The ones I posted said 56, but I definitely don't consider those sights that reliable.

Suspect’s arrest record
The arrest record of Freddie Grant reaches back almost 25 years in Florida and South Carolina. Listed below are charges; it’s unclear how they were resolved or whether he spent time in jail.
1988-1992 – Grant is arrested on multiple charges in Homestead and Miami, Fla., including: possession of cocaine with intent to sell or distribute, aggravated assault with a weapon, battery of a spouse and illegally carrying a concealed weapon.

This doesn't bode well for Gabbiee.

 

[Truman]

The ones I posted said 56, but I definitely don't consider those sights that reliable.

I'll bet that site calculates current age by birth year, and 56 would be accurate if she were still alive.

 

[MissJames]

I'm wondering if it was Grant who suggested to mom that she go into work in the wee hours of the morning so she would have her weekend free .

 

[tlcya]

Grant was put forth as a sort of odd job/handy man. I hope LE is focusing on figuring out what other homes/businesses/properties he may have access to in this role. Gabbiee will likely be found at one of those locations.

Such a bright future for this lovely girl. I pray she is still alive, somehow, against all odds. I guess it would depend on this perp's reason/motivation for taking her. Aive would probably mean a sexual reason or a financial/sexual one which is horrific but at least in that circumstance Gabbiee would be a commodity and have some minimal value.

If it were just a sick monster bent on torture or murder then she is surely dead.

Its terrible either way and I pray for her mother at this time.

Sister, Former In-Law React to Arrest of Freddie Grant

Grant says her brother helped raise Gabbiee, and was involved with her mother.

"I think she ran away because my brother didn't have anything to do with her being missing," said Cynthia Grant.

It appears his sister is in denial.

She is part of the "Elite 21" student magnet program. It's for students who want to go into medicine. She was supposed to be starting her second week of AP classes, already earning college credit as a sophomore. In fact, all of her classes are honors classes

 

[stillwatersc]

If he was working for the mom & doing odd jobs, Grant may have had a key to the house. JMOO

I did find Ollie in Elgin SC, looks like she was a few years older than FG

It appears his sister is in denial.

Or.... "That's my story... And I'm sticking to it!" mentality.

Or "My mind's made up... Don't confuse me with facts!" mentality?

COLUMBIA A man described as a “monster” and “career criminal” forced 15-year-old Gabrielle Swainson from her home in the wee hours of Aug. 18 and took her to his burned-out house on a dirt lane in Elgin, S.C., authorities say.

BBM: This gave me chills. I wonder what the cause of the fire in his "burned out house" was.

 

[lovemyhuskies]

I was just thinking...I remember it being said at the beginning of the thread that Gabbiee had her first date earlier that day or possibly the night before. I wonder if that was a trigger for him! It might help some in finding her if we know what his mindset is, what triggers him, etc...just thinking out loud guys.

 

[Truman]

Good question - checked this out by looking up my grandpa who passed away about 5 years ago. He's still listed, and is listed as being 84, when in fact he died at 79.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

I wonder if this perp had accosted... Tried to accost Gabbiee's previously?

Or maybe made suggestive remarks?

Just thoughts...


O/T... My iPad put pergola when I tried to type perp! Jeesh!

wow...

seems there would,be some kind of record keeping system to fix that!

this,can,be very confusing/frustrating/upsetting to people searching and/or to family members!
