In 2015, Tiffany, 15, of Mays Landing, New Jersey, was killed by an oncoming train.<\/p>\n
The authorities ruled her death as suicide, however her parents believe that she was in fact murdered, and have worked tirelessly to get to the bottom of their daughter\u2019s death.<\/p>\n
So, what exactly happened to Tiffany Valiante?<\/p>\n
Read on for all the theories surrounding the case of Tiffany Valiante.<\/p>\n
What happened to Tiffany Valiante?<\/strong><\/h2>\nIt\u2019s still not completely clear what happened to Tiffany Valiante on the day she passed, but a couple of facts are known.<\/p>\n
On 12th July 2015, Tiffany attended a graduation party with her parents, Dianne and Steve. At around 9pm, one of Tiffany\u2019s friends asked to speak to her parents and told them that Tiffany had been using her debit card while at their home in Mays Landing.<\/p>\n
According to The Daily Beast<\/a>, this conversation lasted less than 10 minutes and Tiffany denied the accusations, although a receipt from the card was later found in her room. Nevertheless, her parents dealt with the situation. While searching her daughter\u2019s car, however, Dianne said she saw Tiffany slip the debit card in question into her pocket.\u00a0 Dianne went into her house to call for her husband, but when they returned, Tiffany was nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\nWhen she didn\u2019t return hours later, her parents began to worry and started to look around \u2013 that\u2019s when they found her\u00a0cell phone discarded at the bottom of their driveway.<\/p>\n
\u201cTiffany never went anywhere without her cell phone,\u201d her mother explained.<\/p>\n
By 11:30pm, her parents became so worried they decided to call the police \u2013 but 27 minutes earlier, a New Jersey Transit train travelling southbound at 80 miles per hour had hit Valiante about four miles from her home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was devastated. I couldn\u2019t understand how they could come up with that,\u201d Dianne says in the Netflix series.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter wasn\u2019t depressed. She wasn\u2019t suicidal. Tiffany was happy! She was making plans to go to college, she was making plans with her roommate, she was making plans to play softball that Wednesday. She had plans to go to Great Adventure the next morning with friends.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTiffany was murdered\u201d<\/strong><\/h2>\n\u201cThere was no way in hell that she committed suicide,\u201d her mother argues in the documentary. \u201cPeople that knew Tiffany just couldn\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the state\u2019s ruling, Tiffany\u2019s family didn\u2019t believe she had taken her own life, and a number of clues led them to believe that the truth could be more complicated than it seemed.<\/p>\n
There were a number of discrepancies surrounding Tiffany\u2019s death and the official conclusion. For instance, Tiffany was found barefoot and wearing just her underwear, although her parents last saw her fully clothed.<\/p>\n
Two week\u2019s after Tiffany\u2019s death, Dianne started to doubt the official conclusion and went looking for her own answers, only to stumble across Tiffany\u2019s missing shoes and headband in a neat pile nowhere near where the bloodhounds had tracked her scent and more than a mile from where she had died on the tracks. Her parents found this odd as the autopsy hadn\u2019t suggested anything about her feet to show she\u2019d walked this distance without shoes.<\/p>
The family later won a court order to have evidence tested, however, they were horrified by the condition of things, according to Paul D\u2019Amato, the family\u2019s attorney.<\/p>\n
As reported by NJ.com<\/a>, the family received a photo of an axe found near the scene that had \u201cred markings\u201d on it, but couldn\u2019t be tested because it had gone missing.<\/p>\n\u201cNJ Transit lost the axe,\u201d D\u2019Amato said. \u201cHow do you lose an axe<\/i>?\u201d<\/p>\n
A spokesman for NJ Transit declined to comment at the time.<\/p>\n
Tiffany\u2019s parents are still not sure what happened to her, but they think someone may have snatched her from outside their home, sexually assaulted her and chased her into the path of the train.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have parents, you have sisters, who have to live with the fact that some governmental agency concluded that their loved one committed suicide when the fundamentals of a suicide investigation weren\u2019t done,\u201d said D\u2019Amato in 2017. \u201cThere\u2019s a wrong here we\u2019re trying to right, for the benefit of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cWe have no doubt that Tiffany did not take her own life and that the medical examiner\u2019s office made a grave error in misclassifying her death as suicide. It is our hope that this litigation will not only result in the proper classification, but also brings to justice those responsible for her death.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following the news that Tiffany\u2019s case would be included in Unsolved Mysteries, the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for Tiffany\u2019s death has been doubled to $40,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know every day Tiffany is looking down on us, giving us the strength to help find those who snatched her and were responsible for her death just before she was to start her incredibly promising college career,\u201d her parents said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe know so many others that also believe Tiffany\u2019s death was not suicide, that there was a rush to judgement to close the case, and that the real story of how and why she died has yet to be told. The combination of this new, deeply-researched, fact-based program, and the increased reward, might just be what\u2019s necessary to help get Tiff\u2019s case reopened,\u201d they added through their family friend and attorney, Paul D\u2019Amato.<\/span><\/p>\nUnsolved Mysteries volume 3 starts on Netflix<\/a> on Tuesday 18th October.<\/strong> Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.

