Background information: On October 22, 2005 something happened to thirty-year old, Tara Grinstead, and she hasn't been seen since.
 
The high school teacher and former beauty Queen  arrived at her home in Ocilla, Georgia around 11PM on a Saturday night, put her cell phone on the charger, turned her bedroom lamp on, and somehow vanished into thin air.  When she didn't show up for class on Monday morning,  she was reported missing. 

After an extensive investigation that included numerous interviews, police remain baffled and few clues exist. 

Neighbors later said that they'd heard her one-year old German Shepherd barking that night but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

Preliminary Thoughts: I am not familiar with  this case except for the bare bone facts.  I've since learned that it's a high-profile case, but I don't watch TV.  And I've never been to Georgia.  I selected this case to investigate randomly after looking at a list of missing people in hopes that I could find some clues to aid in the investigation.  As always, this investigation was conducted for the family's sake.

 Psychic Connection:
I immediately got the sense that Tara is the victim of foul play.  After I connected, I saw a skeleton lying in a grave, long hair splayed out about her, wearing some kind of colorful dress or shirt--I only saw the upper part of her body.   I saw a lot of trees, and I believe she's in a rural area not far from where she lived.  There was also a two-story Cape Cod style house with two dormers, which I saw from a strange viewpoint, as if I were lying low beneath it, at a bit of a distance, and at a crooked side angle.  My vision of the house was almost as if I were peeking through a camera that was held askew and slowly moving from the ground, to the house, and  to the tall trees overhead. 

Tara  is likely buried in the woods somewhere near this house.

I also saw a man with Tara that night, inside her house.  Though most of the impressions I got were too foggy to discern, I saw his face clearly, and up close.  He had dark, curly hair that went just below his ears, an inch or two, and a fresh and somewhat pretty face--though he isn't pretty inside.  Sometimes age can be difficult to arrive at, but I believe he was in his early to mid 20's--definitely no older than 30. He was clean-shaven, Caucasian, and had even features set within an oval-shaped face.

I saw her standing in her bedroom, doing something before what could have been a chest of drawers, and suddenly this man entered the room. He had sex with her that night, and though I'm not sure how he killed her, I saw him cut her breast and abdomen with a knife.

The vision changed suddenly, and I saw him driving a light colored car--I'm not sure of the make, but it looked sporty. He kept looking over the seat as if someone was in the backseat.

And I saw him with Tara in a wooded area. She was on the ground and he was sitting in front of her and at another time he was above her, his hands on her.  I couldn't see what he was doing.

Additional Info:
I got a name but decided not to report it here as Ocilla is a small town, and I wouldn't want anyone to jump to false or hasty conclusions. 

I saw someone open a small white louvered door. Could the intruder have been hiding in an area like that?

A large fuzzy black splotch kept appearing in the vision and concealing the view. I don't know what it means. I've never seen that in a vision before.

Post- research:  To put what I saw together with the established clues, I researched the case  at crimelibrary.com and other online sources, including MSN. And I'm not going to go into details about the case here, because this is a high profile case and it's well known. So I'll cover the case briefly.

Tara was loved and is missed very much by the people of Ocilla. She taught 11th and 9th grade History at the Irwin County High School in Ocilla, GA. and is said to be one of those rare and special teachers who go far beyond the call of duty. On Saturday, October 22, 2007, she'd spent the whole day helping students get ready for a festival and the Sweet Potato Pageant. Later that evening, she had a barbecue dinner at the home of some friends and left their house at 11:00 PM and was never seen again.

The police say that there was no evidence of a struggle.  I don't get that, because there is strong evidence of a struggle.

A lamp, which she habitually turned on to let her neighbors know that she was home and was okay, was found broken in her bedroom (The neighbors had gone to bed early that night and didn't see anything unusual.)  A digital clock was found broken beneath the bed, and the bed was damaged.

