Question

How did Payne Lindsey's Up and Vanished podcast affect the Tara Grinstead case?

Answered from The Orchard · Dateline NBC · 2026-11-03

Filmmaker Payne Lindsey launched Up and Vanished in 2016 after finding the Grinstead case online and learning his grandmother's friend had seen Tara the night she vanished. His reporting led the GBI to test a mound under a house that proved to hold animal bones, and he got former student Anthony Vickers to go on record. Dateline describes the podcast's growing audience as pressure on the case, and Brooke Sheridan says Bo Dukes had been listening to it when his behavior changed.
