Tisa Gantt, 36 and living in Titusville, Florida, was last seen on January 7, 2007. Before she disappeared she reported being sexually assaulted by a man named Edwin Deon Morris and told authorities she feared retaliation; Morris was later identified as a person of interest but has not been charged in connection with her disappearance and is serving a prison sentence for unrelated offenses.

No trace of Gantt surfaced until 2010, when her purse was found in a ditch near W.C. Stafford Street with belongings still inside and weeds growing through it. Searches of the area at that time and during later follow-ups turned up no additional clues. Investigators revisited searches near Morris’s former property several times, most recently in 2021, and say they received credible tips but located no new evidence.

The case remains open and unresolved; family members have expressed frustration and believe others may have information. If anyone knew Tisa, saw her in Titusville around January 2007, or has information about the purse or people who might have been involved, please come forward.
