Tara Grinstead Search: Family & Friends makes plea on Nancy Grace
Tara Grinstead’s family came on CNN’s Nancy Grace to make a public plea for the where abouts and any clues that people may have in to her disappearance. They do bring a couple of issues to light in that her car door was found unlocked, her keys and purse were missing and her radio clock by her bed on the floor.
GATTIS: Well, her car was left unlocked. Tara never leaves her car unlocked when she is at home. Her cell phone was in the charger. Her door was locked, but her keys and her purse were missing.
GRACE: Keys and purse missing. I understood that there was a radio clock by her bed on the floor.
GATTIS: That`s correct. The GBI found it under the bed when they were looking for evidence. And there was also a broken lamp on her bedside table.

GRACE: Dusty, where did she work, exactly?
VASSEY: She was a history teacher in Irwin County High School in Osceola, Georgia.
GRACE: And how long had she been there?
VASSEY: I`m not sure how long she had been there.
GRACE: You know, I want to go straight out to Tara`s sister, joining us also from Osceola, Georgia. Anita Gattis is with us. Anita, how long had your sister been at that school?
ANITA GATTIS, SISTER OF MISSING WOMAN: Eight years.
GRACE: What can you tell me about the night she went missing, Anita?
GATTIS: She had helped some girls in the afternoon work on their makeup, their hair for a beauty pageant. She went to the beauty pageant. She went to a local superintendent`s house for dinner, watched a football game. We assume she went back home. And after that, we do not know.
