Dianne Parker

Victim, Paul Cadigan

BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- New information released Friday reveal disturbing details about the murder of a retired police officer who disappeared from his home in Palm Bay.

Paul Cadigan's dismembered body was discovered off a rural road in Osceola County on February 8. Friday, a Brevard County woman was jailed for his murder.

The victim died of multiple gunshot wounds and then was dismembered and scattered along at least two different rural roads in Osceola County.

Dianne Parker, 55, is accused of a crime fit for a horror movie. The Malabar woman is accused of murdering retired police officer Paul Cadigan and then using a hunting knife to dismember him, dumping the body parts at the end of a rural road in Osceola County (see map).

Cadigan disappeared on Super Bowl Sunday. Detectives in Osceola County tracked down who he met that day and were led to Dianne Parker's secluded home in Malabar on Weir Street.

Investigators from Osceola County wouldn't say what evidence they found there, but it was enough to lead them to believe the murder occurred somewhere on her property. They turned the case over to Brevard County sheriff's agents.

"They had some sort of relationship. We don't know if it was platonic, romantic, if it was a business relationship," said Lt. Nic DeSantis, Brevard County Sheriff's Office.

Eyewitness News learned the Malabar woman was a licensed masseuse, although investigators don't know if her work brought the couple together. Detectives still don't have a motive.

Investigators were making new discoveries all day. They located the victim's head Thursday night, one road over from where other remains were found. Investigators said they also searched Parker's home for knives, but could not say whether they found the instrument used in the attempt to dispose of the body.

Thursday, Eyewitness News reported that investigators were still looking for Cadigan's white Toyota Avalon. Authorities said, after investigators started talking with Parker, she told them the car was left at the Wal-Mart on Palm Bay Road and are searching the car for evidence.

Eyewitness News spoke to the victim's (I think they mean the killer's mom, not the victim's) 81-year-old mother in New York State early Friday evening. She said she hadn't talked to her daughter in a decade, because of a fight over the pigeons Parker allowed to fly freely in her Malabar home. (Pigeons loose in the house???)

Eyewitness News checked and Parker has no prior criminal history, but learned she had a Massachusetts mailing address in the 1990s, when the victim was a police officer in the same state.

The motive behind the slaying and beheading of a heroic former police officer may have been money.

The answers emerged following an autopsy that showed Paul Cadigan was shot at least six times.

Brevard County Sheriff's Office investigator Tod Goodyear said rage caused Dianne Parker to riddle Cadigan's body with bullets.

But convenience, Goodyear said, may have been why she cut of both of Cadigan's arms and legs from the 280-pound corpse.

Goodyear said she used the small paring and cooking knives from her kitchen to dismember the body. One of his legs was cut in two.
.....
Cadigan apparently owed Parker some money for massage services.

Authorities said when deputies arrived at her home with a search warrant, Parker said, "Arrest me and get it done. Obviously, it happened. Obviously, I'm here. This is profoundly horrid. I can't live with it; I don't want to live with it."

The idiot should have thought of all that before killing someone and freaking cutting up his body! Jeez M. Crow. An hour long massage costs about $50 in most of the country. Hell, she should have just held him at gunpoint at an ATM. Then she would have gotten her pay and he'd still be alive. She's still be in jail for robbery, but at least not on death row (which is where I'm sure she's heading, if she doesn't off herself with her shoelaces first).

ROCKLEDGE, Fla. -- The motive behind the slaying and beheading of a heroic former police officer may have been money.

Dianne Parker faces charges after confessing to the slaying of a former police officer.

The answers emerged following an autopsy that showed Paul Cadigan was shot at least six times.

Brevard County Sheriff's Office investigator Tod Goodyear said rage caused Dianne Parker to riddle Cadigan's body with bullets.

But convenience, Goodyear said, may have been why she cut of both of Cadigan's arms and legs from the 280-pound corpse.

Goodyear said she used the small paring and cooking knives from her kitchen to dismember the body. One of his legs was cut in two.

"Is it possible that she did the cutting so the body would be smaller and she could move it? That's a possibility," Goodyear said.

Cadigan apparently owed Parker some money for massage services.

"I can't live with it; I don't want to live with it."

Authorities said when deputies arrived at her home with a search warrant, Parker said, "Arrest me and get it done. Obviously, it happened. Obviously, I'm here. This is profoundly horrid. I can't live with it; I don't want to live with it."

"If I had to guess at what kind of motive might be there, that would be the strongest one for me. Something financial was going on between the two of them," Goodyear said.

Dianne Parker, 55

So basically there now saying, that she blamed him for her house going into to foreclosure. Yeah , I am sure it had nothing to do with her at all. How typical to blame others. Her web site is pretty interesting stuff though. To bad she didn't put all that energy into saving her home.

