What's so laughable are the "cock-a-dooble-doo's" who come on CTV and make comments about Tara and her family who have never met them, know absolutely jack-squat about them but report info their mystery sources have given them as absolute fact. You can take all of these theories and stories and file them in file 13.

From day one, the whole case has had 99.9% major inconsistencies from LE and beyond. It does make you wonder why. But, notice one thing, GBI has not commented and will not comment until they have the case SOLVED. No one on this board has the brains or insight to solve anything. They know NOTHING. And I agree with GAC, the insults don't help one bit. But those who sling them don't really care, do they?

I wish peace for the family and that is all. It will soon be one year and that is way too long for any family to suffer without a clue as to the whereabouts of their loved one.

What in the world are you apologizing for? You haven't broken any law.

You haven't done anything wrong.

If someone gets offended, big deal.

People do not come to this message board and discuss Tara Grinstead's case because of anyone other than Tara Grinstead.

Anita is hinky as hell. She does some strange stuff.

That isn't libelous. It's my opinion. And obviously the opinion of a lot of other people. She is a strange bird.

I personally do believe that the answer to Tara's disappearance lies up in Hawkinsville. There is a lot of stuff that isn't being said. A lot of lies being told. A lot of misinformation being spread. A lot of ommissions.

Everyone is buzzing about this "behind the scenes", but everyone is scared to death to say anything publicly because of the stigma attached to "bashing family" of a victim. I don't care if they're the family of the pope, if something stinks, it stinks. I'm not gonna tell everyone it smells like roses when it doesn't.

There is absolutely nothing malicious in your post. Therefore there is absolutely nothing slanderous. People get off on this slander and libel crap when they get their feelings hurt. Hurting someone's feelings does not equate to libel.

I'm not an attorney, but believe me, I've walked the line so close for so long and have been threated so many times to be sued, I've done my fair share of defensive reading about libel. I don't see anything within your post that could possibly be construed as libel.

(Don't let people scare you away with that talk. That's been the tone for the last 6 months when someone says something they don't like: "Oooohhhh... I'm gonna tell.... and you're gonna get sued..." LMAO Idiots.)

Better yet, BevieAnn, why not just have them shave your head while at the parlor and donate "your hair" to my friend who lost all of her hair last month following chemo treatments. Would be a nice gesture, don't you think? :beer:

My father in law's memorial service was on Friday night. His grown kids from his first marriage arrived on Saturday morning at my mother in laws to clean out her house. They took a home entertainment center, photography stuff, etc. My mother in law is shell shocked because her husband died within 5 days of his diagnosis. She is barely able to function and these idiots clean her out.

I only mention that if not for the Grace of God, I could be in Anita's place. I'm going to stop judging her, although, I still don't agree with a lot of her stuff.
Thank you for your post. This is the most intelligent one I've seen in awhile. If everyone else could possibly imagine themselves in a similar situation, I think some of the garbage on this board would cease. You don't KNOW what you would say (or not say) when a camera is in your face. You say things, then you think later about something you forgot. It happens to ANYONE who has ever spoken publicly. Not just the people being discussed on this board. None of us really know how that family feels because none of us are IN that family. There is a NICE WAY of asking about inconsistent items without openly bashing people in the process. Thank you again, TD, for your post.

I don't have to "know" someone to have an opinion of whether their public statements are inconsistent, hinky, lies, misdirection or anything else I may have the opinion of. How lame.

You don't "know" these posters on this message board, but yet you form an opinion on their public statements and insult them. Huh?

Wow, see how that works?

My "source" is most definitely trustworthy. So far I've been hearing the Marcus bashers claim "any day now" for the last 5 months. Over and over and over we keep hearing about secret sources that say an arrest is coming or "big news" is coming... and then nothing ever comes of fruition. But yet you trust those, huh? The ones that never pan out? LMAO

So don't blow your hypocritical hotair about "insults" and "not knowing people" when you're sitting here doing the exact same thing.

Faye Grinstead does drive and at the time of Tara's disappearance her health was good. It is my understanding, the stress of these last months have caused her health to decline so she might not be able to drive at the present time.

AFAIK, there was no reason for Faye to not drive to Ocilla (or anywhere else) to check on Tara last October.

I have never met Faye Grinstead. I have never seen her driving but I have been told by someone who has known her for a very long time that she does drive. I have no reason to not believe this lady since she does know the whole family, very well.

I don't think Faye Grinstead went to Ocilla that Monday morning at all, not with Maria or anyone else.

If we can only post about what we have personally seen with our own eyes or heard with our own ears, most of us might as well all turn our computers off right now. IMO

99% of my posts are opinions, nothing more.

If you're local, you obviously don't know the "whole story" either. Tara is still missing, right?

And I hate to break the news to you, but EVERYTHING on the forum is "hearsay". Including your posts. Proximity doesn't equate to "correct". But any time you're ready to prove me wrong, go for it. I'll be waiting for that sworn testimony and/or affidavit signed by "mannequin".

Now, I've noticed the influx lately of the folks who want to talk about the "posters" instead of the actual facts of the case. I wonder why that is?

Give us the rundown of the "true facts" only a "local" would know Mannequin. It might help us unenlightened outsiders understand the case better. After all, that's why you're here, right?

The more pertinent question would be, "why would they give the money to her family?".

The only person I know of that has said $300 and then $100 is Anita.

I am confident copies of all receipts are available to the family members at the police station.

But if you feel the discrepency may lead us to Tara, I'll see what I can do.

The same 'others' also provided (to the same person and others I am sure) the information about Dr. Gattis being 'on a run' the morning of 10/24 as the reason it took so long for Anita and him to get to Ocilla.

FWIW--



"The same 'others' also provided (to the same person and others I am sure) the information about Dr. Gattis being 'on a run' the morning of 10/24 as the reason it took so long for Anita and him to get to Ocilla".

I am very interested in this run that LG was allegedly on, the morning that Tara was discovered missing. It was a Monday morning, ie a work day. Just wondering out loud .. :confused:

Yes, this run - actually this thread of it, is the FIRST I'd heard of it. I find it very odd that an emergency type situation, didn't make Anita more hurried. From what I read here, she didn't seem overly concerned :confused: I've had emergency phone calls, where I ran out the door and left everything in the house on! I don't understand her waiting patiently for him to return from him run???:shrug:

Oh Goodness, lookie here, I have missed the crew of reincarnations and double nics today. Whew! BFD I agree with you, we need to explore inconsistency, isn't that at the heart of every investigation? There always seems to be a slew of posters that come out of the woodwork whenever inconsistent statements are mentioned. I really can't help wondering why. Guitarstring, you are right this is a message board, forum, no need to feel bad for asking a question about differing statements. Georgiacuz, thanks for the insight, it is very much appreciated here when we have locals who are actually willing to share information. Lindsey, you are correct, even though some of us don't live there it doesn't mean we haven't read, discussed with locals and can see things that have happened on this very forum. Seems like a storm was kicked up over discussing AG and LG, why? Is there a rule on this forum that says "no discussing AG and LG" ? I must have missed that rule.

Yes, Bev Ann .. I have always wondered why LG and AG arrived in Ocilla much later in the day. I think that Tara was officially reported as missing at 8:50am on the Monday morning. Now we find out that their delay in getting to Ocilla was because LG was out on ..... "a run". :confused:

Nope. No family at all in Ocilla ... step or otherwise since Billy and Connie moved to Alabama 3-4 years ago.

In fact, Connie's mother has passed away since Tara has been missing and she lived in Hawkinsville also.

We know that Billy and Connie lived in Ocilla-not a clue how long the two have been married. I would guess that Billy and Faye when married lived in Hawkinsville. (if I am wrong someone correct me please!)

So could "the family" in Ocilla include Tara's stepmom's family?

Just wondering?

So it appears that NONE of Tara's family came to Ocilla in the early stages of her disappearance. :confused:

Tara's friend, MHu from Hawkinsville rushed to Ocilla early that morning, "knowing that the police were on their way" but no family did?. I don't know about anyone else but I find that rather odd the more that I think about it.

We have heard that the reason AG didn't come to Ocilla until later on in the day was because she had to wait until LG came back from "a run". Was she not informed that MHu was travelling to Ocilla and could have gotten a ride with her?.

