Details of Disappearance:

In December 1997, Tiffany Turner vanished from Indianapolis. She was an exotic dancer and had recently canceled plans to marry her boyfriend, David Mays, a member of the Outlaws motorcycle gang. They had a rocky relationship, and Tiffany was trying to break things off.

The last time anyone saw Tiffany was on December 4th, leaving her job. Her car was in the shop, so Mays picked her up. They were seen together at her apartment on December 3rd. Her dog was left outside, chained up, and wasn’t found until three days later.

Her family didn’t report her missing right away because she sometimes took off on trips without telling anyone. But when she didn’t show up for Christmas, they got worried. Her apartment showed no signs of a struggle.

Mays was a person of interest. He was questioned, but denied involvement and refused a lie detector test. He was later charged with racketeering, which included Turner’s murder, but was acquitted. Authorities hope to retry the case.

Despite extensive searches, Tiffany Turner has never been found. She was described as outgoing and independent, and enjoyed the biker lifestyle.
