SELLEST OSAST
On Monday, June 2, 1969, an electrical crew was dispatched in Baltimore City to fix two lights that had burned out on the water fountain in Druid Hill Park, located in Baltimore. One of the electricians had to climb a ladder to access the top fountain when he made a shocking and gruesome discovery — a decomposed body that was faced down in two feet deep water, still dressed in clothing. The body had reached a significant amount of decomposition so it was unclear, at the moment, what happened and how this person ended up in the fountain — located 380 feet from shore.
The body was identified to be of Shirley Lee Wigeon Parker, a 35 year old woman who was reported missing five weeks prior. Sadly, her search came to a haunting and devastating end. Though her body was found, there was an identity match, but what exactly happened, how she ended up there, and why, are all questions that are unfound — leaving the family of Shirley and the Baltimore area riddled with nearly 60 years of unanswered questions.
We’re going to look at the who Shirley was, details of Shirley’s last moments on record, a recap of events from someone close to her and possibly the last to see her alive, possibilities of how this could have happened, and close with my opinion.
