Seduction or Abduction?

Posted: 08:57 PM ET

A Florida millionaire—Reid Gray– gets a ransom note in his wife’s handwriting, saying kidnappers are demanding $50,000 for her safe return.  But investigators aren’t buying her story at any price.

Police say they have 37 discs of recorded evidence – interrogations, secret recordings and phone calls – all supporting the theory that 37 year old Quinn Gray was in on her own “abduction”.  Among these recordings was a sex tape that features the kidnapped woman and her alleged abductor.  So, with this, authorities believe that Gray’s captor was actually her accomplice and lover. 

But I’m not sure what is more bizarre, the weak attempt at allegedly staging an abduction or the fact that Gray’s husband stands behind his wife. He claims that she suffers from bipolar disorder and says that because of her mental illness, she became a part of the scheme. He does not “believe for a second” that his wife cooked up a kidnapping story. At one point during the taped evidence, Quinn Gray and her “captor” discuss the idea of either getting the money or just blowing her husband’s head off. When asked in a television interview what his response is to this statement, Reid Gray says it was “hurtful”. You think?! This brings new meaning to the term “for better or for worse.”

This lady obviously knew what she was doing. She was able to plan this whole thing with her lover and is now trying to use mental illness as an excuse for what she's done. Her husband is trying to hold onto the last shred of dignity he has by standing by her. He needs to see this for what it is and make his children's safety and well being his top priority.

Corinne   November 9th, 2009 9:31 pm ET

I'm so sick of hearing all kinds of excuses for people when they break the law and now have to face reality. I have listened to her in the interrogation room and she is SO phony.
I feel very sad for her kids and her husband and I hope he wakes up soon because standing by her is not going to change this lady. She wanted a lover not him its time for him to face that also. Tough love..
I pray for the best for him and his kids.

Christine   November 9th, 2009 9:39 pm ET

This lady is crazy in the sense that she thought anyone would buy this story. She's as bad as the balloon boys father. Taking up the time of our resources that could have been spent on ligit kidnappings, burgularies, domestics, murders. I think there should be an automatic additional 5 years mandatory sentence for reporting falseities. Our police, and extended protectors are busy enough without all of these "junkcalls", (like "junkmail"). She better be charged in this case.

1. Who would ever describe RAPE by an abductor as "SEX"?...instead of "I was raped repeatedly" she says "we had a lot of sex".

Keith McMillan   November 9th, 2009 9:48 pm ET

I have a close family member that has been a patient at St. Simons By The Sea twice this year. It is not a high class rehab center. It is a very modest older building and it is in the middle of St. Simons Island. It is definitely not by the SEA.

Jessica   November 9th, 2009 10:10 pm ET

I think that sounds exactly like someone who has bipolar disorder. Someone who is bipolar gets ideas in their head and act impulsively. They are usually promiscuous , so it's not unusal that if she is bipolar, she would have an affair, if not many. I would say it probably would be her idea because bipolar people can come up with some crazy ideas. If she has actually had help with the disorder, her husband would know and would know the syptoms of it. He has probably seen first hand some crazy things, and understands that she needs help. And if she has been diagnosed, I would assume she would be on medication, and if she is, she must have taken herself off of it, to end up doing something this extreme. I don't know the details of this story, but I know personally alot about bipolar disorder and the way they act, because I was misdiagnosed and put on drugs for 5 years and while on the drugs, I acted as someone who had bipolar would act. People who have bipolar disorder do things that don't make sense because they get an idea in their head and they do it, without thinking whether it's good and what the consequences will be. If someone tries to put sense in their head, they're already set in their ways and it's hard to rationalize with them.

HI NANCY LOVE YOUR SHOW SEDUCTION AND INTENDED MURDER MR GRAY IS LUCKY THAT SHE WAS SO SMART THAT SHE OUT SMARTED HER SELF. CLEARLY SHES ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO THINKS EVERY ONE IS STUPID BUT HER. AND SHE MUST ALOS BE SOMEONE WHO IS SO RICH THAT WATCHING TV IS BENEATED HER........BECAUSE ONLY SOME ONE WHOS NEVER SEEN TRUE TV OR THE NANCY GRACE OR CSI (HOW MANY ARE THERE) WOULD TRY SOMETHING THIS STUPID AND WHEN HER HUSBAND COMES OUT OF THAT DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS SHOCK HES IN AND FINALY GETS MAD SHE OUT ON HER SPOILED ROTTON BEHIND MOTHER OR NO MOTHER OF HIS KIDS AND HOPE SOME JUDGE GIVES HER THE THE FULL AMOUNT OF JUSTICE THANKS FOR BEING YOU

Jessica   November 9th, 2009 10:34 pm ET

-She was able to plan this whole thing with her lover and is now trying to use mental illness as an excuse for what she's done. -just because you're bipolar doesn't mean you're stupid.
-This lady is crazy in the sense that she thought anyone would buy this story. – obviously an average person wouldn't think of this plan and go through with it knowing how crazy it is.
-instead of "I was raped repeatedly" she says "we had a lot of sex".- crazy statement!
Not saying she does, but no one thinks there could be a possibility that maybe she does have a mental illness?

