Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP13054) and 8 other sources
Michelle Parker, a 33-year-old mother of three, disappeared on November 17, 2011, after dropping off her twins at her ex-fiance Dale Smith Jr.'s home in Geneva, Florida. That same day, an episode of *The People’s Court* aired, featuring Parker and Smith in a dispute over a lost engagement ring. Parker's family last heard from her that afternoon when she sent a brief, uncharacteristic text message to her brother, saying she was in "Waterford," an area in Orlando.

Parker never arrived for her evening shift as a bartender, and her phone last pinged in an area near Belle Isle, seven miles from where she was last seen. Her black Hummer was found abandoned the next day with its decals removed. In the weeks following her disappearance, her cell phone was located in a lake, further heightening concerns of foul play.

While Parker's ex-fiance, Smith, was named as the primary suspect, he has not been charged and maintains his innocence. The case remains unsolved, and her family continues to advocate for answers and justice in her disappearance.
