That's my best guest Howdee, but if you think this case is crazy you should see this: 34 years in prison wrongfully convicted Lewis Jim Foggle. @@howdeedoodee6603
So he is convicted of lesser charges and he can be sentenced to 10 years max, but GA law allows for immediate pardon? What kind of freakin law is that?
@@liliivanova2920 that's my question also. If Ryan sentenced for 10 years with parole how about Bo? Life imprisonment? He deserved that sentence or death penalty. Bo think he can obscure justice sorry spoiled brat you must be rotten in prison.
This is so sad. I use to live alone in apartment. I was so careful I would lock the doors and I would put door stopper with alarm when they open the door. That door stopper can hold the door really good. I also have ring cameras. I never open the door for no one.
I don't buy the robbery story. Seems more likely to be a sexual assault that led to the murder. // Rest in Forever Peace, Tara. I'm sorry all who love you have to miss you.
Dukes was convicted of concealment & other charges. 25 years. He was charged in two rape cases. One happened when he was on bond in 2019. He fled; 5 day manhunt. He was charged with attempted kidnapping, other crimes. Maybe that's what he planned to do that night. 😥 he should never be out on bail. He's a flight risk, at least 👹
I pray whoever eyes catch this God give you the strength you need to overcome every battle your facing may the dark thoughts and overthinking,my be peace and calmness fill in your life🇧🇸❤️
I didn’t expect to believe his testimony recanting his confession, but I did. This was a surprise. It disturbs me that Bo isn’t being brought to justice for this murder.
I thought the same thing but i believed everything he said. Bo did'nt even answer the question what is your name. This not what the justice system is about. It is'nt oh oke whe put somebody in jail so the people are satisfied. That's not what famely's want (normally.

Excellent news reporting, Vinnie! This was well done and the truth is out. The artwork was fantastic. I loved Ryan Duke's lawyer, she is passionate about justice. By contrast to poor Ryan, Bo Dukes looks like a real psycho and arsonist. What a horrible man. Shame on GA DA to pursue the wrong man. Shame on them. There should be some media exposure on that!
DAs never want to admit when they're wrong. They developed a theory, then found out that Bo went there to set Ryan up. Did they then do the right thing? Nope. They instead continued to blame Ryan.
Ryan Duke was the weaker of the two, he was manipulated by Bo Dukes and the prosecutors wanted a guilty verdict so was the easier target. That way they’d be able to take credit for the prosecution and the family had ‘closure’. Ryan Dukes culpability was irrelevant to the prosecution it seems from the moment he confessed. I hope Bo gets his comeuppance at some point in his life.
Always ask for a lawyer, no matter what! You can always go from Not Guilty to Guilty, immediately, if you want. Not so easy to go from Guilty to Not Guilty. You always have the opportunity to tell your story at any time, showing remorse. When the Interrogator’s claim to want to help you, but their goal is only to close the case. Also, they can legally lie to you all they want.
I have a friend who got pulled over by a cop for speeding. The officer approach him and he ask the Officer he will not answer any questions without a lawyer. So the officer did not know what to do so he phone his superior who told him to just let him go.
Someone commented that Bo has a history of sexual assaults. I'd really like to hear other interviews with people from the town who have more information. I grew up in a small town. While there is a lot of gossip and wrong information, there's also a lot of knowledge that can be found by credible people. If I heard rumors that Bo had a history of assaults, I'd investigate that and see if it was credible. It would have been a motive for the murder. Bo is smart enough to think of using his cousin, who he knows has a bad substance abuse problem.

The fact they don’t want to touch the real killer tells me there’s a money trail leading to his family & wealth. I hope that after the real killer does his time that he is prosecuted for the murder instead as an accomplice. So sick of hearing that the rich people get away with crimes. Alec Murdoch is a prime example of good finally over coming money & power
I hope the person faces court too, but I doubt the person who actually did murder the girl will ever be prosecuted, he seems to be protected by the police, the courts and the state government. I wonder how many other murders he’s committed and got away with.
The jury was wrong He had confessed for the murder yet he was acquitted 😂😂😂 this is injustice in a system that claims to uphold justice and human rights
"Helped" is the operative word here! Why are the detectives allowed to do this? It seems they are even allowed to lie during interrogation. The end justifies the means? The only problem is this type of leading interrogation can often send justice in the wrong direction, while the real culprits go free. Anyway, I believe Ryan might not have committed the murder but he likely knew more than he let on.

