Officers responded to a house after a co-worker went to check on the woman because she failed to show up for work. The co-worker found the woman’s body and called 911.

Once inside, they found Parrish suffering from multiple stab wounds.

Sgt. Cortice Miles says her 2017 Nissan Versa and a flat screen television were missing from the victim’s home. Parrish’s vehicle was found in Fairfield two days later.
