Debra is the mother of Tabitha Tuders who was 13 years old when she disappeared in 2003, just blocks away from their home in East Nashville. Debra has never stopped searching for her daughter and believes that someone knows what happened. Over the years, she has done countless interviews to keep Tabitha’s story in the public eye. In 2021, a new detective was assigned to the case and police continue to follow leads. At CrimeCon, a new progression image created by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children will be released and Debra is looking forward to sharing her daughter's case with attendees. Tabitha’s family still has a large missing banner with her picture hanging outside her home and Debra prays that, one day, someone will come forward with answers.
