Marion Parker poses for a photograph in a field of wild grass. 12-year-old Marion was released from school to Perry M. Parker, who told the school that her father had been injured. Hickman kept her hostage in his apartment, demanded ransom and killed Parker because she could identify him. He then mutilated her body. Hickman was tracked down in Washington after spending some of the marked bills he had taken from Perry Parker as ransom money. Text from negative sleeve: Hickman, William Edward
