Mom of 3 Vanishes Months After Surviving Kidnapping

I can tell you for the longest that I don't like talking to you. I don't like what you did. It does not make me want you. The life this mother was building ends in an instant. The moment she vanishes, leaving friends and family just clinging to hope. She was chasing her dream. This is something I watch on TV and now you're living it. There was still the hope that she was alive. And that was the primary driving force was trying to find her. [inaudible] No, I can't read anything. Where'd your face go? I can't read anything. It was like having breadcrumbs from Tiffany's own mouth about what must have happened to her. Hey, how are you, ma'am? Are you okay? Yeah. What's going on? I can't say that. I can't. Why can't you say anything? Can't you be the same, man? Guy, now one upper 35, where's emergency? Yeah, my mom has been missing for more than 24 hours. And you haven't had any contact with her? She checked me yesterday, but that was like at 12. Well, I was a sweet thing. But after that, no one has heard something. It's early spring, 2021. In 35-year-old Tiffany Foster Starks, hasn't been heard from and hasn't been seen in over 24 hours. She never showed up for class at Georgia Military College where she was studying criminal justice. She hasn't been in contact with her children or her sisters. So, understandably, her loved ones are very concerned. Oh, March 1st, 2021. Tiffany Nicole Foster left her apartment at Creek sign at White Oak, off lakeside way to go shopping. She sent a text message to her mother, and this is the last text message that she sent from her phone. Oh, March 2nd. Miss Foster did not report to her college class. Later that evening, she was reported missing to this agency. She is a kind and loving person, beautiful inside and out. She's a mother of three. She's my best friend. This has devastated our family. As you can imagine, no child should have to worry about where their mother is in the condition that their mother is in. My granddaughter had called me and told me that her mom didn't come home. So, I just came over to me and said, "Carve a police." And is this a newton? Yeah. Okay, how old is your mom? Like 30-something. Do you know what she was last wearing? She had a lack of dress on. Did she drive any kind of car? Uh, yes. She was driving a Nissan Altima. And is this the first time that she's been missing? Yes. On March 5th, Miss Foster did not show up at work for next scheduled shift. On March 11th, 2021. Miss Foster missed a flight to Texas. A deputy went out to their apartment at the Lakeside apartment and took the initial report. They actually spoke with Reginald Robertson who was Miss Foster's boyfriend, slash fiance at the time. They began to speak to her mother and also her best friend to determine where exactly she was. Like I'd there, the police were already there. I was really delirious and confused and didn't know what to do. And it was just like a nightmare. I'm thinking, "Okay, maybe she's tidy or something." Maybe she want to go and just have a mommy day because she was very big on self-care and having her little days out in that nature. So I'll tell you, maybe she just went to vacation and decided to leave you guys or something. She'll be back. It took me a minute, I guess. They really be like, "Okay, something must be wrong now." Reginald went by Reggie. So according to him, he was there with the children. She leaves to go shopping. That's sometime in the morning. Law enforcement has to determine is this a woman who left of her own choice? Like, is this a woman who decided she had had enough or she just needed a break and is going to come back? She has four sisters and a mom, like, you have three kids. So you're not going to leave your children. She never leaves her kids with the unattended and not just saying anything to any of us. She liked to be on social media. When you see her on social media, they're pictures of her. She's always tending to pose and smile and all that stopped. She wanted to be in law enforcement. She was being on education altogether. Her goal was to buy her house for her and her children. And that's what she was aiming for. Yeah, she was definitely a hustler. So I see her having a lot of jobs. Like, I mean, what can't you do? When she walked in the room, everybody required or whatever, even you could be doing something and she'll say something funny and just bust out, start laughing and everybody looking and make everybody laugh. Yeah, she could make you laugh. You can be your best or down moment. Tiffany can bring you out of it. Yeah, her laugh was very contagious. It was so loud, like. And she, like, threw her head back. So, yeah, it was definitely a joy to be around her, pretty sure. At the time, Tiffany was working for the Henry County Sheriff's Department as a corrections officer. She also worked doing security for different businesses. She was a strong woman. She was not one to kind of take things quietly or lying down. She had a best friend that she spoke to every single day, multiple times a day. She did what she could for her family and her children and kind of made the world go round for them. Tiffany kind of had a fraught relationship history. Her relationship with her prior husband was contentious at times, but they were able to maintain a friendship even after the marriage dissolved. Tiffany and Reggie, they actually had met at a transitional center or prison where she was a guard. The relationship moved into a romantic relationship that they ended up moving in together at the apartments here in Cowie to County. She if it never told us how she met him, that we did our investigation. But, you know, we would just been her do her thing because we didn't want