HULETT: I had been -- we had been looking for her, her mother an I had. And then so I went down there that morning, knowing that the police were on their way, and I went in. The police were outside. Well, excuse me...

Rereading that Nancy Grace interview and what I know now I cannot for the life of me see anyone in Ocilla responsible for Tara's disappearance.

The community rallied immediately.Her ties to the community were self-made ties and from all indication she was truly treasured. It was like she found a little niche in the world where she fit in. That also goes along with her home and how personal it was...it was her world.

I am not naive but she made a new world for herself away from Hawkinsville. She had a strong drive and implemented it. No one can say she didn't strive.

I am afraid she reached out to the wrong person for more grounding than she was capable of and this is where the problem lies.

Eh, stranger things have happened I guess) Not to mention all of them who claim to have such concern for Tara, yet are on her stalking posters. Boy I can only imagine how honored Tara would feel by all of this behavior from them. NOT

I don't think the family would want personal phone numbers given out, but if you have questions you want answered you can reach the family at the missingtara.com website. Just send an email and ask them to forward it on to the person you are trying to reach.

I agree that it does make sense to first check the places where Tara MIGHT be, but what I don't agree with you on is the fact that this is not a big deal. The big deal (until we get the answer) is WHY they looked in Hawkinsville and WHERE?

If Tara was last seen at a BBQ at the Davis residence in OCILLA on Saturday night, then WHAT POSSIBLY made them begin to look in Hawkinsville? SOMETHING had to give them the idea of where to look, right? What was that?

AND, if somebody is unable to be located, it seems logical to me that SOMEBODY goes to their home and tries to locate them?
I realize HD did that, but he did so secretly, right? I mean, if he TRULY did not tell Mrs. Faye Grinstead that he was in Tara's driveway, then how did Maria or Faye determine they didn't need to drive down to Tara's house? or did they?

If HD did NOT say where he was, then it seems logical that Faye or Maria would go to Tara's home and see for themselves what was going on.

When did Maria FIRST set foot inside Tara's home after Saturday night?

When did Faye FIRST set foot inside Tara's home after Saturday night?

What's up Maria?

guitarstring, I'm not sure if this has been answered already, but from what I understand Faye was under the impression that Tara was going to stop by that Sunday - in Hawkinsville, where Faye and others live - and that it was a fairly regular occurance that Tara went to see her mother on Sundays.

Now - before anyone says that Tara's plans to see her mother were not set in stone and that Tara had left the plans open in case she was too tired to go to Hawkinsville - I know that.

But, to answer the question of why they started off in Hawkinsville or didn't all head down to Ocilla at the same time, it seems logical that if Faye started wondering where Tara was on Sunday that she would have at least tried to find out if Tara had been on her way and got in a car accident or otherwise stranded somewhere, etc. Why drive over an hr away when there was still a chance that Tara had traveled there? They could work their way down to Ocilla and it appears that they did..... by having HD check around, calling the neighbors and I think they also called some of the pageant or other hs girls. That's how they knew that she had had a phone conversation on Saturday night with the people who's dog she was petsitting.

There was nothing to call the police about on Sunday. If they had called her in as a missing person on Sunday just because they couldn't get her on the phone or find her in all the regular places, you think that would have been taken seriously? Keep in mind this is a 30 yr old, single woman, not a child who just went out in the back yard for a second. I agree with jond, it appears that it was her not showing up for work that day that really solidified things for everyone. Also, the school would not have just suddenly called the police because she didn't show up for the hs classes. There had to be a moment when someone at the school was talking to the family or neighbors and they all realized that there must really be something wrong if absolutely no one knew where she was.

Nine months later, still no sign

By Mariel Williams and Corinne Bird
Special to The Enterprise
(This article was first published in The Press-Sentinel of Jesup Sunday, July 30.)
Dogs South took a day trip to Ocilla last Saturday to find missing teacher Tara Grinstead.
The local nonprofit canine search-and-rescue organization has continued to assist in the volunteer search effort in the nine months that Grinstead has been missing.
The former beauty queen vanished from her home in Ocilla in October 2005. Law enforcement has stopped actively searching for her. But Grinstead’s sister and brother-in-law, Larry and Anita Gattis, continue to scour the woods and fields of Irwin County in an attempt to locate their missing loved one.
Whenever the volunteers find disturbed earth or other suspicious ground in their searches, they call on Dogs South to investigate. The organization’s founders, Tony and Angela Batten, took their volunteers out to Ocilla on one of these calls last weekend.
Dogs South uses cadaver dogs to examine the ground and search for human remains. They were unsuccessful in this most recent mission, which was interrupted by a suspicious landowner. He claimed to have persuaded his neighbors to rescind their permission for searches of the land, and the volunteers backed off until the other landowners could be contacted again.
But the team still managed to rule out several sites suspected of being Grinstead’s final resting place. And the volunteers plan to be back out, in their “Justice for Tara” T-shirts, in the next couple of weeks.
(For the rest of the story, pick up a copy of this week's The Telfair Enterprise)

It was my understanding that they never had permission to be on the landowners property to begin with.

IMO, searches are important (extremely important). But you must have the permission of the property owner to search and after the way the ocillians have been treated, I don't blame them for not being eager to have certain people on their land without LE.

While I am not an attorney, I think a defense attorney would rip any evidence collected by certain people to shreads. I would prefer to have properly collected evidence that would stand up in court and help the cause against the perp (imo, there is one) than to have them get away with a crime (again, imo, there is one) because of tainted or possibly tainted evidence.

I'm not sure what LE's take on these type searches are - I realize they don't have the man power to be on searches every time there is one conducted, and I realize many people definately want to continue to hunt for Tara. :shrug: I'm not sure on what LE thinks about it, and IF evidence was actually found, what would it mean, if LE wasn't there??

Your understanding is wrong. They, in fact, DID have permission. One landowner decided at the last minute he did not want his land searched, and told the searchers that the OTHER landowners felt the same way (when in fact they did not). Abiding by his wishes, and having no way to check this out immediately, the search ended early. This is the type of interference that happens over and over and over again. And more times than not, the one causing problems is influenced by one common thread. But I won't go there. IMO, EVERYONE should open up their land (and hearts) and let these people search. They don't care about your pot plants. They are looking for a body.

It's the Gattis property I'd like to search. You know, just to make sure all bases are covered. It's my understanding that only people with something to hide would refuse to allow a search... so I'm curious if they'd be open to a third party coming in and searching their property.

So am I to assume you'll provide your own team of dogs, or do we need to set that up? Did you want law enforcement to assist you as well, or will it be just you alone? Like I said, I'm certain there'd be no problem with this, but you'd need to contact them to set it up. I've looked over the time frame of this crime, and I really don't think Marcus and his friend had time to drive all the way to Hawkinsville to bury Tara, but if you feel the need to search there I'm sure it can be arranged.

Perhaps your friend can bring her 2 lab pups with her to help with the digging. Just let someone know at the website by giving the info I outlined earlier, and this will certainly be arranged for you.

In the beginning, I would have totally agreed. But due to the actions of some, I would have to disagree now. I think that they should open their land up to on LE sanctioned searches.

It wouldn't have to only consist of LE, but at least have LE there and IN CHARGE.

I feel that the area needs to be covered again. And I would be happy to volunteer my time if LE was in charge.

Apparently it was both. Prior permission had been granted, then a local person who opposed the search (for whatever reason) convinced the gentleman to rescind his permission. The odd thing about this though, was that the access to this man's land was only needed to GET TO THE OTHER LAND to be searched (which he DOES NOT OWN). To make things difficult for the searchers, he parked his vehicle sideways in the only access road to the land to be searched. Very odd situation if you ask me. But being professional about it, as they always are, the searchers ended it early that day, out of respect for this man's odd request.

Until the remains of their loved ones are actually found, most families cling to the slighest glimmer of hope that the improbable is still possible.

That's why it's so important that the searches for Tara continue unabated. If LE refuses to search, or doesn't have the financial resources to do so, it is left to the kindhearted, caring volunteers, who walk the walk, and take a proactive role in finding Tara.

I commend and support them in their efforts, and pray they find Tara.