Jeremy   November 9th, 2009 11:33 pm ET

As the victim of a manipulative wife, I know how confusing it can be when the woman you love suddenly becomes your worst enemy. If the evidence we are being shown is true, this woman is extremely unpredictable and dangerous. It wouldn't be right to convict her without a full examination of the evidence. Nonetheless, I wish I had been able to see my wife for who she really is before I suffered as much as I did. I hope this man has plenty of support. He'll need it.

starsurf808   November 9th, 2009 11:47 pm ET

She has Borderline Personality disorder.
Much less know and understood but revenge and manipulation along with little remorse and absolutely no personal responsibility for their own actions are key descriptions of a serious mental illness that is difficult to diagnose because of little noticeable outside symptoms other than highly inappropriate actions and reactions and inability to form long lasting and appropriate bonding to others. Usually very intelligent and convincing.

Mary   November 10th, 2009 12:51 am ET

If this woman truly is bipolaras her husband suggests, it appears that she is eithes unmedicated or improperly medicated and she was unknowingly self-medicating with alcohol. The akcohol would bring her high mood down. She is completely out of control and has little if any control over it. She will have to pay consequences but more importantly she needs to have a proper psych eval, be put on the proper meds and then receive good education about bipolar disorder. Her husband also needs to learn as much as he can about his wifes disorder. It can be hereditary. There are many different forms of it.One can be a functioning contributing member of society with Bipolar dsorder.One famous person is actor, comedian Robin Williams

SG   November 10th, 2009 2:42 am ET

If I have to have sympathy for anyone in this situation, it would be for her husband who is [sadly] unable to recognize and accept the truth. Being in denial doesn't change the facts as they are and regardless of how deeply her husband is in denial, he needs to get professional help so that he can "wake up and smell the roses" and as for his wife, she needs help but she also needs to accept the responsibility for her actions.

Jackie   November 10th, 2009 2:59 am ET

Well if she's as "sick" as she says she is then she should be locked up in a mental hospital where they can control her and keep her on her meds. Someone threatening to blow someones head off shouldn't be on the streets. What a nut bag.

Melissa (Mattingly) Velasco   November 10th, 2009 4:00 am ET

Im sick and tired of people blaming their actions on alcoholism. and claiming they did't know any better !!!!!! THATS BULL S%IT
Im a recovering alcohlic and Ive taken resposibility for my past actions. No "Treatment Center" is gonna help her .Until she gets honest with herself. and as for the poor husband hes in total denial, I would direct him to go to an Alanon meeting now!!

patty   November 10th, 2009 4:06 am ET

does anyone notice this man is gay? she is tired of living a lie. she may appear crazy, but how long can you live a lie?

Tina Cushman   November 10th, 2009 4:09 am ET

This woman is obviously derranged! Why would the husband stand behind her with the audio tapes of her and her lover staging all of this plot to extort money out of her husband and she also has a history of adultry. I dont understand the way some people can be so nieve.

Tally Wellman   November 10th, 2009 4:16 am ET

Lots of people have mental illness. They don't go around wanting to blow poeple up! The cold manner in which she said it speaks for itself. COLD AS ICE!

Michele Willow   November 10th, 2009 7:49 am ET

I live in Ponte Vedra Beach a few streets down from the Greys and have found that women in this town are far more apt to excuse Mrs. Grey's behavior. This area is about appearances and ones reputation. If she had just filed for divorce she would have been shunned which is ridiculous however now people feel sorry for her because of her so called bipolar and other medical excuses for her outrageous behavior.
Any woman who excuses a stupid, cheating, lying witch is only showing her true colors of what you would do if you were in her position. Get a clue – if he cheated on her she should have left him the very first time. To file a divorce is inexpensive but if you want a divorce to live off that man for the rest of your life it is costly. I walked away with 2 kids and $30.00 to my name I took our clothes and my PERSONAL belongings after 12 yrs of marriage I did not want alimony and my ex only paid $50.00 a week for child support. I got a better job got my own place and moved on never looking back. I saw no reason to "clean him out" live off his money or take a house or a car away from him. I was the better person because I wanted no connection to him at all except for the sake of our children. Anyone who stays with a cheater deserves what they get. Even if they don't cheat and you feel the need to get divorced do it with dignity and stop trying to make a man pay for the rest of his life for a relationship that did not work out. Divorce is an adult situation it has nothing to do with your children and for their sake you should learn to tolerate each other remember at one point he was good enough to have children with. You should not under any circumstance become a wealthier woman because of your ex's contribution by way of child support payments. You should not take or get alimony period, get your lazy butt out there and get a job. In the case of this witch she is another poster woman for why good guys get screwed and why good women cannot find a man who has not been screwed up by a bad woman. Her husband should have left the sorry witch in jail gotten a lawyer to get custody of their children and kept everything she obviously did not think much of him or her children by her own actions. Maybe her little boy toy will come to her rescue and if not may she enjoy her life without her children, husband or her nice house on the beach. Obviously I have no sympathy for this woman, she like Susan Smith used the Justice system scared a community and falsely accused another I am sure she did not count on her husband the father of her children to call the police. The tapes speak for themselves and she got caught and needed some pitiful story to get her self out of what she herself got into. I say shame on her and anyone that feels sorry for her.