her to think, you know, we was judging her or anything like that. And, you know, she seemed like she was happy, you know, when they first met. Their children got along. It was like one big happy family. To me on the outside, he was seen like he was a pretty good guy and we was trying to give her a chance. She had just got out of the divorce, you know, to find herself and give her the chance to be happy. He came to, you know, outings. You know, he brought his kids. We opened our arms to him because we want her to be happy. Weeks before the public even heard about Tiffany's disappearance, detectives were actually speaking with her fiance, then 44 year old Reginald Robertson, aka Reggie. And, there was something from that earlier conversation that drew attention. He came in voluntarily for the polygraph and had agreed to speak with the detectives. Now, what are we doing here? Oh, we're doing a polygraph, too. I think this is going to ask me, um, I guess, if I have any, um, any, um, knowledge of what I'm going to bring to you is, uh, Mr. from the team is good. Yes. You will not come to arrest somebody right? When deputies originally responded that day, it was, oh, we were really busy that morning and kids were getting ready for school. We woke up late and I had to take this car and she was like, you just go on. And then, you know, she just went to run errands and, and such. And so, uh, initially, the timeline just didn't make sense as far as when she left, why she left, if she left to run errands, uh, if she left in the vehicle that, you know, it was her only vehicle, her brand new vehicle. How many hours do you sleep last night? Uh, uh, organologists, I can say, maybe, maybe four or so little, just worried about the fiancee that you wish you had. You've lost soul to for any Monday. When was that Monday, now from like 12 to 130? It was me, her and her daughter. She lived out of the door. And, uh, I got to use the bathroom. I used to do it like every month. But she said, I don't know. She had air, she had to go run and do stuff anyway. Oh, 'cause, you know, for me, some groceries. So, I mean, I think she's going to do a air and go get groceries and do it up. Hmm, do you know for the fact weight Tiffany is now? How? Do you know for the fact weight Tiffany's ultimate is right now? No, I don't think so. I don't know. The polygraph was a simple request that, you know, if he had nothing to hide, if he, you know, was willing to cooperate and participate with law enforcement, then participate in the polygraph, which could help, you know, establish whether or not he had been truthful up to that point. - You heard any time from Nissan yet? - I don't know yet. - Well, they're paying in the car right now. - Got now, okay. - You watch his police interview that was given after the polygraph? He's kind of kicked back, right? It's kind of casual, kind of acting like everything's fine. And what are you talking about? And playing a little dumb, I would suggest. - Let's forget about the call. We got some inconsistencies in your story. What time was the last time you saw her on Monday? - I went keeping up with the time. I don't know, it's, it's, I wanna say, someone around 11 to 2, 3, or 12, maybe I don't know, somewhere around 12. - When you filed the original report, you says around 7, 38. - Okay, I thought it would stay a more time. - And now you're 12 and 1 and now you're up between 11 and 3. Now let's down, Rich. - I said that, there was more than time. It was, 'cause that's when I left to go and take the kids to school. - Where did you go after you dropped? - The one off, then the house gone. - Came over back to the house. - Was she there then? - Yes, she was there, her door was there. - Where were you at when Tiffany left? - In the bathroom. - How long have you been together? - I'm not sure yet, I ain't here. - Cowita County is a smaller community. It's a rural community and it's in the south. People are generally pleasant, cordial. That's the demeanor of the law enforcement in that community and in fact during the interview that's how they start out. - Tell me about this Mr. Scott guy. - I don't know, all I know is Mr. Scott. That's all I know. Maybe about a whole lot of, like, they describe it gifts, you know, and then put $300 on pocket at the same time and he gave her a five-gill card, all of them, $100 on. They still talk every day. He said they just pray and that's okay, he says that. - I didn't know Mr. Scott, that's all I know. I know he works so big at the job that he used to work at. - So Mr. Scott was a prior person in Tiffany's life that, you know, she claims was a friend. Reggie obviously thought that there was some, you know, more to it than friendship. That relationship, we don't have any information to suggest it was anything other than what she alluded to in the conversations they had. We do know that there were some people that Reggie had, you know, relations with while he was with Tiffany. And so there were allegations of infidelity from both sides. - Reggie, right now, right now, it's the time that if you got something to do with her being gone, or you know where she's at, 'cause you don't fail the (beep) out of a polygraph. And all of them, I can tell you why you failed it. You failed it 'cause you didn't do it true. - I don't know if it's the end of my life. - He of course said, I don't know why I would have failed the polygraph, you know, can I take it again? Maybe I was just nervous. - Reginald's story was that Tiffany left of her own volition in her car. Tiffany's mother was able to give law enforcement some background into the nature of their relationship and kind of got the ball rolling for law enforcement to start looking at this less as a woman who ran off of her own