Tara Leigh Calico missing and the creepy polaroid

20 September 1988

Tara Leigh Calico was a young New Mexico woman who suddenly disappeared 31 years ago.

In the wake of 19-year-old "Craigslist killer" Miranda Barbour's shocking confession—that she murdered at least 22 people as a member of a satanic cult—authorities and her family are questioning the veracity of her claims. But a friend of Barbour's believes her, telling Jezebel, "She has maintained [the same] solid story for three years now."  "I would imagine that [Miranda] was admitted for self-harm, depression, and suicidal tendencies, as she suffered...
