Her Facebook. Facebook She looks very happy being married and enjoying her life (and her horses) in her most recent posts.

I could find no booking or charging information on the arrests dot org notification of arrest linked earlier. Not sure why, I HAVE seen errors on the arrests dot org site, but usually not in a case where there is that much detail. Sometimes the charges are simply never filed, especially if the other party declines to press charges. Search Court Records | Pasco County Clerk, FL

She only has two traffic infractions in Pasco County, both closed. Her listed legal name is Portia Nina Lee Grizzaffe. I normally don't list traffic infractions but the nature of these make me worry she might have had a vehicular accident.

So she was married at 17? 😕

I watched a fascinating training seminar a couple of years ago while I was working in victim services. Many jurisdictions have mandatory-arrest laws for DV calls. The cops have to decide who the “primary aggressor” is and arrest them, and it’s not uncommon that they believe the perpetrator over the victim. So I don’t put a lot of stock in WHO has been arrested for domestic violence.

MOO — and maybe not relevant to the case at hand, just crossed my mind.

Yes, 17 and her husband in her FB posts doesn't appear to be a whole lot older. Looking down through her personal FB posts they sold a $75,000 boat last year (or listed it) and the horses she has and has made posts about are more expensive than you think. I don't see two teenagers (or teen/early 20's) commanding the kind of income to live the life that is being protrayed on social media honestly. Wealthy family(ies) perhaps. But they do seem to be happy, that really shone through the photos in my opinion.

Her maiden name may be Cotto. Still trying to verify for sure.

The arrest for DV is concerning.
I saw there was an engagement post from Christmas in 2024 but did they get married? Where were they living? They appear to be living a fancy lifestyle.

Both say they are married and there were a number of congratulatory posts up on the engagement ring. But I couldn't find any marriage license nor any wedding photos. The lack of license may not mean anything, as those records are sometimes not listed in the county records with other civil and criminal matters. But I'm really surprised she wouldn't have posted a wedding photo even if it had been a civil ceremony.

I ran a dead end on the Cotto maiden name, may be a relative.
I'm thinking Grazzeffe MAY be her maiden name. There is a Portia Grazzeffe in her 70's related to her, living in her hometown area, so she may have been named for a grandmother. Husband's last name is different (can't list, not a POI).

As to the lifestyle, I speculated well-off family or families, and they're just young and just enjoying that (I would have - as opposed to my Raman Noodle eating to pay for school and rent back at that age)

Here is her Instagram. Instagram

Florida’s Child Marriage Act, which bans marriage for anyone under 17 and prevents 17-year olds from marrying a spouse more than two years older, among other protections, took effect on July 1, 2018.

The Pasco County Clerks Office (which I had linked earlier) also stated that to marry under 18 the individual must have the written consent of both parents or legal guardian(s).

Portia was posting in a group post on FB in 2025 looking for advice on getting "paid gigs" as an "aspiring model". It lists her location as Hudson FL which is where she was last seen (home for her?) Tampa Bay Models, Photographers and Artists | Hey guys my name is Portia, im an 18 year old *aspiring* model… im just looking to see whats out there and if this is something i could actually do | Facebook
I'm sure this will attract wholesome men willing to help her out. 🤮

Strange that her husband hasn't posted anything on FB about her being missing.
IMO.

Who reported Portia missing?
I'm confused by "Grizzaffe was last seen on April 29, around 7:00 p.m., in the Zini Dr. area of Hudson. It is unknown what Grizzaffe was last seen wearing." Who saw her? How did she get there and back? On Google Maps, Zini Drive is a small street with mostly houses. It doesn't look like the type of area to have video surveillance all around.

Since her FB post on the modeling group last June stated she lived in Hudson, the address in Hudson she was reported last seen at might actually be a family home (parents perhaps, or where she and her husband live). Could she have been captured on video but due to quality/lighting it wasn't clear exactly what she was wearing? LE aren't releasing details and there's not been one post anywhere from family or friends that I have seen yet.

I'm surprised there's not a peep from the husband. It's still light out at 7pm. If she does have family there, they would know what she was wearing. If they saw her get in her car, they would have been able to provide a description of the car. Do we know if it was the husband or someone else who reported her missing? MOO but I'm nervous about this one. I hope this wasn't some shady "modeling" job.