I agree. Most police are lazy when investigating crimes against women and my experience of reporting a crime in Atlanta was they said we can't tell you if the man stalking you moved from Fl to Ga. No follow up or investigation.
Then you wonder why people don’t come forward. Great example here. They should sue the prosecutors. This is disgusting. There’s been no justice for the victim here. They should be ashamed of themselves. This is not justice, it’s legal and political tyranny.
I don’t understand why prosecutors don’t charge the known murderer! That makes no sense!! This is not justice.. FOR SHAME! The family must insist on charges…!!
43:51 I wonder if Bo’s ‘well-to-do’ family got to the prosecution?? It’s not impossible… I’m actually angry!! WTH? The actual guilty person NOT held accountable!!
The person who actually did the crime seems to be protected by police, courts & government. Their vindictive prosecution of the man after a jury acquitted him of murder, doesn’t mean they think he did the crime, but that they are upset with him for naming the person who he claims to have murdered the poor girl. They are probably hoping he’ll murdered in jail by a fellow inmate or they might hope he will make another false confession. I wonder how many other murders the person who actually did the crime has committed. Perhaps the FBI could find a reason to pursue this.
Did the jury believe that Bo planted the glove because he was the real killer? Why would he frame his friend and not just a random person? So he plants the glove but then stays quiet for a decade? The phone call and explanation for it. Some addicts do steal for drug money, so what was Bo’s connection and reason for killing Tara? None of it makes sense.
Ryan was just as responsible that's why his glove was at the scene. But here theyre not talking about it cause they want to paint him as some victim i guess for clicks
@@zxy78267 I don’t think so. They were friends so either they did it together or it was Ryan and his friend felt sorry for him and believed his story that he over reacted and helped afterwards. After a decade Bo had to get it off his chest because he was not the murderer but had.some guilt. Ryan did stay quiet. Bo did not set him up with the payphone phone call, the DNA on gloves, the motive, and the confession, those all came from and point to Ryan. Nothing else makes sense. imo.
Me to I was watching court tv cuz I like to watch the trials and I saw the ad for this show so I binged watched the first 10 episodes. There’s supposed to be one on tonight but I’m not sure if it’s a new one does anyone know??
The defendant confessed to the murder Now the défendent lawyers are betting on a dead horse 😂😂😂 he was on drug when he invaded Tara’s house and killed her for money The rest is a game defendant lawyers were playing to get the défendent off the hook for justice
A killer is not gonna tell the complete truth. Like he said he went into rob her i do not believe that. Also they did not find a struggle and if he would have punched her there would have been blood which they did not find. This was planned especially getting her out of her home without anyone noticing probably because they were both involved all along.

Nice episode. Sometimes few local officials know that the murderer is likely an influential local guy based on circumstantial evidence. They may let the worst local investigator investigate the case. Just so the killer never gets caught. A punch by a tough male person at the right place can kill a girl. Regardless of who killed whom.
At least here i could gladly say "innocent until you hear his side of the story" . Am glad he told the world his involvement and the prosecutors are mad 😂😂
I've been following this case for years and could never understand why it had never been solved. Small times and gossip go hand and hand. Someone should have spilled the beans before now. Great show Vinnie except for the producer or reporter, whatever, her voice. Oh my goodness, grating.
@@sheilae.9670bo dukes was found not guilty in may 2023. He got 10 years in prison for the other charges related to disposing of her body. Same with Ryan dukes… 10 years for disposing of her body. So no one has been convicted for Tara’s murder!
I've heard of so many robberies that turned into homicides for no reason. Especially to women who couldn't or weren't even fighting back. She was also likely SA'd. Her home wasn't targeted by accident. Keep your head on a swivel and don't trust anyone. If I could avoid other people entirely, I would.
Living your life in fear isn’t really living, it’s just existing. It seems like there are more murders, but statistically this is the safest time in history.
@@DVD927- Well if you can open someone door with a credit card that’s throwing your life away. Every woman (or even guy) who lives by herself should make sure she has a good strong lock, especially beautiful girls like her that many guys would find attractive and the crazy ones will act on it. Today the technology is much better there is security strike plate lock, and ring camera (although the ring camera can only help to identify a robber/murderer after the fact, but it’s definitely a deterrent in break ins), having both is the best.
@@DVD927 I live like that, with very limited contact to people, and must say, it is the opposite of living in fear. It is freedom. Fear is going places, where you have no idea what weirdo's you may run into. Finally I do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and how I want to do it. If you're constantly with friends, you tend to compromise a lot, and sometimes do things you don't even want to do. Look what happened to poor Ryan.