choice and start looking at it from the perspective of something was done to her. - Reg, I don't know which year. - Who's she seeing? - I don't know. - Did you get all pissed off with her and whoop up on her? - No. I ain't never got a place I'm with her gone. - Reginald, are you seeing anybody else? Just tell me if you're. How you screw around with it ain't nothing about business, but I-- - And actually where you at? - Because I'm gonna verify some stuff. - And now I ain't screwin' her back. - Did you call her after she left? - She ain't gonna answer to me. - But did you call her? - Did I call her? I know it takes, I might have called. - We don't fight about it all the time together for three years. We don't change, it's kind of a short time frame. You know, we go back and forth and not speak to each other. We don't fight about it, you know? It brings all that out. I don't know, I catch her with my son. When you say you catch her, it's something I don't think we're gonna be on the lane. - Okay, I'll tell you how you know man. I'll tell me I'm probably some. - When police interrogate anyone, they always are gonna ask about the nature of their relationship. And he was forthcoming with some of the troubling details. He admitted that they would argue. - So Reginald Robertson explains to investigators that when he and Tiffany would get into these arguments, they would talk through the kids. For example, texting things like tell your mom this, tell Reggie that instead of speaking to each other like adults. - They had a very contentious relationship. I don't know that Tiffany was having actual infidelity or if she was engaged in inappropriate flirtations or talking to people about her feelings. They were not wholly committed to one another throughout the duration of their relationship. And that was definitely a point of contention for both of them. - First she said she ain't got enough going on. I think there you got something going on. You got different now. Can you listen to my phone? - Yes, I can, my phone. I promise you that's maybe a lie. - Now you gotta be honest man. - You can't tell me that you didn't insure it. Didn't you pitch you off if you no in on that? - It did, it did. So, but not to the point of doing that. - No, this is small. - Okay, the (beep) I've been kissing over it. - Yeah, I mean, there's something I'll hold back. - If I know something, I'd know what she's at. I think you know more than you're telling. - I don't know, you can just tell. You think I've spent all these last couple days trying to see where the car is? If I know where the car is. - I've seen people do it before. - I think he was doing what he thought he needed to do to keep law enforcement from viewing him as a person of interest. - Here's Plankman, I'm not point fingers, but the facts are, she's missing. Been gone for eight days now. And you failed a paragraph. It ain't looking good. - I know it's draining on you. 'Cause the woman you love ain't around. - Then you're gonna have to go out of your way to prove to me that she hadn't done something with her. - Let's recap for a second. Okay, so there's accusations of infidelity and cheating. Yes, but there's nothing to indicate that Tiffany has been injured or kidnapped. There's no crime scene. Yes, her car is missing, but there's no evidence of a struggle inside the apartment. And so at this point, there's not enough to charge Reggie with anything, let alone in connection with Tiffany's disappearance. This could all just be a big misunderstanding. Sure, the evidence is just not saying much. That is until later that afternoon. - Nissan has a kind of tracking system that they were able to turn on and find the actual location of the vehicle. There wasn't any evidence of like a struggle that had occurred in the car or any acts of violence as far as forensically speaking. The car was pretty clean. Now it's found about 30 miles from where she lives in College Park, Georgia. Inside the car, they find her purse and her credit card. Those are clues in and of themselves because it does mean that this wasn't likely someone who just wanted to steal her things or they wanted to access her money. They would have taken the credit card. - When law enforcement went out there to God be rogue, they were able to get video surveillance and they were able to actually find when her car was dropped off in the middle of the night, early morning hours, March second into the third. - So you might think, good, here we have it. We can identify the two people case closed while in this particular case, the video is really not usable to identify the two people. Anybody could look at it and say, I have no idea who those two people are. How does this help law enforcement? So they now know, okay, there are at least two people who have something to do with the car. - In the first, I felt I had a funny feeling or that I wasn't getting the attention that I wanted and I needed, but I would always call or be up at the Sheriff Office talking to the detectives and we was out investigating on our own to jump, help bring Tiffany home. We had a search team, it was called searching for Tiffany. We would go out, pass our flyers, just camison all the areas above around here. So her locations of where she's been was out searching and passing our flyers all the time. Day, night, rain, sleep, snow, whatever. I couldn't, I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I couldn't do anything. I was just eager and my spirit would just let me risk. - There was still the hope that she was alive and that was the primary driving force was trying to find her. - Yet another week goes by, there's still no sign of Tiffany and look, Reginald Robertson hasn't been that much help to investigators at this point, but