New information in the disappearance of Tiffany Sessions

Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP2413) and 9 other sources
Tiffany Sessions, a 20-year-old University of Florida student, disappeared on February 9, 1989, in Gainesville, Florida. She left her apartment around 6:00 p.m. to go for a walk along Williston Road and never returned. Witnesses reported seeing a woman matching her description speaking with individuals in a vehicle shortly after she left, but it is unclear if Tiffany entered the car. She left behind her wallet, keys, and ID, which raised concerns when her roommate realized she hadn’t returned after several hours.

Despite extensive searches and investigations, Tiffany has never been found. Over the years, multiple suspects have been considered, including Michael Knickerbocker, a convicted murderer who claimed to have killed Tiffany and buried her body near Fort Myers. However, no substantial evidence has confirmed his involvement.

In 2014, another suspect emerged—Paul Rowles, a convicted serial killer who was active in the Gainesville area at the time of her disappearance. Investigators discovered a cryptic entry in Rowles' notebook that seemed to correspond with Tiffany’s disappearance, leading them to believe he may have been involved. Rowles died in 2013, leaving many unanswered questions, and Tiffany's case remains unsolved. Authorities continue to investigate, and her family has maintained efforts to keep her case alive.
