The $50,000 reward the family is offering expires tonight at midnight. Currently, family members and volunteers are working on posters, not only updating them, but getting the information out to Spanish speaking neighborhoods as well.

Sunday afternoon they are expected to go to the neighborhood of the house raided hoping someone may have seen something.

Note: Odd that the $50,000.00 expires at midnight!

It is really, really interesting that her hummer was left near an Occupy protest. Very risky with all of the police around, but also speaks to trying to confuse the investigation and possibly trying to pin it on one of the protesters.

Yup the reward thing is also very bizarre. Never heard of expired rewards before. Anybody? Oh mabye Leonard Padilla in the Casey Anthony case? Don't remember.

[squints]

no i am not a friend of the family. I got this information because the article that recanted had the guys name in it who owned the security cam...and I found out he lived next door through official public records... Maybe they recanted it because of the guys name and his proximity to dales. Which is why im not gonna say the guys name or his unit number.

the news took the article down saying "they dont think it's michelles hummer" or whatever. maybe it was, maybe it wasnt.

I have no affilation to dale or the parkers.

just to be clear- the thing I said about the media was my sole opinion (that the police are using the media as a tool to profile the suspects behavior).

this is a new thread so i forgot who i am responding to here. looool.

I would have backed up my post about the neighbor, and I can post the original news article if you all would like (since it was all censored after lol). But first I would like to edit out the guys name in the article because he is just some guy who has nothing to do with the whole situation. If a mod would like his full name to verify his address and that he lives right there next to dale, I can do that in private too)

=)

[squints]

hahahaha my first post got lost in the last thread and now there is a new one!

every time i bring up those protesters I feel like it gets lost in the mess, and i think its sooo important too. ah well. loool. maybe people will backread.

I think the reward expiring is brilliant if it pans out. It just adds pressure for those who may know something.

I sure hope it does!!!

No, I can't say I've heard of a reward expiring, but I like the idea. By forcing a time limit it encourages those who may know something but are reluctant to say anything to act...

I think the $50,000 reward ceases at midnight tonight? However I think the $15,000 reward remains in force?

[Patty G]

I haven't seen many cases where a reward was offered for a missing person, that anyone came forth to claim it!

It's all good !! I think the info about the protesters is a very good idea and hopefully LE is checking that out. Having the media request any info or video from those that where there would be great.

I'm rambling

[Dee in MD]

Just thinking; MP was to drop the children off, video shows her Hummer (allegedly) headed to DS's condo. What if that DS wasn't there? She calls him to ask where he is and then he states "I'm at my dad's." That would have brought out a whole new fire storm of "you’re going to make me late...." Pings of other peoples cell phones to dad's house would also show just cause to search. Remember in the beginning the officers waited for him to come back to the condo. Again, just thought provoking.

I've never put too much weight on rewards. It's always been my opinion that if someone knows something they come forward with information and not wait for a reward fund to be set up. How much is enough? KWIM? Mabye $50,000 isn't enough. Does the person wait it out to see if it increases? Or some other reward is set up? Do they wait until 11:59 and say, oh it's almost midnight better call in my tip?

Cases are usually solved when the perp slips up or full blown search is done and the body is found and even then, cases remain unsolved.

2 off the top of my head with high rewards and no resolve yet. Holly Bobo and Lisa Irwin. Holly at $85,000 and Lisa at $100,000.

Anyone know? Thanks in advance.

I found the information through OC Court Records (Orange County Clerk) and Sparky. Dale Jr. is Dale Wayne (W.) Smith and his birth date is 06/28/71. And he's listed in OC's court records 10 times for various offenses, including battery. As a comparison, I'm listed in my county's court records only being called to and reporting to jury duty.

And yes, you are allowed to post such information here.

Thanks for the offer, squints!

Well, naturally we wouldn't hear of it that's the whole point of tips being anonymous... One doesn't necessarily have had to be a witness to a crime, they may have just overheard something or provide information that leads the LE to the crime scene...