I’m in my 50’s and never heard it called a pecan orchard. Thankfully at 11:33 someone said “pecan grove” just as I was starting to question my entire life being raised in the south 😮
Duke seemed to need to get the truth out there. I believed his version of what happened. Scared that the other guy got off with no time. A true friend wouldn’t do this. He picked a terrible person for a friend. So glad he got the chance to set the record straight.
I believe Ryan is telling the truth about how they hid and burned her body but that he is hiding everything else. I think both Ryan and Bo were high and drunk and killed Tara together. Since we don't have an actual body, we'll never know if she was sexually assaulted or strangled or tortured. Maybe Ryan is legitimately fuzzy about those details or maybe he is purposely not telling them but there is a reason a glove with his DNA was found outside Tara's house. Tara deserves better than all of this, if I were her family member I'd want to confront Ryan and Bo to tell them what I really think of them.
His alibi is passed out in his home after a night drinking and drugging with BO. Could he have been there when she was murdered, while high with Bo? Bo killed her than planted glove? That glove just doesnt sit right.

The glove was there because Bo planted it there days after the first investigation. Tara’s boyfriend, who was a police officer, didn’t see the glove when he was looking for her. Did you even listen, or were you just typing up your own “conclusion”?! smh
✨I wish Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes nothing but a lifetime of nightmares... And I pray that Tara's loved one's can feel some peace with the "justice⚖️" the court delivered them💗
I believe Ryan will have a lifetime of nightmares, because he is remorseful. Bo however, got away with murder and shows no remorse for his part in it. Why? Well, just like everything else in this world, Money. It all comes down to who has the money to buy their way out of it. Bo Dukes is an absolute POS who will get out of prison and rape or kill someone again. HE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH HER MURDER!!! Our justice system is flawed. Leave Ryan alone and let him do his time. Quit trying to put more charges on him. Why, if Ryan can be charged in another county, why can't Bo be charged in both counties?? This case was absolutely ridiculous.
Interesting that Vinnie pronounced pecan more like a Georgia resident (“pee-CAN”) than the WSB guy (“p’cawn”). I hope Tara’s murder will get solved. It’s been way too long.
I think the prosecutor might have some personal feelings here - perhaps didn't like losing to a younger and prettier attorney. Thought she had the case locked up.
Bo was not that big. She said he was big. Also they made it look like Ryan started drinking n drugs after the death. He admitted to being passed out drunk the night of the murder. Maybe it made it worse but he prolly already had struggles because he was doing that already. 🤦🏻♀️
That woman said "this isn't possible" has never heard of one punch killing guys before. I would probably say its not very plausible but hell there was even a case that was featured on a documentary about accidental killers and the shame and guilt they live with and one of them was a dude who got into a bar fight and with one punch killed the guy.
Shame on you America! Such a beautiful and educated woman was murdered by those scumbags and they will go unpunished for their gruesome crime. How sad and unfair.
Prosecutors never want to admit they’re wrong even when they know they are
I believe Bo Dukes took advantage of Ryan been a junkie at the time and twisted the whole crime against Ryan, what a "friend".

