Tara Calico was a smart, accomplished and athletic college freshman who biked into the New Mexico desert one morning in 1988 and never came back. A year later, a peculiar photograph appeared in a parking lot over a thousand miles away in Florida. The search for Tara would enlist the help of investigators across an ocean only to eventually reveal corruption back home. Whatever happened to her resulted in a sprawling mystery that remains unsolved to this day.