now he claims he has a tip. - Tell me, brother, what's going on? I mean, what, you watch missing, right? - Yeah. - Okay. - And some person named Lisa called, - You said it's a relative. - I've talked to B.com. - Okay, so might be saying that you're told to say that we caused problems just seeing her if they were all involved. - Okay, I did hit the road flying to get up there. - He's speeding up the interstate. He's just like, oh yeah, no, my fiancee's missing and I got a tip that she's been seen and I'm just flying up there to see what the case is. - So there were probably hundreds of tips that law enforcement received during the course of this investigation early on. There were people all over the state of Georgia that said they had seen Tiffany law enforcement to their credit, ran each and every one of those tips down. Every single one of them was a fake lead. - What do you call us and let us know too, so we can. - I just hit the road, my mind was just thinking, you know what, I'm going 15 days, I'm just trying to get there. - No, I understand, I understand. - I don't know anything, I'm just seeing the evidated wave. - Right, right. - I don't hear nothing. - Yeah. - I've got a no-nathering thing. - Yeah, I hear something like that right in the jungle. - That was just, I think, just him coming up with something on the fly that he could say at that moment to tell law enforcement that the reason he was speeding was because he was trying to follow up on a tip. - He's extremely nervous, and he keeps getting defensive, just trying to ask him normal questions. He's also not being very forthcoming with information. - So Tiffany has now been missing for more than three weeks, and this is where we come back around to that March 23rd news conference about Tiffany's disappearance. And this suggests that the case is a lot more urgent than we originally thought. And at one point, there is a reward put forward for information about her disappearance. It goes all the way up to $60,000. - There is some evidence that's been located that would lead one to believe that something has occurred that might have been some time to file played. - You know, you see this type of stuff on TV and you think, you know, that couldn't happen to me, it could. 'Cause I never would have thought I would be here speaking on behalf of my sister. - When was the last time you heard from her? How do you tell her what was that about? - When she left from home, she loved me and her daughter Elm. They haven't seen her enough. Father, we know she was just going to go run errands and do some things, and she's gone, just like that. - His plea on camera is just so disingenuous. This is not the demeanor of someone who is concerned for the well-being or the location of their fiance. This was robotic. It was cold. That, to me, was a huge moment because he didn't want to be there. He was basically kind of coerced into being there by the family. He didn't want to speak. If he doesn't speak, it makes him look even worse. - Following the news conference, investigators request another meeting with Reginald Robertson. And yes, at this point, he seems generally cooperative, but there's something about him that seems off. - Have you spoken with anybody here? Can't believe anything in this? I know you got stopped the other night on the interstate. You said that you've been talking to people and trying to find her. Can you tell me who all you've talked to so that I can try to follow up with all that? - I'm not continuing to talk to her, well, what do you get going on? - What do you get going on? Something's weighing on your whole, Rodinth. - Yeah, I feel like it's not even working with Reginald. - Well, who knows when we're going to want to know? Who is that person? Point me the right way, Reginald. - I think maybe she can plan this on me. - Well, tell me what you think happened to her. - I don't know. I'm thinking if she plans to go on someone and leave someone else on my head and then come back. - What makes you talk to her? - Yeah, I found out that she take off a cup of time. I've never done that. - Who would she go (beep) off with? I made her know. - After the press conference on the 23rd, he starts the conversation, but then he starts to shut down. He starts to be emotional. He walks out into the hallway. He tries to stall. - You said you'd been getting a hold on a trouble. What's out of my mouth? I'm not happy with it. - Speak. - Yeah. - I do it. - Oh, no, no. - I ain't talking no more. I like owner. - What do you want to tell me? - When can we talk again when you get yourself together? - Okay. (phone ringing) - What's wrong, Reggie? Whatever it is, you get it off your chest. I can't tell you you're gonna feel better. You said somebody knows something. You're gonna get in trouble. What is that? (phone ringing) - He literally sits down in the hallway and cries and he doesn't know what to say at this point. (phone ringing) - I ain't gonna give up. And I'm gonna prosecute whoever's involved with it. - Reggie, do you want to talk to me? - No, I can't say. - Can you give me a few minutes in time? - What about me? If you're a hold on a case and you want to do this case. Is somebody threatening you? (phone ringing) - One of the biggest takeaways from that interaction that day was a statement that he makes right before he walks out of the sheriff's office. - I'll see you working, see you. Okay, I'm working for your fiance if you have future wife. If you get yourself in a bind, we'll find you. Okay, and she's well and good. We bring a home to you or you bring a home. I want you to be home with her. I want you to stay home. But if you don't, let us help you. That's not going to happen. That's what to get on this, Reggie. - You know what I