joann   November 10th, 2009 9:58 am ET

she should do time in jail for a long time,and her husband should divorce her,quick!!!!!!

chitown lady   November 10th, 2009 10:50 am ET

She tosssed her great life right out the window and for what? A scamming 26 year old user. WHAT AN IDIOT. For $50K are you kidding me. She needs to be slapped for STUPIDITY! Let this chick rot in jail. I feel bad for her husband and child.

chitown lady   November 10th, 2009 10:53 am ET

Yeah know, Im really tired of all these women who get lead astray by scamming men all come with disorders. They only disorder is see is a women not knowing she is being USED. there is no USED DISORDER. How about that. Stop all the made up disorders to set this idiot free.

S. Sefcik   November 10th, 2009 11:27 am ET

I think the husband planned this whole fiasco. I think he planted her "lover" and that's why there are tape recordings.
It was stated he had an affair that Quinn found out about. Maybe he wants his freedom now.
He had admitted Quinn to Rehab (now he has a good excusef or full custidy of the children).
Reid stated "After rehab it was the best 6-8 weeks of their marriage".
Oh, please. He's playing his part.
He also stated during the 911 "this is like a movie". Probably had that thought while thinking this whole thing out.
I just find his attitude and comments very fishy.

Lashara   November 10th, 2009 1:35 pm ET

Hello Nancy! First off i would like to say that i LOVE your show. I dont think that the Mrs Gray has any type of illness at all. They are using that to excuse her for what she has tried to do to her husband. I forgot the lady's name, however she stated that she was treated for a mental illness that hasnt been diagnosed.But what i am having trouble understanding is how could she go to be treated for alcoholism, and end up being treated for something that hasn't been diagnosed? How could they even treat it if they dont know what the problem is? I was outraged when hearing the story and people making excuses for her. She seemed in her right mind while talking with her lover about what she was going to say and how she would react. Other than her family, one thing that I am concerned about is that she may get off by pleading mental illness. Now I'm no pro at this, however she seemed as if she was in her right mind. And the situation is sad that she looked and seemed so happy with her husband and family and yet she seemed so cold about killing him point blank. I just wish everyone would STOP making excuses for her and accept the fact of what she did to herself and to her family!

Stacie   November 10th, 2009 1:41 pm ET

I went to high school with Reid Gray and feel horrible for what he and his family are going through right now. He was always a very kind-hearted, gentle person without a mean bone in his body. I hope the media can give Reid Gray the privacy he and his family need and deserve to effectively cope during this tragic and devastating time in their lives.

Bunny   November 10th, 2009 1:58 pm ET

Interesting....describing the event as sex versus rape. Husband not being totally PO'd – maybe he is in on it as well. At the very least – they are both "unsuitable" to be parents.

Steve   November 10th, 2009 2:03 pm ET

Who cares?

notcrazy   November 10th, 2009 2:37 pm ET

I do not understand this mental illness thing. I know many bipolar individuals who have never behaved criminally even when they were struggling with their meds. The issue here is not mental status but moral status. Just as many many paranoid schizophrenics have difficulties when off their meds ( as do diabetics, PKU etc), most do not have criminal behaviour. Sorry-she should be in jail, on her meds, and coming to trial,.

dizzybuzz   November 10th, 2009 2:42 pm ET

While this woman may or may not be bipolar, studies of drug abusers, many of whom are bored housewives as well as other professions, suggest that many people seek and manage to obtain a medical diagnosis that will result in being prescribed pharmaceutical medications for the occasional pick-me-up or for anxiety and stress relief. Bipolar meds may included Xanax, Valium and other "mother's little helpers". Not attempting to be judgemental of those that seek legal meds under false pretense, but merely suggesting that defenses based on impaired mental states should be viewed with a bit of scrutiny.

Kristin   November 10th, 2009 2:45 pm ET

The woman is a wackjob and needs serious help. The husband obviously has low self esteem if he's willing to stay with a wife like that. Why don't they just divorce like a normal couple with problems? We're not about fixing marriages in America, we're about ending them. What's the matter? The husband made her sign a prenup?

Peter   November 10th, 2009 3:11 pm ET

She might be crazy but she must be great in bed... Maybe he misunderstood what she meant by saying "blow his head off."

Lucas   November 10th, 2009 3:12 pm ET

This woman really is crazy. The man's a millionaire and she only demands $50k? And from a guy who clearly worships her. She can't convince him to just give her $50k? Strange indeed.

