Tara Grinstead

OCILLA, GA (Crime Library)  — Late last week, a psychic who had flown in to this rural corner of southern Georgia to aid in the search for missing school teacher Tara Grinstead, casually asked one Grinstead's relatives about a recent visit to the doctor and how that relative's rash was progressing.

The relative, apparently less than a true believer in the more esoteric powers of the mind, was floored. She had kept her brief visit to the doctor a secret, and had mentioned her hidden skin condition to almost no one. The experience, which under other circumstances might have been embarrassing, was in that situation, cause for some elation. It was, to those who have been desperately searching for any sign of the missing schoolteacher, evidence that the psychic was for real.

Unfortunately, the psychic was less successful when it came to finding Tara, and though she had provided a detailed description of a place to be searched, when a small group of friends and family members went there, they came up empty.

It was not the first time they had conducted such a fruitless search. It wasn't even the first time they had relied on a psychic to lead them. In fact, according to one family member, for most of the past month, more than half a dozen psychics have been providing the family with information about their hunches, their impressions and their intuitions.

It is, of course, not the only avenue the family is pursuing to locate the former beauty queen who vanished more than three months ago, "but it is one avenue," said a family member. "Sometimes they've got good information, some time it's not as good."
