The Council on Criminal Justice has estimated
there was an 8% increase in domestic violence incidents
in the United States
following the pandemic stay-at-home order,
while the Las Vegas Metro Police Department reported a 12% spike in domestic violence calls.
One woman's kind gesture to a co-worker in need led to a whirlwind pandemic lockdown relationship
and later tragically resulted in her murder. Her murderer remains at large, and her family
needs your help to secure justice for Tiffany and ensure he faces the consequences of his actions.
Hi, and welcome to Sins and Survivors, a Las Vegas true crime podcast where we focus on cases that deal with domestic violence.
I'm your host, Sean, and with me, as always, is the one and only John.
I am the only John in the room.
All right, before we get into the case, I want to take a minute and thank Haley Gray for her research on this case. Haley shared this information about what we're going to talk about in this episode
with other podcasts to really spread the word about this case. Haley is part of the team behind
True Crime Podcast Training. So if you're listening and thinking about starting your
own podcast or maybe becoming a podcast researcher, you should look into their course.
The True Crime Podcasting Training course was really helpful to us.
It definitely helped me understand just how many places there are out there to help with
researching podcasts, things like court records, newspaper archives, things that I didn't even
know existed before.
So we both definitely recommend that for podcasters or podcast researchers.
And you can find them at truecrimepodcasting.com.
This episode today is about Tiffany Booth, who was reported missing from Las Vegas on October 5th,
2020, and later was unfortunately found tragically murdered. And John, even though we
live here in Las Vegas, and unlike the other cases we've
discussed so far on Sins and Survivors, I do not remember hearing about this case firsthand. I
actually learned about it because some of the podcasts that Haley shared her research with
discussed what had happened to Tiffany. But before that, I had never heard of it. And actually,
one of the complaints of Tiffany's family was that there was not a lot of media coverage
when Tiffany was first found to be missing. And I just want to say that that's why we are doing
this episode because we need to bring more attention to these cases and cases in Nevada
and Las Vegas, especially ones like these that have a domestic
violence component.
And I actually found out about this case from you after you learned about it.
I remember us wondering at the time why, what was going on?
Were we just not paying attention?
Was there not enough news media coverage or what was going on?
Part of it definitely was that I had been off Facebook for a while at that point. And I don't
think we were watching the news very consistently, even though it was during the pandemic.
Yeah, I think so.
It's also really surprising to me that since this happened in late 2020, kind of during the height
of the COVID pandemic, during the second wave, I guess it was, and we still didn't hear about it.
I'm not really sure why that is, because what else were we doing besides streaming Netflix content? Regardless, though, with cases like this one,
where we have a very strong suspect who has simply disappeared, just like Tabitha Tozzi's case that
we covered last week, it's so important to get the word out about what happened to get the murder
suspect, Eduardo Clemente in this case, get his face out there
so people know to look for him. Just like Nate Sanchez last week, Tiffany's murderer is out there
and he needs to be brought in. Yeah, absolutely. I agree with you that, you know, Tiffany disappeared
in October of 2020. And yeah, that was the height of COVID. And she unfortunately may have just been
lost in the shuffle of other news
with everything else that was happening at that time. To start us off, I'll just share some
background information on who Tiffany was. So Tiffany was born on June 11th, 1985, making her
35 years old when she disappeared. Tiffany was an extremely family-oriented person. She moved to
Las Vegas in 2019 from San Antonio, Texas, specifically to help out her mom, Judy. Her mom
was having some health issues, and Tiffany stepped up to be there for her. And the two of them shared
a condo in Vegas. And to me, this sounds like a very Vegas story.
That's true.
A lot of people end up moving here because their family members have moved here.
Your family, your entire family basically moved here because you were here.
And for me, my mom moved here about 18 months ago.
So that's really typical.
And one of the things her family has said about Tiffany is that she was the glue that
held them together.
And to me, this really highlights what her loss means to everyone around her. Tiffany was an
animal lover. She had a beloved cat called Fluffy Kitty that of course she adored. She was a Seattle
Seahawks fan. And according to her family, she was extremely caring. I mean, I think that shows
with her relocating her life to be here for her mom.
But she was always looking out for others and helping people out.
And as a result, her family has said that Tiffany could be vulnerable potentially to manipulation because she had such a good heart and she was just a very trusting person.
Tiffany worked in IT. She was interested in Disney, genealogy,
and true crime. And she loved playing board games with her family late into the night.
