I would like to see where they have searched every fishing hole every pond every ditch and on like that. Theres just no way. If you are not a local person then you wouldn't really understand. If you are then you should think again about that qusetion you ask. There is just no way, so in my eyes that was a lie.
mannequin, maybe you could narrow down exactly where you want the search to go. Are there places that you are sure have not been searched?

Not to ruffle feathers but ...
I've never heard of a victim's family cleaning up a crime scene immediately. I only hear of perps doing that. Why did they clean her home before calling the police, why did they touch anything, once they realized something was amiss? That is not a normal reaction, calling 911 is. What were they trying to hide or change?
These are the same family members that have hired this 'psychic' to spread their feelings on whom is responsible for Tara's disappearance. I don't buy it. I feel they are hiding something and know if they make a big enough wave in the media, it will take all eyes off them and onto the person they feel needs the blame.
What is Tara's sister's alibi for the night Tara disappeared? She is the one who keeps changing her story over time. Has her husband, the doctor's, alibi been checked out or did they just take his word for it that he was working? Why didn't they have him do another LD test after he seemed to intentionally mess up the one he had by breathing too fast? A person can only hyperventilate for so long before they have to calm down, that is the point the test should have been done again to get his real reaction to their questions.
I keep reading about everyone else, but never about them. Have they been asked these questions? Does anyone know? Figured it was time to ask the questions going thru my head.

Tara's mom/sister cleaned up her home, making her bed and cleaing the toilet and such. The neighbors even stood up an overturned lamp on her bedside table when they entered her home before the police were ever called, so we cannot rely on ANYTHING we've seen in any picture as being as it was when she left.
The show even said that Tara's home had been left virtually untouched/in the same condition as it was when Tara disappeared, but IT WAS UNTRUE and very MISLEADING.
I'm glad you caught on to the lie told in the show.
There were several.
IIRC, Tara's bed was UNMADE at the time of her disappearance, but her family tidied up her home and MANY MANY MANY people trampled on things, touched things, rearranged things, etc. so any evidence of exactly HOW Tara left things is in the wind due to all the movement in and around the house.

BB, This is the first I have heard of this. Where did you get your information?

What I said was 'he *seemed to* intentionally mess up the one he had by breathing too fast'. I'm sorry, I don't remember what thread I read it on, maybe someone else remembers. It said the test was not able to be read correctly due to his hyperventilating.
I speak from past experience working for a polygraph examiner who was a retired Indiana State Trooper. I saw many people work themselves up so they would get an inconclusive on a test if they didn't want the true results to be shown, drug themself up, or not sit still which will also ruin one. Normally, no big deal, they come back and retest later. I would like to know why he wasn't given another test if the first one wasn't any good. That will put to rest any rumors of this affair he was claimed to have had with Tara or confirm them.
No, I don't know anyone, I'm on the other side of the country. I have read since almost the beginning, followed the case this way and that. The majority seem to keep going after the select few men, but they are the ones who have passed the tests and have what look to be solid alibis. So I figured I'd put it out there and see if anyone else was thinking along those lines.
I find it odd Tara's sister and her husband have gone out of their way to bring in everyone they can think of to this case, but not put their trust and faith in GBI. Local LE I can understand, Tara seemed to have personal relationships with many of the officers and any dept would do the same thing they did, pass it on higher up so no fingers could be pointed later. While I realize some people do 'know things others don't', I see too many con artists out there who will tell a grieving family anything they want to hear to make a fast buck and get their picture in the paper.
Does anyone know if Tara's family made it a habit to go into her house without her knowledge and clean up after her? Did her neighbor always just hop in her car and take it to be cleaned out when it was dirty (again, without her knowledge)? I would be extremely upset if someone, family included, did that to my stuff.
Just thoughts that go thru my head, nothing more, nothing less. I don't have a TV, so I can only get impressions by what I am reading on these forums here.

BB,
Seems to me that your questions are valid and objective.......I'd like to add another if it's not too much off-topic....(waiting for hand slap)
How much life insurance does/did Tara have and who is listed as her beneficiary?
Anyone?

LOL I didnt watch this show simply because i dont believe her. If she have pertinent informations about this disappearance then she wouldnt wait a freaking what 4months? LOL just to let the public know what's going on. No show is even needed for this.
Sorry Baron fans... I believe psychic arent supposed to get paid and create a show first to help solve a disappearance. They help solve it first then they can make their show LOL you know like Court Tv Psychic Detectives? Tara's missing since October and Carla's working on it couple months after but needed to wait for July just to bring out what she knew? Scripted.

CourtTv has always been careful about copyright law. (Ever since I've been a member)
So, I think since someone threatened CourtTv with a copyright infringement suit, they wanted to be extra careful.
Can't say that I don't blame them.
Now, why Carla Baron (who has a show on CourtTv) would want to sue the company that is the vehicle for her television show is beyond me....
ROTFLMAO
Bottom line:
Carla Baron said it was a "crime of passion" on Haunting Evidence.
In her chat she said "M" had paid someone to assist him and was being coached.
My concern is this: Was the person posting as "Carla Baron" in that chatroom really Carla Baron. If so, how does she explain the contradiction between Haunting Evidence and her "true" vision of what transpired?
Or, has her vision "morphed" since the taping of the show?

I don't understand where the contradiction lies?
A little bit of a problem with Marcus being with Sean all night long.
Since she was talking about Marcus and saying Michael Lankford helped him... there are some huge holes left wide open.
1. When did he find the time to do this?
2. How exactly do you approach someone to help you dispose of a dead body? "Umm... hey Paula.. can ya do me a favor? I've got this dead person in the back of my pickup truck. Can you help me bury them in the middle of nowhere?"
3. Why hire someone to help dispose of a body that is already sitting in the back of his truck?
4. Lankford was going through bankruptcy at the time... why allow his vehicle to be voluntarily repossessed if he had some large chunk of change coming? He could have stopped bankruptcy proceedings at any time.
5. How much did Sean make off of the deal? (Though Carla doesn't directly mention Sean... but she did say Marcus was "being coached")
In my opinion Carla is a charlatan. Shyster. Con artist. BS'er. Etc.
Her "line" is identical to what Anita has been stating. How strange. (Yet John, whom I think Carla trashed in the chat, had different "visions" than Carla. Maybe John is more accurate because he hasn't been infused or tainted by talking at great length with Tara's family?)

