Christina Denise "Christie" Outz Parker, a 33-year-old woman from Charlotte, North Carolina, was born on September 13, 1970, in Mecklenburg County. She passed away on January 5, 2004. Christie was a loving and adorable person, remembered fondly by her family and friends. She graduated from Piedmont High School in Monroe and was survived by her son, Randall Parker, and other family members.
Christie's death was part of a tragic series of events involving a Union County man named Scott
Wilson Williams. Williams was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without parole for the deaths of three Charlotte-area women, including Christina Outz Parker. The other victims were Sharon House Pressley, who was killed in 1997, and Sharon Tucker Stone, who was killed in 2006. Williams entered an Alford plea, acknowledging that the state had enough evidence to convict him while maintaining his innocence.
The investigation revealed that Williams had a history of violent crimes, including first-degree murder, rape, and kidnapping. He was known to have a fetish for torture and mutilation, and his victims were often found with their bodies dismembered and dumped near rural roads. The evidence against Williams included DNA and ballistics from weapons found on his property, as well as statements from surviving victims.
Union County Sheriff Eddie Cathey stated that Williams and his victims were connected through a high-risk lifestyle, which included drug convictions and other criminal activities. Despite the gruesome nature of the case, the resolution in court was relatively low-key, with fewer than two dozen family and friends of the victims and Williams attending the proceedings.
Christina Denise "Christie" Outz Parker's death was a tragic loss for her family and community. Her memory lives on through the love and support of those who knew her.
