In 1988, 19-year-old Tara Calico disappeared without a trace. She left home for her regular bike ride and never came back. Before leaving, she jokingly told her mom to come looking for her if she didn’t return. 10 years later, a photo that seemed to show Tara was discovered 1,500 miles away.

Although unverified, the image seems to depict Tara based on matching scars and the presence of a dog-eared paperback next to her. In the photograph, both Tara and a young boy appear bound, gagged, and visibly terrified, adding a layer of mystery to her disappearance.
