Missing in Florida: Michelle Parker & Tracy Ocasio

Another listener requested episode. Thank you, Chris Johnson!

Cam and Jen discuss two unsolved cases involving missing women in the Orlando area in Florida.

First, we discuss Michelle Parker. Michelle disappeared in 2011, just hours after millions of viewers tuned in to see her and her ex-fiance, Dale Smith, on The People's Court. She was last seen dropping off her twins at Smith's apartment. There is a $200,000 reward for any tips leading to an arrest or where she is located.

Then we discuss the disappearance of Tracy Ocasio in 2009. She was last seen leaving a bar called The Florida Tap Room in Ocoee with a man named James Hataway. Tracy's car was found 150 yards away from Hataway's home, but she has never been found.

James Hataway has since been sentenced to life in prison for the attempted murder of another woman who had given him a ride home.

If you have any information about these two women, please call Crimelines at 1-800-423-8477.