Exactly. No one wants to really believe the worst. Actually, I have seen other familes get jumped on for saying the opposite in these situations and saying outloud that they believe their family member met with foul play. The stuff I've seen written about Maura Murray's family comes to mind and there were some locals (w/ no ties to that family) opposed to searches too. Seems like your damned if you don't and damned if you do in these situations, I don't envy their position at all. :(

And I thought it was odd that a photo I saw of the back of AG's suv said something like "come home Big T"

Big T? Why so jovial? Why not Help Me Find My Sister-Tara Grinstead! Missing/Tara Grinstead and a number to call with info?
Here's the link to that photo:

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.crimelibrary.com/graphics/photos/criminal_mind/forensics/tara_grinstead/PG-Tara%27s-sister%27s-car-wind.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/forensics/tara_grinstead/photo_3.html&h=180&w=240&sz=16&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=umAN6bLbCWgPOM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=110&prev=/images%3Fq%3DAnita%2BGattis%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den %26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8


IMO, if you go back and look at the video of FG's interview with Nancy Grace, she was unemotional, hard edged, cold and short with her answers. I particularly noticed that at one point she almost seemed to catch herself when she left Anita out something. The part of the interview was about the piece of furniture Tara used to have in her playhouse when she was little....and she followed up very quickly by saying something like
"and Anita used it too," or something to that effect. I sensed that AG may have been jealous of TG all her life and FG was trained to make sure not to leave AG out, hence the quick addition to make sure to include AG. I'm just giving my own thoughts, of course, but it sure raised a flag for me.

Did I understand correctly that Tara's mom did not go to Tara's while police were there?

And most of us want to know when Anita was notified that Faye was concerned about Tara. AND we'd also like to know what time Larry got back from his "run" and how long it took them to get to Ocilla? I was told they got there after the GBI had arrived and was gone? Is that true?

As I said before, as "in your face" as she seems, and as controlling as she comes across, I'm sorry but I don't see her painting her nails waiting on LG to get back from a supposed "jog", sorry. If her concern for
Tara was genuine, seems like she would have left a pot boiling on the stove and abandoned all issues. She didn't. Why the wait? What was more important?

IMO, something was fake. Was it the fake response to Tara being missing, or was it the reactions afterwards?

I'm not accusing, but I have asked myself what are those two hiding?

I also admit that I'd like to know whether or not Tara's mom has questioned why Anita has given so many wrong tidbits of information in this case and if Faye didn't call Anita, how did that make Anita feel? If she didn't call to notify her, then what was the cause of tension? Was it something recent? OR, was it that Anita wasn't HOME and couldn't be reached? Were she AND her husband "unreachable" during this time? Where were they?

Hey, I'll go one further and say that when LG announced that he failed a lie detector test about a rumored affair with Tara, I even wondered if Anita caught them, she hurt Tara and if Tara threatened to send her to jail and ruin her life, I had to ask if AG may have put her somewhere to keep her quiet? I know, I know. Some of you will think I'm saying that I think this is what happened and I DO NOT. I'm just saying it was part of my processing when I heard AG and LG speaking about him failing a lie detector test about an affair, so it was their own admissions to the failure of the test that sent me down that path of plausibility in that area.

Where is Tara?
Do you really, really believe what you say is true? And can you write it like it's true? And really believe it? Because if you can, and if you can put it into manuscript form, I'd like to hook you up with a fiction publisher friend of mine in Chicago. He's looking for some fresh talent on a series of Science Fiction books he's been working on and needs someone who can really live and breathe through the characters they create, in order to engulf the reader of the book enough to push the entire series quickly to the best seller list. Kind of like Lemony Snicket's books, only more serious. The chapter about the furniture in the playhouse would be a sure sell. Really, if you are interested, PM me. You have superior talent for writing fiction. I can hook you up, no problem.

Don't be so condescending when there is a missing person's case. Especially when red flags are raised. Many, many times it is family members who harm so this is not out of the question.Whether it is the answer is still up for grabs.

IMO, and it took me awhile to understand a crime message board, there is a following that views cases such as TG as a pastime or hobby. TG, LG, FG, B & C G, MH, HD, etc are mere characters in this "reality" play in which these hobbyists can participate...a cyber reality show. The problem with the TG case is that there is little evidence to discuss, so it has to be either manufactured or the little known facts turned and twisted for the play to continue. AG and LG, I suppose some are starting to include FG, B & C G, are simply convenient targets now much as MH was in 05. There are some who simply do not like the Ga or Gr family, so you have the implications on this board and others...it is clear to me what is being implied.

In dysfunctional families it could be lack of recognition,it could be that a boundary was crossed over. It is never clear but it is never reasonable. There will always be something up for grabs. Mostly stupid stuff that no one thinks about twice.

Dear heart with your 6 posts. Most of us have been here for a long time just as long as Tara has been missing. There is not a day that goes by when I am not looking for her. Never a day. I look at everything. There is no one that is not looked at and I even invited LE to look at me. Of course, that is pretty boring and they concluded the same thing.

My point is that I won't stop looking. I will help look for Tara Grinstead.All the time. All the time.

This is not an unfair characterization, at least of my initial interest in the case, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this. As one of those "detached observers" I have to agree that for me, personally, there is a great deal of objectivity that comes from the fact that no matter how hard I try, those initials you mention, with the possible exception of Tara herself, are just "characters" - which is both the advantage and disadvantage of a forum such as this. In so many cases, the victim knows the perpetrator, or the victim herself had some secrets - if the constraints of the discussions (or of real investigations) are that some people or issues are off-limits, what would be the point?

I believe that the objectivity that arises out of wanting to know the truth about what happened to her without the inherent biases that come from those who know her friends and family is a positive thing, assuming the goal is to find Tara, and not protect certain individuals, regardless of who they might be. Yes, there is an inherent coldness to this process - which is why I'll never understand why those who are intimate with the family and get so upset at the speculation frequent venues such as this, especially since they've told us over and over again that we know nothing and that we contribute nothing. (I'm not in any way implying that they should stay away - I'm just trying to understand, especially if LE and the GBI are already monitoring the forums for odd activity.)

No offense is meant, mjj287, but surely there are better venues and other opportunities for people to say nice things about the family than a Court TV message board? Although there is a thread at the top of this forum for that very purpose, to offer prayers. The reason I (and many others) who post here is not to say nice things, it's to engage in a discussion of the case from an objective perspective.

I haven't seen anyone be cruel. I think Kelloggirl hit the nail right upon the head.

I've seen posters be nasty to other posters... but that's no big whoop to me. The posters on this forum aren't the subject matter, no matter how many times people try to do that.

I am a very "cold" person when viewing a case. To me everyone is on the same footing. There are no sacred cows.

I totally agree with what you say BFD .. There should be "no sacred cows" in a missing persons case.

What really gets to me is, everytime "questions" are raised regarding AG and LG there is a great hue and cry from some quarters and I really have to question WHY?.

I was taught years ago that if you tell a lie loud enough and long enough, people will believe it. I've found that to be very true, especially considering who taught me that line.

I was a boy crazy 16 yr old and got involved in a religious cult, after seeing all the cute boys in it. While I quickly saw thru their bull, my mother didn't and she followed me into the cult the next year. I spent the next 20 yrs hanging around the cult in an attempt to keep them from abusing her and lying to her too much. I finally had to walk away at that point in time, once all the sex and rapes from the founder and the man he appointed to take the helm once he retired became known. My mom, refused to listen or read about any of it, she stuck her head up her .. in the sand .. and is still in the cult to this day, 31 years after joining it. She's a total different person than the lady who raised me. I will never stop loving her, but I do not like what they turned her in to over time.

I don't know if that applies to this case or not, but I can sure see some similarities. Every time anyone posts anything about Tara's sister or her husband, new nicknames come out of the woodwork and do their utmost to tear down the person or persons who did the posts. As previously asked .. why do they do that?

Were they with Anita and Larry 24/7 that whole weekend? It seems Anita wants to point a finger at one person only, the one with a solid alibi. Yet I haven't seen her account for all their time yet, but admit I could have missed that. Please, someone tell me if you know.

Crime buffs aren't known for being PC. We tend to be very blunt and matter of fact. We don't post hurtful things to intentionally hurt Tara's family, we post to try to figure out who the perp is. Everyone has to be looked at and that can cause feelings to get hurt if the ones being discussed have never had much contact with LE and the way they do investigations.

