Flying the colors The flag is to be flown at full staff today. At least that has been the storyline. But to Valencia County Sheriff Rene Rivera, the case much of a whodunit. He says he knows what happened, and has for years. Twenty years into the Tara Calico mystery, Rivera would like to let everyone in on what happened to 19-year-old Tara out on N.M.

47 on that September day: individuals who did the harm to Tara, knew who she Rivera told me. knew who she was, and all local individuals. And I believe that the parents (of the attackers) were some of the people that helped the individuals with hiding the truth or hiding the body or trying to escape Tara was 19 and starting her second year in college. Her attackers were boys she had gone to high school with, although they were behind her in school and younger, Rivera says. was a real pretty girl.

She was very athletic and a lot of guys wanted to talk to her, they wanted to meet her, they wanted to go out with her. And while she was riding the bike, they went up to try to talk to her, try to grab her, whatever, while she was on the The truck they were driving accidentally hit Tara, Rivera says, and bad turned worse. Rivera has been working on the case since he started as a deputy in 1989, since he was promoted to detective in 1996 and since he was elected sheriff in 2006. For all of those years, the walls of Valencia County have been talking, naming names of the boys who were in the truck, names of the boys who helped bury body after they killed her, names of the parents and other relatives who helped clean up and cover up the mess. Rivera says he has had enough information to get arrest warrants for the two boys now men whom he has identified as the killers.

Two others have been identified as accomplices. Then why, 20 years later, are we marking another milestone anniversary of a missing case? Because Tara Calico is still missing. kind of hard to make a Rivera says, a Rivera and Detective James Purdy are still talking to people about Tara Calico, and hoping that time will wear away some of the resistance to answering that one lingering question: What did they do with her? know very frustrating, being that a lot of people that know what Rivera said. know the whereabouts of the body or the remains. lot of the information that we are getting is because people are starting to open up a little more.

When this first happened, people were scared. People were threatened not to speak out because what happened to Tara could happen to One of the most riveting aspects of the Calico case was a Polaroid photo found outside a convenience store in Florida a little less than a year after Calico went missing. It showed a bound young woman who looked strikingly similar to Tara, in the back of a van, staring at the camera. A boy, also bound, was lying next to her. parents had the photo analyzed by Scotland Yard and said it was determined to be Tara.

An investigator for the Valencia County District Attorney had a Los Alamos National Laboratory analysis that determined it Maybe the photo was of Tara, Rivera says. But all of his informants tell him Tara never left home. believe the he says. And he believes her bike will be with it. father died in 2002.

Her mother died in 2006. Living family members, kids when Tara was a kid, are grown. Tara would be 39 later this month. want to be able to give them closure, to be able to say, you know, I got the individuals who did whatever they did to her. I was able to recover the remains and give them to them to give her a proper Tara disappearance is one of New oldest, most lingering cold cases.

a mystery getting hotter every Rivera told me. people have this information, and had it for so long that gotten sick by hiding the information they have, and now coming forward to try to relieve themselves. of these people that were witnesses to the crime have been scared to come forward. They think that, being that they were there, that going to get prosecuted for the death. At this point, what I want to let people to know is that, if there were witnesses there, willing to work with them.

I need to have their information. I need to be able to recover this You can reach Leslie at 823-3914 or Read all of her columns at www.abqjournal.
