ORLANDO -- News13
A week has passed since Michelle Parker was last seen alive, but even on this Thanksgiving, her family is hopeful she'll show up in time for dinner.
Michelle's mother Yvonne Stewart says her daughter normally makes sweet potato casserole, but instead, the family is spending the day searching in Orlando, and updating the missing person's poster.
Parker was last seen last Thursday, dropping off her 3-year-old twins with their father and her ex-fiance, Dale Smith.
Orlando Police say this case is priority number one, and they are focusing on three key areas:
He ex-fiance's house, the last place she was known to be
The family's command center on Oakridge Road, the area where her cell phone was turned off
An apartment complex near Mall at Millenia, where Parker's Hummer H3 was found.
Yvonne says Michelle's children are asking where their mother is, and she is hoping to give them good news.
"It's the first thanksgiving without her," Yvonne said. "Hopefully she'll show up sometime today. That would be a blessing everyone in the world would love to see. Me more than anybody and her babies."
