### Classification

Presumed homicide

**Andrea Gail Parsons** was a 10-year-old girl who disappeared from Florida in 1993. Foul play is suspected in her case. Her age progression depicts her at 28 years old.

## Case

Andrea was last seen near her family's residence around 6:00 p.m. on July 11, 1993. She was permitted to walk to a friend's house on Flounder Avenue, and two witnesses reported seeing her walking toward Port Salerno Grocery Store on Salerno Road soon after. An employee at the store stated that Andrea bought candy and potato chips. On her way home from the store, she waved at some people she knew who drove past. She never arrived at her friend's house.

Her mother realized she was missing at 10:10 p.m. when she arrived home from work. She searched the neighborhood, but did not find Andrea, and reported her missing at 11 p.m. that night.

A man named Claude Davis reported seeing Andrea being pushed into a four-door maroon Oldsmobile by four or five Hispanic men. He then changed his story and claimed that Andrea died accidentally while helping him collect cans to recycle. He stated that he panicked and put her body in a dumpster.

Davis was subsequently arrested for false imprisonment, but the charges were dropped due to lack of evidence. He later reverted to his original story of seeing Andrea get abducted by a group of men.

In December 1993, investigators searched a landfill in Martin County, Florida, but did not find Andrea’s remains. In April 1994, Davis' porch was burned down. Davis, who was on probation for an unrelated charge, claimed that the arsonist was someone who believed he was involved in Andrea’s disappearance.

Chester Duane Price was charged with Andrea's abduction and murder in November 2012. The case against him relied on Davis' testimony. Davis claimed that he and Price had abducted Andrea after she asked for a ride, but that Andrea bit Price's hand in an attempt to escape, and Price murdered her. He further stated that they buried her the next day in a remote area near State Route 710.

Because Davis had been charged with false imprisonment in 1993, he could not be prosecuted for his confessed role in Andrea's murder, as this would violate his right to a speedy trial.

Davis died suddenly in the summer of 2013. Since Davis could no longer testify, the case against Price was seriously damaged, and the prosecution offered him a plea deal. In 2014, Price pleaded no contest to manslaughter and kidnapping a child under 13, for which he was sentenced to ten years. He was released in 2017 after serving only three years but was immediately put in civil custody under the Ryce Act, which allows violent sexual offenders to be held involuntarily to undergo treatment after being released from prison. In February 2020, Price agreed to be held indefinitely at the Florida Civil Commitment Center to receive treatment.
