Search continues for missing mom; last voice message released

The family and friends of missing Orange County mother Michelle Parker will pass out thousands of flyers at malls on Black Friday.

Volunteers will be going to the Mall at Millenia to distribute thousands of missing person flyers to shoppers to hopefully get more clues on Parker's disappearance.

"Today, you know, not having her here for Thanksgiving, that's been really hard," said Parker's mother Yvonne Stewart.

Volunteers continued to search through Thanksgiving  Day. Parker's father also shared her last voicemail message with WFTV on Thursday.

"Hey dad, um, it's about 8:40, this is Michelle on Wednesday morning. I know that you're at work, but call me when um, you have lunch or you have break or uh it's the end of your day. OK? I love you. I'll talk to you soon. Bye," Parker said in the message.

They had plans to get together the day after she disappeared, said Parker's dad.

Parker's sister, Lauren Erickson, said she's trying to find something to be grateful for on this Thanksgiving Day.

"I'm thankful that my sister has not been found in a bad way, because every day that doesn't happen, I still have hope that she's still out there somewhere," Erickson said.

The 33-year-old missing mother of three dropped off her 3-year-old twins with their father about one week ago.

Parker appeared on "The People's Court" with the father of her twins and ex-fiance, Dale Smith. Parker told the judge and viewers how Smith had gotten rough with her.

More than an hour later, Parker texted her brother that she was in the Waterford Lakes area.

Her iPhone went dead miles away about four hours later.

Her sport utility vehicle was found the next day.

Detectives said they're retracing their steps, going over evidence and tips again and focusing searches on the five and a half miles between where the phone went dead and where the SUV was found.