\u201cThere was no way in hell that she committed suicide,\u201d her mother argues in the documentary. \u201cPeople that knew Tiffany just couldn\u2019t believe it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the state\u2019s ruling, Tiffany\u2019s family didn\u2019t believe she had taken her own life, and a number of clues led them to believe that the truth could be more complicated than it seemed.<\/p>\n
There were a number of discrepancies surrounding Tiffany\u2019s death and the official conclusion. For instance, Tiffany was found barefoot and wearing just her underwear, although her parents last saw her fully clothed.<\/p>\n
Two week\u2019s after Tiffany\u2019s death, Dianne started to doubt the official conclusion and went looking for her own answers, only to stumble across Tiffany\u2019s missing shoes and headband in a neat pile nowhere near where the bloodhounds had tracked her scent and more than a mile from where she had died on the tracks. Her parents found this odd as the autopsy hadn\u2019t suggested anything about her feet to show she\u2019d walked this distance without shoes.<\/p>
The family later won a court order to have evidence tested, however, they were horrified by the condition of things, according to Paul D\u2019Amato, the family\u2019s attorney.<\/p>\n
As reported by NJ.com<\/a>, the family received a photo of an axe found near the scene that had \u201cred markings\u201d on it, but couldn\u2019t be tested because it had gone missing.<\/p>\n \u201cNJ Transit lost the axe,\u201d D\u2019Amato said. \u201cHow do you lose an axe<\/i>?\u201d<\/p>\n A spokesman for NJ Transit declined to comment at the time.<\/p>\n Tiffany\u2019s parents are still not sure what happened to her, but they think someone may have snatched her from outside their home, sexually assaulted her and chased her into the path of the train.<\/p>\n \u201cYou have parents, you have sisters, who have to live with the fact that some governmental agency concluded that their loved one committed suicide when the fundamentals of a suicide investigation weren\u2019t done,\u201d said D\u2019Amato in 2017. \u201cThere\u2019s a wrong here we\u2019re trying to right, for the benefit of them.\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cWe have no doubt that Tiffany did not take her own life and that the medical examiner\u2019s office made a grave error in misclassifying her death as suicide. It is our hope that this litigation will not only result in the proper classification, but also brings to justice those responsible for her death.\u201d<\/p>\n Following the news that Tiffany\u2019s case would be included in Unsolved Mysteries, the reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of those responsible for Tiffany\u2019s death has been doubled to $40,000.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know every day Tiffany is looking down on us, giving us the strength to help find those who snatched her and were responsible for her death just before she was to start her incredibly promising college career,\u201d her parents said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know so many others that also believe Tiffany\u2019s death was not suicide, that there was a rush to judgement to close the case, and that the real story of how and why she died has yet to be told. The combination of this new, deeply-researched, fact-based program, and the increased reward, might just be what\u2019s necessary to help get Tiff\u2019s case reopened,\u201d they added through their family friend and attorney, Paul D\u2019Amato.<\/span><\/p>\n Unsolved Mysteries volume 3 starts on Netflix<\/a> on Tuesday 18th October.<\/strong> Sign up for Netflix from \u00a36.99 a month<\/a>.
