EPISODE 04: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TARA CALICO

On a bright September morning in 1988, 19-year-old Tara Calico left her home in Rio Communities, New Mexico, for her usual bike ride—and never came back. Hours later, fragments of her Walkman and a cassette tape were found scattered near the road. Witnesses reported a suspicious white pickup truck trailing her. But no body. No bike. No arrests.

In Part 1 of this gripping two-part case, we take you back to that morning: Tara’s final known moments, the chilling eyewitness reports, and the desperate search that swept through her small desert town. What began as a routine ride on Highway 47 became one of the most haunting unsolved disappearances in New Mexico history.

Tara Calico was smart, vibrant, and full of life. This is her story.
And it starts with a pink Huffy bike… and a vanishing.

If you have any information about the disappearance of Tara Calico, please contact the Valencia County Police Department at (505) 866-2400.
Or call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or online at tips.fbi.gov.
