Guilty Guilty Guilty....

September 19th, 2018 at approximately 7:30 pm a jury made of Brian Gene Parks’ peers returned a verdict of Guilty on 5 counts. 

Those counts were 1st degree Murder, Assault 1st degree, Unlawful Possession of a firearm and two counts of Armed Criminal Action. He is currently being held with no bond pending the sentencing hearing.

On November 28th, 2016 our community was turned upside down by the actions of one person who made the decision to take the life of Tammy L. Christiansen for no apparent reason. 

That individual then made the choice to attempt to take another person, Sylvester Harbour’s life but failed. Brian Gene Parks was arrested that day fleeing the scene with two firearms one of which had been used to end the life of an innocent person and forever alter the life of 2 families.

The Harrisonville Police Department would like to say thank you to the Missouri State Highway Patrol for all the work they provided, everyone who contacted us with information and thank you to the Cass County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for all the hard work they put into this case which ultimately led to the conviction of Brian for these horrendous crimes.

When her children were grown, Mabel went to work with her husband at the Drexel Schools as a janitor.