Well, it depends upon who you want to believe.
One factions says Lankford and Harper are bosom buddies.
Another states they know who each other are, but they aren't friends.

Theorizing that MH killed Tara in the heat of passion, he would have needed an alibi and wouldn't have time to dispose of the body. Perhaps he made ML "an offer he couldn't refuse" and while ML handled that part, MH called Sean to set up his alibi.
It would be great to know how well MH and ML really know one another.
IMO
So, he left the bar... goes to Tara's... murders her... doesn't know what to do with the body... so he puts it in the back of his truck (covered with a tarp)... calls someone up, asks them if they can use some extra cash and would they get rid of a dead body for him... then calls Sean up to create an alibi... all in less than 30 minutes?
Ummmmm.... okay
Just curious Paula... Have you ever met an ex-boyfriend, ex-husband, boyfriend or husband that isn't guilty?
I'm not trying to be acerbic... but I've never seen anyone (who claims to know so little of the facts in this case) be so dead-set on "who" is responsible with those few facts. It's almost like you have a pre-recorded message, "the man in her life did it" whenever something happens to a woman.
And the funny thing about this case is that Marcus wasn't the man in her life. LMAO
I get so utterly frustrated when I see people make a decision about what happened (with no evidence whatsoever) and then try to fashion a justification out it by using whatever inane method they can think of.
Follow the FACTS. Follow the EVIDENCE. There is not one single solitary fact or piece of evidence that would indicate Marcus Harper had any contact with Tara at all... more less murder her.
I could come up with a doozy of theory concerning Larry and Anita Gattis. Want to hear it?

while we are offering up theory here as to what may have happened to Tara, I decided to post mine. I know it will be torn apart and what not as soon as I post, but Hey,, its ok,,, remember this is just my feelings and theory. First of all, I think there were some personal reasons that Tara and Marcus decided to call things off, and I think these reasons were Marcus's. Whether its because of some one else, or maybe a very personal problem Im not sure. (Some comments made earlier about their behind doors habits lead me to belive one of those is correct.) I do not know either of them personally so I cannot place blame. My theory on happened is:
Who ever is responsible for her being gone she knew very well. My feeling is that she left with this person voluntarily, however now I am told that there is possiblu evidence proving that she was assaulted in her home then taken. However, we need to remember that a number of females were in her home getting ready for the pageant, thus some of the evidence that is thought to have could possibly be from the girls ( gross as it may sound, blood could very well be from another female mestruating and it happened to leak onto the floor and they wiped it up, leaving some behind, very possible being that they were wearing dresses).
so, I think it was voluntarily that she left. I do think that the house that burned down is a BIG role in this. I think that she was taken to that house. Im not sure if she was living when she was taken there and then assaulted or if she was brought there after the fact. The timeline tells me though that they probly didnt have much time, so I assume it happened there. I think she was then left there, either to die or was already deceased at that point. The dog that I know of that hit on a spot in the house tells me that there was in fact a body there, not baby urine or whatever. I have full trust in this belief.
I think that later, being days later, that her body was moved by the truck that burnt when the house did. I think that the truck was set on fire to destroy evidence, and then the house was set on fire also. I do not believe that the house caught fire from the truck or vise versa because in pictures it showed a small bush that was between the 2 and it was virtually untouched by any fire which would have been impossible.
Now,,, if anyone has the arial pics that were taken b4 the ponds were drained, in one of those between the house and the pond, I know its a large area but its inbetween those 2, there was an area that looked as if it had been unearthed and then covered up. Later it was referred to as an aligator den that was there when the pond was emptied. This cannot be, the pond never went up that far, and it was there b4 they drained the pond, I seen it on arial pics that were posted.
I have a feeling that this is where her remains are. I am not sure if any other dogs have searched that area or not, but they need to. I think that a good cadaver dog would find something there.
I do think that someone was paid well to keep their mouth shut, but I think that they happened across this and were not directly involved to begin with. I have my own reasons for thinking the pay thing, but think vehicles.
Again, all this is just my own feelings, and any opinions here are just that, opinions.
My blessings are with Tara & her family. May this all be over soon.

Thank you for not bashing :) I havent posted here for along time, but I have read a few. I have just been trying to figure out how all this may have happened with regards to time and all, and this is what I have figured. I also went on some gut feelings that I have, although I dont know any of the POI or the victim herself or family. Sometimes feelings can be a strong leading knowledge.
Anyways,,, thanks again,, been busy keeping up on the Dru trial.

One of my OPers is keeping an eye on the place. I only drop in on rare occasions or when asked to meet someone in there. (Idunno knows how to find me almost all the time.)
When I have a day that I'm up to it, I work on the webpage and then will start looking for people to train as OPers in the future. Then we will get active again in there, if interest is shown and I am not so sick.
Feel free to stop in there and take a look around if you'd like. I more than likely won't be in my channel though, although my bot may be there. (Umm, should you make the mistake of getting him talkative, say 'Shutup WldAnimal' and he will quit talking. LOL.)

I'm sorry Paula... I'm not trying to be picky... it's just whenever you do discuss what might have happened to Tara, the only option you ever talk about is Marcus doing something to her.
Carla's "vision" just happened to be identical to Anita's mantra... which I thought was rather "coincidental". LOL
I think Carla is doing nothing more than spewing Anita's version of events and claiming it came through paranormal channels. She's obviously been fed every detail she's mentioned. No doubt in my mind.

Paula,
I am not sure that MH called Tara a name when she was with another guy. I have heard that it was AV that called her a name not MH. Of course, unless one of the men with her would verify then we have no first hand knowledge either way.
The same jealously scenario could apply to several situations.
This is just one of those cases where there are so many players that rhyme or reason is not forthcoming.