What cult is your mother in? If all that illegal activity is going on and you can do something about it, why don't you? I think that's awful that your mother is treated that way. I know you said you are disabled or something, but can't you get someone else to help your mother to get out of the cult? It's not the same cult they are talking about in one of the other CTV forums is it? That one sounded very bad also. I don't see what that has to do with Tara's situation, but it's still bad for your mother to suffer that way.

Accusations and assumptions are being made without any evidence or proof. I read back and it has been going on for 10 months now. Many individuals have been attacked and violated by association. Sad but true. Mr. & Mrs. G**** are now the "flavor of the month." Next month, new chapter with new subjects and more accusations.

I'm not comfy saying the name of it openly, as I post on a forum of ex members with this same nickname and my picture. The cult has members who actively search online to find those who speak out against them and make it hard on any remaining family members. At 80+ yrs of age, she's too brainwashed to leave them, so all I can do is not upset her and try to keep a line of communication open until she passes on. If they would connect me to my mom via something I said online, she would be told to never speak to me again, that I'm possessed and evil. I know she would do as told and I'm not ready to lose the little bit of time on the phone she will give to me, once every month or so when I give her a call.

I used the cult to show how I learned about those who tell a lie long enough and loud enough are believed by many without question. Sincerity is no guarantee for truth. I saw first hand how things said can be twisted to have a totally different meaning and many were hurt. Needless to say, since I am not the type to do as told without question, I was always getting into trouble back then. LOL.

The men that were abusing the women are long gone. One is dead and the other was fired after it all came out and a lawsuit was filed by a lady who was abused by him. This all happened many years ago, but the damage was done and they went from 100,000 members in the '80's to around 2000 today.

This is a normal thing. When someone comes up missing or dead, anyone they had an association with is looked at closely by LE and others following the case, to make sure their alibis hold water.

It's very easy for the questions to be stopped. Anita can easily say where she was and what she was doing the weekend Tara went missing. Her husband can do the same. Once their alibis check out, their names wouldn't be brought up again in the same way.

Instead of getting upset when you read such posts, if you are a local, why don't you ask Anita and her husband where they were? Tell them the questions have come up on this forum and you would like to post and answer the people that asked them. Seems like a very simple thing to do, since they say they have nothing to hide. It's when nothing is said, when they claim a LDT was wrong, when they change their stories, etc., that questions will come up. Once answered, there is no need to ask again.

Ok, for all of you who said the searchers had permission with this recent search, give me initials of the landowner who gave you the permission, let's determine if we are even discussing the same person. I will go back to the relative and ask if these initials are the same as their family member, and we can put this matter to rest. In otherwords, lets find out if we are even discussing the same person first. If you don't want to do this on board, send it in a pm. I will ask the person and get back to you.


Amaizie why don't you just send it to results via pm? HUH? I have a feeling I know why you are dancing around now but, you can easily send it through pm and not worry about it right? When you say Results has no credibility, let's remember your first couple of posts on this forum. You attempted to bring in a person to start more gossip without any foundation, posted a hit and run with no back up and ran off when people questioned you. As a result your post was removed by the Mod of this forum. In my book, Results holds way more credibility on this forum then you do.

I can answer the question for ME about Larry and Anita. I have met them, I have been on searches with them, I have seen them cry, I have seen them so tired they could barely go, I have heard them pray, I have seen the effort they have put forth for Tara, I have talked with them about their relationship with Tara, I have seen the tears in Gabes eyes. I have seen Anita have to take the parent role now since Faye is so ill. NOW WHAT DO YOU BASE YOUR OPINION OF THEM ON?

As a mom myself, my heart aches for Faye - her failed health the result of not knowing what has become of Tara.

As a sister myself, I am saddened by Anita's suffering, and the role she has chosen to assume, due to her mom's failing health.

May God bless the family, and those who search for Tara. May their efforts prove fruitful in finding Tara. My thoughts and prayers are with Tara's family, friends, and all who dedicate their lives and time in finding her.

In all honesty, you are one of only a few who has shared this view on here, there are far more negative feelings then positive in regard to them on here, wouldn't you agree? If you sat from afar and read some of the things that others have posted that caused questions, would you hesitate to ask? My questions are generally in line with things that don't make sense to me so I ask for clarification. Many of the locals have shared their own personal experiences either on this forum or others via pm or a post, it is one thing if one person came here and posted one thing, but there are a number of things from alot of different people. Should they all be ignored? My opinion is NO. There are way to many things to ignore. I think you can see by the articles with links, there are varying stories, interviews, etc. it makes one question which story is correct. It is not abnormal to want to understand why so many differing stories and to also want to understand the real story. If the ultimate goal is to find Tara, then there should not be finger pointing in one direction, limiting those that are "the chosen ones" to help, nobody should be off limits in discussion if there is a connection, etc. In short, the more open one is the better chances of finding the truth of why Tara is missing. I can't see limiting conversation/discussion as being beneficial at all. Do you?

I am sure a lot or most of your information came from the group that decided to dislike Tara due to personal problems. I am saying I have talked with Anita and Larry I know what they are like away from the cameras in a calm relaxed setting. I Know how much this has affected their lives, I have asked personal question that no message board will ever see, and they answered with honesty and sometimes tears. I feel you have the right to your opinions BUT we do to. When TT's admin was under fire I did take up for them, When their private info was put up I was one of the first to say it was not right, look back it's there. I just feel a lot of opinions have been influnced from the ones that dislike AG and LG for whatever reason. Again I say I know them personally, they are good people that love Tara and had much more time together than you guys know, Ever wonder Where most of the Pics of Tara were taken. I will continue to support AG, LG, GG, FG BG and CG and feel good about it. I hope you read this post in the way I have written it, I don't want to fuss, I want Justice and peace for this family.

There's a huge difference between appearing 'cold' because you are just looking at information and analyzing it- i.e. being objective and analytical - compared to calling a frail, upset mother of a missing woman cold and uncaring because based on someone's opinion she took a pause (supposedly) while speaking on national television as she sifted through her missing daughter's cherished belongings. Huge difference. Not to mention the same person who said this did not even take the time to read and consider the different possibilities given to them (in direct response to their original question) as to why Faye would have looked for Tara in Hawkinsville first. So, right then and there I knew that there was no real quest for information or 'sleuthing' going on, that was apparent. Anyone who can come up with a million different unrelated excuses to defend such behavior is no true 'crime buff', imo. :rolleyes:

I will say that I have never seen you say a mean-spirited thing about anyone and that you have also shown a fairness about yourself in regards to people being unfairly demonized. I'll acknowledge that. You're one of the few that have done that.

But I do take offense (not personally, just in a general sense) that just because someone may question Anita's or Larry's public behaviors and/or words, does not necessarily equate to people "disliking" them. Heck, there are some behaviors I dislike about my own family members, doesn't mean I dislike them as a person.

I have neither a like or dislike for Anita or Larry. I don't know them from Adam. So, please don't misconstrue objective, unemotional responses as "dislike". Nor should you think people have been "talked into" disliking them from other people. I am a very independent thinker that can make determinations from my own observations.

This is just my take on things. I don't speak for anyone else.

I feel you have the right to your opinions BUT we do to. When TT's admin was under fire I did take up for them, When their private info was put up I was one of the first to say it was not right, look back it's there. I just feel a lot of opinions have been influnced from the ones that dislike AG and LG for whatever reason. Again I say I know them personally, they are good people that love Tara and had much more time together than you guys know, Ever wonder Where most of the Pics of Tara were taken. I will continue to support AG, LG, GG, FG BG and CG and feel good about it. I hope you read this post in the way I have written it, I don't want to fuss, I want Justice and peace for this family. In the entire time I have posted on this forum or elsewhere in regard to this case, I have NEVER heard anybody say they dislike Tara. I have read questions in regard to her actions, but for the purposes of exploring her disappearance, and no other reason. How people feel in regard to Anita and Larry have alot to do with their own personal experiences, just as your feelings have to do with your own experiences with them. I don't hear much in the way of BG, CG and FG other then that many wish they would make some public statements. I don't wish to take away from your opinions and personal experiences with them, but there are very few who have shared such an experience. With that being said because nobody knows what happened to Tara, I feel open discussion is a step/one step in the right direction in finding out what happened to Tara.

