NEWNAN, Ga. — Nearly eight weeks after a mother of three disappeared from her home, questions remain, as her fiancé has been charged two separate times in crimes "unrelated" to her disappearance.
Tiffany Foster (also known as Tiffany Starks) went missing on March 1, after leaving her home to go shopping. Her fiancé’, Reginald Robertson said she did not return that night and became worried.
Robertson was later arrested for moving Foster’s car. He was arrested a second time for kidnapping and aggravated assault in a crime that took place before Foster’s disappearance. Coweta County Investigator Toby Nix said, “we don’t know at this time,” when asked if the incident Robertson was arrested for involved Foster.
Despite Robertson’s arrests, Nix said they continue to treat Foster’s case as a missing person.
“We’re investigating this as if she’s missing and we’re trying to locate her.”
Nix added they have not received any significant leads that may them think foul play was involved.
“It’s still an active investigation. We’re getting leads and we’re following them,” said Nix.
