Fort Worth Police arrested a man on Wednesday, Feb. 23 who they say is their main suspect in the disappearance and death of Marissa Grimes.

Valerian W. Osteen, 24, had previously been arrested by Fort Worth Police on a domestic violence charge on Jan. 9, 2022. Police said Grimes, 26, was listed as the victim. Osteen bonded out of jail on Jan. 13, and an emergency protective order was issued that forbade him from contacting Grimes.

Almost a month later, on Feb. 12, Grimes was reported missing to the Arlington Police Department. On Feb. 21, Fort Worth patrol officers found a vehicle associated with the case and discovered information that led them to an address in the 5800 block of Locke Ave.
