Hello everyone and welcome to Usual Disclaimer with Eleanor Neal, a true crime podcast where we crack

open some of the most notorious cases in history. Given the topics that we'll be investigating,

it goes without saying that this show comes with a content warning.

The details can get a bit heavy and you might find some of the themes we discuss triggering.

Today we're going to be talking about the murder of Ross Parker.

Quickly before I get into this, I just want to give my usual disclaimer, but I mean absolutely no disrespect to anyone that I talk about in this video.

This is all just information that I have found on the internet and I'm compiling into one video.

So Ross Andrew Parker was a 17 year old boy born on August 17th, 1984 in Peterborough in England.

He was one of two children to Tony and Davina Parker and he also had a girlfriend named Nicola.

Ross loved football, he loved playing it, he loved watching it and that was something that he shared

with his dad as well.

That was quite a big bonding point for them too.

They supported the same team, they'd always watch the games together.

He was halfway to get in a qualification in business studies and when he turned 18 he wanted to become part of the police force.

During his time at school, Ross actually earned himself the nickname Half Pine because of his size.

He was only 5'5 at 17 years old, which is a little bit shorter than the average male, and so all his friends called him Half Pine.

Ross worked part-time as a barman at a local pub called The Solstice, which is actually where he met his girlfriend, Nicola.

So in the early hours of Friday the 21st of September is actually where he met his girlfriend Nicola. So in the early

hours of Friday the 21st of September 2001 Ross and Nicola were both working at the pub.

Both of their shifts ended at 1 a.m. that morning and so they decided that they were both

going to walk to Nicola's friend's house together because she was having a bit of a get-together.
