## Resource

A 51-year-old man, Maurice Parms, faces murder charges after a 15-year-old boy, JaDerrius Minnieweather, vanished and was later declared dead — though his body remains missing. The case began with a violent confrontation allegedly sparked by Minnieweather’s objection to Parms’ inappropriate behavior toward a 16-year-old friend. Witnesses described a brutal assault, bloodstains at the scene, and Parms cleaning his truck — later found with blood traces. Surveillance footage shows a man matching Parms’ build ditching a mask, gloves, and shirt on a child’s bike — then retrieving them. Investigators suspect he disposed of the body and tried to cover his tracks. Ironically, just two weeks before the murder charge, Parms was already under investigation for indecent behavior with minors and computer-aided solicitation — evidence uncovered during the initial probe into Minnieweather’s disappearance.