mean? - They don't make sure they don't get on. Don't people have to say that? - Listen, don't get on this. Don't get on this. - Reggie, listen to me. We're having a good conversation. (phone ringing) - While this statement is not a confession, it is an admission. You know, you don't tell law enforcement, "Hey, don't hit me with premeditation, "unless you've done something that they could interpret "that you had planned out." - Okay, you might be thinking clearly, Reggie's involved, right? There's something about this guy that's not adding up. But just when it seems like it's obvious, detectives take a step back. And another name enters the picture. And that shifts this case in a different direction. - Something I'm gonna be in trouble for is like, "Is there anything that needs trouble for it?" You're involved in her disappearance, you know. I told this, you didn't know what? - Law enforcement widens the scope of this investigation. Yes, they keep an open mind, but they're starting to consider maybe we'll look at somebody past Reginald Robertson. Maybe someone else had something to do with Tiffany's disappearance. And this is when a new name comes up, a neighbor, Jeremy Walker, somebody who has a prior criminal history, but no obvious connection to this case. - Jeremy was made aware of to us by members of her family and neighbors in the apartment complex that knew who he was, knew the relationship that he and Reggie had. He was kind of a neighborhood mechanic. He worked on cars operating out of his garage. And he lived in very close proximity. Same complex, just one building across and over. - How you doing, Jeremy? - I'm good. You want to talk inside? - I mean, you can, you can, you can't. - Jeremy Walker, he kind of developed a friendship with Reginald. They struck up a friendship about cars and maintaining cars. He is also not unfamiliar with criminal activity. He had some criminal history from out of state. - What's going on? - What? - What means it's like we can keep an eye on this. - Well, the store is short. This case is getting out of control real quick. - She's been gone a real long time? - Yeah, it's, it's, it's hairy. You know, all the flags and all the data and all the, everything that I've ever dealt with in the 30-year community, this will tell me she's most likely dead. Man, that was amazing. - They really looked into, you know, is it possible that Jeremy did something to Tiffany and he is kind of the main person here? - He was talked to multiple times. And initially he dismissed anything. He just hoped that she was okay. And if he could tell us anything, he would. - I knew, no, no, I could have just answered all of them. What has Reggie told you? - I mean, what is Reggie told you? He was in there, he was in bed room. And he's one thing with her mom. And she went out and we did, they had the same sense. - But eventually, that story finally changed in his living room one day. He finally cracked. - Can you move that car? - Everybody else, I was in here. I was caught off of it. - What car? - I can't remember which one out of that. - Where did you drop it off of? - Up by the name. - Yeah, I didn't know him, so I just remembered. The mace on, I'll be pretty sure of you. - Am I any chocolate butter? - Jeremy's a talker. He likes to talk, talk, talk, talk about himself. He plays dumb. And he kind of comes across as this guy who may not be very smart. And here, Here's what he admits to, it's very simple, it's very clean, it's the only thing he admits to. Reggie asked for my help to move her car, and I did it. I don't know anything more. That's really when everything kind of really took a turn and started ramping up. We believe that he had more information to give. We obviously know he's been complicit in the moving of her vehicle after she's reported missing. He alleges he didn't know she was missing. There were some things that were clearly suspicious about this holding counter. He claims that he does not know what happened to her to us. Now that is not what we have been told that he has said to other people. That is not what his own family has told us. He has basically had a number of conflicting stories as well in terms of what he did or did not know. I got a trophy to come by, and I'm going to take you down to office. You're going to make me a ridden statement about what went on the day. Man, you dropped the trophy. I like my head dropped a little bit. We need to go get Reggie's car. He's scared to death. I knew it. I knew it. Got him. I knew he was on the right track. When you and Reggie were talking, I said I haven't mentioned her to anyone else. I've never seen an angry. He's a strange person. I can't tell you that Reggie has never seen an angry man. I can never tell you that Reggie has never seen an angry man. Back at the Sheriff's Office detectives are working to get more information out of Jeremy Walker. In the investigation are working to get more information out of Jeremy Walker. The other reason is that graduates tell a slightly different story than you are. The problem is now that you are a witness in my case. So he was charged with the theft of her vehicle. How do you know him we're dating? I caught a rear handle with the guy okay Tiffany was obviously distraught she told law enforcement that she couldn't tell them anything because he would kill her. He is talking to the officers and is telling them that he caught her cheating on him. She refuses to tell them what happens they're on the scene. They do a cursory search of the vehicle and they don't find a firearm. They're on the side of the road with her unwillingness to cooperate they felt like they didn't have probable cause to make an arrest. Unfortunately they were released from the scene together. Okay we had a