The Skeleton Key Chronicles

23 hours ago

A new documentary dropping next month takes a look at the strange story of Quinn Gray, a 37-year-old mother from Ponte Vedra, Florida, whose reported disappearance over Labor Day weekend in 2009 quickly became a major news story across Northeast Florida.

Gray was found a few days later in a parking lot in Orange Park on September 7th, 2009. She initially told authorities she had been taken from her home days earlier in connection to a financial dispute involving her husband, Reid Gray.

Within a week, a 25-year-old Jacksonville auto shop owner, Jasmin Osmanovic, was charged. He later claimed Gray had helped plan the disappearance herself. Federal investigators would eventually allege the two had been staying at a Jacksonville motel while search efforts were still underway.

Vanishing Act follows investigators as they piece together what happened and how the case unfolded. The show premieres March 11th on ID and HBO Max and I have to say I'm really looking forward to this one.

Update: On Saturday morning, Nanos said no arrests were made in this incident and no one is currently in custody in connection to the disappearance

Three people were detained Friday night as investigators executed a search warrant in the Tucson area in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

The warrant was carried out at a home roughly two miles from Guthrie’s property. Two men and a woman were taken into custody. Authorities have not clarified their status in the investigation. The operation involved members of the Pima County Sheriff's Department, including a SWAT response.

Around the same time, agents were seen outside a nearby Culver's restaurant towing a silver SUV from a parking lot outside a Tucson restaurant but its unclear what investigators were looking for.

This news followed confirmation that investigators recovered unidentified DNA from Guthrie’s property. Officials have said the DNA does not belong to someone known to be in close contact with her and that it has been sent to a lab for analysis.

Multiple written demands have surfaced since Guthrie disappeared, though authorities have not announced any named suspects as the case moves into its 13th day.

The Skeleton Key Chronicles

Rebecca Beard’s case went through the courts decades ago, but the question of where she is has never been answered. Long before the legal proceedings, Becky was a 22-year-old young mother in Freeport, Texas raising a two-year-old daughter and working at a local car dealership. That all changed on the night of March 1, 1986 after she went out to the Excalibur Club.

When she didn’t come home, the search began. The last time anyone remembered seeing her was in the parking lot of the club. But with no real evidence or clues, the case stalled. Days turned into weeks, and weeks into years while her family and friends waited for answers.

Then, in 1994, Paul Gayland Taylor Jr. admitted involvement in her disappearance and ultimately entered a plea that resulted in a life sentence, marking one of only a few cases in Texas history where such a conviction was secured without any physical evidence recovered.

In 2022, Becky’s family reached an agreement with Taylor: if he revealed where her remains were and they were located, they would support his release. Excavations later took place in Angleton, about fifteen miles north of Freeport, at locations he identified. The searches did not lead to the recovery of her remains.

Decades later, answers about Becky’s disappearance still fall back on Paul Taylor, but every location he has ever given led nowhere. And nearly forty years after that night, the question of where Becky is remains unanswered.
