(WCTV) &#8211; Tuesday marked 20 years since 30-year-old Ali Gilmore went missing in Tallahassee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">At the time of her disappearance, Ali, a FAMU alum, was four months pregnant. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">She was living on Loraine Court and worked at the Florida Department of Health and part-time at Publix.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">On February 2, 2006, she worked her evening shift at Publix before returning home. The last verified contact she had was at about 12:48 a.m. on February 3.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Gilmore\u2019s estranged husband, James Gilmore was questioned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">In 2021, Tallahassee Police <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2021\/10\/11\/unsolved-florida-ali-gilmore-case-15-years-later\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2021\/10\/11\/unsolved-florida-ali-gilmore-case-15-years-later\/\">identified Dwight Aldridge <\/a>as a person of interest. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-center article-text\">More Tallahassee news:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Investigators said he Aldridge knew Ali and there were questions about whether he was the father of her unborn child.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Major Jeff Mahoney with the Tallahassee Police Department has worked on this case since he was a young homicide investigator 20 years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI believe that there is someone that knows exactly what happened,\u201d Mahoney said. \u201cAt some point, that one tip will help us break this case whether its finding Ali, or having enough evidence to move forward on a homicide charge. So, we\u2019re going to continue to move forward and try to find her and bring her back to her family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Just because a case is unsolved, doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s forgotten. TPD said it continues to work alongside investigative partners to review information and seek new leads. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Any one with information is encouraged to call the Big Bend Cold Case Task Force at 850-410-7611 or visiting this website. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Those with information can also contact TPD or Crime Solvers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTV.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wctvnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WCTVEyewitnessNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Have a news tip or see an error? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2026\/02\/03\/search-ali-gilmore-continues-20-years-after-her-disappearance\/mailto:news@wctv.tv?subject=Correction%20Needed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write to us here<\/a>.
