Original: Michelle Parker's former fiancé arrested for murder nearly 15 years after her disappearance

Dale Smith, the former fiancé of Michelle Parker, has been arrested and charged with murder nearly 15 years after the Florida mother vanished in 2011. Parker disappeared in Orlando shortly after appearing on a daytime TV show to discuss a custody dispute with Smith, who was long considered the prime suspect but never charged. The arrest brings a long-awaited development in a case that drew national attention and years of searching by her family.

Why now: A long-running high-profile cold case finally saw an arrest after nearly 15 years of waiting by Parker's family and the public.
