Officials Find Stephen Grant In Northern Michigan

Stephen Grant Found Conscious

POSTED: Saturday, March 3, 2007
UPDATED: 3:57 pm EST March 4, 2007

Officials announced the capture of Stephen Grant, following a massive manhunt.

Stephen Grant was found in Emmet County at 6:50 a.m. Sunday. Local and federal law enforcement agencies found Stephen Grant inside the Wilderness State Park in northern Michigan. Officials airlifted him to Northern Michigan Hospital for health concerns.

A hospital representative gave a briefing on Sunday afternoon to detail Stephen Grant's condition; he stated that Stephen is being treated for hypothermia and frostbite, and that his condition has improved from serious to stable.

According to hospital officials, Stephen Grant has been awake and alert since arriving to the hospital and they said he is being very cooperative with hospital staff.

Stephen Grant is expected to remain in the hospital at least for one more day until his condition improves.

Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said, "He wll be brought back here to answer charges in the murder of his wife Tara Lynn Grant."

Investigators from Macomb County working with Emmet County officials searched the Wilderness State Park overnight and found him hiding outdoors.

Stephen Grant called his sister around 5 p.m. on Saturday to check on his children and police traced that call to northern Michigan, according to Hackel.

Officials said they believed Stephen Grant was “hiding out” in a cabin, but he was found outdoors.

The yellow Dodge truck that Stephen Grant was last seen driving was also located.

The search for Tara Grant came to an end as investigators said they found her torso inside the garage of the Grant home. Now, officials are searching for other body parts.

Hackel proceeded to say that investigators and search crews have recovered more body parts, but was not specific as to what type of parts was found.

“We searched a three quarter square mile area and uncovered quite a bit of remains,” said Hackle during a news briefing on Saturday evening.

“Our search will end at dark and will start early on Sunday," he said. “We will bring in the help of five K-9 dogs to assist in finding the rest of the remains.”

Investigators had a warrant to search the Grant home on Friday evening. During the search, they recovered what they believe to be Tara Grant's torso.

Grant was pulled over about one mile from his Washington Township home on Friday afternoon. Officers placed Stephen Grant in the back of a squad car for about 20 minutes before letting him get into his Jeep.

With squad cars closely following him, Stephen Grant drove to his home in Washington Township where several law enforcement officials who were searching his home greeted him.

At the time of the search, Stephen Grant wasn't being apprehended and was free to walk his property.

Investigators are searching 29 Mile and Mound roads, near Stoney Creek Beach, for more clues. Hackel told Local 4 they have information that leads them to believe there is more evidence in that area.
