Parlier’s body is believed to be in Newton Township, just south of Battle Creek, though even with Haulman's help, detectives have not been able to find her remains.
In Pennsylvania, Haulman confessed to killing two women, Tianna Phillips in 2018 and Erica Schultz in 2020.

Haulman was sentenced to life in prison for the murders of the two Pennsylvania women, and will ultimately be returned to Pennsylvania after a preliminary exam in Michigan in February.