She was also great with kids and hoped to work with children one day.
One story that has been shared is that Tiffany was amazing with Angelina's son who has autism.
Angelina mentioned that her son used to struggle with his breathing treatments and hated wearing his mask.
Tiffany also had asthma, important for later in the story.
And she would send him pictures of herself doing the same treatments.
And she would say, see, grownups have to do this, too.
And then she also would show him how to use his mask very patiently.
Yeah, it sounds like she was just such a loving person. And I know that her family
is in a lot of pain after what happened to her. Tiffany having asthma became a major concern once
the pandemic hit. In March of 2020, Judy, her mom contracted COVID and to avoid putting Tiffany's health at risk.
Judy moved in with Judy's boyfriend and Tiffany stayed at the condo by
herself.
Well,
fluffy kitty was there with her too.
And around the same time,
her coworker,
Eduardo Clemente,
he approached Tiffany with a bit of a pity play, maybe. So he lies to her and
claims that he doesn't have a place to stay because his sister tried to kill him. He didn't
even have a sister, but this was the story he came up with. And he asked to stay with Tiffany
on her couch, and Tiffany let him move in as her roommate. And at first, they were just living
together as friends and roommates. Tiffany would refer to Eduardo as her roommate. And at first they were just living together as friends
and roommates. Tiffany would refer to Eduardo as her roommate to her mom, friends and family,
et cetera. But she didn't even say to her family that she was living with a guy. She would just say
my roommate. And their relationship, Eduardo and Tiffany's relationship, changed around July of 2020, and they became more than roommates.
I think we all remember how weird things were during the summer of 2020.
We weren't even really beyond the initial outbreak yet, and we weren't even doing those things where we would meet up in parks 50 feet apart to talk to each other. So I can sort of
see how a relationship that started in the midst of all that in the middle of lockdown, such as it
was, could become intense really quickly. One of the things I know that you taught me was that
domestic violence rates increased during that period of the pandemic. When you think about
the incredibly high rate of unemployment, which was honestly much worse here in the Las Vegas area, and took a lot longer to go back down when the pandemic ended, if you add in the isolation, I've kind of always suspected that the domestic violence rate here might have increased a bit more than it did in other places. So later in September, Tiffany started telling her friends and some of her family about Eduardo,
but she still kept it from her mom at that point. Tiffany confided in her cousin Angelina
and said things about Eduardo and referred to him as a teddy bear, and that she's never felt
that sway before, and even referred to him as her Prince Charming. Angelina has said in retrospect
that Tiffany was absolutely being love-bombed, but at the time, as she told John Walsh on In Pursuit, she said,
Eduardo, quote, seemed like a perfect fit, unquote.
And this is another thing that I've learned from you, is that it's a very common pattern for abusers to use love-bombing as a way to ingratiate themselves with people. They'll shower the person with all that love and affection and get them hooked, which is another form of manipulation through giving that affection.
And it seems like the men who do this always know how to pick their love bomb target somehow.
Yeah, for sure. I remember when we were discussing this case, and you heard some of those details
about how fast the relationship worked and what Tiffany was saying about Eduardo.
And you said, oh, that's love bombing like right away.
Yeah.
Yeah, it absolutely was.
Another thing I want to mention is that there's a YouTube channel that we really love called Pop Culture Detective.
They write and present long form essays on YouTube that examine different things in, as you'd expect, pop culture.
We'll include a link to
their YouTube channel in the show notes for you so you can check them out. They did one in 2018
called Stalking for Love, which talks about the trope of the persistent man who won't take no for
an answer. So this sort of thing seems really innocuous or even endearing when it's in a movie
like 51st States, that's a really particularly egregious one, or 10 Things I Hate About You, but it's really insidious.
And I'd argue that this type of behavior really fits into that category. I think that video essay
is like 20, 23, 25 minutes long, and it's well worth a listen. It'll be in the show notes. We'll
include it there. So according to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, when we're talking about love bombing, love bombing is absolutely a form of emotional abuse.
When we're talking about love bombing, we aren't talking about little nice things or gestures that
a person you're dating might do for you, like fixing your coffee to go in the morning. We're
talking about someone who is violating your boundaries, which can be a sign of an unhealthy relationship or abuse.
So the DV hotline lists these four signs of love bombing. Number one is someone saying
that you're their soulmate or very early, I love you's. When you haven't known that other person
very long, this can feel very off-putting. So go with your gut if you're hearing these kinds of things.