I agree. Most police are lazy when investigating crimes against women and my experience of reporting a crime in Atlanta was they said we can't tell you if the man stalking you moved from Fl to Ga. No follow up or investigation.
Appreciate recap. Was watching another high profile trial at the time.
Wow! Reminds me of the Christin Smart Case out of San Luis Obispo County, Calif.
Then you wonder why people don’t come forward. Great example here. They should sue the prosecutors. This is disgusting. There’s been no justice for the victim here. They should be ashamed of themselves. This is not justice, it’s legal and political tyranny.
I don’t understand why prosecutors don’t charge the known murderer! That makes no sense!! This is not justice.. FOR SHAME! The family must insist on charges…!!
Good to see Vinnie out of the office doing groundwork.
43:51
I wonder if Bo’s ‘well-to-do’ family got to the prosecution?? It’s not impossible…
I’m actually angry!! WTH? The actual guilty person NOT held accountable!!
Addicts and alcoholics who commit crimes such as robbery should be sentenced to treatment for the addiction
Sadly, justice for Tara hasn’t been served & won’t be until Beau is charged with her murder.
Wow!! Ryan for you from the Philippines good job and congrats guilt no more and enjoy life mabuhay ka!!!
I'm telling you they got this wrong! Justice system is broken
Yes. Bo should have been investigated and charged to begin with. All the locals know Ryan didn't do this. They truly messed this case up!
Yes! More than a decade did nothing. But now very quickly wanted to put the first guy in prison and close the case, for ever! Disgusting!
When almost 20 years ago was 2005 😳
🥴
Loser meet loser, then others are in harm because they’re a waste of life.
The person who actually did the crime seems to be protected by police, courts & government. Their vindictive prosecution of the man after a jury acquitted him of murder, doesn’t mean they think he did the crime, but that they are upset with him for naming the person who he claims to have murdered the poor girl. They are probably hoping he’ll murdered in jail by a fellow inmate or they might hope he will make another false confession. I wonder how many other murders the person who actually did the crime has committed. Perhaps the FBI could find a reason to pursue this.
Did the jury believe that Bo planted the glove because he was the real killer? Why would he frame his friend and not just a random person? So he plants the glove but then stays quiet for a decade? The phone call and explanation for it. Some addicts do steal for drug money, so what was Bo’s connection and reason for killing Tara? None of it makes sense.
Ryan was just as responsible that's why his glove was at the scene. But here theyre not talking about it cause they want to paint him as some victim i guess for clicks
Bo set Ryan up from the beginning. He was an easy mark because of his substance abuse problem.
@@zxy78267 I don’t think so. They were friends so either they did it together or it was Ryan and his friend felt sorry for him and believed his story that he over reacted and helped afterwards. After a decade Bo had to get it off his chest because he was not the murderer but had.some guilt. Ryan did stay quiet. Bo did not set him up with the payphone phone call, the DNA on gloves, the motive, and the confession, those all came from and point to Ryan. Nothing else makes sense. imo.
@@livecalm2246Fair assesment but to me was Bo who killed Tara and Ryan was an accesory to it
I know nothing of criminal science but when it's dead silence......it's a powerful local person
This is awful! Those prosecutors to be sitting in a jail cell themselves.
I believe Ryan's testimony is the truth.
OMGOSH!! Who else cried at the reading of the verdict??
I was totally addicted to ‘Up and Vanished’ and Vinnie🎉!
I love this show. Vinnie is a great host, the animations are really cool, the stories are interesting & well presented
Me to I was watching court tv cuz I like to watch the trials and I saw the ad for this show so I binged watched the first 10 episodes. There’s supposed to be one on tonight but I’m not sure if it’s a new one does anyone know??
The defendant confessed to the murder
Now the défendent lawyers are betting on a dead horse 😂😂😂 he was on drug when he invaded Tara’s house and killed her for money
The rest is a game defendant lawyers were playing to get the défendent off the hook for justice
She lived in a HOUSE not an apartment 🥴
Maybe a house that had been divided into two apartments? The living space looked small to be an entire house.
“The need to confess.”
You may think you can confide in someONE, but eventually it’ll come back to bite you in the a$$.
so interesting that so many podcasts have solved closed cases. ;
Truth always prevails
Great Art! Shout out to the artist!
A killer is not gonna tell the complete truth. Like he said he went into rob her i do not believe that. Also they did not find a struggle and if he would have punched her there would have been blood which they did not find. This was planned especially getting her out of her home without anyone noticing probably because they were both involved all along.

