In 1988, Tara Calico mysteriously vanished while biking along a New Mexico road. Her mother, Patty Doel, who previously accompanied her but stopped due to a sense of being followed by a motorist, was alarmed when Tara didn't return by noon. Search efforts yielded only Tara's Walkman and a cassette tape; Tara and her bike were never found. Witnesses reported a 1953 Ford with a camper shell trailing Tara. The case took a disturbing turn in 1989 when a photograph was discovered in a Florida parking lot. It depicted a bound woman and boy, both with taped mouths.
@fasc1nate The mom was already alarmed by a motorist following her but still let her daughter venture out on her own?
@YeeEhren @fasc1nate It was the 80's... that's how shit was.
@YeeEhren @fasc1nate I had to scroll far too long for this comment.
@YeeEhren @fasc1nate Yeah I don’t understand this lol alarmed due to being followed but just lets her daughter keep going by herself?!
@YeeEhren @fasc1nate She made a bad decision in the moment and then regretted it for the rest of her life, which wasn’t long. It’s easy analyzing spur of the moment human decisions when you’re at home comfortable and completely unattached to the situation
@YeeEhren @fasc1nate she was 19, she could do what she wanted.