Number two, exaggerated compliments.
Not just, you look nice today, but really big statements like, my life would be nothing
without you, or there's no one more perfect than you.
Number three is gifts.
And again, these will be excessive gifts, gifts given when there's no occasion for a gift,
or just over the top, expensive, or that maybe cross a line, such as if the gift creates some
kind of reliance on the other person, like they start paying your rent or your car payment.
Maybe they take you on extreme high-end vacations or buy you luxury items. Or if there's like a stipulation attached to the gift
where they might do like a quid pro quo, like, oh, I paid your phone bill, so don't ignore my calls.
Or four, communication overload. And of course, when you meet someone, maybe you talk often or
like for long periods of time because you're just enjoying learning more about each other but when the communication becomes overwhelming that's another sign you
can look for so this is one of those areas where i think it's important as parents to have these
conversations with our male children about this the idea that this gets normalized in pop culture
and memorialized in movies this happens all all the time. So it's really important
that this be pointed out to our male children and have it explained to them and explain to them why
this is just not acceptable. All the stuff you mentioned there, the excessive gifts,
the wild compliments, the I love yous, and the communication all make my spidey senses just
tingle. They just skeeve me out. But I've
also made a ton of my own mistakes in this regard, and it would have been nice if this
had been explained to me when I was a bit younger. This isn't stuff you're born knowing. You just
have to fumble your way through it. The darker side of that, of course, is when you're 38 years
old, and you should know better better and you do most likely know
better and you know exactly what you're doing and you prey on someone specifically using these
techniques. Tiffany expressed to family in a group chat that her mom wasn't in, how she was
head over heels for Eduardo, that they were already talking about marriage. Now, remember,
they've been living together under extreme circumstances,
maybe four or five months at this point,
and only dating maybe two months.
And Tiffany is mentioning how Eduardo and her
want to have a Star Wars-themed wedding.
So that actually sounds awesome.
And it sounds like Tiffany was really taken in
by Eduardo at that point.
On September 27th, Tiffany and Eduardo had dinner with Tiffany's mom, Judy.
And that was the first time that Judy had ever met Eduardo.
Tiffany finally came clean about her relationship with Eduardo to Judy and told her that it was serious.
Judy said she found Eduardo to be normal, nice, and highly intelligent.
But she thought he seemed secretive due to a lack of information about his family.
On Thursday, October 1st, Judy received a text from Tiffany's phone number telling her that she, Tiffany, needed to leave her condo because her asthma was acting up and being aggravated by marijuana smoke coming through
a neighbor's vents. She said that she and Eduardo would be staying in Boulder City.
So you and I, Sean, live about 25-30 minutes from Boulder City, and like close enough that I can
ride my bike there. And Boulder City is great. I love it. They have cool restaurants like Cornish Pasty and cool bars like
Beer Zombies and a really cool hotel like the Boulder Dam Hotel that has a speakeasy in the
basement. So if you're going there for the day or for an overnight from Henderson, that's definitely
not weird at all. Yeah, it could be a really great time and a nice way to get out of the
bigger city of Las Vegas. So I agree with you.
I think that that's a completely understandable thing that two people might do when they're
feeling kind of like they need to get out of their condo, just get away for a little bit.
Tiffany told her employer that she wouldn't be coming into work on that Friday, October 2nd,
saying that they'd return home that day, but she wouldn't be back
to work until Monday, October 5th. She also made plans to have dinner with Judy on Sunday, the 4th.
Judy seemed to be pretty suspicious from the beginning, trying to contact Tiffany by text
on Thursday. Her friends have also said that it was strange that Judy didn't hear back because she and Tiffany were always in close contact.
And weirdly, during that time, Tiffany was active on social media, but she wasn't liking or commenting, which was very strange.
Yeah, the family thought it was odd that Tiffany wasn't answering their texts, but they've said they didn't want to worry too much or get into the worst case scenarios. They seem
to think that Tiffany and Eduardo, they were in a new relationship. Possibly they even eloped,
which I guess is not out of the realm of possibility. But the family also noticed that
during this time, these few days, they only received texts from Tiffany. No one had spoken to her on the phone.
So Judy had access to the security cameras at Tiffany's condo. So she could log in and see that Tiffany's car was gone. And she noticed that the security footage from September 29th,
September 30th, and October 1st had all been manually deleted. So this kind of made her concerned about
what's going on. And as we mentioned, Tiffany was the glue of her family and friends,
and she was in several group chats, including a group of friends that she had from San Antonio.
