Police Arrest Husband Accused of Murdering and Dismembering Tara Grant
Sunday , March 04, 2007
Police arrested a man Sunday wanted in connection with the dismembering death of his wife.
Michigan State Police arrested Stephen Grant early Sunday morning in Emmet County, Mich., after a statewide manhunt. The county is near the tip of the state's Lower Peninsula, about 300 miles from his home in Washington Township in suburban Detroit.
Stephen Grant is listed in serious condition at Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, Mich., after being airlifted following his capture to be treated for frostbite and hypothermia.
Police captured Stephen Grant at 6:30 a.m. after a nighttime chase in a wooded area in Bliss Township.
• Click here for FOXNews.com's Crime center.
"Near the end he was moving quite fast through the snow until he was apprehended," said Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel at a press conference Sunday morning.
Deputies from his suburban Detroit office were on their way to Petoskey to guard Stephen Grant, he said.
"We think we have the right man based on his own statements," Hackel said.
Police launched the search Saturday after discovering what they believe to be Tara Lynn Grant's dismembered torso in the garage of the couple's house.
An arrest warrant had been issued Saturday charging Grant with murder, disinterment and mutilation.
Grant, 37, who had maintained his innocence in his wife's disappearance, went missing before police searched his home Friday and Saturday in Washington Township, about 30 miles outside Detroit. Searchers found the torso in the garage and what were thought to be other parts of Tara Grant's body in a nearby park.
Few details were immediately available about the capture, but Hackel said Emmet County authorities were key in the capture. The Emmet County sheriff's department said no one was available Sunday morning to discuss the arrest.
A truck that police believe Grant drove from his home was found Saturday night near Carp Lake, close to the bridge linking Michigan's Lower and Upper Peninsulas.
Grant's lawyer had said that he feared his client was suicidal.
The body had not been positively identified as of late Saturday, but the sheriff has said he was certain it was Tara Grant's. An autopsy was scheduled for Sunday.
About 100 law enforcement personnel looked for evidence and additional body parts Saturday near the Grants' home. The search was expected to resume Sunday.
Tara Grant last was seen Feb. 9. Stephen Grant reported her missing five days later. Police say that on the day she went missing, the Grants argued over her frequent business trips abroad.
If convicted of open murder, Grant could be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

He put it this way...
"If I cant give my entire blood , sweat and tears to a case then I have to bow out" (not verbatem)
Sounds to me as if he knows he is guilty as sin and does not want to represent him for the herrendous crimes....

Grant's defender says resignation not snap decision
March 5, 2007
BY JOE SWICKARD and CHRISTY ARBOSCELLO
FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS
After almost three weeks of high-profile legal wrangling for Stephen Grant, his lawyer, David Griem, stepped aside Sunday, saying he could no longer represent the man accused of murdering and dismembering his wife.
Although the announcement came suddenly, it was not a snap decision, the former state and federal prosecutor said Sunday evening.

"It was a series of events of the last week that made it no longer possible to give him my everything as an attorney," Griem said.
He said details of the relationship couldn't be disclosed because of lawyer-client privilege, but he described the split as "erosion rather than one sharp event. And I don't blame Mr. Grant."
Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith said: "
I think Dave was maybe conned like a lot of people."
Smith pointed to news interviews in which Grant pleaded for his wife's safe return home, "where you see those crocodile tears, where he claims or professes his innocence."
On Saturday morning, Griem made public pleas on behalf of Grant, saying he feared Grant had killed himself after a series of disturbing phone calls he made to Griem. He said he took two calls from Grant after midnight Friday, in which Grant was "increasingly emotionally distraught."
"He had a hard time getting sentences out coherently. He was rambling," Griem said.
But by Saturday afternoon, it was clear Grant was alive and on the run.
Over the past three weeks, media attention and investigators' pressure on Grant had cranked up, and Griem stood before cameras, challenging the tactics and actions of the Macomb County sheriff's department.
He assailed Grant's arrest and subsequent questioning after sheriff's deputies pulled him over on a traffic violation the day after Grant reported his wife missing. He defended Grant as a wounded father who'd give his all for his two small children.
Griem still insisted Sunday that the Friday night search that uncovered Tara Lynn Grant's torso in the garage of the Grant home was legally flawed and should be barred from any trial.
"For days the sheriff was saying, time after time whenever asked, that he didn't have probable cause for a search warrant," Griem said. "Then all of a sudden it changed? What happened?"
Griem is a former chief trial lawyer for the Macomb County Prosecutor's Office and onetime chief of the U.S. Attorney's drug team. He served a stint as Warren city attorney before going into private practice.
He focused on criminal defense work, and his clients included suspected drug dealers, organized crime figures and white-collar criminals. But none matched the public fascination of the search for Tara Grant.
Griem said he isn't totally abandoning Stephen Grant -- he'll meet with the new lawyers to go over the investigation.
But like with many relationships, he said legal representation has a life span.
"And now," he said, "it's just time."

Here is a little more detail than what
klaas
posted; this is from
The Detroit Free Press:
(
www.freep.com
).
Quote
Stephen Grant has confessed to killing and dismembering his wife, Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said at a news conference today.
“He gave us a very lengthy confession, laying out what took place,” Hackel said. Although at times he appeared upset, mostly “he was matter-of-fact,” he said.
How, specifically, he killed Tara Lynn Grant, 34, the mother of their two young children and an executive for an international company, was not disclosed. A medical examiner reviewing her remains said it
appears strangulation
is the cause of death.
“We do understand there was a confrontation,” Hackel said.
Police say Grant was killed Feb. 9 in the couple’s Washington Township home as their 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son slept. Five days later, Stephen Grant reported his wife missing.
On Feb. 24, he became anxious as investigators — acting on a hunch — searched Stony Creek Metropark.
After they combed the land and found nothing, Grant retrieved his wife’s torso from the field and placed it in his garage, police said
.
Soon after, investigators found a Zip-loc bag in a wooded area not far from the Grants’ home. The bag contained latex gloves, metal shavings and blood
, Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith said at the news conference.
{I think I read elsewhere that this finding was what police were able to use to get the search warrant.}
That discovery led them to Grant’s family’s tool-and-die shop in Mt. Clemens, where the dismemberment may have taken place.
On Friday evening, detectives searched the Grants’ property, finding the torso and two guns and other weapons. Grant then led police on a statewide manhunt. He was found Sunday in northern Michigan, suffering from fatigue, frostbite and hypothermia. He had fled for hours on foot without shoes and a jacket in Wilderness State Park. He was airlifted to Northern Michigan Hospital in Petoskey, where he’s being treated for his injuries under police guard. A spokesman for the hospital said he could be discharged later today.
He is scheduled to be arraigned on charges of open murder and dismemberment of a corpse Tuesday in Macomb County. Grant’s defense lawyer, David Griem, stepped down from the case over the weekend, and Grant has not yet retained another attorney.
Since he first reported his wife missing Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, Grant has pleaded publicly for his her safe return home while refusing to cooperate directly with the Sheriff’s Office investigation.
“I think he had a lot of people fooled,” Hackel said.

Life in prison is too good for this guy. I hope he is tortured every day for the rest of his life.
I don't believe for one second that they were arguing over her traveling. They were probably arguing because he was spending all the money.

This guy is a friggin loser and she probably got sick and tired of him and told him I want out. She found out something about him. I would love to see what the cops find on the computer that he was unwilling to give to them.
