Woman Goes Missing After 'The People's Court' Episode Airs

Authorities are continuing to search for a missing Orlando mom who
vanished last week following the airing of "The People's Court" episode
she appeared on.

Michelle Parker disappeared Thursday afternoon, the same day a
previously taped episode of the court show aired featuring her and her
ex-fiancée, Dale Smith.

The couple appeared in court to settle over a $5,000 engagement ring.

Parker was last seen dropping off the couple's twins at Smith's home.

Her abandoned truck was found a day later.

Police gathered items from Smith's home and searched the nearby woods,
but have not gone so far as to call him a suspect or a person of
interest.

Parker's parents said they don't think that Smith is not involved in
their daughter's disappearance, according to ABC News affiliate WFTV.

"He (Smith) has fully cooperated," said Yvonne Stewart, Parker's mother.
"They have found absolutely no evidence that there's any foul play on
his part."

Parker's parents told WFTV Saturday that believe their daughter was a "victim of a random crime."

Her family is making desperate pleas for her return.

Parker's mother, Yvonne Stewart, is frantic.

"If anybody has her and are holding her hostage, please let her go. Let her come home so she can raise her babies," she said.

Rocky Relationship

In their argument on "The People's Court," Parker revealed deeper conflicts in their relationship.

"He shouldn't have put his hands on me and he shouldn't have put his
hands on me prior. He shouldn't have left me three or four times over
the past year and a half that we we've been together," she said on the
show.

The show could provide clues for investigators.

"You know it's always possible that anytime you have a public display of
animosity between two individuals in a relationship, it's going to
exacerbate the problems between those two individuals," said Rod
Wheeler, former Washington D.C. homicide investigator and current
homicide consultant.

It's not the first time daytime TV has shared the headlines with a case.

Back in 1996, a man was convicted of murdering an acquaintance, after he
claimed the "Jenny Jones Show" ambushed him with a gay crush
confessional.

And for this case, a private dispute that played out for television audiences could be linked to this family's nightmare.

Parker's father, Brad Parker said family members, friends, volunteers
and Texas Equusearch members are searching for his daughter.

"So let's hope we find her and bring her home…," he said.

Either the ex did it / hired someone to do it - or some sicko saw her on TV, became immediately obsessed with her and tracked her down. She's pretty hot so I wouldn't doubt it if some fucked up dude saw her on TV and kidnapped her.

She's already been raped, killed, and buried somewhere by now... fucked up thing to say, but I'm probably right.
