Sarafia Monnetta Parker, a 29-year-old African American woman, was found dead on October 14, 1989, in a field in Temple, Texas. Her body showed signs of severe trauma; reports say she had been beaten and strangled before being left in the tall grass. Parker was last seen alive in the cab of a pickup truck driven by Kenneth McDuff.

Investigators suspected McDuff in her killing based on his presence in the area and his pattern of targeting vulnerable women, but he was never formally charged in Parker’s death. McDuff had been paroled earlier in 1989 despite previous convictions, a decision that later drew criticism. Parker’s death remains one of the killings attributed to McDuff during his post-parole crime spree; no trial or conviction in her case was conducted.

Did anyone know Sarafia Parker or have information that could shed light on her final movements?