As of now the LE haven't reported much other than where her vehicle was found and where they think the phone was last before it went dead...

We've heard nothing about anyone seeing the vehicle along the path where the phone powered down. Nor have we heard of anyone seeing the vehicle being parked where it was later found. That vehicle had to get from DS town home where she was last seen alive, to Walden Circle were it was found sometime after midnight.

We've got only a few options of what could have happen:
1. She disappeared of her own doing (Not likely the case)
2. DS had something to do with her disappearance (Possible but no proof)
3. A carjacking went bad (Possible)
4. A stalker (Possible)

[fran]

FWIW, the time limit on the $50K reward was at the request of Michelle's parents.

This is just MY opinion, but I feel they raided the house because of a tip. I don't know what it was, but I know earlier today I read an article, and cannot find it now, sorry,............where LE said they 'received a 'tip'' about the vehicle, but would NOT reveal what it was. Take that FWIW, because at this time I can't find the link where I saw that.

JMHO

'People's Court' Missing Mom Case: Police Search Home in Michelle Parker Search

Police overnight searched an Orlando, Fla., home as they probed the disappearance 10 days ago of Michelle Parker, the mom who vanished the same day she and her ex-fiance aired a dispute on "The People's Court."

"Roughly 12 guys piled out, banged on the door, yelled 'search warrant, search warrant,' and basically took everybody out of the house," said Don Partin, a neighbor.

The home belongs to Dale Smith Sr., the father of Parker's ex-fiance, Dale Smith Jr., according to reports.

Late Saturday night, Smith Sr. was removed from the home with his hands in restraints, witnesses told ABC News affiliate WFTV, and the home's other occupants also were removed and restrained during the search. Two women, another man and some children also were taken out of the house, according to witnesses.

Where the HECK was the media when you really need them? I can't believe not 1 local station was on the scene especially since it supposedly lasted well over an hr..They blew it & so did all the neighbors that failed to call & report what was happening on their street!

I think it's a great strategy....and praying it works. Puts an urgency on the perspective tipster.

Want to also note--- it seems from the vehicles I've noticed in the father's driveway (vette, mustang, and very old coupes.... the family is very much into cars, restoration, etc. They would know and/or probably own a can of adhevsive remover. I think both families are into cars, racing, and that kind of thing. imo. http://www.autozone.com/autozone/acc...ier=191099_0_0_

DS's father is on my radar more so than DS himself...atm. DS seemed to be really upset on the PC in his interview after the judgement was rendered. He seemed to want to show the reporter the text he had rec'd from MP the night before saying she still cared and was confused....then changed her attitude the day of the case..calling her bipolar. Maybe he has vented to his father...and there may be other things that happened since and then when the father viewed the airing it just set him off?

[katydid23]

Wow, thanks for that old version of the article, Squint.

If I am understanding it correctly, her Hummer was seen, w/out the decals, leaving the gated area an hour and a half after dropping her kids off, correct?

That's what the News was trying to imply... But LE has stated it's a different Hummer, and that's why the news has pulled the video.

[girlinblue]

Out of curiousity, anyone have any ideas on who the two women in the house were? Has there been any mention of a new GF for DS, or DS's mother or stepmother?

After looking at the sec cam snaps again it doesn't seem like an image of the driver could have been caught and plates don't seem visible. How exactly did they rule out the other Hummer or decide when it was Michelle's that left?

ETA: Can someone confirm or was it an idea that the decals were removed before the Hummer left?

Also don't gated areas usually have guards? Isn't that the whole point of a gated community?

ITA!!! Thank YOU!!! Either dad...or someone else CLOSE, who didn't like MP...maybe for what they think she's put DS through.....And/OR what she said on the show. It just set whoever's butt on fire....can I say that??


I'll crawl back to my corner and stop being redundant....

On that I agree totally but some people just won't lift a finger to do the right thing unless it benefits them in someway... Sad I know but that's just how sickening some people just are...
