Michelle Parker is the mother of three children, an 11-year-old son from a prior relationship and three-year-old twins born during her relationship with her ex, Dale Smith. She was last seen dropping the children off at Smith’s home on Thursday, November 17, 2011.
An official Facebook page has been started to help find Michelle: Michelle Parker Missing Person . At this time, Smith has not been declared a person of interest or suspect in Parker’s disappearance. Both Smith and Parker made statements they were upset following the taping of the show. Smith made them to the court reporter after taping and Michelle Parker described the experience as “humiliating” to her mother (see video report to left).
Michelle Parker’s mother, Yvonne Stewart released a public statement saying, “This isn`t a wallet. This isn`t just a purse. This is my baby girl. We need to find her, and we need help.”
Authorities found Michelle Parker’s car in one area of Orlando and traced her iPhone through pings to a different location, approximately seven miles away. That area is now the command center: Oakland Road in Orlando, Florida. The pair appeared on the People’s Court to settle a dispute regarding Parker’s engagement ring. Michelle Parker threw the ring off a balcony due to arguments with Smith. The two had a tumultuous relationship, and Michelle Parker had previously filed a restraining order against Smith.
Volunteers from Texas Equusearch, the non-profit organization that helped search for Caylee Anthony, has joined the search’s efforts.
Yvonne Stewart has suggested that Michelle Parker may have been the victim of a random crime. No suspects have been named in the case and authorities say they have every reason to believe that Michelle Parker is alive.
“If anybody has her and are holding her hostage, please let her go. Let her come home so she can raise her babies,” Yvonne Stewart pleaded in a media appeal.