county mother of three remains missing and her fiance is now behind bars for the second time in just weeks. Tiffany Foster's fiance Reginald Robertson was taken into custody last night. So far Robertson has not been charged with his fiance's disappearance. However authorities have charged him with kidnapping and aggravated assault. They say those charges stemmed from an incident before the 35-year-old Foster was reported missing. So Robertson is now back in jail under this kidnapping charge. This is related to the November incident and this is now inching the case closer to an arrest for her disappearance. You know that is that where you took Tiffany to the vehicle house that we talked about. Do you tell me you buy and fold is it? I found the hell. It's on the shell, okay. Found everything. Some video will go that stop coming out of there. It's sitting there. I got some mind when we call courage. But we both know what to do about it. We were able to find receipts even from Home Depot for the types of cable ties and zip ties which were later found in the abandoned house that were purchased the day before she was she was kidnapped and taken to that abandoned house. I didn't see it never bye. It's them. The rest of the one without a coat. What I don't know what to do. I have to give that nobody and I've got assault. I put my hand on her and shot the gun at her. I'm shot and got her. I don't know. I don't know. You know what I'm doing. You're going to go in the cold already. I don't know. A killer. I didn't kill no one. Once he was held without a bond on those charges and indicted on those charges, you know law enforcement was working their investigation to try and find her. Pretty sure she would tell her to police that he kidnapped me. He did this and that or whatever it was. No. No one she served was I keep talking to the kill man. Not she did. In that case it's a lot of me all right that in. I agree. If that was the case. I agree. But I had a kid never. Now we have body camera footage of this this traffic stop. It's very painful to watch. You know hindsight being what it is seeing the circumstances. I can only imagine her like say the mind during that time or the feeling she was kind of enduring. It's kind of like saddening to think that okay well you or had a lot of this other stuff on and you didn't feel comfortable. So like tell nobody like that we they love you and cares for you and I gave him a lecture when I met him about you know my daughter I told him if you're not satisfied with her I said do not put your hands on her just leave her and this will he turn around and do. Tiffany's mother Katrina Hill even tells police that Robertson told her about what happened that night months before Tiffany disappeared. Something she didn't fully believe. The kidnapping obviously completely changed the trajectory of this investigation. It is what ultimately allowed us to get him into custody. I have search warrant for your DNA, Rich. They just open your mouth. I like to open my mouth. Don't work it way. Open your mouth. I'm going to be nice about to have a seat. His demeanor and his involvement in conversations obviously was greatly reduced at that point. Right now 250 people are reported missing here in the state of Georgia. Among those missing persons Tiffany Foster. Tiffany Foster has been missing for more than six months. It was a emotional time for kind of everybody to kind of still try to go day day and then not knowing anything and then it's like you're waiting for the next episode and it's you're what you're in it by in this year real life it's not you know it's not a show no one I wrote it. So now he's charged with kidnapping and that was what he was ultimately in jail for up until 2023. Months turning to years this case essentially goes silent. Reginald Robertson is serving time on those other charges not yet convicted. He's still not even charged directly with Tiffany's disappearance. At this point it's still just a missing persons case. Maybe a couple of months later a new detective was assigned to her case. He said let me do my thing and I keep informed. It was a blessing and I was grateful you know that he had put like he had put his heart into you know happiness. You know locate Tiffany to find out what was going on and he just he did just that because he had told me don't worry about it. So I'm gonna he said I might not sleep days I might not eat or whatever but he said this case means a lot to him and he went to work. From the time that I was brought in on this case there had been some frustrations by upper management and the higher-ups at the sheriff's office and in the investigations division with the lack of movement on the case. I literally had to start this case over as though it had just happened where I took a couple of bankers boxes full of documents and CDs and flash drives full of evidence of video and of body camera footage and cell phone data extractions and tower dumps and social media returns to get it all together and form this picture was was really an overwhelming task. My name is Stacy how we're here for the sheriff's office. The only thing I want to talk about with you about is your missing fiance that's it. You just cannot fully understand how confusing this web was to follow initially but when you take out the the unknowns I can put together a timeline of what I can prove. Reggie's phone was in my opinion that was the gold mine that really put everything into perspective. Tiffany's cell phone was never recovered so we were able to see her communications through his cell phone. He would send her these voice memas. I don't know how to keep managing it but I keep holding my cool with you. But at some point it's going to be a breaking point. You keep poking