Tiffany Sessions

Tiffany Louise Sessions is a missing woman from Tampa, Florida, who was last seen on February 9, 1989. Her family nickname was "Tiffy". She was attending college at the University of Florida in Gainesville and was majoring in business. Disappearance: On the night of Sessions' disappearance, she told her roommate that she was going out alone for a power walk. Between 4 and 5 PM, she left her apartment on SW 35th Place. Sessions left her wallet, identification, and keys in her apartment. Sessions was wearing a white pullover sweatshirt with long sleeves and grey horizontal striping with "Aspen" printed on the front of the shirt's collar, red sweat pants, and tennis shoes. She was also wearing a two-tone silver and gold women's Rolex wrist watch and was carrying a black Sony Walkman. After five hours, when Sessions had still not returned, her roommate alerted Sessions' mother that her daughter was missing. The police did not initially handle the disappearance as a crime because a crime scene had not been found. There was no sign that Sessions had left her apartment's parking lot, nor were there any signs of a struggle. People who were in the area of Sessions' disappearance have stated that someone fitting Sessions' description was seen speaking to individuals sitting inside a vehicle. Eyewitnesses were uncertain as to whether the woman entered the vehicle, and authorities have never confirmed that the individual in question was Sessions. Michael Christopher Knickerbocker was considered a suspect involved in the disappearance. While Knickerbocker was in prison serving five consecutive life sentences, he reportedly told his fellow inmates that he had murdered Sessions. He also said that he had chained Sessions to a tree, and discarded her body close to Fort Myers in the Caloosahatchee River, but because Knickerbocker was not living in Gainesville at the time of Sessions' disappearance, the feasibility of his involvement has been questioned. As of 2014, police believed that now-deceased and convicted serial-killer Paul Eugene Rowles was responsible for Sessions' disappearance and murder.