Tonya   November 10th, 2009 3:31 pm ET

Why can't millionaries like this meet nice NORMAL women!!?? There are so many out there who would provide a happy healthy marriage and he gets stuck with that thing. Sad.

Jo Jo   November 10th, 2009 3:59 pm ET

What's in the water down in Florida?????

Theresa in Ohio   November 10th, 2009 4:18 pm ET

How many crazy people are there in Florida ?
So many of the cases discussed on your show have happened there.
I watch your show every night & am a supporter of your efforts to bring
justice to situations just like this one.

Alski   November 10th, 2009 5:23 pm ET

I think her ultimate plan was to have this boyfriend kill the husband when he went to drop off the 50k. I think the boyfriend knew she was nuttier than a fruitcake and just played along for the sex. I don't think he had any intention of killing this guy. That's why the drop never happened. This way if the husband turned up dead. Authorities would as her "where did $50,000 suddenly go"? If she were to pay after the fact. This way the husband was technically paying for his own hit. He'd go drop off the money. They'd kill him. Take the money and in the mean time she would escape. Really I don't think the B.F had any intention of going through with it. He just kept playing along for the sex.

Joy   November 10th, 2009 8:37 pm ET

I hope they look deeper into the "family history" to get the real story(ies)

Barb Carter   November 10th, 2009 9:20 pm ET

Nancy WE LOVE YOUR SHOW!!!

I happen to live in Florida, approximately 35 minutes from where this escapade took place. From the moment it was made public, I knew she was off with another man. How does a "perfect" wife/mother take her own car on a three day weekend and disappear?

There may be those who believe her story; however, the ultimate group decision here is that she, Quinn Grey, believed her money and or status would get her out of any trouble should she get caught. This is a "made for TV", such as LifeTime, to make Ms. Grey more money on her own so that she does not have to harm her husband. I believe that her husband is doing what he has to do until his wife is done at the spa, then a quiet divorce will ensue.

I feel so sorry for her children, for they are the ones suffering from her sexual romp with her boyfriend.

Laura   November 10th, 2009 9:37 pm ET

This women STINKS! She has a lovely family maybe her husband is not paying to much attention to her well h$#%! She is one sick ticket, she sickens me. Children are being tortered and hurt by other people and she volenteerly hurts her family, her choice. Another sicko that the courts will send again to another lovely rehab for something. Oh that poor dear.

Mary   November 10th, 2009 9:46 pm ET

As to alcoholism being a disease or "mental illness" concerning this case, I wanted to say my dad was an alcoholic. I do not believe it is a disease, but a choice, just like taking drugs. I have systemic lupus. THAT is a disease. Cancer is a disease. Alcoholism is NOT a disease.

She's just a piece of work!

rj   November 10th, 2009 9:50 pm ET

I have bi-polar and just curious how is it a defense for someone doing something wrong. Bi-polar does not cause someone to do something and have no control, it is just how your emotions feel mentally.

Jude   November 10th, 2009 10:03 pm ET

This appears to be case of a bored housewife that money couldn't buy a content life, therefore next step? Infamousy! Its so typical of the rich; Quinn gets sent to posh hospital/rehab, the not rich alleged boyfriend is in jail. Smells already. Quinn's lawyer speaks volumes; last resort is always the insanity defence. Says it all.

Max   November 10th, 2009 11:20 pm ET

This is a very ill woman. A manipulator, selfish, and abusive woman who is abusing the stereotype of men are bad and women are victims. She would have us believe she is the victim, where she is not only a criminal but an unfaithful spouse.
We see too many woman with this evil behavior pattern.

Richard Pena   November 10th, 2009 11:32 pm ET

The statement she made to police sounded more like she was going to write an erotic novel about a secret love affair. Her husband is in denial if he isn't outraged over this scheme.Between her and the baloon boy's mom who do you think should win the most convincing actress award?

Clayton   November 10th, 2009 11:48 pm ET

According to a recent conversation with Assistant States Attorney in Chipley, FL, it is illegal to record someone's voice or conversation without them knowing. If this is the true, how does it play in this case? Will these recordings be allowed?

ismeta   November 10th, 2009 11:57 pm ET

one thing is disgusting ,that women like that play with Rape First of all they do not have respect for women who wore Raped. It is weary hard for women To prove that she Is Raped. I was kidnapped and rape , not so many people Believe me, And if she was making up all that story because of attention, I think that she is One big Whore and i am disgusted to does women That . When comes to men i do not trust them. She reraly hurt my feelings id she was faking, if she was not than forgive me i feel with her. Remember there many of us that are abused and raped .And there is nothing FUNNY or CUTE about. And there is nothing cute in adultery or fanny,when we see how many children are aborted and ab ended.