me and poking me and poking with you. Thank go hell. Reggie was clever in deleting messages that he had sent between he and Tiffany. He did not delete the audio files which were stored somewhere else. We were able to look back at some of those messages around the time of the kidnapping incident and kind of in the interim as he starts to realize she's going to leave and that she might actually be serious this time. He loved bombs her and is trying to convince her of you know the rightness of their relationship and she's just not she's not there for it. I don't know where we had it right now. I'm really not even focused on this relationship. I'm just pretty much trying to get all my shit together. So that in the event that we don't make it I'm not stuck. But I do feel that there's something going on that's why he asked you what's going on with you. Talk to him. It may not be never going on with anyone else with you if anything happens or you end up leaving with somebody else saying that we're ready to You don't take me up, you don't come all to me. Just don't do that, please don't do that. I'm not gonna stick around for you ever wasting my (beep) (beep) - You know what I'm saying, I'm like, I love you. I'm like, I've been in love, never been in love like this before. - This relationship is toxic. It's toxic because of you making it toxic. When I talk to you for taking it like that overnight, but I say, well, you really, you really did since you got way aware of everything. Now, you say rate, okay, rate. - That's where law enforcement learned that he had raped her just prior to her disappearance because they actually were able to see where she texted him, you know, the following morning and said, I told you no, you took it anyway. - Baby's major tape, I'll wear it. And I tell you, no, I'm calling it, it is. He is ill-free, okay, hurry. - He admitted to Tiffany that he had raped her. Well, that's a confession. - The additional charges of rape and murder and the financial transaction card, frauds and thefts and such that was added to him in 2023. Once we really start to piece everything together. - So many things had to come together to get to this point in 2023 years after Tiffany disappeared. - We know that he's in possession of her vehicle after she's reported missing. You know, we have his own family who has seen him in this vehicle. We have some of those family members who are terrified of this man. We know that he does not report her missing. We are able to basically poke holes into each aspect of his story. She completely disappeared from the face of the earth, doesn't have any activity on her credit reports. Every account, every bit of activity ceased in February, March, 2021. You can't disappear to that degree. - The case comes back around to Jeremy Walker and what his actual involvement was in Tiffany's disappearance. - Jeremy and Reggie, they weren't seen on video at an ATM machine using Tiffany's card. That's bad news. We also learned that Jeremy was with Reggie going to hardware stores buying a shovel and bolt cutters. - Jeremy Walker, he was involved in making calls regarding woodchippers and tools and getting some of the means and mechanisms that we believe Reginald used to, you know, in part conceal Tiffany's body. He was obviously involved in the taking and moving of Tiffany's core. He was certainly involved, but there was absolutely no evidence that he thought it up or that he acted alone. That was 100% Reginald's role. - According to him, she was talking to other men and communicating with other men and he was jealous. He intimated that there was infidelity on her part and that that was a problem in the relationship. And in his mind, Reggie's mind is probably thinking, well, if I paint this picture and anything happens to her, it's gonna be easy for people to believe she ran off or she's with some other man, she just disappeared. No big deal, nothing to see here, move along. - We also had a great number of people come forward in the jail, they volunteered to talk to us to say, hey, I'm in the pod with this guy, this is what he told me. All of them had the same common denominator, she was dead and she wasn't coming back. We had all the elements of these crimes here, including murder, even though we did not have her body. - Reginald Robertson is officially hit with 10 counts of criminal charges. He is facing a possible life sentence, if convicted. As for Jeremy Walker, he's facing his own charges of concealing a death of another and theft. Years, after Tiffany's disappearance, the trial for both of these men begins. Now, no cameras in the courtroom. - Been in the courtroom. I was nervous, Cal State County, Sheriff's Office did do their job. I was overwhelmed and was grateful and happy about they finally got him because he felt that he was a man. He's a mastermind. - 100% I mean, without question, hands down the most complex case I have ever tried. We went into the case, not having any doubt that the jury would believe Tiffany was deceased. You never know for sure if they're going to believe that he killed her, Reginald's half brother came in and testified he was able to unequivocally tell the jury that within days of her disappearance, Reginald was driving her car around. Reginald looked him dead in the eye and said she's never coming back. And the jury got to hear that. - I have to say there's a weird twist to this because early on in the investigation, detectives learned from Robertson's half brother that his own mother was killed when he was young, that she got into some sort of altercation with a woman and she ended up getting stabbed. - I think we all kind of agree that it's just not likely that he could have killed her in the apartment and then gotten her body into