I've wondered if he may have wanted to know what time she got home that night by watching to see? That happens all the time by jealous male friends of women. It also makes sense that if he knocked on her door, she would open it to him, naturally.
What doesn't make sense is if she got home at 11:00, driving there immediately AFTER the BBQ, then why would someone decide to knock on her door at 2AM, if they were lying in wait for her outside her home? Why 2AM, and not 11:00pm, that is IF she went directly home.
She could have gone somewhere else and met someone to talk or something and then, when she arrived home so late/early in the AM, the jealous person wanted to know where the heck she was, which would fit with the 2AM scenario.
But who would feel they had the right to knock on her door at any time and question her? RR, her most recent boyfriend that we know of? HD, her friend in LE from another town? MH, who was seemingly done with their relationship? Who felt that was ok?
Again, I'm not putting much weight into anything until something official comes out, but it's the first time I've ever felt strongly about RR.
I'm not trying to start an argument, believe me, but I have a few questions about your post GS, and it applies to some of the other posters too but this one by you just caught my eye. Many of you here have made it clear that you don't believe in psychics and don't take anything they say seriously. If this is the case, why are you unwavering on this "2AM" time? Didn't this come from the psychics? I think we all have to leave room for error on ANYONE'S theory, but it does seem that some of the posters are latching on to the psychics' details when they (those specific details) become convenient for the theory they are presenting. JMO, I may be reading this wrong, but it seems that a lot of the POI's dropped out of the mix once the perp was described as around 5'10-11" w/dark hair, etc. Again, I think we should all be open to ANYTHING, but those that DON'T believe in what the psychics come up with shouldn't use to their advantage some of the details. And I'm not "discounting" in any way your "feeling about RR" you mentioned either. I'm just trying to understand how you think he could play into it, why you are sticking to the 2AM time, etc.
What I'm trying to understand is DO you believe the timeline, descriptions, etc. that were presented by the psychics? If you do, then don't waver on the time or anything else. But if you don't, maybe those details shouldn't be merged in with your theory? I personally DO believe in psychics, for which I am sure I will be immediately stoned to death by some of you, but I do have a good reason for believing, so I'm going with that.

The curiosity alone, involving someone so closely tied to its members, would prompt a more active investigation into Tara's disappearance, than if a stranger to LE's members had disappeared.
So, yes, I agree that whomever it is, they are being shielded, perhaps by the Blue Wall of Silence.
IMO
That makes tremendous sense Paula. From all outward appearances, it doesn't look like LE is doing much of anything on this case. Your reason makes perfect sense.

IMO So are you accusing LE of covering for one of their own? Who do you think this "Blue Wall of Silence" is shielding? People disappear all the time Paula, why do you find it so difficult to believe? People have chosen to walk away and have stayed away of their own choosing. Do you not hear these things on the news? How do you think abduction happens ? If traces were left by everyone who went missing, I'd venture to guess we would have a lot more success in finding the missing and a lot less need for pictures on milk cartons. Get real Paula. Lets just call it like it is you ALWAYS blame the/a MAN.
You throw the word Perp around as if there is one. I sure wish you would call the GBI and ask them to confirm their statement to Seamus that THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY and she is still considered MISSING. While your at it, why don't you ask them if they are putting up your imaginary "BLUE WALL OF SILENCE". I am sure they would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.:rolleyes:

JMO, I may be reading this wrong, but it seems that a lot of the POI's dropped out of the mix once the perp was described as around 5'10-11" w/dark hair, etc. Again, I think we should all be open to ANYTHING, but those that DON'T believe in what the psychics come up with shouldn't use to their advantage some of the details. And I'm not "discounting" in any way your "feeling about RR" you mentioned either. I'm just trying to understand how you think he could play into it, why you are sticking to the 2AM time, etc.
What I'm trying to understand is DO you believe the timeline, descriptions, etc. that were presented by the psychics? If you do, then don't waver on the time or anything else. But if you don't, maybe those details shouldn't be merged in with your theory? I personally DO believe in psychics, for which I am sure I will be immediately stoned to death by some of you, but I do have a good reason for believing, so I'm going with that.
The only timeline we have is the one given by CB the psychic. And her's doesn't make sense. IMO

We have a timeline.
It's 11'ish PM on Saturday night until 8'ish AM on Monday morning.
33 hours. Wide open.
That is a wide window of opportunity.
Carla's can make sense... but not if she's accusing Marcus. His time is accounted for. (Now I await the barrage of posts concerning the magic 30 minutes of murder, coverup, paying off and alibi seeking. LMAO Anything is possible in Disneyland. So they say.)

Hi BD
You are right we do have that timeline.
33 hrs could also give her a good lead in getting away to peace and quiet.

We have all dabbled in developing a time line, to some extent, myself included.
IIRC, the psychic connection did not develop until after January - long after many posters,
and the infamous Dr. Goodwin, had shared their thoughts.
I would think it is the psychic who is merging ideas that are not original.

Hmmm .. the timeline. Let me tell you a little story as best I am able and see if y'all think it could apply in this case. I've never told this story openly on a website really, I'll do the best I can without letting my emotions get into it.
I had a boyfriend many years ago and we had broken apart. I rented a little mother in law cottage behind a main house in a nice section of the smallish town, a 'burb of a well known town in Florida. One night, after I was sound asleep, I awoke to find this guy standing above me, next to my bed. He was drunk as a skunk and he was, well, you know...
I'm 5 feet tall even and range between 80 and 95 pounds depending on how badly my Crohn's is flaring. Not exactly big enough to put up a fight against someone twice my size. I said no, go away and all that, he didn't. He took what he wanted and left. I had just moved into that place that week, so didn't even have a phone installed yet. He didn't hurt me, but I didn't give my consent either.
That night left me pregnant and I later miscarried the baby.
I don't feel comfy thinking whomever took Tara had a real plan or was lying in wait. It could be a situation similar to mine. Lowered morals due to alcohol or drugs, an unlocked door which gave easy access or a door opened to him due to Tara knowing him, but not realizing letting him in was a bad move. How many of us really think well after being woken up from a sound sleep?
As far as the name calling. Who hasn't said something a little nasty about a person you dated in the recent past and are still a little upset by? I think we've all been there and done that or been on the receiving end. I don't feel calling someone a name instantly makes you a murderer.
Can those of you who know the town and the people better tell me if a sitation like mine could have gone down from where you sit? Since I've never been there I don't really know, but from the pictures I've seen of the house Tara rented, I feel it could have, very easily.

