In 2014, when Tiffany was a teenager, Mark Stasi was arrested for the murder of his second wife, , a Colombian immigrant and mother of two young children. The case was brutal. Ana Maria had been missing for months before her dismembered remains were found stuffed into suitcases and dumped along the Southern State Parkway. Prosecutors painted Mark as a controlling narcissist who killed Ana Maria when she threatened to leave him—just as his first marriage had collapsed under similar accusations of abuse.
This makes Tiffany and Nastassja . They share the same mother (Ruth Stasi) but have different fathers. While Nastassja was raised primarily by her mother in a turbulent environment often dictated by Klaus Kinski’s erratic behavior, Tiffany grew up in a different household dynamic.

But Tiffany had always been olive-skinned, with dark, thick hair. She had assumed it was from Mark’s ambiguous Mediterranean heritage. But no—her biological father was Colombian.

At the time she was found, Carl Stasi had remarried and was living in Missouri.
For Tiffany, being the daughter of Gene Markey and the half-sister of Nastassja Kinski places her at a unique intersection of Hollywood history. She represents a different branch of the family tree—one that was somewhat removed from the chaotic genius and darkness associated with the Kinski name.