her vehicle without being seen by anybody. But as far as how she was killed, I don't know. There have been times in talking with his cousin. He tells his cousin that he shot her. Robertson's cousin testifies that Robertson allegedly confided in him, confessed to him that he tays Tiffany until she fell unconscious, taped her up, drove her to an undisclosed location and then shot her in the head with her own gun. - What hit me the hardest and really broke me down was when Reggie's cousin got on the stand and he told us what Reggie told him, he had beat the Tiffany and when that man was talking, it was, I could feel it through me and I was like, this man is not lying. - This really was a totality of the circumstances situation. In the early stages of the investigation, you have to go down every possible rabbit hole. There does come a point where you can say, okay, now it's just not reasonable to believe anything else other than he killed her. And starting with the lower Fayette Lower Road incident and with everything that built after that and all the evidence that was compiled together, that's the only logical conclusion. - Defense counsel argued there just wasn't enough evidence to prove Robertson's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt that he was allowed to use her car and her debit card that there was no proof of the government's theory that a wood shipper was used to dispose of a body and that there were no witnesses connecting Walker to Tiffany's disappearance. - This prosecution team was well prepared with the right evidence to present all of this evidence to a jury for two weeks to ask that he be convicted on all of these charges. - Following that two weeks of testimony in more than 50 witnesses taking the stand and given the overwhelming amount of circumstantial evidence in this case, it takes this jury just six hours to come back with the decision. - As the defendant, Reginald Robertson, Calvin one came down. Count two, Bartolary and the first degree. Count three, aggravated assault. Count four, false imprisonment. Count five, rain. Count six, malice murder. Way to jury find the defendant guilt. - Yes! - Count seven, concealing the death of another. Count eight, financial transaction card fraud. Count nine, death by taking. And count ten, forgery in the first degree. As the defendant Walker, he conceding the death of another. Way to jury find the defendant's not guilty. Bell by taking. Way to jury find the defendant's guilty. - It was really nerve-wracking. My anxiety was through the roof. The court room was quiet. It was like a real intense situation. You can cut it with a knife and then trying to keep your composure through all the counts. And so just hearing those words, finally feeling like she got her voice back. - I wanted to weep to be perfectly honest. When the jury verdict came in, the sense of relief and vindication in the belief that we had about this case and about this investigation is really overwhelming. Being able to hug Katrina at the end of that trial, knowing that if nothing else, the person who hurt her child is going to spend the rest of his life in a cage. That at least is something. After four years of unanswered questions, Reginald Robertson is found guilty on all 10 charges, including murder. And meanwhile, Jeremy Walker, he's also found guilty of a lesser charge for his role in helping to abandon Tiffany's car in this Atlanta parking lot. Now the jurors who spoke with the media after this closed-door trial, they said that it was Robertson's behavior in court that helped guide their decision, that he allegedly even stared them down in court, which apparently left them unsettled. And if I give one more sentence to the caucus, then I'll count one sentence into five and bruise without possibility of change. Jeremy Walker is sentenced to ten years in prison, and Reginald Robertson is sentenced to three consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole plus 80 years. This has been a very trying time for me. He didn't just take away the sister. He took away a mother and a daughter in a month. To go these four years, not knowing where she was, is like a cloud has been lifted off of us today. I appreciate the answer. I'm Tiffany's older son. I basically had to go four years growing without my mother. I'm not really happy about the very. I would be more happy knowing where my mom is. We are close in terms of finding where she is, but that we've even been told that Reggie will go as far as to eat a body to make sure that law enforcement doesn't locate it. So, you know, it's one of those scenarios where we're never going to stop looking. I don't think that there's any likelihood that Reginald is ever going to tell anybody because I firmly believe for him, this is all about power and control, and knowing where she is, knowing exactly what happened to her is the last bit of control that he has over her. You give people grace sometimes and be aware. The last of it I see nowadays, including with my sister's story, I feel like people aren't aware. Like I say, intention of knowing who you're speaking with, knowing about the person. And then everybody, no one wants to be anyone's business anymore. It's okay to be in the business because it could save your life. We want everyone to know that Tiffany is still missing, and if anyone knows her or say or see something, they need to contact law enforcement. You know, I want closure, and to me that would be closure to lay my eyes on my child. And I know we're going to find her and bring her home. It's just, you know, it's all good time. And so, we're going to bring her home. [Music] Imagine setting your makeup, then forgetting it's even theirs. Meet new grippy setting mist from Mabelie, New York.