V, I think the article was based on heresay. You know how many times witnesses think they see something in crimes. The neighbor was the only neighbor who said the car was gone Sunday morning and didn't return until afternoon. The rest of the neighbors say the car was there all day.
The teenager said he saw her Sunday afternoon but could it have been Saturday afternoon? Quickly shopping for groceries before the pageant girls coming over.
Then turn it around. Maybe the one neighbor and the one teenage boy are the only correct ones.
The reason LE is not clarifying is because they are waiting for the perp to trip up and they can use any and all info to further a case.
The more banter around town and the message boards then more info can be gleaned and weaned. That is one clear reason the boards should stay up.

If traces were left by everyone who went missing, I'd venture to guess we would have a lot more success in finding the missing and a lot less need for pictures on milk cartons. Get real Paula. Lets just call it like it is you ALWAYS blame the/a MAN.
You throw the word Perp around as if there is one. I sure wish you would call the GBI and ask them to confirm their statement to Seamus that THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF FOUL PLAY and she is still considered MISSING. While your at it, why don't you ask them if they are putting up your imaginary "BLUE WALL OF SILENCE". I am sure they would love to hear your thoughts on the matter.:rolleyes:
I don't think Paula was talking about GBI. I think she meant local LE. Maybe Paula can clarify.

Where do you think Tara went in that amount of time, and what mode of transportation do you believe she may have used? I may have missed it, but I don't think I've seen a real theory put here that explained HOW she might have gotten away, WHERE she might have gone, etc. It's easy to say she just "ran away" or "left on her own", but how exactly? No money, no car, no family, no job, etc. How??

I don't think Tara just ran away,.FWIIW. I think there are others complicite.
Until and if we ever know. And if Tara is ever found it will be a guessing game.
So many people are missing.But in this case there are pieces of the puzzle that are relevant just no one steps up to the plate.
I know she is within our grasps and I will see this to the end.

I am with you Paula. I don't see how anyone could find themselves a "Sugar Daddy" and not have left records of phone calls, email msg's on both personal and/or work computers. How did they make contact... smoke signals? Telepathic... oh wait... I wont go there. :punch:
You can't tell me that all phone records haven't been checked. That all computers haven't been gone through.
Tara is/was to sentimental to just walk away from things that belonged to her grandmother. Things that she had kept through the years-clock, tv cabinet etc.
I seriously think that had she just walked away she would have reconsider it by now and would have contacted someone if at all possible. JMO

They use payphones, face to face talk in locations that would not arouse suspicion from anyone who would come across them, hand written notes left on or in a car or mailbox (read and burn after) and set up a pre arranged, safe time for the person who feels in danger to be picked up and taken away. Before the person leaves, the helper has made sure anything needed has been purchased, so nothing will need to be taken with at first.
At least this is how I left an ex that went nuts on me and I was in fear for my life. Any communication done online would be done in IM, without a log being kept or in a private IRC channel , where also no log would be kept. You avoid anything like email or web posts that would leave a trace. It's really very simple to do, you just have to be very careful.
I am not sure that is what Tara did, but that is normally how a total disappearance can be pulled off and nothing taken. I tend to lean towards her being kidnapped by someone and later killed, but am not ruling out anything at this time. More facts of the case are needed and until LE talks, we just won't know.
Raining very, very hard in Phoenix right now and chances are we'll lose power soon. Stopping this here so I can get it posted.

Tara's life seemed pretty full, perhaps bordering on overload, between teaching, continuing education, beauty pageant duties, etc. A sugar daddy surely must have wined and dined her before he swept her away in the middle of the night, unnoticed, from the tiny town of Ocilla. Why didn't anyone notice Tara with him before?
Did the sugar daddy tell her to leave all her personal effects behind, as well as her cash in the car and her money in the bank?
Who says a sugar daddy lives in Ocilla?
Who's to say that all of the different activities she's told everyone she was busy with is accurate?
Let's speculate that she tells everyone she has classes 3 nights a week. BUT, she really only has classes 2 nights a week. So, while everyone is thining she's off to school... she's really off to meet the speculative sugar daddy.
No one would know anything the wiser except Tara and the sugar daddy.

Its very upsetting when you know something is not true. Im not picking on you just using this as an example of how many do think. If I see something then I know its true but we cant all see everything, you have to trust too. on this discussion thats not possible I dont think.

FWIW, I believe you!
I saw MH, being interviewed on TV and was struck by his defensive attitude, when the situation called for remorse and compassion for Tara, the woman he claims to have loved, and with whom he had a more than five year relationship with.
I, for one, appreciate your input on this forum, and hope you keep posting your thoughts, without feeling intimidated by others. You will encounter this on nearly every board on CTV. Take a tour and see for yourself. It doesn't just happen here. You can start at the Natalee Holloway board, if your skin is thick enough.
Tara needs your support!
And you wouldn't be defensive if you had camera crews following you around and people claiming you murdered someone?
LMAO
No. Of course not. You'd be contrite and forgiving towards those misguided souls. You'd request interviews with everyone and shout your innocence from the rooftops, right? No matter how many times they accused you of doing something you know you didn't do, huh?

So, nice deflection, but no answer why there is a double standard in your reasoning. (And BTW, when you were slamming me for links, he wasn't on death row, so it's moot.)

Why is it okay for this person to not provide a link to something you think has firsthand knowledge, but when I had firsthand knowledge on things I was being trounced upon?
The only difference I see is that you didn't want to believe me (because we were on opposite sides of the fence) and this time you want to believe Marcus is a bad guy.
So, the truth of the matter (with the evidence before me) is that you choose to believe what you want, when it fits your belief and opinion that has been formed without having all of the facts.
On second thought, don't bother with an answer. I just figured it out. LOL

Mannequin has yet to state they witnessed this alleged interaction between Marcus and Tara. Paulas jumped the gun a little bit on that.