TheOtherD   November 11th, 2009 12:36 am ET

Totally irrational. She could have gotten so much more money in a simple divorce. Unless she was planning to kill her husband as the previous poster theorizes, she was having some sick fun by cheating on him and stealing some money that was hers anyway! Looks like she enjoyed "playing" men. Big ego rush to have a young boyfriend- maybe the money was just a holiday bonus for his services:)

Renee   November 11th, 2009 12:54 am ET

WOW, it just totally blows my mind how she refers to it as 'having sex' just like the Dr. said on tonight's show, she speaks of it with anticipation. She helped with taking her clothes off. For Pete's sake, what rape victim has ever helped their attacker have access?? This woman knew exactly what she was doing and has no remorse or class. The parents may be playing games but what's really at stake here is the future of their two little girls. They don't deserve what's ahead of them. SAD,,, very SAD!.

Dani from AZ   November 11th, 2009 1:21 am ET

I think at this point she didn't even need to fake her abduction since he's so whipped. I think that right now she's probably reviewing his life insurance since the abduction didn't work...

Lydia   November 11th, 2009 2:07 am ET

As a rape victim, I am DISGUSTED with the way she describes her alleged rape. No rape victim would describe what happened to her as "having sex, a lot", nor would they help their attacker by taking off her own clothes, or like what she was doing! Every victim I've ever spoken to describes it as rape, attack, assault, but never sex. The kicker is when she is asked what she was thinking right before the rape- a true victim would say that they were afraid, panicking, etc. not think "Oh, we're going to have sex now!" Horrible.

Jen   November 11th, 2009 2:55 am ET

It's offensive that this woman is allowed the attention she is getting with this very obviously false claim of kidnapping and rape. Any true victim of rape would N E V E R call it "sex". She only makes it more difficult for TRUE victims to come forward without the fear of being disbelieved. Yep, Quinn Gray definitely has problems–but more likely narcissism than bipolar disorder. Her husband needs to grab those poor kids and run from her as fast as he can...

Pamela   November 11th, 2009 8:04 am ET

Looks like she watched that movie with Bett Midler and Danny Devito too much where Bett Midler did same thing to her husband in the movie. Very simular. Kind of ironic. Sounds like a board housewife to me. Pathetic.

Abby   November 11th, 2009 9:30 am ET

I knew Quinn Gray!! She was my neighbor!! I never thought that she could ever do anything like this. I feel terrible for Mr. Gray. He is such a good man and would never do anything to hurt anyone. How could she ever do this to him? And her little girls, her poor little girls who I have babysat!!! Her older daughter was my little sister's best friend. I am still in complete shock. She defiantly needs some serious help.

Laura Wallace   November 11th, 2009 11:41 am ET

This women isn't crazy!!! She just got caught! I quess mental illness comes and goes! HUH? Once again.... if people had to pay for what they did... instead of crying mental illness... This BS would stop!!!!

Meredith   November 11th, 2009 12:02 pm ET

Why isn't anyone talking about how and when these 2 met? It's obvious this had been going on for awhile if she would suggest this man blowing her husband's head off. Phone, internet records, and the list goes on........
I'm sure the authorities are remaining tight lipped to build a case against her....

Terri   November 11th, 2009 12:13 pm ET

I think the $50,000 was bait for her boyfriend. Then she would blackmail him and have him kill her husband. Then she would get it all. Her husband is a lucky man to be alive if you ask me.

Pam   November 11th, 2009 2:24 pm ET

After seeing this story on Nancy Grace I wanted to comment on the rehab Saint Simons By The Sea. I was a patient there about 3 years ago it was then called Focus By The Sea. It is not a high class rehab. It is not by the sea either! Once you get to the back you are strip searched and they go through your stuff and confiscate any sharp objects. You are not allowed to have anything electrical so if you want to blowdry you hair you have to wait until a certain time and go to the nurses station and use you stuff down there. You do get alot of group therepy and it does help. It saddens me to think she faked this abduction. I hope she truly wants help with her alcoholism and gets the help she needs for her bipolor disorder. I guess we will have to keep watching

Pam   November 11th, 2009 3:09 pm ET

Wow. These viewers have some really awesome theories on what this trio could be up to. My first thought was if the hubby is a millionaire, why didnt she just divorce him and take him for half instead of getting the boyfriend to blow his head off? But realized that even she doesnt think she is a fit parent for custody. Yeah, i agree, bored nympho housewife. Poor thing. I bet if my husband were a millionaire i would have still married him for love and could have found better things to do with my time than have an affair and act like a moron.

carol   November 11th, 2009 3:24 pm ET

Bipolar is a very sad illness. I have a dear friend who has done many crazy things during his episodes. When he's stable he's a very dear sweet person. I understand why the husband is on her side.

You should not judge her saying that she is lying or using the illness as an excuse. You're not in thier shoes.

pippa   November 11th, 2009 7:24 pm ET

before jumping to any conclusions about het mental state, what I really would like to know is, for how long these two knew each other and how did they actually meet, since apparently they do not cohabit in the same social circle...
I guess those simple answers could provide an awful lot of helpfull info to portrait either Mrs Gray & Osmonovic personalities!!!
Anyone can provide that info ,by any chance?

