About

Before Fame

A Texas fisherman named Robert Wayne Spinn discovered her body in October of 2007. It had been dumped into Galveston Bay.
Family Life
She was born to teenage parents Kimberly Dawn Trenor and Robert Thomas Sawyers and was cared for primarily by her paternal grandmother, Sheryl Sawyers (who later identified "Baby Grace" based on police composite sketches).