That's been said from the very beginning. Anyone who has read about it knows it was two words. (I didn't think the second one would be asterisk'ed out on the forum, but I knew for a fact the first one would be).
That's not some kind of "inside information" that only a witness would know.

If I understand Our jury system Manniquin would not have the chance to stand before a Grand Jury and testify anything.
grand jury is a type of common law jury responsible for investigating alleged crimes, examining evidence, and issuing indictments if they believe that there is enough evidence for a trial to proceed. A grand jury is distinguished from a petit jury, which is used during trial
I have served on Grand Juries in Irwin County and the DA presents the cases to be determined IF they will go before a jury, that would be the only way anyone could testify.
IMOO by Being there and Doing that.
Where they exist, grand juries are part of the system of checks and balances, preventing a case from going to trial on a prosecutor's bare word: an impartial panel of ordinary citizens must first decide whether there exists reasonable cause or probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed. To this end, witnesses can be compelled to testify before them. Unlike the trial itself, the grand jury's proceedings are secret; the defendant and his or her counsel are generally not present for other witnesses' testimony. The grand jury's decision is either a "true bill" (i.e. there is a case to answer) or "no true bill." In general, jurors are drawn from the same pool of citizens as a petit jury, and participate for a specific time period.

If "Mannequin" is a material witness on this "fact," the DA would certainly want "Mannequin" to testify before the grand jury to secure an indictment! Shall we go ahead and set this up or wait for there to even BE a criminal case opened. I doubt the DA is ready to do anything since LE has nothing to give the DA.

Preach to BFD he was the one that brought up Grand Jury, I have only served on them MANY times, and in none of them did a material witness be presented, BUT I bow to your expertice I am not an attorney just one of those ordinary citizens that make up the Grand Jury.

IMOO by Being there and Doing that.
Where they exist, grand juries are part of the system of checks and balances, preventing a case from going to trial on a prosecutor's bare word: an impartial panel of ordinary citizens must first decide whether there exists reasonable cause or probable cause to believe that a crime has been committed. To this end, witnesses can be compelled to testify before them. Unlike the trial itself, the grand jury's proceedings are secret; the defendant and his or her counsel are generally not present for other witnesses' testimony. The grand jury's decision is either a "true bill" (i.e. there is a case to answer) or "no true bill." In general, jurors are drawn from the same pool of citizens as a petit jury, and participate for a specific time period.
:confused:
Huh?
Your post has me totally confused because you contradicted yourself in the first two paragraphs. You stated in your post that a grand jury has the power to investigate an alleged crime, but then state that this poster wouldn't have the opportunity to be a witness in front of a grand jury.
Why wouldn't they?
Marcus displaying animosity towards Tara would most definitely be pertinent to any investigation.
Having witnesses come forward with pertinent evidence is what it's all about.
In Georgia there is also a provision where a district attorney can request a judge to impanel a special grand jury for investigative purposes even when no law may have been broken.
In this case, there are quite a few people arguing a law has been broken, so I don't think they would even need to go the route of a special grand jury.

You served on a grand jury in the past and never saw a witness testify in any of them?
WTH kind of grand jury was it?
I've never heard of such a thing.
I have personally testified in front of many grand juries.
I'm absolutely flabbergasted you say there were no witnesses. Did the DA just come up there and talk to you all day long?

Yes I have served on Irwin County Gand Juries and no in none of them did a witness be brought forth. I have been very lucky in that they have only been drug cases and simple theft cases. I think the longest any I was on lasted maybe 1/2 a day and we inspected the jail on one of those. My husband has been on GJ also and he has had the same experience. Remember we are a small county with little real crime. Drugs and simple cases.
Again I was speaking from my experience. Guess we will all have to wait until the DA takes on the case before we decide who will have to be brought where.

They were drug cases and no witnesses testified? How is that possible?
Did they just throw you a bunch of police reports and say, "start reading"?
In a simple theft case, how could you ascertain any facts without witnesses? Heck, how could you even ascertain something had been stolen?
Without witnesses, how did they present anything to you? The DA just came in and said, "this is what happened"... and you guys decided on that without any evidence whatsoever? Just on the DA's word that something happened?
I'm sorry, but I'm still flabbergasted. I've never heard of anything like that. Somebody, at some time, had to testify to the accuracy of a report or something.
I know we're far afield from what brought this up... but I'm truly floored by your statement.
So, I'll close with this:
Mannequin, did you witness the alleged exchange between Tara and Marcus Harper.
And if so, are you prepared to testify before a grand jury that that is what you witnessed?

I just pray that I never have to be on trial with the way jury verdicts are going. OJ Simpson everyone thinks he got away with murder...jury found him not guilty but to this day most people proclaim that he is guilty. Robert Blake jury found him not guilty .... most people thinks he is guilty. Lets not forget Michael Jackson found not guilty by his jurors and the world proclaims that he is guilty. So, I can understand defending someone that was found guilty if you think that they are innocent. We have seen so many shocking verdicts according to the media and the public. JMHO
If I had to take a guess, Paula probably thinks Andrea's ex-husband Rusty, is the guilty one and he should be on death row while Andrea is hailed a hero for having to put up with him.
Just a guess. It would be her M.O. All men are guilty.

Before the statement, she thought it was domestic abuse. Why now she is just a coldblooded killer. LOL Have you checked the yates board for her laverita posts?

I just heard Catherine Crier say that Rusty Yates, after Andrea killed the children, said "She finally did it". Now, THAT is a scary comment. Why he isn't being held responsible for, at the very least, child endangerment is beyond me!

If Andrea Yates truly believed, that the only way to save her children's souls, was to kill them, I believe that constitues being legally insane, since she didn't know it was wrong to kill them, and in fact thought it was the right thing to do.

