WESH
DAYTONA BEACH --

The search for Michelle Parker has moved into a third county in as many weeks.

The missing Orlando mother's family said a tip called in to CrimeLine has led them to Daytona Beach.

The tipster reported seeing a woman matching Parker's description in the area of Atlantic Avenue and Seabreeze Boulevard.

Her family said Parker is apparently familiar with the area, because she would sometimes work as a bartender or promoter for area nightclubs at hot spots.

Michelle's brother, Dustin Erickson, said friends and family want to follow up on every credible tip they get.

Tuesday, volunteers plan to blanket the neighborhood near the beach with fliers.

Meanwhile, Parker's family continues to put public pressure on her ex-fiancé, Dale Smith II.

Orlando police have called him their primary suspect in Parker's disappearance, but Smith has not yet been arrested or charged.

Still, Brad Parker, Michelle's father, said he thinks Smith "knows, and someone else knows, and he may have had an accomplice."

It was not immediately clear if the Daytona Beach Police Department has any reason to believe Michelle Parker may be in their city.

But a week before the search moved to Daytona Beach, someone posted a sign with Parker's photo and information right in front of Daytona International Speedway.

A trust fund for Michelle Parker's family has been set up with the help of Morgan and Morgan law firm. The fund will "not only fund rescue efforts, but also provide for Parker's children."
