Today, our office received an envelope with a suspicious substance.
Thankfully, Congressman Frost’s office gave us advance notice to monitor our mail. The envelope was intercepted by local law enforcement, and no staff was hurt.
We are working with federal, state, and local law enforcement to support an investigation. Political violence has no place in our democracy, and we hope those who perpetrated this crime are brought to justice.

Today, the Orlando Police Department’s Fugitive Unit and SWAT Team arrested Dale Smith Jr., Michelle Parker’s former fiancé, on a charge of second-degree murder.
This arrest follows years of investigative work and a renewed, focused effort over the past year. An expanded investigative team reexamined evidence and used advances in digital forensics to uncover and analyze additional evidence that moved this case forward.
While Michelle has not yet been located, all evidence leads to Dale Smith Jr as the person responsible for Michelle's murder.
We will continue pursuing justice for Michelle, her family, and every victim we serve.
OPD says they arrested Dale Smith Jr and charged him with 2nd degree murder in connection with the disappearance of Michelle Parker 11/17/2011. Investigators say advanced technology helped them obtain new evidence 14 years later.