Lucia   November 11th, 2009 7:35 pm ET

This is supposed to be a mother? A grown woman? Professional? What the BLEEP is going on here? She should be ashamed of herself, and her poor kids. Her lover chickened out....she is in a comfortable hospital right now....six star may I add and the poor lover is in JAIL who is the vitim here? She was the mastermind controlling the whole situation.....too bad she is so stupid

Susie Pedersen from Banning, CA.   November 11th, 2009 9:10 pm ET

I just wanted to say in regards to the Quinn Gray "story" that I was raped at the age of 18 and a virgin – I can tell you that you DO NOT remember complete details of your attacker – if a man is raping you the fear and terror is so great that it fogs most of your memory.

I only remember his voice and that he had dark curly hair – I cannot even remember the details of his face – I was out on a date with him, he tricked into going into his house because he said he forgot his jacket – so I don't believe for one second that she was a kidnap victim – I say she is full of BS too!!!

It sickens me when she said she was “almost” or “sort of” “enjoying it” I forget her exact words but there is NO WAY that a person who was being raped would EVER say a thing like that! What she did was plain EVIL!

God bless you Nancy , your sweet little blessings from heaven – John David, Lucy Elizabeth and your husband David.

God bless you extra for expressing your faith in the Lord for all the world to see – you are using your God given gift and the Lord will surely bless you – you never know who's life you will touch! your sister in Christ, Susie Pedersen

PS I am going to try to call your show but I am just 1 in 1000's who will be calling!! LOL

Sherry   November 11th, 2009 9:47 pm ET

Quinn Gary dosen't sound bipolor on the recording of her planning it all. As for her husband, has he not heard these tapes? I don't get it. How can one be so blind?

Tina   November 12th, 2009 12:21 am ET

This whole thing is crazy! And why would the hubby stick around after all this? Revenge?

Marilyn   November 12th, 2009 2:00 am ET

We judge so easily. As a bi/polar in remission for 18 years, I know that it's very possible that this lady is bi/polar. It usually comes out in a woman in her 20's, and the first time can be very much like her behavior. Usually some kind of life change causes it to come out. Then again, she could just be cold hearted and out for her self. Let's just not be so quick to judge when we really don't know. Her husband seems like a smart man and if he wants to help her and support her then we need to be glad that some people in this life still have a caring and kind heart. I acted out crazy...when I was really in a happy marriage with all going well in my life.It happened all of a sudden when I was 28 years old, right after the death of someone close to me.I think she has lost touch, which is a chemical imbalance.Time will tell.

I'm glad that the kind lady clarified the conditions of the facility that the rich manipulator-Quinn Gray was taken to; seeing she spent time there herself. Thanks for sharing. Bi-Polar which is a new name for Manic Depressive has millions afflicted. We all know many and they certainly do not do what this woman did. We don't even know this is what she has. Remember on the tapes she says she has " to have a few more marks". What does that mean? Drugs? There is way more to this than we all know. We don't know details of husbands affairs, who they were with-could have been with close friends.She hates his guts for some reason to the point to wanting to blow his head off. In other words; no conscience. She can screw around,care nothing of her children. Who knows, may be their relationship was all for appearances and $$$ from the start.Why aren't we hearing from his co-workers,family,neighbours? Ever notice the richer they are the less becomes public? Why is Florida such a crime ridden state? Family values & morals must be non existent. So very sad. Very good comments from everyone.

Alright this lady is a wack job all the way! She is nutty! I feel sorry for the husband and child.
AND for the person that asked "how can the husband not be totally PO'D" EASY....He can't change it, why be upset at something that you have ZERO control over....

jb   November 12th, 2009 4:13 pm ET

I dont know why she cheated on her husband,, hes hot!!, and she is scum. The guy that supposedly raped her, hes a dog!! UGLY!!!

The post by Jessica is right on. When a person is in the 'manic' or heightened state, permiscuity, obsessive and compulsive behaviour are the norm until they craswh and then the depression, feelings of low and I mean low self esteem. At times revereting back to child like state of mind who needs to be told she is a good girl , she is forgiven and she is loved. Personally, I admire her husband for sticking by her BUT that doesn't mean I think that she should not suffer consequences after that is what 'children' learn from and in the case of a manic, they will develop a sense of 'not wanting to touch the hot stove again' and will consider consequences.

This person must be mentally ill. Who plans their own kidnapping?

The husband is taking the high road. He has a rep to regain. A 26 y/o took your wife?

The wife is hanging the lover out to dry.

Once again, no ones thinking of how this will affect the children.

Money will never buy happiness.

Audrey   November 14th, 2009 11:48 pm ET

Please do not confuse Axis II personality disorders with mental illness. The woman is not suffering from a bipolar disorder. Google BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER. She fits the diagnosis perfectly. We often hear "she has to be crazy to do something like that" or "he must have a screw loose". Deviant behavior is not mental illness – it is a problem of character – a personality disorder.

