Queensland teen was '20 weeks pregnant' when she met her alleged killer on dating website

A Queensland teenager was 20 weeks pregnant when she was allegedly murdered by a 60-year-old man she met through a dating website.

Tiffany Taylor, 16, vanished on July 12, after leaving a motel at Logan, south of Queensland. Police today arrested 60-year-old Rodney Williams and charged him with her murder.

Tiffany’s body has not been found, although police continue to comb Logan and the nearby Brisbane Valley Highway.

Police today said she met her alleged killer via an online dating website, where she had been offering sex for cash, the day she died.

“We’ve been able to establish that Tiffany was offering sexual services for money over the online dating service,” Detective Superintendent Dave Hitchinson told reporters today.

He also appealed for anyone with further information about the day leading up to the teenager’s death.

Police have alleged the pair had been travelling in Williams' champagne-coloured Hyundai and appealed for any information from the public.

Today, Tiffany’s older sister Chloe and mother Leanne Dillon, revealed she was about 20 weeks pregnant at the time of her alleged murder.

Chloe Taylor said her sister had resorted to selling herself online because, with the impending birth of her child she was in need of cash.

"My sister was a lovely little girl, a good girl. Very friendly, she'd talk to anybody,” she said.

"This is very out of character. She is a young girl after a little bit of attention from the wrong people.

"She knew what she was doing, she knew what she was getting into."

Police and State Emergency Service volunteers will tomorrow return to the area along the Brisbane Valley Highway, searching for any sign of Tiffany’s body.

Anyone with further information should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
