As investigators worked to piece together what happened, a troubling picture of abuse, control, and danger began to emerge, ultimately leading to a rare “no-body” homicide conviction. But even with justice in the courtroom, Tiffany’s family is still waiting for the chance to bring her home.

Hunting for Answers is a production of the Black Effect
Podcast Network and iHeartRadio. Welcome to Hunting for Answers, a
true crime podcast. I'm your host Hunter, and today we're
highlighting a case that began in Noonan, Georgia, a city
about forty miles southwest of Atlanta. In March of twenty
(00:23):
twenty one, a thirty five year old mother of three
left her apartment to go to the grocery store and
never came back. She was a criminal justice student with
dreams of working in law enforcement, a dedicated mother who
never missed class or work, and in the days that
(00:43):
followed her disappearance, her fiance, the man who reported her missing,
stood in front of news cameras pleading for her safe return.
But as investigators began unraveling the details of her life
and relationship, they found something chilling and a trail of
(01:04):
evidence that pointed to something much darker. This is the
story of Tiffany Foster. Tiffany Nicole Foster was thirty five
years old when she disappeared in the spring of twenty
twenty one. She lived at the Creek Side at White
(01:27):
Oak Apartments on Lake Sideway in Noon in Georgia, a
community in Cowwetta County. Tiffany was a devoted mother of three.
She worked as a security guard at Hello Fresh and
was studying criminal justice at Georgia Military College with a
goal of working in law enforcement. She stood five to two,
(01:52):
weighed about two hundred and twenty pounds, and had black hair.
She often wore short or in wigs. She had hazel eyes,
pierced ears, and distinctive markings, a heart shaped Big Sister
twelve Dash seven Dash ninety seven tattoo on her right
back shoulder, and a large red birthmark stretching from her
(02:16):
back to her left arm. Her loved ones say she
was the kind of person who wouldn't just disappear. March first,
two thousand twenty one, it was a Monday afternoon when
Tiffany left her apartment at the Lakeside Complex in noonan
Prosecutors say she left to run errands. She was last
(02:40):
seen wearing a black body suit that zipped up in
the back, possibly with Nike shorts, at two fifty eight
p m. Her phone was last active north of om
La Jack Boulevard in White Oak, Georgia, and then silence
the next day. March second, Tiffany didn't show up to
(03:03):
class at Georgian Military College. She never missed class, so
her absence stood out. By March fifth, she had missed
several shifts at HelloFresh. Still there had been no sign
of Tiffany, no calls, no texts, no activity. On March eighth,
(03:30):
a full week after she was last seen, her twenty
twenty niece On Ultimon, was found in College Park, about
thirty miles from her home. Inside the car were her purse,
her keys, and her debit card, but her cell phone
was still missing. Three days later, on March eleventh, she
(03:54):
missed a prepaid flight to Texas. Her family knew that
some something terribly wrong must have happened. Tiffany didn't miss work,
she didn't miss school, and most of all, she would
never leave her children behind. The man who reported Tiffany
(04:15):
missing was her fiance, Reginald Robertson. They lived together at
the Lakeside Apartments in Noonan. In the early days of
the investigation, Robertson appeared with Cowata County deputies at a
news conference. He pleaded for Tiffany's safe return, a word
(04:37):
fiance before the storm hit, but as investigators pulled at
the threads of their relationship. A very different picture emerged
November twenty twenty, about four months before Tiffany vanished. According
(04:58):
to prosecutors, Robertson took Tiffany to an abandoned house. He
blindfolded her, he tied her up, and he fired a
gun while she was held there. Investigators later located that
house and testified they found zip ties, a shell casing,
(05:20):
and a bullet hole in the ceiling. And then there
was the nine to one one call. Jurors heard the
recording where Tiffany screamed, Reggie, you're scaring me, Reggie, you
have a gun. In the days leading up to her
disappearance in March twenty twenty one, prosecutors alleged Robertson sexually
(05:45):
assaulted her. This wasn't just a bad relationship. It appeared
more as a pattern of abuse, terror, and control. In
April twenty twenty one, about a month after Tiffany disappeared,
(06:06):
Robertson was first arrested the charge stealing Tiffany's car and
moving it to College Park. On April twenty first, he
was arrested again, this time for kidnapping and aggravated assault
related to the November twenty twenty incident, but it would
(06:30):
be more than two years before the full scope of
the charges came down. On August third, twenty twenty three,
the Cowwedda County Sheriff's Office arrested Reginald Robertson on ten
charges malice murder, felony murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, aggravated assault,
(06:54):
false imprisonment, burglary, concealing the death of another, financial transaction
card theft, and financial transaction card fraud. Investigators said that
evidence indicated Tiffany was deceased, but her remains have never
(07:15):
been found. The trial began in October twenty twenty four
at the Cowwedda County Justice Center and was expected to
run about two weeks. This was a nobody homicide case,
a prosecution where the victim's remains have never been recovered.
