Michelle Parker Video Released By Police; Mother Went Missing After 'People's Court' Appearance (VIDEO)

Police have released video footage of mother Michelle Parker taken on the day she went missing.

The video shows Parker on Nov. 17 at a KFC restaurant in Casselberry, Fla., three hours before she dropped her kids off at the house of her ex-fiance Dale Smith, a suspect in the disappearance.

Though police say the video has already been scrutinized for clues into Parker's possible whereabouts, they released the video on her 34th birthday to keep her name in the headlines as the search for the mother of three continues.

Last Friday, Parker's family celebrated her birthday in Orlando.

Brad Parker, Michelle's father, told WKMG he's hopeful his daughter will be found.

"I hope we find Michelle, it'd be a good birthday present," Parker told the station. "Every time the phone rings, I think she's coming home or they found her."

Parker was last seen by Smith on the day an episode of the "People's Court" aired in which Parker and Smith argued about an engagement ring she lost.

Orlando police, made Smith the only suspect in the case, saying he had been violent towards her in the past.

CORRECTION A previous version of this story misidentified Dale Smith as Michelle Parker's ex-husband.

She is very pretty and hopefully some sicko didn't do anything to herif some sicko did do something to her they need to kill him. Why should tax payers have to pay for someone to live in prison for the rest of his life when he didn't care about someone elses lifeand this comes from someone thats been to prison 3 times for petty crimes.

Tax payers pay more to execute someone than to house them in prison for the rest of their lives. FACT. Jesus.....

I hope she is found alive, but don't think their is much chance with the time thats gone by. Just sad, that another mother is probably dead over something so minor and/or stupid. Just don't get it. What could be so bad about this wooman that it means she needs to dissapear?

my guess is Dale was`nt paying child support while they were together,And then she might have said something about him having to pay it when they broke up.Irresponsible men go nuts at the mention of child support!

Someone's daughter and mother are missing. Some of the comments here are just heartless. Really? Would you want someone making snide jokes if it was your mother or daughter? Life has a way of coming back answering that question for you. A little compassion goes a long way. My sincere thoughts and prayers to the family

The suspect is either her ex-husband or a perfect stranger. #MichelleParker #PeoplesCourt

She was last seen in KFC?

Scary, because I've always seen my own last hours spent hovering over a bucket of their extra crispy...

This doesn't look good, they have no clue to her whereabouts.

No they don't. They are just blowing smoke, to make it seem like they are doing everything that they can.

Just curious: What was the decision in the "People's Court" case?

[ywcachieve]

04:30 PM on 01/23/2012

He was asking for $5,000. The judge ordered her to pay $2,500.

05:45 PM on 01/23/2012

I guess she didn't have time to write the guy a check ...

[Fenrir Lokison]

05:52 PM on 01/23/2012

Yep. Split cost.

She was the one who threw the ring at him and caused it to be lost. But, then, if I remember correctly he was half responsible since Florida has no clear laws on who gets the ring.

As a side note this is my thought...Whoever buys the right, the rings go back to that person if the marriage does not take place and I think that should be universal.

It is possible.. now here me out.. that she was in contact with authorities ahead of time, that she feared for her life, they made it look like plans went through she is gone, then wait for prime suspect to slip up." Wouldn't that be wonderful.. that this was planned to protect her?

It is also possible, now hear me out, that the moon is made of cheese. Really?!!! That makes zero sense on so many levels that I must now take a nap to revive my faith in humanity

Many people (now a days) don't bother to get married, have illegitimate kids, and everyting is "alleged " in crime reporting. Typically it is the mothers that mysteriosly disappears. What is this world coming to?!

[Dietcokefreak]

Well you have to say "alleged" until a person is actually convicted of the crime. Otherwise it's libelous, slanderous and if a DA or news media said they "did" it, they would never get a fair trial. Or course, 1 bullet, approx 34-35 cents, would cure most criminals if properly placed.