C worrels   November 14th, 2009 11:48 pm ET

Just curious, based on Quinn's suggestion of " blowing her husband's head off", was she trying to manipulate her young boyfriend into killing her husband? Would there have been a motive, ie, insurance money or other financial gains? Could there have been a bigger picture in Quinn's plot that included fingering her kidnapper/boyfriend as the a murderer too? Was she planning on setting the boyfriend up, she had also pointed a finger at the boyfriend at the warehouse location?

Violet   November 15th, 2009 3:33 am ET

Mrs. Gray faked it because she knew that she was going to lose her kids.. So she and her boyfriend plan it the whole thing. So what if she was in a rehab .. How many parents go to rehabs and get there kids back.This has nothing to do with it but look Casey Anthony killed her daughter and blamed it on the nanny but the whole time I think the family has alot to do with it especially the brother Jamie.. But the piont is that how sad can u get to fake that someone kidnapped u but the whole time u plan it all along for what 50,000 .How long did she think that was going to last not to long but what ever now if I was the court I would not give any of them custody of those kids there are both unfit parents and someone should take those kids before the parents do something to them...

Dawn Hanna   November 15th, 2009 3:47 am ET

Pretty sad! Quinn didn't need to extort money from herself, she has money of her own. Those "tapes" were made after she was abducted for 4 days, Nancy! Quinn was kidnapped, raped, robbed, and stalked! She did not know Osmanovic! Osmanovic and his girlfriend(hooker) planned and stalked the Grays. Quinn was not in town when Osmanovic said he met her. Get your facts straight Nancy! You have a history with Quinn's lawyer (the Anthony's lawyer) and we know how much you detest this lawyer. Is this why you are using an audio tape that is inadmissible in court to spread filth about Quinn that is untrue. Look on Jasmin Osmanovic's my space and read his motto "Life's a bitch so F$%# her". The police found the Grays jewelry, family pictures, a gun, black zip ties and much more at his warehouse. Osmanovic bought the recorder after three days and Quinn maintains that he rehearsed over and over again what she was to say! She is innocent and you don't have all the facts. Yes she lied to the police originally because she was afraid for her family to tell the truth. Osmanovic, by his own admission and in his affidavit admitted to taking Quinn from her home and wrote many letters to Reid threatening his life and saying that he released Quinn because she promised to get him the money. Quinn and Reid have been together for 14 years and Reid had no money when they met, she did, she worked as a BSN in Boston for years. She surely did not need to extort money from herself or her husband as it is both their money. Fools. Besides the tape, there is no evidence that this was not a kidnapping. That tape was given to authorities 10 days after the kidnapping by Osmanovic's live in girlfriend Cali Bowers. You do not know the circumstances that were present while she was taped. I hope nothing like this happens to any of you! Do you know for sure how you would act??? Go find child killers, you are much better at that.

Dawn   November 15th, 2009 4:33 am ET

While I'm at it, go to Cali Bowers's my space under Cali-licious birthday girl and look at my pics..Jasmin Osmanovic is all over them..In the furniture less house except the computer they used to write notes to Reid and a reporter in Florida stating that he did indeed kidnap her and many other things. She was married to Reid for more than ten years and the money that Reid made while he was with her is THEIRS. She did not need 50K, Osmanovic and his live in girlfriend did. They were broke! He stalked her as of who knows when. She did not know him and would never go with him willingly! That audio tape is not worth the tape it was taped on. At least tell the whole story if you are going to continue to bash Quinn. Osmanovic is scum.. Quinn was vulnerable and naive to these types of people. She is alive today because she went along with Osmanovic's plan. He is guilty, Quinn's illness was exascerbated by this kidnapping and she is not responsible for any of her words or actions after the time he took her from that house.

Dawn   November 15th, 2009 4:33 pm ET

By the way, Jasmin Osmanovic's live in girlfriend, Cal Bowers was involved in this kidnapping. Jasmin Osmanovic called Bowers 10 times a day from Quinn Gray's cell phone and Bowers knew that Quinn Gray was a missing person, why didn't she call the police. The same for the motel owner, who saw Quinn and did not put 2 + 2 together. PULEEEZE . Bowers knew that her boyfriend had Quinn. Why not spew Bowers name all over that show of yours, she found the audio or made the audio and turned it in to the police after ten days. Many people had their hands on that tape and did whatever to it. How about Osmanovic's filthy and lying statements he made to the police. Or the fact that the Gray house was robbed and stalked by Osmanovic by his own admission. Quinn did not know these people and Quinn was kidnapped! End of story. Please feel free to investigate the real facts in this case and not just salacious gossip. This is horrific for our family as it is, without your taking info out of context and from a tape that was made 4 days after Quinn was kidnapped. You are wrong, Nancy Grace, about Quinn.

IT IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE...

Get The Shovel Out.....Dig Deeper

Look Not At The Wife....But At Her Husband.

