Today, the Orlando Police Department’s Fugitive Unit and SWAT Team arrested Dale Smith Jr., Michelle Parker’s former fiancé, on a charge of second-degree murder.
This arrest follows years of investigative work and a renewed, focused effort over the past year. An expanded investigative team reexamined evidence and used advances in digital forensics to uncover and analyze additional evidence that moved this case forward.
While Michelle has not yet been located, all evidence leads to Dale Smith Jr as the person responsible for Michelle's murder.
We will continue pursuing justice for Michelle, her family, and every victim we serve.
