Description

An arrest was finally made in the murder of Tara Grinstead, a south Georgia teacher and former beauty queen who vanished without a trace more than 11 years ago.The suspect, Ryan Alexander Duke, made his first court appearance late Thursday afternoon in Irwin County.The Georgia Bureau of Investigation filed arrest warrants for Duke charging him, among other things, with the murder of Grinstead. During Duke’s first appearance, the judge revealed he is also being charged with burglary, aggravated assault and concealing a death.WATCH: Duke made his first appearance in court on ThursdayIFrameThe warrant alleges that Duke went to Grinstead's house to commit a burglary and then "used his hands in an offensive manner" to cause serious bodily harm to Ms. Grinstead. According to the warrant, Grinstead was killed inside the home and her body removed. Police said Duke attended the high school where Grinstead taught, and graduated three years before her disappearance.Ocilla resident Lakin Bailey went to school with Duke and knew Tara."I am just shocked by who they arrested. I went to school with Ryan and although he was peculiar, I never thought he would do anything like this," Bailey said.Duke, 33, was arrested on February 22. The GBI said investigators received a tip that led agents to conduct several interviews with people who had not been previously questioned. Information from those interviews led agents to Duke’s arrest, according to authorities.Investigators said they still have not found Grinstead's remains, but believe Duke took her body from her home to conceal her death.IFrameTara Grinstead was last seen the night of October 22, 2005 when she attended a beauty pageant and barbecue in Fitzgerald, Georgia. Investigators said she went home to Ocilla and was never seen again.Two days later, her co-workers at Irwin County high School, where she taught, called 911 when she didn't show up for work. Police said when they got to Grinstead's home to investigate, they found no signs of a struggle and her purse, keys and cell phone were still there.She was 30-years-old at the time of her disappearance.Grinstead's family has never given up hope for answers and they maintain a website and Facebook page to keep the case in the spotlight.Duke waived his right to a preliminary hearing on the case in court on Thursday. His case was held over to Superior Court and he was not granted bond. A grand jury will meet April 12 to decide whether there is enough evidence to take the case to trial.NEXT ARTICLE: Boy, 6, killed when SUV crashes into dentist's office lobby
