The Beginning Of A 12 Year Long Investigation
The night before her disappearance, Tara attended a local beauty pageant in support of the young members whom she coached followed by a barbecue with friends which she departed from at approximately 10:30 pm. This was the very last time anyone saw the beautiful Tara Grinstead alive. The following morning, after fellow colleagues at Irwin County High School noticed her absence, an attempt was made to contact and locate Tara.
