Darryl Parkins was the absent father of Craig Tinker and the husband of Beth Sutherland. In September 2016 Darryl and Craig met for the first time, but shortly after Craig's 18th birthday.
A career criminal, He was initially imprisoned for a bank job after his wife Beth Tinker shopped him to the police. He later found it difficult to find legitimate work so continued to break the law to fend for himself. Beth gave birth to their son Craig in September 1998, however Darryl would remain absent and continue ending up in and out of prison for the next eighteen years.
Craig first learned that his father was a criminal when he applied to join the Special Constabulary in 2016 but got turned down because of his father's past.
