Dan Abrams: If People’s Court Guest’s Disappearance Isn’t Connected To Show, It Would Be A ‘Real Coincidence’

Tuesday morning, Mediaite founder and ABC legal analyst Dan Abrams stopped by the set of Good Morning America to discuss the case of Florida woman Michelle Parker, who went missing after appearing on the daytime’s People’s Court television show.

Abrams shared that it’s significant that Parker’s family has decided to stand behind her ex-fiancé — with whom she had argued on the show — both where the investigation into her disappearance and the “court of public opinion” are concerned.

“There’s no question they’re going to focus on him,” said Abrams. “They need to rule him out first before they do anything else.” And, of course, the fact that Parker had (unsuccessfully) attempted to obtain a restraining order against her ex is going to factor into the need to take a good look at his actions leading up to her disappearance.

And there is, of course, the whole “appearing on People’s Court” thing:

And in conjunction with the fact that they had this kind of humiliating public battle on The People’s Court hours before she disappears? I mean, if this was a random crime… It could’ve been, could’ve been… it would be one heck of a coincidence that she appears on national television in a contentious battle. And, again, it doesn’t necessarily mean he was involved, could mean someone he knows or someone who saw it or something else. But, with that said, to think that this is possible that this is a random occurrence — absolutely possible, but something that would be a real coincidence.

You may care less now, but wait until it’s someone you know. Then see what you’re saying.

Darladoon, surely you must have more compassion than that. At the least, I am sure that those who love Michelle Parker care very much about this case. If, heaven forbid, someone you love went missing, how would it make you feel to hear people say they “.COULD. CARE. LESS.” about him or her? Just something to think about.
LOL

I think you mean you could NOT care less. COULD. NOT. CARE. LESS.
boo boo

Good point. Where is the drum circle coverage, Mediaite? WHERE?!

Anytime something significant happens at OWS, Mediaite has covered it. Unfortunately, other news is happening on the planet. Try and get your brain to handle the concept that more than one thing can happen at once, idiot.

yes it is. you ignorant pig. This woman is a mother of 3 young children. She is missing and something could be seriously wrong with her. as a nation we need to show compassion and concern for our people that contribute to the country and economy, and not a bunch of smelly morons camping out in the streets around the country.

Ha. I’ve always felt the “could care less” construction was more heartless than “could not care less.” The former says, effectively, “I could care less, but I feel too apathetic about the subject to do so.”

Let’s ask know-it-all Nancy Grace. I’m sure she has the answer. :)
