While investigating the deaths of Parker's wife, Tammy Jo Parker, and business partner, Bryan Capnerhurst, investigators uncovered Parker's sports betting operation as well as another gambling business in the Midlands. 

Both Tammy Parker and Bryan Capnerhurst were found dead in the Parker's Ascot Estates home on April 13, 2012. 

Lasty year, prosecutors said Parker killed his wife to collect more than $1 million in insurance money to pay off about $600,000 in debt.

Parker, however, told Richland County Sheriff's detectives that Capnerhurst shot his wife and then he shot Capnherhurst in self-defense.