Nice episode. Sometimes few local officials know that the murderer is likely an influential local guy based on circumstantial evidence. They may let the worst local investigator investigate the case. Just so the killer never gets caught. A punch by a tough male person at the right place can kill a girl. Regardless of who killed whom.
Even after all these years, Vinnie's still a hottie! ❤️. RIP Tara.❤️
At least here i could gladly say "innocent until you hear his side of the story" . Am glad he told the world his involvement and the prosecutors are mad 😂😂
Why admit to something as serious as murder in the first place
I've been following this case for years and could never understand why it had never been solved. Small times and gossip go hand and hand. Someone should have spilled the beans before now. Great show Vinnie except for the producer or reporter, whatever, her voice. Oh my goodness, grating.
It’s been solved already
Quit hating, the producer / reporter sounds just fine!
@@georgefromdownthehall3334duh, they are saying why it took so long to solve it, over a decade
It was solved already. Bo Dukes and Ryan Dukes were charged in 2019
@@sheilae.9670bo dukes was found not guilty in may 2023. He got 10 years in prison for the other charges related to disposing of her body. Same with Ryan dukes… 10 years for disposing of her body. So no one has been convicted for Tara’s murder!
Ryan’s pay phone call to Tara seems weird. Very odd.
Ryans new charges are a clear case of prosecutorial revenge for losing his murder trial!
And damn her voice is so annoying and loud.
But on the other hand no prison time at all for helping to cover up the crime?
I don't understand why the prosecutors hate Ryan Duke so much.
sore losers
I've heard of so many robberies that turned into homicides for no reason. Especially to women who couldn't or weren't even fighting back. She was also likely SA'd. Her home wasn't targeted by accident.
Keep your head on a swivel and don't trust anyone. If I could avoid other people entirely, I would.
Living your life in fear isn’t really living, it’s just existing. It seems like there are more murders, but statistically this is the safest time in history.
@@DVD927- Well if you can open someone door with a credit card that’s throwing your life away. Every woman (or even guy) who lives by herself should make sure she has a good strong lock, especially beautiful girls like her that many guys would find attractive and the crazy ones will act on it.
Today the technology is much better there is security strike plate lock, and ring camera (although the ring camera can only help to identify a robber/murderer after the fact, but it’s definitely a deterrent in break ins), having both is the best.
@@DVD927 I live like that, with very limited contact to people, and must say, it is the opposite of living in fear. It is freedom. Fear is going places, where you have no idea what weirdo's you may run into. Finally I do what I want to do, when I want to do it, and how I want to do it. If you're constantly with friends, you tend to compromise a lot, and sometimes do things you don't even want to do. Look what happened to poor Ryan.

I KNOW WHEN I TRAVE,L I WILL AVOID THIS TOWN AND STATE LIKE THE PLAGUE, NOT A SAFE PLACE WHERE THE RICH GET AWAY WITH MURDER
Justice has been done. Justice has been seen to be done. There ain't no justice.
So what’s the program all about? How an innocent lady was mistreated by those two animals and one of them being exonerated??
Where’s the heroism of the defense lawyer?

Put together very well
Hopefully Bo Duke will be dealt with what he truly deserves in prison, and will never walk out of the prison gates but will leave in a wooden box.

