Orlando woman missing the day TV court show with her and ex-boyfriend aired
An Orlando woman who police say has a violent history with an ex-boyfriend went missing on Thursday — the same day a television court show aired featuring her and a former flame.
Michelle Parker, 33, was last seen about 4 p.m. Thursday. She drives a black Hummer with the license plate AWG M26, police said.
Friends said about 2 p.m. they were gathering at Jessie Black Saloon on Oak Ridge Road in Orlando to pass out flyers and raise awareness about her disappearance.
According to a friend, she last sent a text message to her brother about 4:26 p.m. Thursday to indicate that she was in the Waterford Lakes area.
Her SUV, the friend said, had the words "Glow Mobil Airbrush Tanning" on its side windows.
Parker has a violent history with a former boyfriend, according to police and court documents, which indicate the pair went through a custody battle in 2009 over their now 3-year-old twins.
Parker filed a request for domestic-violence injunction against the man later that year. In it, she accused him of a tirade in front of their children, then 15 months old.
She wrote the man cursed and threatened her while holding one of their twins. He also broke the passenger window of her truck, she said, and threw a pair of child car seats at the vehicle.
Parker is described as a 5-foot, 6-inch white woman with short dark brown hair. The friend said the mother of three was last seen wearing blue jeans with a long-sleeved Florida Gators zip-up hooded sweatshirt.
Friends started a Facebook community to provide information about efforts to get the word out about Parker, and within hours, more than 350 people were following the page.
The day she went missing, an episode of "The People's Court" aired, featuring Parker and an ex-boyfriend.
A description of the episode on the show's website provides the following description: "A rollercoaster romance derails!"
In a preview of the episode online, Parker says the man "grabbed me and yanked me around" during a relationship he says lasted for years.
"He's crying, I'm crying, he's sorry, I'm sorry," she tells the judge in the episode preview. "We brushed it under the rug, and I stayed with him for a few more months."
At the end of the video, Judge Marilyn Milian tells the couple they are "like drugs to each other."
"You're addicted to each other," Milian says.
