(#12) April Ludgate Was Abused By Her Parents
Fan theories aren't all fun and games. Sometimes they're kind of dark. One somber fan theory suggests that April's personality has to do with the fact that she and her sister were abused by their parents as children. This explains why April and her sister are agoraphobic, cruel, and manipulative. It's why April married a man completely unlike her within months of meeting him and why April's sister had Andy arrested when he picked her up from work, basically saying he was a pervert. It’s also important to note that no one walked April down the aisle when she got married, proving a less-than-stellar relationship with her dad.

(#11) Mark Is Dead
Mark Brendanawicz left Parks and Rec at the end of the Season 2 when he decided to work for a private contractor instead of the local government. His absence throughout subsequent seasons led one fan to come to the conclusion that he must've died somewhere between Seasons 2 and 3. The theory suggests that, after Ann dumped him, he became so severely depressed that he killed himself. The other characters never brought it up because the show is technically a documentary, and they didn't want to mention his suicide out of respect.

(#9) Ron Swanson Is April Ludgate's Real Father
We all know Ron Swanson is April Ludgate's mentor, but what if Ron Swanson was actually April's father? Their personalities are extraordinarily similar, and April knows Ron's biggest secret – he moonlights as Duke Silver, a sax player at an Eagleton bar. She only knows this because her mom has his albums. One fan theory suggests that April's mom had a one-night stand with a local sax player after one of his gigs. That man was Ron Swanson. Some could argue that April's younger sister disproves this theory, but you never know.
