94. The Disappearance of Tara Calico: A Town's Dark Secrets

In 1988, 19-year-old Tara Calico disappeared while biking in Belen, New Mexico, sparking a decades-long investigation. A chilling Polaroid photo, silent townspeople, and revelations of local corruption deepened the mystery. Sheriff Rene Rivera later claimed Tara was accidentally killed by two young men, but fear and influence kept witnesses silent. A deathbed confession in 2013 uncovered a cover-up orchestrated by the sheriff, whose son was involved in Tara’s murder. Despite this, Tara’s body was never recovered, leaving the case unsolved. Ongoing efforts by the FBI and new evidence in 2021 offer hope for long-awaited justice.
