“It is still a viable case with several new leads being developed and explored by members of the Unit. This twenty year anniversary of Tiffany’s disappearance is a time to remember and recommit ourselves to resolving as many unsolved missing persons and murder cases as possible.

It is my hope that our efforts in this case, in addition to solving a crime, will bring a measure of comfort to the Session’s family. We hope our dedication to this case will honor the tragedy they continue to endure and some day give them answers to the haunting questions about their loved one’s  place or demise. Tiffany remains forever young and forever a constant reminder to our community of the love and support of a family during her life and in her absence.

We remain steadfast partners with her family in solving this case.”
