Article I Read: http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/09/30/grace.beauty.missing/index.html?iref=mpstoryview

For this week’s blog I chose to write about an article I read on cnn.com. It was about a 30 year old teacher from Georgia named Tara Grinstead who went mysteriously disappeared one night. She had been at a dinner party with some friends and had left alone, saying she was going home. Nobody has seen Grinstead since that night- October 22, 2005. There were some signs of violence in her house and some suspicious things, like the fact that her cell phone was there and her purse and keys were gone. The police say that there were clothes lying around the house. Her family says that she never went anywhere without her phone and she would never leave clothes lying around, which makes the police think that some sort of foul play occurred. One of the major suspects in her disappearance is her ex-boyfriend, who was spotted hanging out with one of the cops that night. My guess is that he had some role in her abduction, but it’s being covered up by the cops. What interested me about this article was the date. When I read the headline and clicked on the article I assumed it would be a recent disappearance because it was one of the top new stories. The fact that Grinstead hasn’t been seen since 2005 makes me wonder if they have reopened the case or if there has been recent evidence that has brought the case back into the news. I think it’s really sad that it’s been almost three years and they still haven’t found her. I can’t even imagine what that would be like if someone I knew disappeared. Overall I found the article very interesting, and I hope she is found soon or that someone will come forward with evidence.