I know she is within our grasps and I will see this to the end.
My heart says she's alive but not my mind. I dont think she ran away either. Case is very complicated because she's not a simple person. She communicate with many different people in different areas. But i have a feeling that one day, someone will be bothered by their conscience and will start talking on what really happen here or that person responsible will take it to his grave....
This case wont be solved if they dont want to look on different options and angles. Evidences are tainted. Rumors flying and worst of all many people we discussed on this case have their own personal agenda. It is sad that one day this case will be filed as a "cold case" and LE will not have a budget to continue it's search for her

HEY PAULA, Just catching up on some reading and found your post to be very interesting ! " I don't know about the others, but I do know about MH."
If you would please share what you know about MH I think that many of us would truly appreciate it ! There have been so many accusations that it would be wonderful to hear from someone who actually knows!
Would you PLEASE document exactly what "name" that he called Tara while she was with another guy ? I would just like for you to state this for the record,,, again,, what you know that MH called Tara or for that matter, ALL THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT MH ... Your help would be greatly appreciated,, especially in lieu of the fact that YOU are the only one that knows this for a FACT!

Maybe Tara told her. How could that be backed up with "A LINK" ? I don't recall everyone stating something here backing it up with a link, but that's just a GUESS of mine as to maybe it was Tara that told her.

"because if I hear a noise outside my house I will shoot"
You said outside your house, not inside the garage. You still shouldn't shoot without identifying your target. Argue all you want, but it's not a wise thing to do. Ask around.
How how the heck did you hit a foot-tall animal shooting through the door? Were you aiming at the bad guy's ankles? And it's a good thing you didn't hit a gas tank or gas can. Strange things happen when you don't know what you're shooting at.

Thank you Results for the nice words!
I have gotten some new info, but I am not going to post it publicly this time. I am doing things a bit different. It wouldn't take a psychic to figure out that maybe the man who took Tara is reading here and at Talk Tara. That makes him very informed. Especially with all of the great sleuthers we have posting as well. Heck, he is probably one of our favorite trouble makers!!
I hope that Tara is found and by a psychic, mainly because I feel that there are a lot of good psychics out there. Of course there are a few pseudo-psychics too! But it would make my heart sing, if a real psychic found Tara and brought her back home. It would still make my heart sing if anyone else did too, of course.
I am humbled at Results' posting and I hope that I am really tuned in to Tara. It sure feels right when I do. Only time will tell, I guess.
I am still learning the art of fine tuning this gift! The one question that I still have is how different psychics can have such complete different details on the same missing person. One can see Tara murdered and another alive (which is what I get). How opposite can you get?
Results gave me a thought last week about this topic. They said that we are seeing different sides to Tara. (ie. the ego, the personality, and the spirit/soul).
If you think about it, that does make sense. I am a very different person to the public than I am deep inside. Just as you are too. We present a certain persona to people and yet many times we are living a much different reality in private.
I want everyone to be right, I guess! So in order for that to be possible, then the one who sees Tara as having passed, could be picking up on the "lifestyle" that Tara was living. She could now be living a very different life than before and it would 'feel' like a death to a psychic. Any thoughts on this?
In closing, one thing that I can say about my own visions, is that in every single case that I have worked on in the past, I have always received accurate info regarding whether the person was alive or not. I have worked on about a dozen cases. Other details have been wrong, but that one hasn't.

Fsb, I wanted both quotes together so I c/p your whole post so I hope you don't mind. My question is if this is true is this what Hey Paula got banned for? If I read FW post about banning Talla/NewBoyInTown for using double nics she didn't like that at all. So, is this the reason Hey Paula got banned for double nic or defending herself? I will go further to say that I agree with FW that to have two nics to agree with you or to back you up and you are the same person then you have to wonder what their motives are for this type of behavior. So what if no one agrees with you but to resort to another nic and then pat youself on the back or say how wonderful that poster is in MO is very drastic measures and what purpose does it serve in helping find Tara? I would like to hear what Hey Paula has to say about this as well. JMHO

Let me preface this by saying that as hard as I've tried, I'm afraid I'll never understand BFD. While we sometimes had cordial PM exchanges, where he professed his respect for me, he would take on a new persona when posting to me openly in the presence of posters.
I question your credibility for dredging this issue up again. Pups, BFD and you (the unholy trinity) caused me to leave this board last time. I question your credibility when you accuse other posters of bringing "stuff" to this board which has nothing to do with this case - yet this is exactly what you're doing with this post about me. What does a nick I used years ago in the Scott Peterson case with under 100 posts, due to problems with transcripts, created by the SII group, of which BFD was part of, and still is, have to do with this case? You have chosen to dredge this up because you clearly don't want me to post here, just as you didn't want me to post here last time. Do you feel threatened by my presence here?
As you know, I was the one who openly stated I was laquella, and had used the nick because I couldn't post under the banned haypaula nick. In the laquella post I asked if anyone knew why haypaula was banned, as she posted respectfully and should not have been banned. If, in the eyes of BFD, this is praising myself, then that's his problem, not mine. I had to speak in the third person because I was banned and couldn't post under haypaula. Why is that so difficult for you, Pups and BFD to understand? It's funny that BFD should accuse me of praising myself when he seems to praise himself in so many of his posts.
In reply to BFD, no, I can't understand why some (only 3 that I know of unless others are summoned here to back up BFD, as has happened in the past) have credibility problems with me over laquella, and the need to use the nick in order to ask about haypaula because haypaula couldn't post and wanted to know why the heck she was banned for no good reason.
Had I known you would post this today, I would have never offered my friendship to you last night. You chose not to respond to that post, but instead dredge up one by BFD, which has no credence or standing with any fairminded, agenda-free person who was present when the laquella nick was required and utilized to post and learn why the haypaula nick was banned.
If everyone so desires, I will leave this board, for Tara's sake, and in the interest of decreasing the contentious aura here.

You chose not to respond to that post, but instead dredge up one by BFD, which has no credence or standing with any fairminded, agenda-free person who was present when the laquella nick was required and utilized to post and learn why the haypaula nick was banned.
If everyone so desires, I will leave this board, for Tara's sake, and in the interest of decreasing the contentious aura here.
OK. So this wasn't on the Tara board but the Scott Peterson board? I don't want you or anyone else to leave the Tara board that is here for Tara. If you read my post then my concern was it just happened with Talla and there is no need for double nic. I may not agree with alot of people on this board but as long as they are honest in their opinions/theories and are honestly here for Tara then I say post away and do a healthy debate and I will have the upmost respect for them.

