​Honoring Nicole
Nicole Parker, an 8-year-old Tarzana, California girl, disappeared on November 20, 1993, while playing with a softball and glove outside her father's Woodland Hills apartment. Her body was discovered stuffed in a suitcase in the bedroom closet of a neighbor's apartment across the courtyard.
Nicole's killer, age 23, was found guilty of sexually molesting and murdering Nicole and was sentenced to death. He now awaits his sentence at San Quentin Prison. Detective Joel Price of the LAPD, investigated the case and was critical in obtaining this conviction and was a founding member of the Nicole Parker Foundation for Children in 1994.
In 2006, the Joel Price Law Enforcement Fund was created to honor Detective Price and support local law enforcement working for justice for our youngest and most vulnerable victims.
