  "summary": "Dale Smith Jr, the ex-fiancé of Michelle Parker, has been arrested for her murder following her disappearance in 2011. Parker, a mother of three, went missing on November 17, 2011, after dropping her children off at Smith Jr's home. The Orlando Police Department's Fugitive Unit and SWAT Team made the arrest, attributing the case's breakthrough to extensive investigative work and modern forensic techniques. Smith Jr was the last person to have contact with Parker, and his arrest follows years of consideration of him as a suspect.",