Her purse and keys were missing and a surgical glove was later found outside her house. What's more, the front seat of her car had been pushed back  to accommodate a larger person--she was only 5" 3 and about 125 pounds.

Though she normally let her German Shepherd in at night, it was left out on Saturday and barked through the night, especially in the wee hours of the morning.  But otherwise, no one saw or heard anything suspicious. 

On Monday morning, when she didn't show up at the local High School, coworkers called the police and a missing persons case was filed.

The police interviewed numerous people and learned that Tara had suffered a terrible heartbreak in 2004 when her ex-policeman boyfriend broke up with her. She'd hoped they would marry, but he'd gotten a new job and his life moved in another direction. 

She also dated a cop from a nearby town and possibly some other men, following the breakup. 

Conclusion: I believe that Tara was dealing with some heavy emotional issues, and her heart was broken, but she didn't kill herself. She was too strong for that, and she'd already made it through the worst of the storm.  What's more, she would have left a suicide letter behind. And she didn't run away due to heartbreak or pressure.  She didn't take money with her, her cell phone was left behind, and no charges have been put on her credit card. So those two possibilities can be ruled out completely.

I do think Tara was raped and murdered by a young man who fits the description I gave in the psychic connection above. I believe the motive was sex-related. In my opinion, based on the images I saw during my psychic connection, and the research material I read at crimelibrary.com and other sources, she got home after 11 PM that night,  turned on the bedroom lamp, put her cell-phone in the charger, and got undressed, tossing her clothes on the couch beside the bed. She then moved to a dresser and removed her necklace, but before she could remove her earrings, she was either surprised by an intruder who had waited for her in her home or he found a way in. This is definitely someone who knew her pattern of coming and going.  She either knew him or he'd been watching her.

Before I go on, It's important to note that I don't believe the murderer is Tara's ex-boyfriend. I saw photos of him, and he does not fit the description of the man I saw in my vision, and he's older and more rugged. I know a lot of people seem to think that it was this man, and my question for them is: do you want to hold on to a suspicion or do you want a dangerous murderer found and convicted of this terrible crime?  Be open-minded about this for Tara's sake! 

After the intruder came upon her, there was a struggle, the lamp was knocked over and broken, and so was the clock. The foot of the bed was damaged, and the necklace was tossed aside.  She never had  time to put it away. And ultimately, the intruder overpowered her. Here things get a little sketchy as sometimes the happenings in a psychic vision will play out of order.  I know he sexually assaulted her, but I'm not sure if he did this at her home or at another place later. At any rate, he told her to get dressed. She went to the closet and nervously pulled several articles of clothing out and selected something, (perhaps at the killer's choosing) tossing the rest on the couch on top of the clothes she'd worn earlier that night--and that's why there are clothes lying on top of the ones she'd previously cast off, some still on hangers.

He then forced her outside and ordered her to get in the backseat of her car. He got in the front and drove to wherever he planned to take her. I don't know if he killed her immediately or held her hostage for some time after that. Perhaps he took her to the Cape Cod house I saw in my vision or maybe it's merely a focal point along the way. And it's possible that the sexual assault scenes I saw might have occurred at some other location rather than  in her own house. And I believe it's likely that he killed her in the wooded area as I saw him with her there, sitting before her while she laid on the ground.

At any rate, he left her somewhere and drove her car back to her house. He might even have tidied the house in order to hide evidence and lock it up afterward--though I doubt he was there for long.  Then, he either walked to his own house or drove a vehicle that he'd earlier parked nearby.

As for the glove, I'm not sure whether it's significant or not.  It crossed my mine that it could have been accidentally dropped by investigators as crime scene investigators carry such gloves. I don't think it indicates that this person works in a medical field. Heck, if it does belong to the killer, he could have purchased it just about anywhere--even hardware stores sell gloves like these--or he could have even snatched it while in a doctor's office. It does warrant thorough investigation though.

How you can help:   You can help Tara by praying.  Pray for her and her family and for a resolution to this mystery.