BFD, back long ago in the beginning of this we were all on a chat forum, started very soon after the disappearance. We discussed all the things I see you all discussing now, we went into great details and searched and reserched together. We watched all the interviews and questioned all the things you question now. I was vocal on the faults I saw with the interviews. I was helping with the food, poster, prayer list in local churches type things, and Anita was always so sweet when I went to the Center. Still I had my opinion. But then I went on the searches, we had social gatherings as a group, we became friends. We have talked to them personally about these things you are asking now and all I can see is "Good people trying to struggle through a bad situatuion". Anita is the type sister mine as always been to me. There is about the same age difference between Anita and Tara as my sister and myself. My sister lives much closer than Hawkinsville but we do not talk everday, we do not visit ever week, our lifestyles are so different and have always been. But my sister just like Anita had a big part in raising their younger sisters. Now that my sister and I are all thats left of our family if I got a call she was missing or late for work I would rush over there, but it was not always that way , I would have laughed and said she was shopping. I would have become worried after the police got there and it became a missing persons case and I would have felt guilty BUT I would not have been real upset on a Monday morning because I would know my sister was an adult.

I know my opinion sways no one but it is my opinion and some of the things that people have said and asked for on these boards should have been handled in PMs or e-mail IMO.

Thank you for the kind words at the first of your post, I do not want to hurt anyone I get mad when either side get firey BUT we do sometimes tend to ask for it and this is a very emotional case with locals and with poster from far away, BUT we do sometimes tend to ask for it![/B]

"They will pay for the ugly attitude they have it makes me so angry that they can even use Our Tara's name in their forum."



I consider that mean spirited, unfair, and demonic. Send up a prayer for her and the rest of us, quick.



NOW go back and ask these people did I not post an apology on this CTV forum, on the CB forum and on the TT forum. I dislike the way they allow some things on their boards but I have never attacked these people personally., but I have taken up for them when others attacked them. They were my friends and I truly hope someday when this is settled hard feelings will die.

I do not mind your jabs just read back and see, if not so be it.

May God bless the family, and those who search for Tara. May their efforts prove fruitful in finding Tara. My thoughts and prayers are with Tara's family, friends, and all who dedicate their lives and time in finding her.

Who is the judge of what does, or does not, relate to Tara's disappearance? Anita? You? Me? None of the above.

I think any and all questions are relevant until answers are found which lead to an end to this whole situation.

If 'Results' thinks those questions are relative to Tara's disappearance, so be it.

I am not Anita. For the second time, I have only posted under the name Jond.

I am not judging what relates in the post...I am asking "how", how does it relate to TG disappearance. For example, if AG had not been to TG house in 10 years, 10 months or 10 days - how does that connect AG to TG disappearance? I did not ask this of every question. I am trying to understand.

I have stated before, when all is said and done, I believe this case will be simple in terms of motivation and crime. No conspiracy, none of the wild scenarios. IMO, its the unknown POI #6.

No one knows if it "connects" Anita to anything.

I can discern a question versus an accusation. Accusations are being made against AG & LG and there is no basis. I can distinguish between a relevant question and a question designed only to malign. This is not directed at Results post...in that post I do want to see how those questions relate to TG disappearance, or perhaps more reasonably, some could simply start a thread called "I don't like the G, and you don't either."

Ok I will bite. It doesn't CONNECT her to Tara's disappearance not at all.
BUT it does help to understand how much she knew about Tara since she seems to be the one that is most heavily involved.
Your example of 10 years, 10 months etc. How would Anita know what was missing from the home and what wasn't? How would she know what Tara might have been wearing if she wasn't that close to her sister?
If Anita wasn't that close to her sister so be it but IF there was someone that was closer to Tara would they be allowed to come in help without stepping on Anita's toes? IMO, probably not.

I believe if some of the 'questions' you call 'accusations' were actually answered by Anita, Larry, or anyone with direct knowledge, a lot of things would change. Others have opinions and the right to question and/or accuse them, just like you do not wish to do. Until they explain their conduct in some fashion, the questions, accusations, and suspicions will only increase IMO.

Original questions by results, answers posted by jond and my comments added to the mix:

OK, I will read your reply to these underlined ( I think ) questions:

1.) How long had it been since you was at Tara's house?

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

It establishes how often the two sisters saw each other in person as opposed to just dropping an email now and then, which has already been established.

2.) Were you ever at Tara's house, ever been in it?

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

It again establishes how close they were as sisters/family. If she didn't visit often when Tara was living there, it makes some question why Tara's mom didn't take the lead instead of Anita. Yes I'm aware her mom is sick, I'm sick too, to the point I use a chair outside my apartment, but I wouldn't let that stop me from finding a lost child.

3.) When was the last time that you talked to Tara?

No answer for this one? It again would establish how often the sisters talked either face to face or on the phone, possibly in IM if they were internet people.

4.) Is it true that Tara hated to be called big T because she had a complex about her size and you put big T on your windows of your vehicle?

What is the source for this statement and you are stating AG is obviously & blatantly insulting her (more than likely ) deceased sister. Isn't that a a stretch even by message board standards?

If this comment is on Anita's car, then it should be easy enough to answer for her.

5.) Is it true that you made such a big scene about Tara's personal belongings at the school but would not pick those items up and Bill Grinstead went to the school to retreive her personal items?

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

If she was so concerned and cared so much for Tara, wouldn't she have gone to the school asap to collect whatever Tara had there? It's been posted many times about how Tara was very caring about her belongings, a neat freak if you will. I would think a family member would honor that part of her personality and get to the school quickly to retrieve the items there. When they are left there and not collected, it makes people question why, especially since Anita had thrown a fit over them previously.

6.) Is it true that you turned away help because those individuals did not believe MH harmed her?

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

If the police got a fixation on just one person after a crime was committed, when he had a solid alibi, there would be a horrendous amount of innocent people in our prison system.

7.) Is it true that you are protecting HD and will not allow any discussing about him?

No answer to this one?

8.) Is it true that you opened a MYspace.com and demanded another one to be closed because they were stealing your glory? on this one remember there are PM's from you stating this and more

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

It reeks of jealousy to many people and if there was a jealousy problem, it would fit why she got so offended by anyone other than herself opening a forum to try to help find Tara.

9.) Is it true that after staying with some very nice people in Ocilla that you were asked to leave their home and why were you asked to leave?

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

It relates to a possible personality flaw when someone is asked to leave a dwelling they were offered a place to stay in for awhile. You normally aren't asked to leave, unless you have causes a scene or problem with the host.

10.) Why did your story change all the time in your interviews?

No answer for this one?

11.) One last question for you AG on the picture with CB at 1:00 AM on Tara's front porch .. CB looked like she was exhausted and you, AG, you looked like you won the lottery, the sad part AG is that CB looked like she had lost a loved one and you were the psychic, why?"

How does this relate to TG disappearance?

Sounds like 15 minutes of fame to me, but I could be wrong, I don't know the woman. I can only judge by her actions seen on news programs and in news articles released to the public since Tara disappeared.

jond
08-10-2006, 08:22 PM
OK, I'll take that, BikerB. The reason for "No answer to this one?" is I could see the relevance of that question. For whatever reason, AG closeness, or lack thereof, to TG has never been a focus for me nor a distraction, for me it is not even an issue.

I have to question her motives. I see a woman who's husband emailed her sister more than she did. The same husband that failed the question on the LTD asking if he had an affair with Tara. (Had I failed that test, I would have asked to retest asap to get the record straight. Why didn't he do that?)

As has been posted many times in here, the perp could be reading along on all the Tara forums to keep up with what everyone is saying about the case. Perps are known for getting as involved in a case as they can, in order to distract attention from themselves and keep on top of it. I'm not saying Anita is responsible, but it can be made to look that way until she speaks out and answers the questions.

I would like to know why she doesn't reply to them. If she has nothing to hide, then why not answer? I sure would if I was in her position, if for no other reason that to get everyone's curiousity settled and to show them I was innocent, then they could return to looking at other information and POI.

jond
08-10-2006, 08:50 PM
AG does not have the power over LE that some attribute to her. I give LE enough credit not to be distracted by what some here term dysfunction. Any statement desired of AG or LG or FG or BG or CG may satisfy curiosity on this board, but I doubt LE is being swayed or delayed by that same curiosity.

