Where is Tiffany Michelle Whitton?

     On March 7, 2011 25-year-old Tiffany Michelle Whitton, a resident of Marietta Georgia within the Atlanta metropolitan region, showed up in Dalton Georgia with two other women and a man named Matthew Stone. That night Tiffany Whitton, Tracy Chambers, Casey Renee Cantrell and Matthew Stone broke into a woman's house and terrorized her with a tire iron. The victim managed to lock herself into the bathroom and call 911. Before fleeing the dwelling Tiffany Whitton and her crew stole the woman's purse that had been lying on the couch. It contained $60.

     When questioned by detectives Whitton claimed the owner of the purse owed her money. She and her friends had gone to the house to collect what was hers. Investigators suspected that the victim and the four intruders had been in a drug deal. Whitton, a user of illicit drugs, had paid the woman for pills and when the supplier didn't deliver the goods she and her friends raided the house to get her money back.

     A prosecutor charged Tiffany Whitton and her accomplices with armed robbery, burglary and possession of drug-related objects. Following her guilty plea the judge gave Whitton  a probated sentence.

     Tiffany Whitton, a former Hooter's waitress in Kennesaw, a suburban community north of Atlanta, disappeared on September 13, 2013. The mother of a 6-year-old daughter was last seen at two in the morning in the parking lot of a Walmart store not far from her home in Marietta Georgia. Since that night she has not made contact with family members or friends. She was last seen with her boyfriend Ashley Caudle. (A few weeks after Tiffany Whitton's disappearance police arrested Caudle in a meth raid at his mother's house.)

     The missing woman's mother created a Facebook page called "Find Tiffany Whitton."

     On February 20, 2014 Marietta police officer David Baldwin, in referring to the multi-tattooed five-foot-two-inch 100-pound Whitton said, "What really worries us is that she literally vanished without a trace."

     In July 2014 detectives executed a search warrant at Caudle's mother's house in Marietta where workman dug up her back yard looking for Tiffany Whitton's remains. The searchers came up empty handed.

     So what could have happened to Tiffany Whitton? She could have run off to start a new life. However, because of her daughter that didn't seem likely. It was also unlikely that some abductor was holding her captive. If dead, she could have killed herself in some remote location or accidentally overdosed on drugs. If none of these events took place someone may have murdered her. As a drug abuser Tiffany Whitton rubbed shoulders with unsavory and dangerous people. Did she fail to pay a drug dealer? Did her criminal associates come to believe that she was a snitch?

     If Tiffany Whitton was murdered her case would not move forward until someone who knew something about her disappearance called the police or someone stumbled upon her body. Finding a person who is dead is a lot more difficult than finding someone who is alive. Where do you even begin to look for a corpse?

     As of August 2022 Tiffany Whitton's whereabouts remain unknown. There have been no arrests in the case.
