In October 2005, beloved high school teacher Tara Grinstead vanished from her home, leaving behind a mystery that haunted her small Georgia town for years. Despite multiple suspects and dead ends, the case eventually went ice cold. More than a decade later, in 2016, filmmaker Payne Lindsey reignited public interest by investigating Tara’s disappearance in Season 1 of his true crime podcast Up and Vanished. The series quickly became a phenomenon—and by early 2017, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced an arrest in Tara’s case. Just ten days later, a second arrest followed.

This episode is a special podcast swap with Margot from Military Murder, as we revisit the case that helped spark the modern true crime podcast boom.Unlock a world of exclusive content and insider access by joining our Patreon community at patreon.com/HousewivesOfTrueCrime, or at podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/housewives-of-true-crime.

Clark Rockefeller was the ultimate fake-it-til-you-make-it criminal except he took it way too far. Behind the bow ties and “old money” vibe was Christian Gerhartsreiter, a German con man posing as a Rockefeller. After kidnapping his daughter during a custody visit and triggering a massive manhunt, police uncovered his real past. That’s when the dark truth surfaced: he was tied to the disappearance of John and Linda Sohus in the ’80s, and he was later convicted of murdering John. A lifetime of lies, stolen identities, and one very real body buried in a backyard...
