Grinstead was born in Hawkinsville, Georgia, on November 14, 1974, to her father, Billy, and mother, Faye Grinstead. Anita Grinstead was her only sibling. After the horrifying incident that happened to Tara, her parents’ life was never the same. They broke down like slow poison over the years.
As per one of the articles Faye’s friend talked about her life after Tara’s disappearance. She had been locked inside her house for a long time.
At the very least, she would not leave her home. Because she was terrified Tara would contact her, it may have been the first few months. Faye would be the one she could contact if Tara was being detained or something and she could escape away, and she would not leave her house for anything at that period.
Today when Ryan Duke was convicted guilty of concealing the death of Tara Grinstead, we could see her father Billy breaking down in the court. It was heartbreaking to see the 79-year-old fighting in that manner.
