Gabrielle Swainson + Adriana Laster: Kidnapped in the Midlands

Gabrielle "Gabbiee" Swainson disappeared without a trace from her family home in Columbia, SC on August 18th, 2012 during a 3 to 4 hour period when her mother was at work. Her mother returned home that morning to find Gabbiee's beeping alarm clock, but no sign of her daughter. From the very beginning of the case, there was one lone suspect - 53 year old Freddie Grant, the onetime boyfriend of Gabbiee's mother, who still possessed a key to the family home. Furthermore, how does Gabbiee's disappearance tie into the disappearance of Adriana Diana Laster? Find out.
