- Distinguishing Characteristics:
- Distinguishing Characteristics African-American female. Black hair, brown eyes. Grant’s hair was in a ponytail at the time of her disappearance. Her ears are pierced in the lobes and the upper cartilage. She has a tattoo of eight birds flying on her forearm; a photo of it is posted with this case summary. Grant’s nickname is Gata.
- Details of Disappearance:
- Grant disappeared in Kilgore, Texas, around midnight on August 19-20, 2016, and has never been found. Her family is sure she didn’t leave willingly; she was excited about her baby and had bought lots of supplies. Everything she owned was left behind.
Police believe Grant and her unborn baby were murdered soon after she went missing. A month later, her house burned down, but that fire is thought to be unrelated. Her sister and another person were charged with insurance fraud related to the fire.
In March 2017, Grant’s ex-boyfriend, Allen “Lamont” Sutton Jr., and his girlfriend, Laneshia Lashae Young, were charged with hiding a body. Sutton is the father of Grant’s unborn child, and he had threatened her after she got pregnant. Blood matching Grant’s DNA was found in the trunk of their car (the trunk lining was missing). Both were convicted of tampering with evidence, but Sutton is appealing.
Even though police think Grant was murdered, no one has been charged with her death, and her body has never been found. The case is still open.
