Tiffany disappeared after telling her roommate that she was going for a power walk on February 9, 1989, between 4-6 p.m. She wasn't carrying any ID or keys to the condo because she was expected back for her roommate to take a pharmacology test at 7 p.m. on campus.
Her typical walking route from her Casablanca East apartment was east on SW 35th Place to the Hickory Apartments, south toward Williston Road, right on Willison Road (west) to the Nationwide Insurance Office, and back in the opposite direction.
Tiffany was declared legally dead in 1994.
In 2014, police named Paul Rowles, as a suspect. Rowles kept a journal of his killings. One notation reads "2/9/89 #2" which investigators believe means February 9, 1989 - second victim. Rowles has since died, but police continue to work on this theory.