How could it not be a factor?

Anita is being used as the Encyclopedia Britannica of Tara Grinstead by many people.

If she wasn't that close to Tara, it would have a huge amount of relevance in regards to knowing how much weight to put on Anita's comments. (knowing Tara's habits, knowing her frame of mind in the weeks prior to her going missing, knowing her clothing or other personal belongs that may need to be indentified, etc.)

So, if Anita hadn't spoke to her sister in months prior to her disappearance, just how much of an authority is she on Tara's day to day habits?

She was mentioning what Tara "always" did or "never" did. Rather presumptuous if they weren't that close, don't you think?

And then it would all turn back unto itself and put a great big question mark up in the air wanting to know "why?" did Anita attempt to alter the perception? (If that has been the case)

Understanding Tara's relationship with everyone is important. That's typically one of the first things examined in a missing person's case.

Nope, but I've seen it posted many times on this forum that he admitted he failed the question and saw another post some time ago that claimed he hyperventilated which messed up the test.

I think he originally talked about it on one of the TV shows, but am not sure since I don't have a TV here to see any of the shows on. Hopefully someone else can answer this for you.

I didn't want to spoil everyone's fun by not allowing you to go ten miles down this road of "Anita and Tara hadn't spoken in months..." before I let you know that Anita spoke to Tara just a few days before the weekend she went missing. They had a very nice, normal, sisterly conversation.

IMO Blood is thicker than water. And sometimes the motive is dysfunction whether you believe it or not. I will spend the time exposing it and let others decide but I won't arbitrarily agree with a statement when I see so much other things going on.

Don't denigrate me for a few visions. I didn't ask for them nor do I know why. My postings are based in real time. The visions are something else..I shared that is all.I am still me and I still base everything on real life experiences.

And to add to your confusion, I do know Tara. Not in the sense that you do. How's that for a double entendre?

Huh?

The question doesn't make sense.

The line of questioning (per Larry) was that they said something to the effect that Anita caught them twice or something like that.

So, if Anita "caught them", then she knew. It wouldn't be a big whoop-de-whoop if Larry told her he failed that question.

Good point. Maybe someone will get it soon.

And you don't think Tara's own sister wants her found more than you want Tara found?

Warning! Rampant Speculation About AG Ahead!
Of course she does - which may be the problem, actually. Personally, I believe wholeheartedly that Anita does want to find Tara - but I think it's very very possible that this strong desire to find her sister has resulted in tunnel vision to the prevalence of focusing on one avenue of investigation - and it's perfectly understandable if this were the case.

I know personally I would find it soooo much easier to turn all my sadness and rage and frustration and uncertainty around the fact that my sibling was missing towards a target that I believed, in my heart of hearts, would eventually yield the answers I was looking for. Righteous anger is much easier to deal with than prolonged hopelessness and uncertainty. And it's quite easy at first glance to look towards MH (I know I did for a long time, and am still not 100% convinced) - on the surface the pieces maybe fit at one point, and maybe there were some other underlying factors that we don't know about that predisposed AG towards this point of view. On the other hand, if it's not MH, then who? Long-time family friend HD? Not very palatable. Other dates and acquaintances? What else is there? Nothing else but doubt, unanswered questions, uncertainty, lack of closure, and nowhere to go, nothing to really do but wait and occasionally search. That is the heartbreaking part of missing person cases - the not knowing. So IF this is occurring - it makes sense - doesn't make it right, but it's a common coping mechanism.

So, what many of the posters on this forum are asking by noting inconsistencies, at the most basic level, is if AG, the point person and family spokesperson on the investigation, is sufficiently cold and open to be honest about events and her relationship with Tara to ensure that information is not passed through her own filter that shares information that 1)is correct and 2)doesn't support one theory while leaving out that which is deemed not to be relevant (which would totally probably be something she wouldn't even be aware of on a conscious level)?

Another possibility, which BFD raised, is that some of these inconsistencies can arise from Tara herself. If Tara was having certain relationships she didn't want someone to know about, what could she have said to cover up meetings with someone? Making excuses about being upset about an ex-boyfriend's actions makes a great alibi for a woman needing to get together with a man.

Of course, AG or the family don't owe any of us any answers - I just hope that the GBI and LE is getting absolutely objective information, and that anyone who does feel they know the answers, can provide them on this board without blasting people for asking and getting defensive.

Next theory?

Well that's nice to hear. Since I've been asking that question for months.

Now, does this particular "story" have as much truthfulness in it as the "Marcus yelling at Tara and Rhett Roberts" story?

"Someone" (not sure who) has a great propensity to lie their ass off about this case. And I have to question why someone would feel the need to lie, unless they had something to hide and/or coverup. Obviously an agenda is in play... let's just hope it's not an agenda to cover up a wrongdoing.

If dysfunction was a strong motive I'd have to say that most of the families of the message board posters would be in danger, but honestly, do you actually believe that? Or was that largely based on a vision you had? Are you psychic? Have you had visions on other cases or just Tara's?

You come in asking for a link to something. And then the freaking link has the very things I'm talking about... and you all of a sudden have the answers out of the blue.

You don't even know about Larry's interview with Greta and what he said, but yet you know what is right and wrong?

You're contradicting the very man you're trying to defend.

Damn, if you're going to lie to coverup for someone, at least talk to them beforehand and understand what the hell the story is supposed to be.

From the same link:

They asked me about rumors about a supposed affair I had had with Tara. Supposedly Anita had observed this on two different occasions. And, at this point, I became concerned that maybe the investigation, the questioning of me was more in the way of harassment actually than part of their investigation.

GRACE: Anita Gattis, how often did you speak to her on the phone?

GATTIS: Sometimes we may go a couple of weeks and not speak, but we e-mailed quite frequently.

GRACE: Would you say every day or every other day?

GATTIS: Every other day on the e-mail.

This is the only 'public' information I've seen about Anita's communication with Tara. I'm glad to know they spoke a few days before the weekend she went missing though. That's certainly new information.

Let's stop attacking any of the family. Wether AG was close to Tara makes no difference. That doesn't mean she didn't love Tara and wants here back with the WHOLE family!! JMO

Cleared??

Crime Library ~ Seamus McGraw ~ 1/30/06

quote: Frustrated by the scrutiny and what he believed to be heavy-handed treatment by the investigators, Gattis said he underwent a polygraph test — he says he demanded it, law enforcement sources strongly dispute that, which sources have said he passed — and also decided to speak publicly about the treatment he received at the hands of investigators. And his decision to speak out, he said, has tempered the treatment he has received from investigators. "They've been a little nicer," Gattis said, adding that he received a telephone call late last week from the GBI brass informing him that he was no longer in the investigators' cross hairs. Law enforcement sources also dispute that, saying they have ruled no one in or out as a result of the investigation thus far. :end quote

You know I have to tell you that that is what the problem is we have got this false information from AG, herself. I don't know if she is nervous or what but the information she kept giving is either 1.) she didn't know and guessed 2.) she is trying to sell her story on MH and will change story when needed or 3.) she is asking people that she thinks were close to Tara and might know things about Tara.

We started at the beginning of AG interviews to today's interviews. Please show me where I am wrong?

But, I will tell you this when I just couldn't take being quiet about AG is when her Mother, FG, spent Mothers Day alone. One daughter could not be there and AG should have in my opinion not let her Mother sat alone on Mothers Day! You can run me in the dirt, make smart remarks but YOU will never make me be able to swallow it was OK to do that to FG. None of you will! Go ahead and preach how wrong I am for saying things about AG but they are my opinions. No one can be wrong about their opinions, but you ARE wrong about your facts.

Now, I ask you, was that a friendly "thanks for the info" response? No, it wasn't. You didn't like my answer so you decided to try to discredit it.

Oh BTW, I searched the word "bashing" on CTV and it's used over 14,000 times. So it couldn't be me that said it.

No.

But see, here's the rub:

I asked specifically, many time, when was the last time Anita has spoke to Tara before she went missing.

It was completely ignored. No one wanted to broach that subject.

Now, today, out of the blue, you decide to answer the question. Can you understand why I find that suspect? Why not answer months ago when I asked? (It's possible you didn't see me ask months ago; but I know you saw me ask just the other day; no answer then)

So, your recent desire to be forthright is appreciated. But I honestly do have to ask how much weight I can put on it.

