Warrants for Duke accuse him of burglarizing Grinstead’s home and using his hands to cause serious bodily harm. According the affidavit, Duke is accused of “removing the body of Tara Grinstead from her home and concealing her death.”
Grinstead was first reported missing from her Ocilla, Georgia home on October 22, 2005. Investigators suspected foul play, however, a lack of evidence made connecting anyone to the disappearance difficult.