She Was Set Up.

susan   November 15th, 2009 7:01 pm ET

No judgements from me. . . .

mak   November 15th, 2009 10:37 pm ET

Frankly, I don't care if she's tri-polar! She's dumber that all of us if she thinks she's got us fooled.

Karin   November 16th, 2009 4:31 am ET

I think John Gosslin and Quinn Gray would be great for each other! They do NOT know how to keep their mouths shut! They belong together!!!

Gina Chiarenza   November 16th, 2009 2:33 pm ET

IT IS NOT WHAT IT ALL APPEARS TO BE...

Get The Shovel Out.....Dig Deeper

Look Not Only At The Wife....But At Her Husband.

She Was Set Up.

She fell for the Setup > Hook, Line and Sinker.
She is not innocent, However, the husband is most likely not the "Sweety-pie" and supportive man he appears to be.

Karma   November 16th, 2009 3:21 pm ET

Mr. Gray, get a clue and leave this scheming, conniving, adulterous woman and go make a life for you and your children. ...far far away from this thing.

Dawn   November 18th, 2009 2:32 am ET

Anyone wonder???? It doesn't make sense that Quinn would extort money from herself???She had her own money, Nancy, Reid made all his money during their 10 year marriage. So what you are saying makes no sense. That Quinn was the one money was being extorted from is the truth. Quinn is not a druggie or a drunk. She is a sweet, beautiful and loving mother and wife. This whole kidnapping and subsequent behavior by Quinn is a result of being terrorized. She may be bi-polar, but she is alive. The rest of the BS is just speculation and from a taped that was made by the kidnapper and Co. 4 days after Quinn was taken. I wonder what you would do if you were taken from the twins for several days and your families lives were threatened.???

Dawn   November 18th, 2009 2:34 am ET

QUINN DID NOT KNOW OSMANOVIC PRIOR TO THE DAY HE TOOK HER FROM HER HOME. THEY HAD NO RELATIONSHIP!

Michelle   November 27th, 2009 1:06 am ET

Bi polar disorder which she may or may not have. It's "undiagnosed" so who can prove she suffers from it? Bi Polar has nothing to do with morals and character. You can be bi polar and suffer terribly, but still be a good loyal person who would not betray the one you love. Look at this woman's mug shot. Is that not a calm unemotional look on her face? She has a smirk, a calm placid smile. Also, someone commented on this forum that they went to school with Mr. Gray and that he was a kind-hearted kid. Well, it's that type of kind-hearted person, unfortunately, that are preyed upon by unscrupulous evil people. Why is it that these witches win over the good guys – and wealthy too! This is how she pays him, but taking on a lover, who, by the way, appears a lot older than 25 years of age, so I imagine he had some sort of hard life in Bosina. He is also very attractive and I'm sure they had passionate sex between them, which the husband got to listen to for 20 minutes and still he worships her?! People have become desensitized to their mates having adulterous affairs due to on-line porn. People don't value or cherish sex between two people who love each other anymore. Mr. Gray didn't seemed phased by listening to his wife f–king that Bosnian for a graphic loud 20 minute! It's all so sad. It's not that she wanted $50,000. Like she said, she could have withdrawn that money from the bank. That was less than what he made per month! She had a bigger plan, a bigger scheme to get her lover to murder her husband. She's a cold-hearted player. Not only did she plot to murder her husband but she was totally playing her lover, as well. She knows that Reid Gray worships her and she was well on her way to ensnaring the Bosnian man into doing anything for her, as well.

Mike White   November 27th, 2009 1:16 am ET

For everybody who keeps saying she's "stunning". She really looks kind of plain to me.

As for supposed bi polor, she is an alcoholic which means she's an "addict." Addicts are known to be selfish manipulating people that destroy lives. As for Jasmine Osmanovic, I wonder what his story is? He's not rich like the Grays, so who knows what kind of lawyer he'll get. So far, his lawyer is not talking. Also he taped their sexual activities and verbal planning so he was not totally trusting his accomplice.

Mrs. Love   November 27th, 2009 1:45 am ET

I've read Dawn Hanna's comments and find them very interesting. She says she's a family member. Did anyone catch that? Last line of the large paragraph? How does she know all the information she has posted here, and why hasn't it been broadcast on the show? Osmanovic is a total scum bag according to Dawn and plotted this with his girlfriend. Why isn't his girlfriend in any kind of trouble? Well, she did find and turn in the tape. I guess her hands are clear of this? Maybe after reading Dawn's post, Quinn was trying to be friendly and cooperative with Osmanovic to ensure her safety. Maybe she just pretended to go along with it? Although the "blowing his head off" remark wouldn't have been necessary to act as if she was pretending to go along with it. Even Osmanovic was like "say what", to the "blow his head" comment.

jane   December 21st, 2009 12:19 am ET

Who cares about the money she wanted to sceme off her husband. What about all the money that she took from the taxpayers of florida trying to find the crazy lady? She should be made to pay that back. And what happens now when a women truly gets kidnapped? Will we have doubt that it could just be another desperate nut and not react the way we should?
