Father Uses Social Media to Find Missing Daughter After 20 Years

Patrick Sessions Launches Official Tiffany Sessions Blog and Outreach
MIAMI & GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
When missing person Tiffany Sessions (http://tiffanysessions.com/) disappeared
from Gainesville without a trace on February 9, 1989, there was no Amber Alert,
no Web sites displaying pictures of missing kids - and no social media to spread
the word across the country with a few keystrokes.

Tiffany Sessions is still missing, her case is still open, and Miami-based real
estate developer-turned missing children advocate, Patrick Sessions, is
leveraging social media tools to help police find missing children and
especially the daughter he last saw when she was 19-years-old and a senior at
the University of Florida. Refusing to give up on his daughter, Sessions is
launching the "Official Tiffany Sessions" Web site on February 9, 2009, the 20th
anniversary of his daughter`s disappearance.

The Alachua County Sheriff`s office will be conducting a press conference on
Monday, February 9, 2009 at 10:00 AM.

"This is still a viable case with several new leads being developed and explored
by members of the Unit. This 20-year anniversary of Tiffany`s disappearance is a
time to remember and recommit ourselves to resolving as many unsolved missing
persons and murder cases as possible," said Alachua County Sheriff Sadie
Darnell, who was originally part of the case in 1989 as the Gainesville Police
Department`s public spokesperson.

A $25,000 reward is being offered by the Sessions family for information leading
to the remains of Tiffany Sessions and the arrest and conviction of the person
or persons responsible for her abduction.

"There was no Facebook when Tiffany was in college. No cell phones to trace her
whereabouts. No MySpace pages to investigate," Sessions says. "I am launching
this Web site in hopes that someone out there knows where Tiffany is or can
offer new leads that will help us find her. We believe social media can play a
vital role in finding missing children everywhere, including Tiffany."

disappearance of a loved one by providing phone numbers and links to missing
persons organizations.
