Graduation
In 2002, Crystal graduated from college with her degree. A year later, Detective Terrance Parker was assigned her case as one of the 48 cold cases that were actively being investigated by the Baltimore Police Department.
Deafening Silence
According to Detective Parker, it was very unusual to not receive any information at all in a case like this. Typically one or two people would come forward with a sighting, but the silence on Crystal’s whereabouts was deafening. Therefore, Parker decided to go back and start at the beginning.
