DAYTON — Tre Hutcherson apparently has a buyer for his story of forbidden love involving a 31-year-old Xenia runaway mother.

“I cannot talk to the media. I have a contract I have to look at,” Hutcherson said by phone Saturday, April 24. He declined politely to answer further questions.

Hutcherson, 42, and Tiffany Tehan disappeared Saturday, April 17, after Tehan told her husband she was on a shopping trip to find clothes for the couple’s 1-year-old daughter. The family’s vehicle was discovered the next day at Indian Ripple Park with a flat tire and the keys locked inside. The discovery launched an area wide search and captured national attention.

Hutcherson and Tehan were discovered by police Thursday staying in a Miami Beach, Fla., motel.

Hutcherson, who is married, said he returned to the Dayton area over the weekend. He has consistently declined to say whether Tehan returned with him.

The Xenia woman since has spoken with her family and husband to reassure them she was safe.

Messages left for Tehan’s husband, David, were not immediately returned Saturday. The cell phone for Tehan’s parents was not in service.

Hutcherson had agreed to speak to a reporter Saturday afternoon, but said the pending contract with an entity he would not identify barred him from talking.

“I was strictly warned not to speak to anyone by an attorney and the people working on this,” he said.

Hutcherson, however, will be speaking to the Greene County and Xenia authorities. “I will be contacting the prosecutor’s office on Monday,” he said.

Greene County Prosecutor Stephen Haller said Friday he was issuing subpoenas but declined to say how many and to whom. Haller said it remains to be seen if anyone would be charged or if there was a way to recover money spent in the search for Tehan.
