(CBS/WKMG) ORLANDO, Fla. - Michelle Parker, the 33-year-old mother who went missing the same day her episode of "The People's Court" aired, reportedly told her mother that appearing on the court show was the most humiliating experience of her life.

Yvonne Stewart told ABC News that her daughter had regrets about appearing on the show when she returned from the taping.

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

According to CBS affiliate WKMG, authorities located the missing woman's vehicle, a black Hummer SUV, on the west side of Orlando.

Orlando police said Parker has a violent history with her ex-boyfriend, Dale Smith. He has not been named as a suspect in the disappearance. Smith's father said his son was home when Parker went missing.

Parker appeared as a defendant Thursday on an episode of "The People's Court" with her ex-boyfriend over a $5,000 engagement ring she lost during a fight. Stewart told ABC News that the episode was recorded during the summer.

Parker is described as a white woman, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, with short dark brown hair.

Anyone with information about Parker's whereabouts is urged to call the Orlando Police Department at 321-235-5300.

60% chance the boyfriend had something to do with her disappearance.
35% chance she's hiding from the public.
5% chance some stranger abducted her.
I always trust machines more than people so the boyfriend should volunteer to polygraph to rule himself out to help solve the case.; Reply to this comment


by hidegirlgcks November 22, 2011 12:20 PM EST: The main question i have is "what was the outcome of the show she was on? was she ordered to pay the ex back for the ring she lost?" that might have given her a reason to get lost for a while. Or..... is the ex's father lying for him and he did something to her because she wont the case? Not much to go on from this story; Reply to this comment


by fwupow November 22, 2011 11:18 AM EST: a "violent history"? What does that mean? She lost her engagement ring during a fight? Who does she fight with? Maybe she beat up one too many people. I dunno. Totally mystifying article.; Reply to this comment

by pak31 November 22, 2011 10:11 AM EST: You also have to wonder what type of person would even consider going on the show in the first place. I certainly wouldn't even entertain the idea. Maybe she's in hiding? Then again she has kids so would you leave them?; Reply to this comment
