BEAVERCREEK - The Patterson Park Church on Sunday, April 25, started both morning services with prayers and a slide show of Dayton Daily News photographs set to somber music and depicting the emotional week experienced by the congregation and the families of David and Tiffany Tehan.

Pastor Joe Godwin welcomed David Tehan and both families to the stage, expressing on behalf of the congregation their relief that Tiffany is safe and well.

“It’s been quite an extraordinary week,” he said.

The Tehans are the Xenia couple that has been embroiled in national media coverage since Tiffany, 31, went missing April 17, and later was found to be fine and in Miami Beach, Fla., with Dayton resident Tre Hutcherson, 42.

Police on April 22 found the pair staying in a Florida motel.

Tiffany Tehan did not attend the Sunday morning services and declined comment Saturday, when she and Hutcherson were seen at her parents’ home in Hillsboro.

A video of Hutcherson and Tehan is scheduled to air on NBC’s “Today” show this morning, according to WLWT in Cincinnati. On Saturday, April 24, Hutcherson declined further comment, citing pending contract restrictions with an entity he would not identify.

During the Sunday services, Tiffany Tehan’s father, Chuck Tabor, reflected on the week.

“Our faith has been stretched,” he said. “We’re going through the whole gamut of emotions.”

The week began, he said, with a feeling “that tragedy was imminent,” but evolved into everyone “being so grateful to find that Tiffany is alive.”

Tehan’s husband, David, said “It’s been, obviously, an interesting week for me. And don’t stop praying for Tiffany.”

Greene County Prosecutor Stephen Haller said Friday he was issuing subpoenas, but it remains to be seen if anyone will be charged or if there is a way to recover money spent in the search for Tehan.
