In this compelling episode of The Tom Gulley Show, we revisit one of Florida's most haunting cold cases—the disappearance of Tiffany Sessions.On February 9, 1989, 20-year-old University of Florida finance major Tiffany Louise Sessions left her Gainesville apartment for an evening power walk and was never seen again. Dressed in red sweatpants, a long-sleeved white Aspen sweatshirt with gray stripes, Reebok sneakers, and wearing a distinctive gold Rolex watch while carrying a black Walkman, she vanished near a wooded trail in southwest Gainesville. The subsequent investigation triggered the largest search effort in Florida history, yet her whereabouts remain unknown. Despite exhaustive efforts by law enforcement, her devoted family—particularly parents Patrick and Hilary Sessions—and the community, Tiffany's case endures as an unsolved abduction. As of early 2026—approaching 37 years since she went missing—the Alachua County Sheriff's Office confirms the case is still active and open. Tips continue to come in, though sporadically, and recent interviews with Tiffany's family highlight their unwavering hope for closure, even as her remains have never been located. Host Tom Gulley examines the timeline, key evidence, investigative challenges, the emotional toll on her loved ones, and why this true crime mystery continues to captivate and demand attention.

In this episode of The Tom Gulley Show, Tom Gulley examines the Hays Code, the set of moral guidelines that governed Hollywood films from the early 1930s through the late 1960s and fundamentally shaped American cinema.

The legacy of the Hays Code continues to shape debates over artistic freedom, censorship, and media regulation in the modern entertainment industry. thetomgulleyshow.com
