Cases Old and Cold

Bo Dukes is charged with concealing a death, hindering the apprehension of a criminal and tampering with evidence.

Investigators say he helped murder suspect Ryan Duke hide and destroy Tara Grinstead’s body 11 years ago when the teacher and former beauty queen was reported missing from her Ocilla home in October 2005.

Arrest warrants accuse Bo Dukes of hiding the body between Oct. 23 and Oct. 28, 2005 on a farm off Bowens Mill Highway just outside Fitzgerald. Records show the farm is owned by a relative of Bo Dukes.



“I can't even put this into words. It's unreal. It's just unbelievable,” said Grinstead’s sister, Anita Gattis (pictured above with Tara).

Gattis said she’s known Bo Dukes’ family for years, but never connected him with any part of her sister’s disappearance.

She said during the time of all the searches for Tara Grinstead in 2005, she stayed in Ocilla with relatives of Bo Dukes. “They were some of the most heartbroken people in the area over Tara’s disappearance,” she said.

====================================

ETA: I don't know why Bo Dukes was released on such low bond, unless he is the person who dropped the dime on Ryan Duke last week and made a deal with LE? Due to the gag order issued by the judge, that's an unanswered question. But, the press has filed an appeal in hopes of overturning the gag order.
