nothing to do with your baby. They are my medical records. My OB/GYN told me there was nothing that would benefit you from them. I don`t understand why these are so important to you. I`m sorry, but I`m seeking to close this.

But what we could do, we could pay medical expenses, we could pay for her -- you know, the things that would -- you know, what would pertain to this pregnancy. Now what she wanted, OK, in the beginning, she wanted all of her funds to go directly to her church. They were building on a new wing. So we were just going to donate to her church on her behalf.

"Parsons also addressed several of the items taken by investigators in the last few weeks. He explained that the two knives in cling wrap taken from his home during a search earlier this month were his tools of the trade. Parsons worked for years as a butcher at Food Lion in Spencer and says it would not be unusual for a butcher to have wrapped knives.

Carolyn Parsons said she received updates from Casey Parsons through Facebook and believed her daughter was doing well."

Carolyn Parsons

(Excerpt from interview or article) - (www.wsoctv.com 08/29/13): Erica Parsons' biological mother explains why she gave daughter up "Biological mother Carolyn Parsons spoke with Eyewitness News about why Erica was raised by a former brother-in-law and his wife. "I had no steady home," Parsons said. "I had no job." She said she felt like their home was safe and even now she said she still would have given Erica Parsons away. She saw the girl for the first time since the adoption in January 2011, less than a year before she disappeared." "Eyewitness News asked Carolyn Parsons if it's at all possible that somebody tricked the couple, if that would be farfetched. "Nothing is farfetched," Carolyn Parsons said. "You see it every day. There are kids that are kidnapped in this manner every day." She said not checking in on Erica Parsons, seeing where she was staying, is inexcusable. "If I knew in January, what I've heard now, I would have been at Rowan County Courthouse fighting for my kid back," Carolyn Parsons said.
