    Michelle Parker missing: Her youngest children don't know she's disappeared



    A day after missing Michelle Parker's youngest children were returned to their father by court-order, her mother gave insight into the family's brief reunion.

    Earlier this week the Department of Children and families removed Parker's twin toddlers from their father Dale Smith II's care and placed them in protective custody shortly after he was named a suspect in the 33-year-old's disappearance earlier this month.

    The 3-year-old twins — a boy and a girl — were placed with their grandmother, Yvonne Stewart, who has helped care for the children since they were born.

    Despite a lengthy criminal history and documented violence between Parker and her ex-fiance, an Orange County Circuit judge ruled Wednesday that the children were not in imminent danger by being in Smith's custody and ordered the children be reunited with their father.

    Stewart took care of the twins for nearly 24 hours and said Thursday the children seemed healthy and happy.

    However, before reuniting with the children, Parker's family took care to remove missing person posters and T-shirts with Parker's face on them. When the children asked for their mother, Stewart told them she was at work.

    "It breaks my heart," she said.

    The children have lived with Stewart and her family on-and-off for most of their lives and have bedrooms at her home. They wanted French fries and chocolate milk, so the family took them to McDonald's.

    Once home, the twins played with their new Chihuahua puppy their mother bought for them recently and then got ready for bed.

    The next day they were returned to their father, whom they are not accustomed to spending so much time with, Stewart said.

    "It was heart wrenching because they were happy to be with us. I really know Michelle would want them to be with us," Stewart said. "I think we are going to work out some amicable grandma visit time."

    Also Thursday, the founder of search-and-rescue group Texas EquuSearch arrived in Orlando to begin aiding in the search Parker at the request of the prime suspect.

    Tim Miller planned to meet with his one-time lawyer Mark NeJame, who is also representing Smith, and requested to meet with Orlando homicide detectives who are conducting the investigation into the 33-year-old's disappearance, he said.

    A police spokesman said detectives do not plan on meeting with Miller.

    Earlier this week attorney NeJame said his client asked for Miller's help after Smith, 40, was named the prime suspect in Parker's disappearance. Smith has not been charged.

    Miller and his search group came to Florida twice in 2008 to look for missing Caylee Marie Anthony, whose remains were found by a utility worker in December of that year.

    Searchers from the Orange County Sheriff's deputies and EquuSearch volunteers resumed their search of Lake Ellenor, off Oak Ridge Road near Orange Blossom Trail, Thursday. Parker's iPhone last 'pinged' in the general vicinity on Nov. 17, the day she vanished.

    Police declined to say what, if anything, was recovered.

    Parker was last seen dropping off the twins with Smith at his home on South Semoran Boulevard around 3:15 p.m. Nov. 17. A message sent from her phone around 4:30 p.m. that day said she planned to go to the Waterford Lakes area. Her family became worried when she failed to show up for work at The Barn in Sanford that night.

    Police found her Hummer abandoned the following day at an apartment complex in southwest Orlando.

    The Orlando Sentinel hosted an on-line chat with more than 300 people Thursday. Members of the public posted questions about the investigation and gave their theories about how Parker may have disappeared.

    Anyone with information about Parker's disappearance is asked to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

    Timeline surrounding Michelle Parker’s disappearance

    Below is a timeline of events that is based on reports and press conferences of the days surrounding Florida mom Michelle Parker’s disappearance:

    Thursday, November 17

    Morning: Michelle’s new boyfriend, Nathan Mitchell, told WKMG that he had coffee in the morning with Michelle. She never talked to Mitchell about Smith.

    2 p.m.: The People's Court episode with Michelle and Smith seeking resolution on a lost engagement ring aired on national TV (some reports say the show aired at 11 a.m.) It is not known if Michelle watched the show. Her mother said Michelle told her she was humiliated by the show and didn’t plan to watch it.

    2:30 p.m.: Michelle reportedly stopped by the Strandz Salon located at 1323 W Broadway St. in Oviedo , Florida, which is owned by her mother, Yvonne Stewart.

    Michelle was then reportedly scheduled to pick her 3-year-old twins up from daycare to take them to their father’s house in the Carter Glen Townhomes on Goldenrod Road. It was reported she planned to then go home, take a nap, meet her new boyfriend for dinner, and then work at The Barn at 8 p.m.

    The distance between the Strandz Salon and Smith’s condo on Goldenrod is about 11 miles.

    3:15 p.m.: New boyfriend, Nathan Mitchell, said he talked to and texted Michelle several times Thursday, the last time being 3:15 p.m. (WKMG reports).

    He said when he texted her again he got no response.

    Mitchell said Michelle had texted him a song that came on the radio that she was thinking about him.

    He replied back with a smiley face and heart.

    Question: Did Smith see Mitchell's text on Michelle's phone?

    3:15 p.m.: Surveillance video on an east Orange County neighborhood at the Carter Glen Apartments captures Michelle driving to Smith’s home to drop off twins – according to early news reports, the couple appeared on The People’s Court show moments earlier. Some news reports say hours earlier. This could be due to time zone differences.

    3:30 p.m.: 11-year-old son comes home from school, contacts grandmother, Yvonne Stewart, because Michelle is not home.

    4:00 p.m.: Reportedly last seen by Dale Smith when Michelle reportedly dropped the twins off at his condo.

