The Polaroid in the car park

On June the 15th 1998 a woman found a Polaroid in a car park which depicted what seemed to be two young kidnap victims.  She said she had parked next to a windowless white van and gone in to a shop.  When she came back out to her car the van was gone and the photo was on the floor.




It is believed that the girl in the photo is Tara Calico who went missing the year before on September 20th in New Mexico.  She went out in the morning for a bike ride only to vanish, her and the bike, and never be seen again.  No one saw her being taken but it is widely accepted that she was kidnapped.  There was a sighting of a truck following her as she was riding but this could be just a truck going the same way as her cycle route.  The boy in the photo has not been identified.  There was a claim it was Michael Henley who went missing in April 88.  However his body was found in 1990 in the Zuni mountains, 7 miles from his families camp site and 75 miles away from where Tara had gone missing.  It is believed he had gone off alone for some reason, maybe he became lost, and died of exposure. 

There has been recent efforts to find Tara and look in to the origins of the photo but so far they have turned up empty handed.
