Sparks is currently charged with of abuse of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence. He initially told authorities that he fell asleep the night Spurlock vanished. He claimed the woman was gone when he woke up.
Another neighbor said two other men were with Sparks when they returned to his home, along with a reported inebriated Spurlock. The neighbor told the outlet that the two other men “took advantage” of Spurlock then left the home, leaving her alone with Sparks.
“Sparks is the sort of guy that if you don’t do what he wants he gets mad, he loses it. They all took advantage of a drunk girl that night and then the other two left her alone with Sparks.”
The same neighbor also reportedly claimed that the men recorded the incident on their cellphone, then showed the video to people at work.
“They took cell phone video of her. The guys were showing it around at work. She was so drunk she couldn’t speak, it was like she couldn’t speak English.”
