当局声称一名佛罗里达男子掐死了他的前未婚妻根据一份新公布的证词,他们在真人秀节目“人民法庭”的一集“尴尬”中出现后不久就被处死,该节目播出前几天,母亲发出激烈的信息和威胁,限制与他们的双胞胎接触。
米歇尔·帕克,33岁,三个孩子的母亲,消失了的据警方称,2011年,在"人民法庭"的预录集播出后不久,该集播出了关于她的订婚戒指的争议。据警方称,她的尸体从未被发现,推测她已经死亡。
奥兰多警方表示,她的前未婚夫、55岁的小戴尔·史密斯(Dale Smith Jr .)于本月早些时候被捕,并被控与她的推定死亡有关的二级谋杀罪。他的律师说,他不认罪,并坚称自己是无辜的。
根据奥兰治县法官下令解封后于周二公布的长达46页的逮捕令宣誓书,当局认为史密斯在2011年11月17日去帕克家送他们3岁的双胞胎时掐死了帕克。
根据证词,她姐姐那天晚上报告了她的失踪,之后帕克再也没有在她工作的酒吧出现,也没有回到她与母亲共用的家。
证词称,在第二天接受侦探采访时,史密斯被拍到“最近的抓痕和擦伤,侦探现在认为是受害者的防御性伤口”。
根据证词,他的嘴附近、下唇和左手腕上有抓痕,两个肘部背面也有擦伤。
“没有侦探询问上述伤痕来自哪里的记录,”证词中写道。
根据证词,在2011年11月28日的一次新闻发布会上,史密斯被指定为帕克失踪案的唯一嫌疑人。警方在证词中声称,史密斯有“暴力史”和“无法处理紧张局势。”
在初步调查期间,侦探“了解到受害者和嫌疑人之间的家庭暴力史,其中没有一项被执法部门记录在案,”帕克的家人和朋友描述他们的关系“混乱不堪,嫌疑人经常对受害者实施暴力和控制,”证词称。根据证词,警方还了解到,史密斯在2001年因对妻子实施家庭暴力而被判有罪。
史密斯于10月14日被捕,在帕克失踪近15年后,奥兰多警察局长埃里克·史密斯说,调查人员“重新审查了嫌疑人的证词和相互矛盾的陈述,并使用先进的数字取证技术来发现和分析更多的证据。”
根据证词,今年,奥兰多警察局凶杀案分析师审查了2011年获得的原始手机数据记录,“发现记录中还有其他数据没有分析。”
“很可能这些数据在2011年对侦探来说是不可读的。该数据揭示了更精确的位置和用户数据,包括嫌疑人和受害者手机的信息,”证词称。
在她失踪前的几周,帕克向嫌疑人发送了警方所说的“几条攻击性信息”根据证词,她发短信说她恨他,并威胁要剥夺他的探视权。
根据证词,她在2011年11月3日给他发了一条短信,“我的孩子没有联合国会过得更好。”。
后来,根据证词,帕克在短信中指控史密斯试图贿赂她发生性关系。“考虑了你的提议....&将不得不衰落。根据宣誓书,她据称在2011年11月10日给他发了一条短信。
证词中的文字显示,史密斯否认提出以性换取金钱,他说他只是想和她在一起。
在她失踪的两天前,两人讨论了即将到来的周末和假期对他们双胞胎的监护权,在此期间,帕克发短信说,“你太-不可能了!一切都是关于你你还是那么自私!”根据宣誓书。
在最初接受警方采访时,史密斯说他不知道帕克发生了什么,但“认为她在人民法院节目播出后‘保持低调’”,他认为她对此感到尴尬,为了他们的孩子,他希望她安全回家。
“然而,根据他的电话记录,在2011年11月17日之后,他再也没有给她打电话或发短信,”证词称,并指出在帕克失踪前的近七周内,两人交换了1013条短信和21次语音通话。
“据信,嫌疑人在几天的攻击性信息、拒绝性交易、播出令人尴尬的人民法院集以及威胁限制他与孩子的接触后,在他的房子里杀害了受害者,”证词称。
根据手机数据,调查人员声称史密斯向警方谎报了帕克把双胞胎送到他家的时间。根据证词,他作证说,她下午4点左右到达他家,10分钟后就走了。证词称,她的电话使用“证明受害者在15:18到达嫌疑人的家,在那里呆了一个多小时,受害者再也没有回复任何人”。
根据证词,调查人员根据新的手机数据查看了监控视频,并根据这些证据,他们指控史密斯在2011年11月17日下午4点27分之前删除了帕克手机上的信息,然后将手机扔进了康威湖,后来在那里找到了手机。
他们还声称,手机记录和视频证据显示,史密斯在2011年11月17日得到双胞胎后,向警方谎报了他离开家的时间和去父母家的路线。
在10月15日首次出庭后,史密斯仍然没有保释。
他的律师Rajan Joshi告诉ABC新闻,自从Parker失踪后,Smith一直坚持自己是无辜的。
“当他最初被询问时,当这件事最初发生时,他非常配合执法。他让他们搜查了他的房子。他和他们谈过了。他在没有律师的情况下自愿接受了采访,”Joshi在Smith被捕后说。"很明显,执法部门只是把他当作唯一的嫌疑人。"
法官本周批准了一项动议,限制了州政府和被告方对此案的言论。
根据证词,史密斯和帕克在2011年6月录制了《人民法庭》这一集,该集于2011年11月17日下午2点播出,就在帕克到达史密斯家之前。
“原始录像和播出的录像对嫌疑人或受害者来说都不是恭维,”证词中写道。
史密斯为丢失的订婚戒指索赔5000美元,在这一集里他说,在亚特兰大一家酒店的争吵中,帕克把戒指扔向他,戒指越过了阳台。
在这一集里,这对前夫妇讨论了他们分分合合的关系,以及有争议的双胞胎共同抚养问题。帕克在之前的婚姻中有一个较大的孩子,她形容史密斯“相当恶毒和有报复心”
该节目的评委玛丽莲·米利安认为双方都有过错,帕克欠史密斯2500美元作为她那半枚戒指的报酬。
根据宣誓书,这并不是史密斯第一次在订婚戒指上出现问题。
根据证词,一名曾与史密斯订婚的女子告诉警方,他们在2006年订婚失败后,她“拒绝归还订婚戒指,嫌疑人通过法庭电视节目起诉了她”。
根据证词,那名女子“建议嫌疑人告诉她,他会让她消失”。
Man accused of fatally choking ex on same day they appeared on 'The People's Court': Arrest warrant
