LaFAYETTE, GA (AP) -- Authorities are investigating the sudden disappearance of a northwest Georgia 911 dispatcher.

Relatives of Theresa Parker contacted the Walker County sheriff's office on Saturday after growing concerned because they hadn't heard from Parker in several days. Parker, 41, was last heard from about 10 p.m. Wednesday when she talked on the phone with her sister, Sheriff Steve Wilson said.

Parker, who lives alone, talks with family members at least once a day, he said.

No one at the 911 dispatch center noticed her absence, Wilson said, because she was scheduled to be off work.

Wilson said officers are canvassing her neighborhood and interviewing family, friends and co-workers. So far, authorities have no clues why Parker disappeared, Wilson said.

The case is being investigated by the sheriff's office and by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation.
