- Distinguishing Characteristics:
- Distinguishing Characteristics Caucasian female. Sandy brown hair, blue eyes. Grant’s ears are pierced approximately six times each, and her left nostril is also pierced. Her name is pronounced Lay-el.
- Details of Disappearance:
- Grant vanished from Sitka, Alaska on October 14, 2012, at 3:00 p.m. Her car was found abandoned a few days later, October 20th, along a logging road outside of town. Her belongings—ID, headphones, receipts—were still inside, suggesting she didn’t plan to leave.
Because Sitka is an island, you need ID to leave by plane or boat, and police think she’s still on the island. A big search turned up nothing. Grant liked hiking alone, but not in that area, making her car’s location even more mysterious.
She was going through a tough time: her dad had just died (two days before she disappeared), she’d broken up with her boyfriend, and she struggled with meth addiction. Police believe she was murdered. She was officially declared dead in June 2015.
