Warden's wife, girls reunite

FORT SUPPLY, Okla. — The prison warden's wife who vanished with a convicted killer a decade ago returned to Oklahoma with her husband and was reunited Thursday with her daughters.

Randy Parker, now warden at the William S. Key Correctional Center at Fort Supply, and his wife, Bobbi Parker, returned home about 1 a.m., Department of Corrections spokesman Jerry Massie said. The Parkers' two daughters, who were 8 and 10 when Bobbi Parker disappeared in 1994, were at the warden's residence, Massie said.

Bobbi Parker disappeared with Randolph Dial from the Oklahoma State Reformatory, where her husband was an assistant warden.

Dial, 60, was arrested Monday in Texas, and authorities found Bobbi Parker, 42, shortly afterward.

Investigators think Dial kept Parker from escaping by threatening her family.

Bobbi Parker and her husband had a joyous reunion, a witness said.

Dial told reporters he abducted Parker at knifepoint in 1994 and brainwashed her into staying with him. He said their relationship was not romantic.

Martha Rash, who with her husband owns a chicken farm where Parker and Dial lived and worked, said Parker had plenty of chances to escape. But she said she thought Dial had convinced Parker that if she ran, he would have used his alleged Mafia ties to have members of her family killed.

An FBI spokesman said there were no plans to charge Parker.
