October 2, 2005 .................................Tara learns from a friend that MH is home
October 4, 2005...................................Tara confirms, by phone, with MH that he is home and tells Tara that the relationship between them is over. Tara is so shocked and distraught that she requests assistance while driving home from class in Waycross.
October 5, 2005....................................Tara takes the day off from school to recuperate from the bad news.
October 14, 2005...................................Although Tara had a scheduled day off from school, she stopped by at 9AM for a few minutes, then spent the rest of it with her mother. Confirmed by correspondence, Tara stopped by the Harper's home in the evening.
October 16, 2005...................................Tara and her mom go to the fair in Perry. Tara spends the rest of the day with her mom in Hawkinsville.
October 18, 2005...................................JH, a software company salesman, stopped by Tara's room at school. The software he sold targeted keeping children interested in school. There were rumors the man who met Tara at school was HD, but it was JH instead.
October 18, 2005...................................Prior to arriving at night class, Tara and MH had a heated argument, which she then related to a friend at class, as well as to another friend, the following day, while lunching together.
October 20, 2005...................................Tara buys a weeks worth of groceries at the local market.
October 21, 2005....................................Tara shops in Fitzgerald.
October 22, 2005.....................................Pageant girls arrive at Tara's for hairstyling and makeup application. The girls leave at different times throughout the day because some were competing earlier. The pageant begins at 3PM but Tara arrives later. At 7:45PM, DW, one of the contestants, walks Tara to her car. Tara speaks to RR in front of his house in Ocilla before the BBQ. RR was living a few houses down from the Davis home at the time. Tara arrives at BBQ sometime after 8PM and stays until 11PM. During her time there, she receives several phone calls, including calls from ME and HD, among others (unknown).... Missing poster and alerts state the last time Tara was seen was at 11PM.
October 23, 2005.....................................Not being able to reach her, Tara's family and friends become concerned, as she isn't returning their calls. HD, Tara's friend and friend of the family drove to Ocilla, and called her mother when she wasn't answering. Tara's mother, in turn, called Tara's neighbors, the Portiers, thinking they might know where she was, but they said they hadn't seen Tara that day.
October 24, 2005......................................Because Tara, known for her responsible work ethic, neither called the school, nor reported for class, the principal called her neighbors, the Portiers. Mr. Portier checked and noted Tara wasn't there and called the police chief. The Harpers and others arrived prior to LE and entered Tara's home.. In the meantime, Tara's friend Maria Hulett was already en route from Hawkinsville. When she arrived at 8:50 AM, LE were already there, but was allowed into the house in the company of Detective Barrs at all times while she checked if anything appeared out of the ordinary.
