Parrack-Jodi-murder-victim-02CONSTANTINE, Mich. (April 21, 2014) — A Constantine man was arrested and arraigned over the weekend in the cold case investigation into the murder in 2007 of Jodi Parrack.

On November 8, 2007, Parrack’s body was found in a local cemetery after she disappeared while walking home from a friend’s house. She was 11 years old at the time.