    4:26 p.m.: Michelle’s brother, Dustin Erickson, sent Michelle a text asking where she was (presumably since her 11-year-old son said she wasn't home.)

    He received an unusual text from Michelle that said only "Waterford" which led him to believe she meant she was in the Waterford Lakes area.

    However, police later said her phone never pinged in that area.

    Family say the text was uncharacteristic of the way Michelle usually sends texts. Her mother said she thought it was a decoy.

    7:30 to 8 p.m.: (Both times reported) - Michelle didn't show up for work at The Barn in Sanford. She is responsible, her family said, and has never not gone to work without calling.

    After 8 p.m.: The Daily Mail reports Michelle was reported missing after she missed her shift at The Barn Restaurant.

    8 p.m.: Michelle’s iPhone 'pinged' in the area of Oakridge Road near Belle Isle, more than seven miles from where she was last seen. Her phone was powered down in that area and has not been recovered.

    Friday, November 18

    10:30 a.m.: Eyewitness finds Michelle's black H3 Hummer in the parking lot of Walden Palms Apartments, 4700 Walden Circle.

    Decals for her Glow mobile-tanning business had been removed from the windows. Trail goes cold from there.

    Note: A best effort was made to provide as accurate of a timeline as possible, given the information available. If anyone has information to add to the timeline please email the information with supportive links to isabelle@seattleheadlinesexaminer.com.

    Michelle's disappearance

    Michelle Parker, 33, went missing Thur., Nov. 17, 2011. Her Hummer was seen on surveillance video at 3:18 p.m. in an east Orange County neighborhood, driving to her ex-fiancé, Dale Wayne Smith II’s home to drop off their 3-year-old twins.

    Michelle is described as a white female with short brown hair. She is 5’6” tall and was last seen wearing blue jeans, a Florida Gator’s zip-up hoodie, and a silver cross necklace.

    Several hours before Michelle arrived at Dale’s house, the two had appeared in a previously taped episode of The People’s Court. The show centered on who would be responsible to pay for a $5,000 engagement ring that Michelle admittedly threw at Dale at a hotel, and that went over a balcony.

    According to a Facebook page created to provide updates and support in Michelle’s case, she was officially last seen around 4 p.m. at the intersection of Goldenrod and Leevista in the Carter Glen Townhomes near Orlando Florida. Her last text was at 4:26 p.m. on Nov. 17, and said “Waterford.” The text was in response to her brother asking what she was up to.

    By 8 p.m. Michelle’s iPhone pinged in the area of Oakridge Road near Belle Isle, more than seven miles from where she was last seen. Her phone was powered down in that area and has not been recovered.

    The next day police found her black H3 Hummer license plate AWG-M26 in the parking lot of Walden Palms Apartments, 4700 Walden Circle, The Orlando Sentinel reports. Decals for her Glow mobile-tanning business had been removed from the windows. From there the trail went cold.

    A $5,000 reward is being offered in the case.

    Police are urging anyone with information about the case to call Crimeline at 1-800-423-8477.

    Interesting. Think we can all guess what happened here. With the media attention this is getting, it's a good bet that sci-fi boy will end up on Florida's DR.

    'People's Court' Missing Mom: New Video Emerges of Michelle Parker

    Police have released never-before-seen footage of missing mother Michelle Parker picking up food at the drive-through of a fast food chain hours before she was last seen in Orlando, Fla.

    Parker has been missing since Nov. 17, the day an episode of "The People's Court" aired that exposed the tumultuous relationship between her and her ex-fiance Dale Smith Jr., the father of her two children.

    Police released the video on Parker's 34th birthday to keep the case in the public eye. One of the 750 tips received so far led police to the video.

    The video shows Parker going through a KFC drive through in Casselberry, Fla. three hours before she dropped off her 3-year-old twins at Smith Jr.'s home, the last place she was seen.

    Police say the video did not give them any new information.

    "It's nothing new as far as what she was wearing, the vehicle. That was put out immediately," said Sgt. Vince Ogburn of the Orlando Police Department, according to ABC News affiliate WFTV.

    Parker's family celebrated her birthday at a restaurant.

    "We've gone through Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and we had a goal she'd be with us, and she's not," said Gayle Parker, Michelle Parker's stepmother.

    In late November, a judge ruled that Smith Jr. should get custody of twins that he had with Parker.

    The children had been taken away from Smith after police said he was the prime suspect in Parker's disappearance.

    Parker's parents said they were "disappointed" with child custody ruling and worried about the 3-year-old twins being in an "unfamiliar environment" since they have spent their whole lives living with Parker in her parents' home.

    But despite the battle over the children, Parker's mother Yvonne Stewart hugged Smith outside the courtroom, even though he is the only suspect in her daughter's disappearance.

    Family: Police putting together new panel in Michelle Parker disappearance

    ORLANDO -- Family members of missing Central Florida mother Michelle Parker said law enforcement is putting together a new team to look into her case.

    Parker hasn't been seen since November when she disappeared, hours after appearing on a taped episode of the People's Court.

    A posting on the family's Facebook page said police will be putting together a special panel to try and get some new leads on the case.

    Details on what exactly the group will focus on have not yet been announced.

    I hope they find her soon. In february they searched unsuccesful a lake. It must be horrible for their family, especialy the kids.
    No murder can be so cruel that there are not still useful imbeciles who do gloss over the murderer and apologize.
