Tiffany Smither Osborne, 30, disappeared from her Midfield, Alabama, home after she was last seen on February 17, 2020. Her boyfriend, Cedric Earl Watts Jr., reported her missing two days later and told authorities she had left to walk to a nearby store for cigarettes and never returned. She was the mother of three, including a 3-month-old infant who lived with her and Watts.

On April 1, 2020, a worker cutting grass in Bessemer discovered her body wrapped and concealed under a discarded mattress at the end of an unfinished road known for illegal dumping, about six miles from where she was last seen. Authorities confirmed the remains were Tiffany Osborne’s and opened a homicide investigation.

Investigators later identified the man who had reported her missing as a suspect. In December 2020, Cedric Earl Watts Jr., then 36, was charged with her murder while already jailed on a probation violation; investigators say a heated argument allegedly escalated and that Watts shot Osborne and transported her body to the dumping site. Was anyone in the Midfield or Bessemer area aware of a disturbance or unusual activity around February 17, 2020?