(07:38):
Without any remains, there was no autopsy, no confirmed cause
of death, and no remains based forensic evidence, but prosecutors
told the jury they had something just as powerful, a timeline,
a pattern, and an object that would become central to
(07:59):
the case. A burned woodchipper. Investigators discovered a burned, rusted
wood chipper on property connected to Robertson's grandmother in Troop County,
cadaver dog units alerted to the odor of human decomposition
inside the chipper and in the surrounding soil. Next, the
(08:26):
lead investigator, Stacy Beckham, testified that on the day Tiffany vanished,
a man named Jeremy Walker Senior, a co defendant, made
multiple calls to equipment rental companies in Lagrange, Georgia, inquiring
about woodchippers, and investigators found Internet searches on Tiffany's phone
(08:49):
for equipment rental companies and woodchipper rentals. Prosecutors argued that
Robertson was using her phone to search for the very
tool he would use to dispose of her. Traffic camera
footage would contradict Robertson's timeline. Tiffany's car was seen moving
(09:14):
hours after the time he claimed she left the apartment.
Cell Phone records showed that Tiffany's phone disconnected from the
network at four nine a m. On March first. Shortly afterward,
records show that Robertson's and Jeremy Walker Senior's phones pinged
(09:35):
in that same area. The digital evidence did more than
raised dount, It directly undercut Robertson's story. A former inmate,
Curtis Colbertson, testified that while he and Robertson were jailed
together in twenty twenty one, Robertson called someone and told
(10:00):
them to quote put canned goods down a pipe. Hulbertson
believed the food was meant for Tiffany, that she might
still be alive, hidden somewhere, maybe underground. He reported it immediately,
thinking he could help save her. Authority searched the area,
(10:24):
Tiffany wasn't there. Investigators also recovered a handwritten affidavid allegedly
from Robertson, offering his uncle one thousand dollars in exchange
for an alibi in a November twenty twenty incident, and
there was more. Jeremy Walker Senior, the co defendant, was
(10:49):
charged with concealing Tiffany Foster's death. Tiffany's mother, Katrina Hill,
testified that Walker told her Tiffany's never coming back and
Tiffany is no longer with us. The defense argued that
Robertson was innocent, that he had simply been doing yard
(11:12):
work at his grandmother's property. They questioned the cadaver dog
alerts the jailhouse informant and the fact that there was
no body. But the prosecution's case didn't depend on a body.
It depended on a pattern of violence, digital trails, rental inquiries,
(11:35):
and a burned wood chipper found on rural property in
Troop County. On October thirtieth, twenty twenty five, the jury
returned its verdict guilty on all ten counts. He was
sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole
(11:58):
and additional decades behind bars. Jeremy Walker, Sr. Was convicted
of theft by taking and acquitted of concealing a death.
After the verdict, Tiffany's family spoke publicly. Her sister, Kimberly
Bryan said, at least Tiffany has that justice and I
(12:21):
think she got her voice back during this trial. But
even with the verdict, one question remains, where is Tiffany.
Her family is still left without final closure, but they
have not given up hope. They still hope to bring
(12:43):
Tiffany home. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family
and friends of Tiffany Foster. I pray one day they're
able to receive the full closure that they deserve. If
you have any information that could help lead to further
answers in Tiffany's case, Please contact the Cawwedda County Sheriff's Office.

As we close out this episode, remember that sharing Tiffany's
story helps spread awareness and may help guide her family
toward the answers that they still need. It also keeps
the critical conversation going about the realities and dangers of
(13:31):
intimate partner violence. Follow Hunting for Answers for updates on
