Description

Tara Calico was a 19-year-old college student from Belen, New Mexico, who went missing on September 20, 1988. That day, she set out on her daily bike ride along New Mexico State Road 47 but never returned. Tara's case became nationally known due to a mysterious photograph that surfaced a year later, showing a young woman resembling Tara bound and gagged in the back of a van alongside a young boy. The Polaroid was found in a parking lot in Florida, nearly 1,500 miles from where she disappeared.

Despite extensive investigations and a few potential leads over the years, Tara's case remains unsolved. Her disappearance has led to numerous theories, ranging from abduction to murder, and the photograph sparked intense public speculation. In 2008, local sheriff’s officials suggested they had evidence linking two men to Tara's case, but no arrests were ever made, and no conclusive evidence was found. Tara’s mother believed for years that the woman in the Polaroid was indeed her daughter, but forensic analysis has yielded conflicting results.