And this group of friends noticed that on October 3rd and 4th, that Tiffany's location
showed that she was in Idaho,
which of course was very strange. They did not understand why she would be in Idaho.
Idaho is a seven and a half hour drive from Las Vegas, about 500 miles and definitely nowhere
near Boulder City. And location services on your phone just don't lie. We talked two weeks ago
about the dangers of air tags for stalking and the
misuse of location tracking, but in this case, it was absolutely crucial to figure out what had
happened, as well as to finally discovering Tiffany's ultimate fate. On Monday, October 5th,
both Tiffany and Eduardo had not returned to work, which was very unusual for Tiffany.
Despite attempts to contact them, no one could reach either of them.
So, obviously, Judy was concerned, so she started texting Tiffany about the cat, Fuzzy Kitty, to see if the cat was okay and if she needed help with the cat, and again received no response. So this really made Judy
even more worried, because Tiffany would never leave without setting up proper care for her cat
and responding to questions about her kitty. So given that, Judy and her boyfriend decided to
investigate by going to Tiffany's condo, and really alarmingly, they discovered that there
was no food or water for Fuzzy Kitty, and also none of Tiffany's belongings were gone, which was really concerning because they had allegedly gone to Boulder City and probably would have taken something.
And even worse, Judy found Tiffany's asthma medication in her apartment, which was ostensibly the reason that they left in the first place, because her asthma was acting up. So very strange
she wouldn't have taken that with her. And on top of that, she did not take her laptop, which was
very odd for her. So at that point, on the same day, Monday, October 5th, Judy reported both Tiffany
and Eduardo as missing persons, because remember, at that point, everyone thought they were together
and they were both missing. And this prompted an investigation by Las Vegas Metro missing persons
detectives. Initially, some members of Tiffany's family felt that the response from the detectives
was inadequate, and I don't doubt that at all. Despite the family expressing their concerns and
the belief that something was seriously wrong, the police seem to dismiss this situation and adopt the attitude that, well, she's a grown woman, she can do what she wants, and if she wants to come back, she'll come back.
And I feel like this is something you hear of all too often in these cases. missing, the family calls the police because they know something's wrong, and either the police refuse to open a missing persons case until a certain number of hours have passed, or the police
don't investigate vigorously, typically with some variation on the excuse that the alleged person
is an adult and they can go where they want, which is true, but no one knows that person better than
their family. What gets lost in those cases when those get opened is that the families are telling the police that this is really unlikely for this person and they need to be treated as a missing person.
But they're just often ignored.
The statistics we were able to find out about how many missing persons reports are filed in Las Vegas each year were varied.
Las Vegas Metro Police Department says they receive 10 missing adult reports every day,
more than 300 a month. And that is just the adults. Without a doubt, that number would put a huge strain on resources. And while I respect that without evidence of harm or Tiffany being in danger, I understand the police point of view that they wanted to keep waiting.
Another source mentioned that there are 8,000 missing juvenile reports made every year across the state of Nevada.
So the majority of those would be in the Las Vegas area because that's where about 75% of the state's population resides in the Clark County,
Las Vegas area. So based on that, I'm estimating that would be another 500 missing kid reports
each month that the police are dealing with on top of the adult reports.
So those statistics are just bananas to me. I find it so hard to believe that 800 people
go missing a month here. And it kind of explains why they're hesitant to chase down every lead
about every missing person. So I do get that. The next day, the police did end up going to the
condo, but apparently somehow didn't find anything suspicious, including the things we mentioned earlier.
I'm not really sure how her asthma medication being left behind wasn't considered suspicious.
Also that same day, Tiffany's Facebook was shut down, which shocked the family, but was obviously very painful knowing how much of her personal information in the form of posts and photos had just been lost.
Another friend of Tiffany's named Bree arrived in Las Vegas on October 7th and started assisting Judy and Tiffany's cousin, Angelina, in investigating what had been going on.
They were able to get into Tiffany's bank account and see her bank information to see where her card was being used,
and it turns out that it had been used on October 6th in Twin Falls, Idaho to buy food and gas.
