On September 20, 1988, 19 year-old Tara Calico vanished during a routine bike ride along Highway 47 in Belen, New Mexico, a route she knew by heart. Despite witness sightings of a suspicious truck following her and the discovery of her Walkman fragments on the roadside, no trace of Tara or her bike was ever found. Then, nearly a year later, a Polaroid was discovered in a Florida parking lot, showing a young woman and a boy bound and gagged in the back of a van, one that Tara’s family believed showed her. The photo reignited national interest, but decades later, the case remains unsolved, haunted by silence, suspicion, and a family still searching for the truth.