Just as you would question the veracity of my statements. Right?

At the present time (let's not play around) we would consider each other "adversaries". Not that that has a negative connotation. It doesn't in this sense.

But, as adversaries, we need to be wary of what is being told to us. Both of us perceive people across from us as having an "agenda". So, we tap dance around each other here and there. And the tap dance will continue until a trust can be built.

At the present time I have zero trust for zorro, popcorn and mannequin. All because of the Rhett Roberts issue. I know what Rhett Roberts has said about this. Now, if they want to claim they are totally relying upon Maria or some alleged email, that's fine. But the trust factor comes down to where they're claiming Rhett Roberts is backing up this story when I know that is not the case. (See my predicament?)

If people will quit playing the games. Forget the "secret information" and "I know stuff" crap... and just be honest with what they do or do not know, it would make things so much simpler.

I had no desire to really know until people kept claiming Marcus was a murdering ******* and one piece of the evidence proving that was the way he yelled at Tara and Rhett one day.

That was what got my attention.

The fact people were lapping this rumor up as "fact".

It came to a head when someone stated it was a "fact" that this event occurred.

I was informed by my source that Rhett didn't have the slightest idea about what people were talking about when he was asked about it a few months back.

As I've stated, my source is very reliable. Rhett stated this in front of witnesses. Another individual that is close to Rhett has just confirmed my source's information again.

So, it's not a rumor.

Keep believing it. I would say you're going to look stupid once the truth finally comes out of Rhett's own mouth either via an interview or via a trial... but by the time that occurs, you'll be sixteen nicknames removed from this one.

And I would much rather start a rumor that something "didn't happen", rather than falsely accusing someone of "doing something" they didn't.

Are you saying that because an article has quoted remarks it makes the entire article objective and/or credible?

If yes, how about articles that have unnamed sources? You have been one of the first row fighters when it comes Tara's emails,
well what about unnamed sources where articles go? Wouldn't your assertion that unless a person is identified, there is little reliability or authentication available?


just wondering...



:seeya:

Why was it removed?

I don't care about "unnamed" sources as long as there are "direct quotes". Direct quotes provide culpability.

Often a writer will paraphrase. A person needs to be aware of that.

Yep.

And it's a rumor I don't mind spreading. Because no one is harmed.

Unlike the rumors about people murdering, covering up murders, conspiring to murder, etc., ad nauseum.

Those are the types of rumors that ruin people's lives.

Mine won't ruin anyone's life.

How about (since you're a local) you go ask Rhett about this?

Would you mind pointing me in the direction of that particular statement coming from law enforcement?

And being a "person of interest" is a hell of a lot different than coming right out and saying they "murdered Tara". Trust me, that is libel. Criminal and civil. And all of you should be thanking your lucky stars that Marcus is a decent person and hasn't pressed charges or brought suit yet.

Sean Flecther is his alibi? As if that's a crime? He's an upstanding cop doing his job and some nutjob who couldn't figure out how to implicate Marcus without implicating his ablibi got that ball rolling.

And Michael Lankford is not confirmed to have tried to kill himself. He overdosed. That's all that's known at this time. Rather libelous to say he tried to kill himself, don't you think?

You obviously do NOT know much about criminal libel in the state of Georgia. Or you would be talking in measured tones.

Though, this reminds me of some people that have anger and control issues... you can point them in the right direction over and over... but they always tend to self-destruct. And you seem to be working on that angle right now.

They aren't as stupid acting as you, they don't want to ruine the case.

LOL

"Playing detective"? Sonny, I used to get paid to be a detective. LMAO

But you'd be surprised what the "family's investigator" has shared with everyone and their grandmother.

But you are right about one thing. Absolutely no investigator working for law enforcement (in their right mind) will share information with anybody (including you, Anita or anyone else) that is a civilian. And that is how it should be. And is also a pretty good reason why I haven't asked anyone in law enforcement to share anything with me. I already understand protocol. (Though, some LE have inadvertently shared things with me, unknowingly).

I have the resources and the know how to get most of the answers I want.

Explain me this: you have a script that tells you to take as needed, how many do you take? You have a couple different scripts that you do NOT discuss with your doctor or pharmacist prior to taking, then after taking both at the same time, you OD. You still would say this is a suicide attempt?

Those are the normal causes of an OD if the person isn't a true drug addict. Medical addicts are always aware (if they've got one working brain cell) that OD is a possibility from drug interactions and they normally are very careful of adding any new drug their doc gives them into the mix.

One way a former addict will OD is to give in to cravings and take the same amount of drugs he used to ingest, which by then is way too much, given your tolerance to the drug goes down when you aren't using daily. The result is accidential OD. Another way is buying street drugs from an unknown dealer and getting a bag that is from a stronger batch than you realize, then you OD.

Nothing a good shot of Narcan (Naloxone) won't help if given in time.

Do you always make seemingly truthful comments about things you have no knowledge of?

As one one of the searchers on this case, I have to tell you that as information comes in since the beginning, things that were originally said have been updated with the correct information. That is why the differences in the stories. Anita did not change her story deliberately, but she simply updated them to what she knew to be a fact at that time. That I hope will explain the differences in the stories.

When people are dealing with a missing person, I think it is very hard to think straight, due to the fact that they want to wake up from this nightmare. When you have media on the scene, that is a very hard thing to deal with and try and keep your head straight to answer the questions being asked, especially when you are still trying to sort things out in your head about how to find your missing loved one.

Anita has had alot to deal with. She has been trying to find her sister by checking out every tip that comes in even if it was from a psychic, she has had a couple of deaths in her family, and now she is taking care of her mother. To be honest, I don't have a clue how Anita is still sane after all of these months. She has got to be totally worn out.

I hope this post will maybe give everyone some insight about the story changing. Anita would never just change her story like that unless new updates were there for her to change a story.

I am sure I will be bashed and my post will be picked apart. I hope that doesn't happen.

M71 - you spend a lot of time doing research on the internet. Sometimes though if you go directly to the source - your questions will be answered. Did you go directly to the admins of the board and ask your questions?

That is such an easy option and your questions could be answered. Instead you have a whole list of questions and your post insinuates something is not right.

Why would you ask your questions on an open board rather than the actual source?

There are many of us out here reading, who do not post. But, with the recent discussion of slander and libel I wanted to make a comment.

In most states the charges of slander are hard to prove. It must be proven that the rumor, innuendo, or lie was created to defame a person and has to have a malicious intent. It must also be proven that the lie...is a lie and not a truth. It must also be proven that the lie was created by the one being charged and in a malicious manner.
Note* (as an example) It would be rather hard to follow a rumor back to the original source, especially when the internet is involved, and post's have been removed. It would take a court order to ctv to prove a statement was posted here, it would be a monumental task. Although, a situation arising from such a law suit in itself would clear up a rumor, and undo some of its damage. Which is what celebrities do to clear their name.

If the above is proven. And if the lie caused the victim to lose face in the workplace, or if that person was fired from a job because of the lie, or if the person was discredited to the degree that it caused that person to lose income in their business, than that is libel.

In most cases, when a charge of slander is placed, a simple retraction or apology remedies the situation.
Although some celebrities have gone the length and received compensation when a libel charge was followed through, undoubtedly it would cost a fortune to take a case that far, that is why there are so few libel cases that reach maturity, and those are usually wealthy celebrities.

I am not in GA, and do not pretend to know the law there, but this has been my understanding about slander and libel.

Good post, but one slight correction. Repeating something libelous (or slanderous) makes that person just as culpable as the person it originated from.

Georgia is one of the few states that still has criminal libel on the books. It's not necessarily just a civil matter with monetary damages attached. It can actually mean jail time.

Yes, your right.... I do believe the secondhand person would have to have been proven to know it is a lie, and have malicious intent as well?.

Especially when so many people know to say....it's my opinion, as under the 5th Am, we are allowed to have an opinion even if it based on unfounded information.

That would explain then, when we hear of magazines printing a story of someone that is untrue, they say: Our sources say...yattida yattida, and if the person it has been written about calls a foul, the magazines simply prints a retraction. If they don't print a retraction they are responsible as well.
Leaving the original source (if exposed) responsible. Of which they do not have to legally expose unless pressured.