Authorities allege a Florida manchoked his former fiancéeto death shortly after they appeared in an "embarrassing" episode of the reality show "The People's Court" that aired following days of heated messages and threats from the mother to restrict access to their twins, according to a newly unsealed affidavit.
Michelle Parker, a 33-year-old mother of three,vanishedin 2011 hours shortly after the pre-taped episode of "The People's Court" aired featuring a dispute about her engagement ring, according to police. Her body has never been found and she is presumed dead, according to police.
Her former fiancé, 55-year-old Dale Smith Jr., was arrested earlier this month and charged with second-degree murder in connection with her presumed death, Orlando police said. He has pleaded not guilty and maintains his innocence, his lawyer said.
According to the 46-page arrest warrant affidavit for his arrest, which was released Tuesday after an Orange County judge ordered it unsealed, authorities believe Smith choked Parker to death when she came to his house on Nov. 17, 2011, to drop off their 3-year-old twins.
Her sister reported her missing that night, after Parker never showed up for her shift at the bar where she worked or returned to the home she shared with her mother, according to the affidavit.
While being interviewed by detectives the following day, Smith was photographed with "recent scratches and abrasions that detectives now believe are defensive wounds from the victim," the affidavit stated.
He had scratches near his mouth and on his lower lip and on his left wrist, as well as abrasions on the back of both of his elbows, according to the affidavit.
"There are no records of detectives asking what the above injuries were from," the affidavit stated.
Smith was named the only suspect in Parker's disappearance during a news conference on Nov. 28, 2011, according to the affidavit. Police allege in the affidavit that Smith has "a violent history" and "cannot handle stressful situations."
During the preliminary investigation, detectives "learned of a history of domestic violence between the victim and suspect, none of which was ever documented by law enforcement," with Parker's family and friends describing their relationship "as tumultuous, with the suspect oftentimes being violent and controlling toward the victim," the affidavit stated. Police also learned Smith was found guilty in 2001 of domestic violence against his wife at the time, according to the affidavit.