They started looking into Eduardo and found that he had several aliases and dozens of social media accounts that used his same picture, but with the name Daniel Trent. Judy and Tiffany's Aunt Mindy
also found materials in the condo to make fake IDs that apparently belonged to Eduardo and even
found one of the fake IDs he'd created. So Tiffany's cousin Angelina has started a Facebook
page to raise awareness about what they thought at the time was the disappearance of Eduardo and Tiffany. So when they felt that what the police had told them
was inadequate,
maybe the police weren't working hard enough,
Angelina went to social media,
built this Facebook page
and started spreading the word
about her missing cousin, Tiffany
and Tiffany's boyfriend, Eduardo.
So family and friends,
they teamed up on this Facebook page
to share photos and information and to try and locate the couple. So as a result of all of these
efforts, on October 7th, Angelina got a text from a friend who lives in Ely, Nevada. And this text
said, quote, is this Eduardo, unquote. And the friend included a photo. And it was Eduardo. It turned out this friend's neighbor had found
Eduardo sleeping in her yard. He had a wagon with computer stuff and was calling himself Daniel.
He was crying a lot and he went with another pity play like he had with Tiffany, claiming his mom
had died and that he was on a spiritual walk from Idaho to Henderson, Nevada. Just for context,
that's 700 miles. So if you walked for 12 hours a day, that's a trip that would take you at least
two weeks. This part of the story is really bizarre to me. Ely has a very small population
of less than 4,000 people, and it's quite a drive north until you realize that Eduardo has had ties to Ely in the past.
By the time this tip came through to Tiffany's family, it was too late because the family whose lawn he slept on had already given him a ride to Henderson.
So he was gone.
And that was the last credible sighting of Eduardo that we know about. The next day, October 8th, Tiffany's car is found abandoned
near Ely by two police officers who happen to be off duty and hunting in the area. The police
officers, they noted the car had no license plates and they found a receipt from a Twin Falls,
Idaho Walmart showing the purchase of survival gear or camping gear on October 3rd.
And when they pulled the surveillance footage from that transaction, it was definitely Eduardo,
but Tiffany wasn't with him. The police decided to have the car towed so they could perform a more
thorough search. And then on October 10th, they executed a warrant to search Tiffany's condo. They find
aspirated blood spatter on one of the door frames and a powder on the carpet that they believe is
carpet cleaner, as if someone had cleaned up. There were also several rolls of saran wrap,
which the police suspected may have been used to wrap a wound to stop the bleeding.
At this time, the detectives finally believed that Tiffany had been the victim of a homicide.
Then, on October 11th, they execute a search warrant on Tiffany's car and they discovered a GPS tracker that had been placed on it.
Eduardo's bank statements showed the purchase of a GPS tracker in early September of 2020.
According to Tiffany's family, they believe Eduardo installed the trackers out of jealousy to monitor Tiffany's whereabouts.
This also brings us back to the last episode where we talked about people using AirT tags to stalk people they're in relationships with. Air tags didn't exist back then, but I have no doubt that if they did, Eduardo would have been
using an air tag for this purpose. It turns out, though, that Eduardo had inadvertently left the
GPS tracker on Tiffany's car when he dumped the car, so of course the detectives requested the GPS data for the specific days in the past week.
The data revealed that on September 30th and October 1st, the GPS tracker still attached to the car traveled north on US 95 to the desert southwest of Indian Springs, which is approximately 45 miles from Las Vegas.
The tracker stayed in the desert for a period of time before eventually
leaving the area. Following this GPS data, the detectives went into the desert and discovered
Tiffany's body. She was found wrapped in a blanket and plastic just over a rocky ravine.
The GPS tracker that Eduardo had placed on the car became a map to locate Tiffany's remains ultimately.
And it was later revealed that Eduardo had previously lived in Indian Springs,
so he is familiar with the area. The autopsy determined that Tiffany had died from blunt
force trauma. On October 28th, Eduardo was officially announced as a suspect and charged
with her murder as well as vehicle theft and using a
bank card without consent. A few weeks after Tiffany's murder, a co-worker of hers and
Eduardo's came forward to provide information to the police. According to the co-worker,
Tiffany had confided in him before her death, revealing that Eduardo was mentally abusive.
Eduardo would belittle her,
make her feel worthless, and at times physically shove her. I don't know what the co-worker may
have said in response to Tiffany when she came forward with this information to him,
but I think this is a good time just to say that if this happens to you,
to do your best to listen and empathize with your colleague or friend. And if you feel it's
appropriate, remind them about the domestic violence hotline, the national hotline, or your
local hotline, and any resources that maybe your work, your employer offers that could be helpful,
like an EAP program or another mental health resource. And then you can ask your colleague
what they want to do and how you can be supportive.
