USC football Saturdays are big in the south and particularly big here in Colombia. Basketball team has done well.
00:00:14
The baseball team has won two national championships and sports does play a big role here in the Midlands.
00:00:24
Brett Parker was a big sports guy. Come on, Brett. Drive him now. Come on. baseball, football, basketball. He
00:00:31
played all three sports in high school. He was a super baseball player. [Applause]
00:00:39
Brett Parker worked for a medical sales company and um we learned that he was a sports
00:00:45
bookie. [Applause] Brett's father's a bookie as well. If I wanted to place a bet in Columbia, South
00:00:53
Carolina, would it be hard for me to find a bookie to take the bet? Probably not.
00:00:57
[Applause] Tammy Joe Parker was the bread winner of the family. She was an excellent
00:01:04
employee uh through a pharmaceutical company. We're going to do just a couple songs for you while you're finishing up
00:01:09
eating. She was also a [Music] musician. She was so talented. She doted on her children. Want a piece
00:01:25
of me? Yeah. Um two lovely children. Um a marriage that had lasted 16 years. On uh April the 13th, 2012, Brett
00:01:37
Parker called 911 saying that his um wife had been shot by an acquaintance, somebody that
00:01:44
he identified as Brian Kappenhurst. And what is your emergency? Somebody shot my
00:01:49
wife. What happened? Who shot your wife? A friend of mine, Brian. Brian actually worked for him. And that
00:01:59
he had been forced to attempt to open his safe by Brian Kenhurst in his home in an apparent robbery attempt. Is he
00:02:06
still there? I shot him. I think I killed him. I think he killed his wife. I couldn't protect my wife. They're both
00:02:15
dead. We have a law in place. You have a right to to use deadly force if you think your life is in in danger. We took
00:02:23
Brett Parker's story at face value. And we began to investigate. Investigators are still trying to put
00:02:30
together the pieces to this puzzle. I actually speak for the dead. I'm their last doctor that they see. I
00:02:39
find out whether or not that story that I was told fits my autopsy findings. And
00:02:45
did that story that you were told fit your autopsy findings? It did not. It just didn't make any sense to me.
00:02:52
I've never seen a case with this type of coldhearted premeditation. You had lots of money, high stakes
00:03:00
bookies, and gambling. You had sex and you had murder. This was the OJ Simpson case of
00:03:08
Columbia.
