Family and friends of Michelle Parker were to hand out fliers Thursday in Kissimmee, according to CBS affiliate WKMG. A benefit was reportedly to be held Thursday night at Alligator Alley, a Kissimmee bar, the proceeds of which will go into a fund for Parker's 3-year-old twins.

"I don't know how we'll celebrate Christmas this year because we only want one thing for Christmas," Parker's brother said, reports WKMG.

Authorities have been searching for Parker since her Nov. 17 disappearance. It was the day an episode of the reality TV show, "The People's Court," ran in which Parker and her former fiance argued over her lost engagement ring.

Police say Parker's ex-fiance Dale Smith is their primary suspect. Smith's attorney has said his client has done nothing wrong. Smith and Parker have twin children.
