Ali L’isha Gilmore was a 30-year-old woman who went missing from Tallahassee, Florida on February 3, 2006. She was last seen at her home in the 200 block of Lorraine Court. Her family reported that she had never gone missing before and it was out of character for her. At the time of her disappearance, she was separated from her husband and was seeing another man. She became pregnant, but she was unsure who the father was. Ali and her husband James were attending counseling and trying to work things out. Her husband has cooperated with the police and his alibi checked out during the time of her disappearance.
No one was named as a suspect until 15 years later, in 2021, when police named 40-year-old Dwight Aldridge as a suspect and as the man whom Ali was dating at the time. On the day she went missing, she had the initials D.W. circled on a notepad, which is believed to refer to Dwight Aldridge. He also lied about his alibi at the time. While he initially cooperated early in the investigation, he stopped cooperating later.
Ali is described as 5’6”, 180 pounds, with black hair, brown eyes, and a scar on her abdomen. Her ears are pierced, and the word “Ali” is tattooed on the right side of her chest. The police are asking for anyone who may have known Dwight to come forward with any information that can help solve this cold case. If you have any information on the disappearence of Ali Gilmore to please contact the Tallahassee Police Department at (850) 891-4200, or to make an anonymous tip to Crimestoppers at (850) 574-TIPS.