Let me preface this by saying that as hard as I've tried, I'm afraid I'll never understand BFD. While we sometimes had cordial PM exchanges, where he professed his respect for me, he would take on a new persona when posting to me openly in the presence of posters.
I question your credibility for dredging this issue up again. Pups, BFD and you (the unholy trinity) caused me to leave this board last time. I question your credibility when you accuse other posters of bringing "stuff" to this board which has nothing to do with this case - yet this is exactly what you're doing with this post about me. What does a nick I used years ago in the Scott Peterson case with under 100 posts, due to problems with transcripts, created by the SII group, of which BFD was part of, and still is, have to do with this case? You have chosen to dredge this up because you clearly don't want me to post here, just as you didn't want me to post here last time. Do you feel threatened by my presence here?
As you know, I was the one who openly stated I was laquella, and had used the nick because I couldn't post under the banned haypaula nick. In the laquella post I asked if anyone knew why haypaula was banned, as she posted respectfully and should not have been banned. If, in the eyes of BFD, this is praising myself, then that's his problem, not mine. I had to speak in the third person because I was banned and couldn't post under haypaula. Why is that so difficult for you, Pups and BFD to understand? It's funny that BFD should accuse me of praising myself when he seems to praise himself in so many of his posts.

Thank you for your explaination. Being in a position of being banned as fep and came back and IJM I not qualified to to comment on any sincere poster's different nics. Edited to add I see no reason to leave the board. I appreciate people being upfront and honest.

Thanks for your reply, Results.
I hadn't read your prior post, or I would have responded to it.
I don't post simultaneously with double nicks. One of my board buddies suggested I create that other nick in order to settle a problem we were having at CTV with acquiring and utilizing paid transcripts, since the SP trial wasn't televised. I don't like when anyone plays games on these boards, because the cases involve real people and real crime victims, and it is a true disservice to them when posters do this. I post honestly and openly on every board and case I follow, and post my true opinions, even if it goes against the majority. I had completely forgotten about the laquella nick, since it had only been used for a single purpose and then forgotten about. I was reminded about it when I was unfairly banned.
If you are so inclined, I invite you to search my posts here and at CTV. My agenda is clear in all of them. I am always searching for the truth and for justice to be properly served for victims of crime.

I have very much enjoyed reading your posts and exchanging mine with you, IJM!
In all of your posts, you come across as a kind, compassionate and sincere person. I will believe that whether or not we agree on issues. As I've stated previously, the true test of respect lies in disagreement, just as being there for someone in bad times, is the true test of friendship.

04-11-2007, 10:01 AM
Okay. Just to be clear. You created a new nic and posted questions about why your other nic was banned? You totally lost me there. That seems a wee bit strange, and I think that is what BFD was pointing out.
If you haven't figured me out yet, I don't care who posts here, who leaves, or who you really are underneath your nic(s). My problem with people (like you) is a perceived fakeness that is, in your case, actually backed up by the Laquella incident.
Like I said, I'm not gonna lose sleep over being your friend or friendly to/from you. And please don't imply that anyone "summoned" up that post or that I or anyone is looking for BFD/Labs to come back here and go after you. No, not at all. Someone pm'd me to ask about the "real reason" you quit posting on Tara's board after you posted that "woe is me, I was forced to leave" propaganda yesterday or the day before. They didn't buy it, neither did I. So I went looking. And that's what I found.
Now I will imply something myself. Your "return" and the 2-3 "welcome backs" all did seem a bit contrived and "summoned" IMO. Perhaps you just stumbled back on your own, but it seemed like you were asked to come back and start doing what you were doing before (perhaps knowing BFD and Labs weren't participating here)? Maybe I'm wrong. I really don't care.
You do your thing, I'll do mine.

04-11-2007, 10:04 AM
I also think you calling me, BFD, and Labs "unholy" shows just how diluted you probably are in reality. And no one "forced" you to stop posting here, especially me. Adults make their own decisions, don't they? I think you and TallaTonight would've been great friends if she hadn't been banned. She's probably back with one of the more clever nics the past 2 days, so maybe you 2 can join forces and be "victims" together here.

Hi GaC!
I will do whatever benefits this board and keeping this forum intact for Tara. I don't want a repeat performance of last time, and if this keeps happening, where I am challenged to defend something so ridiculous, which disrupts this board, then it might be best for me to leave for Tara's sake.
For now, after again responding to the same BFD post as I did the last go-round, I will continue to post here, hoping this issue will finally be laid to rest, since laquella was born, with a sole purpose in mind, in 2002, and laid to rest shorly thereafter. It's such an old explainable, but apparently never forgotten issue by some.

Thank you the same here. I am a very sincere person but as time goes along you will see me at times being not so kind especially when I have a strong opinion on a subject. I hope that never interferes with anyone discussing things and if it does just ignore my strong opinion and keep moving forward. I have much compassion especially for Tara's case, which was initiated from things in my personal life but none-the less much compassion.
This case has much history with nics, some as simple troublemakers, some as double nics, some being accused of being someone one else (nic X is also nic Z) and many many problems. Some have been through hell with their personal lives brought into this case, businesses threatened and the story is almost endless. It appears you have missed a lot in this case so you probably know little of this history but there are some people here that have stood the ground and refuse to allow Tara’s board to be destroyed by things like we have faced in the past. Sincere posters are still here and new or people like you who return will also remain if they are sincere and have Tara at heart. Of course we will continue to face the things that disrupt and create problems in life on a message board. Oh Me if my real life was this hectic. IJM

fsbiii, for Tara's sake, if for no other reason, give it a rest. I am very happy to see Paula back posting, even though I rarely post of late. I got up early today to catch up on reading this board, and most of it is over the top debating about things that have no significance to finding Tara Grinstead. Paula has always brought interesting posts to this board and is an intelligent and caring poster. I've always thought her heart was in the right place where cases are concerned, and consider her very sincere. And FWIW, I know for a fact the girl isn't a man hater. ;) Leave her alone and let her post. It looks like this board needs some fresh ideas anyway. JMHO.