One nice thing about so many people being interested in this case.

If we were to all be searching, we would not all be standing and staring at the same spot on the ground. Some would be looking in wells, some in buildings, some at irregularities in the soil. Each having their own thoughts and idea's. It is the same with the people surrounding the missing person. Each person focuses on what is of interest to them due to their own experiences (be it professional or otherwise). I don't feel that looking and discussing different poi's is an accusation., Their roles in the life of the person missing, and also there connections and motives. A form of discarding dead ends so a person can move forward in there minds on to new poi's. It may be offensive to some to look at the family, but these boards off of ctv were created to discuss cases.
I mean no offense, but if you look at all the cases there are, some are committed by parents, siblings, off spring, neighbors, clergy, strangers, old flames, ex jealous spouses, spurned lovers and there spouses, strangers and dog catchers. No one because of there proximity to the missing person is above being researched. Yes, it is painful to look wryly at a family member as most of us cannot comprehend what kind of a person it takes to do something to a relative, but face it folks, it happens.
Why? Jealousy, Money, Attention, Revenge, Drugs & Alcohol, Mental afflictions, Anger/Hate, the list goes on.

How many cases can you think of that the "doer of the deed" was a part of the search group and right under everyone's noses. How many times have you heard, I cannot believe so and so did it, I have known them all my life, or they lived right next door and was really a nice guy?

Motives are hidden from us inside the person who commits such a crime, and the only way to uncover it sometimes is by looking at what motivates them in other places, and checking to see if their claims are accurate. I believe that is what is going on here.... no cause for anyone to get insulted as I don't think anyone means to offend anyone personally.

Suzan - you are correct. Looking at the family is natural. It is what LE does. So people to question all people who surrounded Tara is not abnormal. I am sorry that people seem to see questions as bashing. How many posters - in the beginning questioned Mark Lunsford and his actions? Really part of the problem is that LG and AG went public with the LDT. IIRC in an article LG stated he told the GBI he was going to go public - because he felt mistreated. Well when you bring something like that up - people are going to question it. Are there answers in Hawkinsville? I don't know - but that is where Tara grew up. Maybe understanding Tara will help answer who harmed her.

After reading the Larry Harriet interview, I am not sure whether Larry Gattis gave strange answers or the Larry Harriet guy transcribed them incorrectly. Some of the writing is not clear at all...to the point that I read and in some places said.."What??" and had to reread.

I tried to edit my original post, but my email isn't configured correctly and I don't want to fool with it....*g* So I am putting in this post.

Were your parents married at the time? If not, why not? If so, who was the minister? What is your dog's name? Have you given him a treat today? What time? What size shoes do you wear? Where do you shop for your shoes? Why? Who did you have lunch with yesterday and what did you eat? Why can't you drive faster to get someplace quicker? Why did you answer your phone on the third ring instead of the second? Were you scared? If so, why? If not, why not? Who does your hair? When? Why? How much does it cost? Why don't you like fried eggs? How come your father doesn't talk much? Do you like the color blue? If not, why not?

Now, I ask you, if I may, one more question. Would that type of questioning "ruffle" your feathers just a bit or would you just shrug it off as just another investigative technique?

Do you see either of the Gattis' in jail? Nope, me either. I liked your post because you proved MY point as well. Give it a rest. You'll feel less foolish later on.

Foolish? :lol: No, Results, you don't understand. I meant that anyone's "feathers would be ruffled" to be asked those sorts of questions by TOTAL STRANGERS ON A DISCUSSION BOARD. Not by LE. LE has questioned them....hello? Just curious, why did you think LG's statement about the GBI treating him better was a foolish statement? He's apparently being open and honest so why is that foolish?

I think Larry Gattis' perception of the way GBI sees things is a little askew, and the record supports that:

"Frustrated by the scrutiny and what he believed to be heavy-handed treatment by the investigators, Gattis said he underwent a polygraph test — he says he demanded it, law enforcement sources strongly dispute that, which sources have said he passed — and also decided to speak publicly about the treatment he received at the hands of investigators. And his decision to speak out, he said, has tempered the treatment he has received from investigators. "They've been a little nicer," Gattis said, adding that he received a telephone call late last week from the GBI brass informing him that he was no longer in the investigators' cross hairs. Law enforcement sources also dispute that, saying they have ruled no one in or out as a result of the investigation thus far."

fsbiii, your post makes no sense at all. We all know that "no one has been ruled out". That's a given until someone is arrested. Taking things out of context doesn't move things along at all. Isn't this the SAME GBI that you and your cheerleading squad have been saying "are still treating this as a missing persons case" and that no crime has been committed. YOU cannot have it both ways either.

If I'm not mistaken, Dr. Gattis said he was "out of the crosshairs," and the GBI said otherwise. I'm not sure who your audience is for these word-twisting posts, but no one's buying it anymore. It's a missing persons case, no matter how bad you want it to be a murder mystery to fit the script, IMO.

So we'll just assume you, fsbiii, are accusing Dr. Gattis of nothing? If so, why not stop the harassment of him? Move on to a more believable scenario.

You can assume whatever you want. And for the record, I haven't harrassed anyone. Whatever "scenario" you speak of must be believable to many since it obviously draws fire and venom from the pseudonyms every second it is discussed in any thread.

No, I don't think Marcus did anything.

You replied to one of my posts and said something about Marcus burying Tara's body.

Why do you say you don't think Marcus did anything, but yet say he didn't have time to drive to Hawkinsville to bury her body?

I'm a little confused by your contradictory statements.

So am I to assume you'll provide your own team of dogs, or do we need to set that up? Did you want law enforcement to assist you as well, or will it be just you alone? Like I said, I'm certain there'd be no problem with this, but you'd need to contact them to set it up. I've looked over the time frame of this crime, and I really don't think Marcus and his friend had time to drive all the way to Hawkinsville to bury Tara, but if you feel the need to search there I'm sure it can be arranged.

Perhaps your friend can bring her 2 lab pups with her to help with the digging. Just let someone know at the website by giving the info I outlined earlier, and this will certainly be arranged for you.

Here it is. I knew that you accused Marcus and a friend of disposing of Tara's body.

Ummm... what's changed your mind in the last week or so to decide Marcus didn't murder Tara?

The post you provided clearly says he "didn't". I'm really confused by this sudden turnaround of yours. First, no crime is committed, then all of a sudden you are placing blame for a murder.

No. You implied that.

You were the one who brought up Marcus (and his friend) burying Tara's body on the Gattis property; not me.

You implied Marcus was responsible, therefore it was a waste of time to search the Gattis property in Hawkinsville.

Have you got a split personalilty or do you share a community nickname and multiple people use it?

Today is Aug. 22, 2006 on Oct. 22, 2005 exactly 10 months from today Tara Grinstead was reported missing.

Today should be the day we redicate ourselves to Tara Grinstead. Look back to Oct. 22, 2005, remember the way you felt, that determination you had to find this young woman. It is still needed.

Sorry to confuse you guys. I have been doing posters this morning to put up . All offical posters on the sites have her info as missing since Oct. 22, 2005, the GBI site even has her missing since Oct. 22, 2005. When you go to "the find tara grisntead" site or the GBI or the family sactioned site you get this.

I agree, but when I saw that, I was wondering if there was a phone call to the authorities, prior to October 24th, that I was unaware of.

gacountry-

I really, really wish you'd get over yourself and STOP posting my damn name at the Baron site every time you get in a huff about something. SHE WAS REPORTED MISSING ON MONDAY, NO BIG DEAL. Reported is a verb. She was not REPORTED missing on 10-22-05. This isn't rocket science.

As for my "egorness" to HELP, why can't you and your friends understand that people HELP in many ways other than what you do and what you consider help? Why does it have to be your way or no way? I'm sick of your holier than thou antics and judgment. You never cease to amaze me. You help how you see fit, I help how I see fit. Why can't you appreciate that and drop the comparisons?

"Well Of course CTV's famous posters BFD and Fsbiii jumped to correct me on the date of Oct. 22, 2005 Let me add that that is the last day anyone we KNOW about saw her and the date that is on the offical posters. The GBI site even has her missing on that day. Wish they were that egor to HELP."

From what I've read, the only way to help, is to show up to search for Tara.
