Tara Calico: Disappeared in 1988 (Belen, NM) | Part Two

EPISODE 05: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TARA CALICO Nearly a year after Tara Calico vanished, a Polaroid photo surfaced in a Florida parking lot—showing a bound and gagged teenage girl who looked hauntingly like her. The image launched a nationwide media frenzy, reignited public interest, and deepened the mystery surrounding one of New Mexico's most infamous cold cases. In Part 2, we follow the leads: the man in the van, the sealed search warrants, and the theories that stretch from small-town secrets to federal investigations. We hear from Tara's mother, Patty, who carried that photo in her purse for years, believing it was proof her daughter might still be alive. Thirty-five years later, new evidence may finally be pushing this case toward the truth. Because someone still knows what happened on that desert highway.
