According to WALB-TV, although many are concerned over the missing school teacher for some reason police do not suspect foul play.

Being a parent I am distrubed by these events, and I am even more distrubed that the police think this young lady just ran off. What was she running from? She wasn’t married, she had no children, no live in boyfriend, and she lived alone. She had no reason to just walk out. If she was tired of working she could of just taken a leave of absence. Then there are reports from her sister about a clock under the bed, a broken lamp. I would conclude some sort of struggle went on. I beleive someone in her neighborhood heard screams about 3:00am Sunday morning and reported it. No one came forward and said they were screaming at the top of their lungs during that time. Who ever got Tara, she probably knew them, and if she had a restraining order on someone then they need to search his area. Did they do fingerprints, check phone records? Just because there was no sign of forced entry doesn’t mean there wasn’t one. What if she was letting the dog out and someone was waiting for her to just open the door? I pray for Tara every day, her missing is every parents worst nightmare. I put up flyers for her in Worth County and in TyTy where I live. I don’t beleive that she walked off and I don’t even know this young women. I think that probable cause is enough to obtain a search warrent and I think that it should of been done 8 days ago.
