"You're number one. You can't run and you can't hide. And, we're coming after you," Brad Parker told CBS affiliate WKMG, speaking of Dale Smith, Jr.

Police have named Smith a suspect in Michelle's Nov. 17 disappearance. The couple had appeared earlier that day on an episode of "The People's Court" where they argued over who should pay for a $5,000 engagement ring Parker lost.

Police have said that Parker and Smith had a violent relationship.

Meanwhile, Parker's family has moved the base operation of their ongoing search for Michelle to the bar where she worked. They have also expanded the area they are searching.

According to WKMG, the search had been headquartered near a lake where Parker's cell phone was traced before it turned off.

"My heart is aching," Yvonne Parker told WKMB. "Every day I see her face and she's not with our family, it's killing me."
