Four years ago, this young mother disappeared — what happened?

COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Four years after her daughter’s disappearance, a metro Atlanta mother isn't giving up hope.

Lisa Daniels is still trying to figure out what happened to her daughter, Tiffany Whitton.

Whitton is a 27-year-old mother who seemingly disappeared from a Walmart on Cobb Parkway in Marietta in September 2013. She was with her boyfriend, Ashley Caudle, at the time.

Caudle is now in jail on drug-related charges. Investigators searched his home a year after Whitton disappeared, but found no leads.

Even though the leads have dried up, Daniels still has hope.

"Maybe she’s out there, maybe she can see this and will know that we love her and want her home,” Daniels said.

The Marietta Police Department wanted to remind the community that it only takes one person courageous enough to come forward. This is in reference to the recent developments in the case of missing veteran Chase Massner. Investigators believe his remains were found at a home in Kennesaw.

"I know it might be the scary thing to do, but you know it's the right thing to do," Daniels said.

Whitton's case is now a joint investigation between the Marietta Police Department and the Cobb County Cold Case unit.

"The cold case unit has investigators that can continuously work on this case and that's why they seek their assistance," Marietta police detective Michael Selleck said.

Ahead of the fourth anniversary of Whitton's disappearance, her mother hopes for no more uncertainty.

"She's a human being and she deserves to be found," Daniels said.

The family is offering a $2,500 reward for information in the case.

Anyone with information about what might have happened to Tiffany Whitton is asked to call the Cobb cold case tip line at 770-528-3032.