But this same coworker recounted that he received a butt dial from Eduardo at 4.26 a.m. on September
30th. And during the accidental call, the coworker could hear arguing and yelling,
and Eduardo repeatedly stating, quote, he wanted the truth, unquote. And as the argument intensified,
the call abruptly ended, leaving the co-worker concerned for Tiffany's safety.
Tiffany's family shared with investigators that the couple was apparently arguing due to
communication from one of Tiffany's ex-boyfriends. Eduardo's extreme jealousy prohibited Tiffany from interacting with other men.
So based on this collective information, Las Vegas Metro detectives reconstructed the events
leading to Tiffany's death, and the conclusion they reached is that on the morning of September
30th, an intense argument erupted between Eduardo and Tiffany concerning her past relationships.
The confrontation escalated into a physical altercation, resulting in Eduardo murdering Tiffany.
Tiffany was cremated and her remains were interred alongside her grandparents,
a gesture that had significant emotional importance for the family.
On November 19th, authorities held a press conference to announce that Eduardo was still being sought, with the possibility that he was hiding potentially in remote areas such as
the mountains in northeastern Nevada, particularly near the Ruby Mountains near Ely, Nevada,
and possibly into Idaho. Judy, Tiffany's mother, appealed to Eduardo during the conference,
urging him to surrender for the sake of closure for both
families. Following the issue of the arrest warrant, the FBI joined efforts to locate Eduardo.
Due to his IT background, investigators noted that Eduardo had skillfully covered his digital
tracks, and they believed he had also altered his physical appearance, potentially losing as much as
150 pounds, to make identification more challenging.
The police emphasize that he is dangerous and trying extremely hard to avoid being brought in.
As of today, November 2023, he is still at large. Eduardo Clemente, who may be using an alias
Daniel Trent, is a white male, 6 feet 2 inches. At the time he was last seen, he weighed approximately
375 pounds, but however is noted, he could have lost up to 150 pounds since then. He could be
hiding in plain sight in communities of people experiencing homelessness or really anywhere
in Nevada, Idaho, or Montana. Crime Stoppers is offering a $10,000 reward, and the FBI has added an additional $10,000
reward for information leading to his arrest. Anyone with information about him is asked to
call Las Vegas Metro Homicide at 702-828-3521 or to email homicide at lvmpd.com. If you want to remain anonymous,
contact Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555
or report a tip online at crimestoppersofnv.com.
Of course, we'll share his wanted poster
and all the photos we have
so we can get his face out there
so he can be brought to justice.
And this is why we are doing this episode. We want to assist Judy and Angelina and all of
Tiffany's loved ones in getting justice for Tiffany. Angelina has been quoted as saying,
quote, I absolutely want justice for my beautiful cousin. But at the same time,
it's almost more urgent for me because I don't want him to hurt anybody else.
I don't want another innocent, vulnerable girl to take him in. And you know, now that he's done
what he has done, if he's got to cover his tracks, you know what I mean? Crazy things happen.
Or what if she found out who he was and then what kind of danger is that person in?
And quote, knowing what we've gone through, not for one second would I ever want
anyone else to ever, ever go through this unquote. In June, 2022, Tiffany's family held a celebration
of life for Tiffany. They shared videos of Tiffany dancing and rescuing birds. Judy talked about how
she thinks of her daughter every day and how they used to love going to concerts together and playing bingo at Eastside Cannery, which is now closed.
The family has a GoFundMe that is active.
I know for cases we've covered so far, typically the GoFundMe has closed, but Tiffany's family still needs help.
They are seeking funding to help pay for a billboard in Henderson to get Eduardo's face and information out there, and they have other expenses related to the search
for justice for Tiffany. And now that Tiffany is gone, Judy needs more support from her family
in light of her illness, so they need financial help to travel and support her.
We invite all of you to contribute to their GoFundMe if you can.
And before we go, we want to conclude with
another quote from Angelina. Quote, she was just amazing. I know we say it all the time because
it's really common to romanticize people after they pass away. They're all wonderful. They never
did anything wrong, you know. But the only thing you could say about Tiffany is that she was so kind, just so kind and loving and just giving and genuine.
She was just one of those people that would do anything for you, unquote.
We did communicate briefly with Angelina, and I want to stress that they are desperate for any leads in this case.