Investigators believe a Malabar massage therapist -- charged with shooting, dismembering and dumping the body of a former police officer who owed her money -- had a Web site dedicated to helping people get even with their enemies.

www.howtogetevenwithyourfavoriteperp.com,

Dianne Parker owned and operated the site according to a search warrant obtained by Brevard County Sheriff's detectives. It was part of their investigation into home computer files believed to contain e-mails, photos and other data about the site. The site, which was created in December 2007 and is still active, features a photo of a woman aiming a semiautomatic weapon on its banner.

Parker, 55, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder and mutilation of a dead human body after police said horseback riders in February found 62-year-old Robert Cadigan's headless, limbless torso, just off a dirt road in a wooded area west of Holopaw. Cadigan was a veteran of the Hingham, Mass., police department.

The "perp" Web site purports to offer helpful tips on "dealing with our perps in a healthy way or at least in a way that empowers us to move on" and stresses that it "is not a place to plan a crime" but to vent.

"Perps should not be allowed to do their damage and get away with it, leaving us as victims in their rampaging aftermath," the site reads.

"I would like to get my perps to make restitution and pay for their crimes against me . . . I would like to make them feel just like I did when they violated me and to make them experience the same pain and devastation I did. I would at least like to get even with them!"

An assistant said Parker's attorney, assistant public defender Mark Lanning, was unavailable Friday for comment.Cadigan had been reported missing by a female friend after failing to turn up seven days earlier for a date on Super Bowl Sunday, authorities said.

Parker is being held without bond at the Brevard County Detention Center.

Detectives said they linked the site to Parker through an e-mail address that is tied to her Malabar home address. Two friends also gave statements that Parker told them she kept a list of "perps" -- people she sought revenge on because they owed her money -- on her computer.

They also said Parker told them before Cadigan was reported missing that she hoped he would die a horrible death. Included in the search warrant are excerpts from a police report Parker filed last June outlining how she was facing because Cadigan, a frequent customer, had repeatedly refused to pay her and a fellow massage therapist.

Prosecutors said they are still evaluating investigative materials from the Brevard and Osceola counties sheriff's offices and other law enforcement agencies. A hearing is set for late September.

"There's a massive amount of material" to review, State Attorney's Office spokeswoman Lynne Bumpus-Hooper said.

Not really, If you ever have to cut up a bunch of meat, the big knife gets dull fast and you need a smaller knife to get into thoughs hard to reach places. She probly didn't own a cleaver, it would have made the job much easier. Not that I have allot of experience chopping up 300lbs body's. or any human body's for that matter .

lol taz....I have no problem with dressing a deer but my God,.......Gruesome.

ewe, uh fuck

**Valasca** · July 3rd, 2009, 09:47 PM

I did wonder if it was THE Dianne Parker from Price is Right.
Um NO!

**eliz1bef** · July 4th, 2009, 12:53 AM

She sounds like she's pretty remorseful. She didn't think her cunning plan all of the way through. It takes a special kind of person to be able to dismember a body without being affected by it, and it sounds like her crime is gnawing away at her.

I wonder if eating a pork steak will ever be the same for her. Maybe she'll become a vegetarian in jail or something.

This guy sounds like a heel, but not anyone deserving of a dismemberment. Why did they keep giving him massages if he wouldn't pay up? She could have taken him to small claims court.

I'd like to see her decision flow chart explaining how murder and abuse of a corpse was going to restore her self esteem and property more easily than any other option. Her persecution complex seems pretty massive. Why does vengeance always have to include semiautomatic machinery or a carving knife?

Well, first what you've got to do is leave it the tub just long enough for the skin to start sloughing off, but not long enough to be completely rank. That's the tricky part.
Above all, Do NOT flush it down your own toilet! Take it to a flowing body of water, not a canal, but a river or lake. The ocean would be ideal.
The bones need to be dried out and then pulverized with a sledgehammer. Leave them to be dust. No fragments. Make SURE you pulverize the teeth.

... Not that I have ever PLANNED to kill someone.

Now you are scaring me.......

**Valasca** · July 4th, 2009, 01:09 PM

But why?
I'm a nice person, just don't lie to me, steal from me, and leave me. Yeah, there's a story behind that.

Malabar woman accused of killing a former Massachusetts police officer at her massage parlor and dismembering his body isn't competent to stand trial, a court decided.

Dianne Parker, 57, was examined by Dr. Howard Bernstein, a court-appointed doctor.

"According to the law, a criminal defendant has to be able to understand what he or she is charged with and the significance of a possible sentence," prosecutor Rob Parker said. "Based on her emotional and mental maladies, she has to be stabilized on psychotropic medications."

Parker is expected to be treated at Florida State Hospital near Tallahassee and will face a judge again in December. The woman was charged with first-degree premeditated murder and abuse of a dead body.
[...]

Parker owned homing pigeons and had been known as the "Pigeon Lady of Malabar."
