$80,000 reward but police call off search for Tara Grinstead
OCILLA, Ga. Authorities have called off the search for a popular Irwin County teacher who has been missing for more than two weeks.
Ocilla Police Chief Billy Hancock says volunteers and public safely officials have completed their search of the south Georgia county for Tara Grinstead, who was last seen October 22nd.
Investigators still are trying to determine what happened to the 30-year-old Grinstead, who teaches history at Irwin County High School.
Hancock says cadaver dogs, horses, helicopters, four-wheelers and people on foot have searched every day since the teacher was reported missing. More than 50 public safety agencies from across the state have assisted in the search of Irwin County -- which spans 358 miles.
Hancock says searchers have found some clothes, but there's NO indication they belong to Grinstead.
The clothes she wore the last day she was seen and her cell phone were found at her home. Police say her unlocked car was outside, but her pocketbook and keys were gone.
Grinstead's sister -- Anita Gattis -- says civilian searchers will continue looking for her.
An 80-thousand-dollar reward has been offered for the teacher's safe return.