Smith was arrested on Oct. 14, nearly 15 years after Parker disappeared, with Orlando Police Chief Eric Smith saying investigators "reexamined testimony and conflicting statements made by the suspect and used advanced digital forensics to uncover and analyze additional evidence."
According to the affidavit, this year, an Orlando Police Department homicide analyst reviewed the original cellular data records obtained in 2011 and "recognized there was additional data in the records that had not been analyzed."
"It is likely this data was not readable to detectives in 2011. The data revealed more precise location and user data, to include messages, for the suspect's and victims' phones," the affidavit stated.
In the weeks leading up to her disappearance, Parker sent what police described as "several offensive messages to the suspect." According to the affidavit, she texted that she hated him and threatened that his visitation rights would be taken away.
"My kids are better off with out u n their life," she texted him in one instance on Nov. 3, 2011, according to the affidavit.
Later, in text messages, Parker accused Smith of trying to bribe her for sex, according to the affidavit. "Thought about your offer....&will have to decline. I'd rather have a personal legal loan, than feel like a whore," she allegedly texted him on Nov. 10, 2011, according to the affidavit.
Smith denied offering to have sex in exchange for money, saying he simply wanted to spend time with her, the texts included in the affidavit show.
Two days before she disappeared, the two discussed custody of their twins during the upcoming weekends and holidays, during which Parker texted, "Ur so------- impossible! Everything is about YOU your still so ------- selfish!" according to the affidavit.
During his initial interview with police, Smith said he didn't know what happened to Parker but "thought she was 'laying low' after the People's Court show aired" and that he believed she was embarrassed by it, and that he wanted her to come home safe for the sake of their kids.
"[H]owever, according to his phone records, he never called or messaged her ever again after November 17, 2011," the affidavit stated, noting that in the nearly seven weeks prior to Parker's disappearance, the two exchanged 1,013 text messages and 21 voice calls, according to the affidavit.
"It is believed the suspect killed the victim in his house after days of offensive messages, declining sex for cash, the embarrassing People's Court episode airing, and threatening to restrict his access to his children," the affidavit stated.
Citing cellular data, investigators allege that Smith lied to police about how long Parker was at his home to drop off the twins. According to the affidavit, he testified that she arrived at his house around 4 p.m. and was gone 10 minutes later. Her phone usage "proves the victim arrived at the suspect's house at 15:18 hours, stayed there for over an hour, and the victim does not respond to anyone ever again," the affidavit stated.
According to the affidavit, investigators reviewed surveillance video against the new cellular data and, based on that evidence, they allege that Smith deleted messages off Parker's phone from until 4:27 p.m. on Nov. 17, 2011, then threw it into Lake Conway, where the phone was later recovered.
They also allege that cellular records and video evidence show that Smith lied to police about when he said he left his home and the route he took to his parents' house after getting the twins on Nov. 17, 2011.
Smith remains held without bond following his initial court appearance on Oct. 15.
His attorney, Rajan Joshi, told ABC News that Smith has maintained his innocence since Parker's disappearance.
"When he was originally questioned, when this initially happened, he was very cooperative with law enforcement. He let them search his house. He talked to them. He came in voluntarily without a lawyer, gave an interview," Joshi said following Smith's arrest. "It was clear that law enforcement was only looking at him as the sole suspect."
The judge this week granted a motion limiting what the state and defense can say about the case.
According to the affidavit, Smith and Parker taped the episode of "The People's Court" in June 2011, and it aired on Nov. 17, 2011, at 2 p.m., just prior to Parker arriving at Smith's house.
"Both the raw footage and the aired footage were not flattering to either the suspect or the victim," the affidavit stated.
Smith was seeking $5,000 over a lost engagement ring, saying in the episode that Parker had thrown the ring at him during an argument at an Atlanta hotel and it went over a balcony.
During the episode, the exes discussed their on-again, off-again relationship and contentious co-parenting situation for their twins. Parker, who had an older child from a prior relationship, described Smith as "pretty malicious and vindictive."
The show's judge, Marilyn Milian, found both were at fault and that Parker owed Smith $2,500 for her half of the ring.
According to the affidavit, this was not the first time Smith had issues regarding an engagement ring.
A woman who was previously engaged to Smith told police that after their engagement failed in 2006, she "refused to return the engagement ring and the suspect sued her through a courtroom television show," according to the affidavit.
After that, the woman "advised the suspect told her he would make her disappear," according to the affidavit.
