The Quinn Gray Kidnapping Hoax Was Like A Real Life Gone Girl

Publish date: 2024-05-04

Reid and Quinn Gray were living in a $4 Million home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida at the time of the crime. Their Facebook pages were awash with photos of a happy marriage, exhibiting glowing smiles against a backdrop of enviable wealth. The investigation into Quinn's disappearance revealed a less savory story. It was discovered that Quinn stayed out late partying, drinking to excess, and enjoying the company of men of about 10 years her junior. Reid reported that Quinn admitted to infidelity one night when she came home late with her underwear in her purse, as per CBS.

In September of 2009, Reid walked up to their home to find a note attached to the door. He recognized his wife's handwriting as the note told of Quinn's abductors and the ransom demand. Police later found Quinn at an Orange Park parking lot on September 7, 2009. When found, she told investigators that she'd been grabbed from her home three days prior by "thugs" who demanded money, as per The Florida Times-Union. She claimed she was being held at a Jacksonville motel, but when police interviewed the manager of the motel, Quinn's story became increasingly suspicious (via CBS).