I am truly sorry I began posting here again, as once again, you have made it an extremely unpleasant experience.

Why keep on with this? I made my point, and you did a great job of responding. I think your credibility, and everyone else's, is certainly a worthwhile subject. Why shouldn't it be? Just carry on, ignore me, debate with me, or whatever you want. No need to keep on with the pity party, IMO.

Many are "guilty" IJM, of fueling the fires, myself included. It seems that once one of these exchanges get started, everyone wants to have the last word and it goes on, and on, and on...It's just my opinion, FWIW, that when someone has a personal issue with someone, they should take it to the PM's and it should never make it to the board. There should be enough to debate with all the differing opinions on Tara's case, without bringing the grudges and accusations here for everyone to endure. That's JMO.

I really dont think its related, either,but at the time, IT WAS BIG..Tara missing,the house burning,.....it all looked,IMO, suspicious.....

I am in total agreement with you, Something, Anything, needs to be done. BUT before we go with ~Open Arms~ to DogHandler (or anyone for that matter), its needs to be done right, crossing the *t's* and dotting the *i'* - - how many finds does this persons dog have? Are they certified? Is this dog HRD or just scent? We NEED a PROVEN Cadaver Dog for this, we may not get another chance, so lets make this one count for all that it is worth. DogHandler, I hope & pray your dog is of this caliber, my hats off to the folks that take the time & patience to train, train & train some more, in all conditions & terrain. But look how long (if she was there) it has been since a body may have been in that field.
Brainstorm, I too had heard of land selling out that way, but I know for a *Fact* that the trailer on the Satilla Road, right at the dirt road, Snap Dragon, WAS for sale, (I talked to the man myself - it was outta my league) AND I had *heard* that the house & land that ML was living on was for sale - never got a clear answer on that one, but did get owner's address & number to call her, but never made the call to check, especially after the amount I was quoted on the trailer & land near it. But, I never heard about the *burned house property* being for sale.

I am in total agreement with you, Something, Anything, needs to be done. BUT before we go with ~Open Arms~ to DogHandler (or anyone for that matter), its needs to be done right, crossing the *t's* and dotting the *i'* - - how many finds does this persons dog have? Are they certified? Is this dog HRD or just scent? We NEED a PROVEN Cadaver Dog for this, we may not get another chance, so lets make this one count for all that it is worth. DogHandler, I hope & pray your dog is of this caliber, my hats off to the folks that take the time & patience to train, train & train some more, in all conditions & terrain. But look how long (if she was there) it has been since a body may have been in that field.
Brainstorm, I too had heard of land selling out that way, but I know for a *Fact* that the trailer on the Satilla Road, right at the dirt road, Snap Dragon, WAS for sale, (I talked to the man myself - it was outta my league) AND I had *heard* that the house & land that ML was living on was for sale - never got a clear answer on that one, but did get owner's address & number to call her, but never made the call to check, especially after the amount I was quoted on the trailer & land near it. But, I never heard about the *burned house property* being for sale.
Well Kebo I'm glad I read your post before I contacted Cheif Hancock. I spoke with DH by PM as well as Brainstrom. You appear much more professional with this than I do so I am turning this job over to you. You have the number of the land owner so it is great someone with the know how to step in. I do suggest you work with the Chief what ever direction with the dogs you go. TIA IJM and prayers the search will be productive.

OH no, no, no! You can't get off that easy, lil Missy! (lol) Maybe DH will be so kind as to address Kebo's questions and then you and Brainstorm can continue in the direction you were already going.
No offense, Kebo, but if you have had this "knowledge of dogs" and the owner's phone numbers, I'm wondering why you haven't acted on this already.
I don't know about anyone else, but I would like to know that IJM and Brainstorm are following up on this. JMO.

Many are "guilty" IJM, of fueling the fires, myself included. It seems that once one of these exchanges get started, everyone wants to have the last word and it goes on, and on, and on...It's just my opinion, FWIW, that when someone has a personal issue with someone, they should take it to the PM's and it should never make it to the board. There should be enough to debate with all the differing opinions on Tara's case, without bringing the grudges and accusations here for everyone to endure. That's JMO.
No need to apologize.
LOL dix it is never "wrong" to apologize if needed or not.
I think we are all guilty of causing distractions where its a personal agenda the silly willies or any other junk not related to Tara. I take it as life on a message board because in reading the few I have I don't see a lot of difference. Just glad it's not the way my real life works. Thanks IJM

:no: I am not turning ANYONE away, BUT - ask the Doghandler's themselves - it all has to go by the book or it won't do ANY good once it gets to court.

okay,maybe I'm being too harsh on you,kebo.....
I'm not thinking ahead to court, I just want TARA to be found and I dont care if its my own little Jack Russell that finds her, IMO
jmho
this is real, not just a case,IMO

ok, now maybe we are on the same track? I TOO want Tara found, if not I wouldn't have been on all the searches I've been on, either on a 4-wheeler, on foot & even on horseback - and if my little Jack/Rat could find her, I'd be tickled to death, BUT that is one of the things a handler pointed out to me, I made a remark to that affect & they let me know right quick like, *that ain't gonna happen*, so THAT is why I wanted *us* to have all the bases covered. OK?
How well I know this is real, I knew Tara & my daughter had her as a teacher. nuff said?
As Always,
Praying for Tara & Family:rose: :rose: :rose:

Thank you Kebo for helping in Tara's search. :rose:
I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

No thanks needed, the only reason I stated those things was to hopefully let Brainstorm know where I was coming from. Anyone able to help should, none of us know when this could be OUR family.
(love the quote, good one to live by)

Kebo you are the best. Thank you for all you have done and will do. I have been with you on a search and you are one hard gal to keep up with. In my heart I feel Tara knows you are there and I know your daughter is proud of you. What is more important than that.

We pray everyday Tara for your safe return. I never knew you, but I wish I did. Nor was I ever on thic board until you brought me here, and I thank you for it. W e miss you Tara and we want you to come home. Someone knows and are too much of a coward to say something. May God Bless you and keep you close to your angels.:rose: :rose: :rose: Blessings.
