ORLANDO, Fla. —

It's been five days and there is still no sign of missing mother of three Michelle Parker. However, Parker's mother, Yvonne Stewart, told WFTV on Tuesday that she expects something big to happen in the case.

Parker's family said they desperately want her home for Thanksgiving.

Parker was last seen dropping off her 11-year-old son and her twins at her ex-fiance's home last Thursday.

More than 60 volunteers hit the road again to hand out fliers throughout Orange County, which is were investigators are looking.

Detectives said they do not have a lot of leads or evidence, yet the family said they have plenty of hope.

"I think something big is going to happen today because there is a lot of stuff going on that we can't tell you," said Stewart.

But Stewart and the Orlando Police Department will not say what, if anything, new has happened in the case.

In fact, the only information WFTV has received from the police is about Parker's black Hummer, which was found 10 miles from the search site where her cellphone stopped transmitting near Oakridge Road.

A billboard of Parker was put up on Orange Avenue. The family said the more people that see Parker's face, the better chances someone may come forward with information about her disappearance.

"We are scared for her life, and she needs to be home with her babies," Stewart said.

Parker's family denies that her ex-fiance, Dale Wayne Smith, is involved in her disappearance. 

Stewart said Parker's family had to tell her 11-year-old son that they believe his mom was kidnapped after someone tried to steal her Hummer. 

"She needs to be let go.  They just need to let her go, let her come home," said Stewart.

Parker's parents said they are confident whoever has her will let her go.

"Good over comes evil.  Bad guys don't always win," Stewart said.

WFTV found out that detectives are looking for Parker's iPhone.

Parker appeared on The People's Court with Smith to argue about an engagement ring.

The episode aired hours before she disappeared.

Parker's mother said that going on the show was something her daughter strongly regretted.

"She said, 'That was the most humiliating experience of my life. I don't even ever want to see it. I wish I had never gone,'" said Stewart.

Police said that Smith is not a suspect.
