Dale Smith’s 2nd Wife Died Years Before Michelle Parker Vanished. Now There’s A Probe Into Her Death

On November 17, 2011, “The People’s Court” aired an episode featuring a dispute between Michelle Parker and her ex-fiancé, Dale Smith Jr., over her engagement ring. That same day, Michelle vanished after dropping off the 3-year-old twins she shared with Dale at his home. Last month, nearly 15 years after Michelle disappeared, Dale was arrested and charged with second-degree murder in connection to her disappearance. He has pleaded not guilty. Following Dale’s arrest, Crime Junkie received a tip about the circumstances surrounding the 2001 death of his former wife, Shannon Collins-Smith, who died ten years before Michelle disappeared. Now, the medical examiner is reportedly reviewing Shannon’s death. Briana Whitney, a breaking news reporter with Crime Junkie, joins “Forbes True Crime” to break down these latest developments.
