The disappearance of Tara Grinstead, a former beauty pageant winner and high school teacher, has apparently been solved. Grinstead’s disappearance in 2005 has remained one of the most infamous unsolved cases over the past 12 years, not the least of which because of her beauty, but there have also been multiple snags and dead-ends regarding the case.
It’s now believed that new information has since been released, information that led to an arrest.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) announced today that Ryan Alexander Duke, once a student at the school where Grinstead taught, was arrested and charged with her murder. Considering that Duke graduated three years before Grinstead began teaching at Irwin County High School, it’s still unknown what their relationship was.
