Tara Grinstead disappeared from her house in October 2005. The investigation led authorities to various suspects over the years, but sadly, Tara’s case went ice cold. Then in 2016, a budding filmmaker (Payne Lindsey) decided to investigate the case in season 1 of his true crime podcast, Up and Vanished. The podcast was a hit and by early 2017, GBI released a statement, they had made an arrest in Tara Grinstead’s case. 10 days later, another arrest.

The alleged perpetrators? Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes - no relationship to each other, despite the similar last names.

After the two men confessed to their part in Tara’s disappearance, the case seemed pretty cut and dry, until one of the men took the stand in his own defense and flipped the script.

Dig in with Margot as she tells you this most bizarre case that although solved, will leave you asking, Who Killed Tara Grinstead?