It doesn’t take a genius to see that both of these men are responsible for Tara’s murder. This is bullshiz.
I’m in my 50’s and never heard it called a pecan orchard. Thankfully at 11:33 someone said “pecan grove” just as I was starting to question my entire life being raised in the south 😮
Duke seemed to need to get the truth out there. I believed his version of what happened. Scared that the other guy got off with no time. A true friend wouldn’t do this. He picked a terrible person for a friend. So glad he got the chance to set the record straight.
14:08 ALL MOST HORRIBLE HORROR CRIMES CASES ARE IN USA NO DOUBT !!! 2023.
vinnie is the best host. :)
🙏 we are all brothers & sisters on mother earth, God will judge us when we leave here, rest in peace sweet soul😇🙏🙏🙏
I believe Ryan is telling the truth about how they hid and burned her body but that he is hiding everything else. I think both Ryan and Bo were high and drunk and killed Tara together. Since we don't have an actual body, we'll never know if she was sexually assaulted or strangled or tortured. Maybe Ryan is legitimately fuzzy about those details or maybe he is purposely not telling them but there is a reason a glove with his DNA was found outside Tara's house. Tara deserves better than all of this, if I were her family member I'd want to confront Ryan and Bo to tell them what I really think of them.
that glove was probably planted since it wasn't found until later
His alibi is passed out in his home after a night drinking and drugging with BO. Could he have been there when she was murdered, while high with Bo? Bo killed her than planted glove? That glove just doesnt sit right.

@@dawn1913very likely that Bo planted it there in order to make his ”buddy” look like the guilty one
The glove was there because Bo planted it there days after the first investigation. Tara’s boyfriend, who was a police officer, didn’t see the glove when he was looking for her. Did you even listen, or were you just typing up your own “conclusion”?! smh
I cant stand how that one court tv woman speaker talks.
✨I wish Ryan Duke and Bo Dukes nothing but a lifetime of nightmares... And I pray that Tara's loved one's can feel some peace with the "justice⚖️" the court delivered them💗
I believe Ryan will have a lifetime of nightmares, because he is remorseful. Bo however, got away with murder and shows no remorse for his part in it. Why? Well, just like everything else in this world, Money. It all comes down to who has the money to buy their way out of it. Bo Dukes is an absolute POS who will get out of prison and rape or kill someone again. HE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH HER MURDER!!! Our justice system is flawed. Leave Ryan alone and let him do his time. Quit trying to put more charges on him. Why, if Ryan can be charged in another county, why can't Bo be charged in both counties?? This case was absolutely ridiculous.
It clearly sounded like a false confession from someone completely sick or he was coerced something smelled wrong
Interesting that Vinnie pronounced pecan more like a Georgia resident (“pee-CAN”) than the WSB guy (“p’cawn”).
I hope Tara’s murder will get solved. It’s been way too long.
I say it like the WSB guy. I'm a Texan.
I'm from Alabama and we always said p'cawn
I'm from the Midwest and we always pronounce it peecawn.
I'm from NYC and I say pee-can 🤷
Atlanta and Savannah, Georgia, weighing in on p'cawn.
Good presentation
Im so confused..he confessed..his dna on glove. Not guilty?
Uhhhh, did you not watch the show, or.....? Cause it explains it pretty easily. Smh.
I think the prosecutor might have some personal feelings here - perhaps didn't like losing to a younger and prettier attorney. Thought she had the case locked up.
I remember this case and it being unsolved for years
Love watching Vinnie he’s such a great guy! So very sad for you Tara’s family ❤
Bo was not that big. She said he was big. Also they made it look like Ryan started drinking n drugs after the death. He admitted to being passed out drunk the night of the murder. Maybe it made it worse but he prolly already had struggles because he was doing that already. 🤦🏻♀️
What happened to Bo???
This touched my heart for many reasons and sadly the mighty dollar speaks to the lazy ones
That woman said "this isn't possible" has never heard of one punch killing guys before. I would probably say its not very plausible but hell there was even a case that was featured on a documentary about accidental killers and the shame and guilt they live with and one of them was a dude who got into a bar fight and with one punch killed the guy.
Great Show ❣️
Shame on you America! Such a beautiful and educated woman was murdered by those scumbags and they will go unpunished for their gruesome crime. How sad and unfair.
What a wild story.
Im so confused 😕
don't be surprised...
this is " GBI"...with a silver platter...
sorry to the family of miss Tara G..
