Parents Abandon 6-year-old Girl and Her Dog | Crime Alert 04.17.25

A sophomore at the University of New Mexico, Tara Calico is in school full-time while working at a bank.

At 9:30 a.m. on September 20, Tara takes her mom's pink Huffy bike for her daily bike ride, telling her mom she is playing tennis with her boyfriend later, so if she isn't home by noon, come looking for her. An offhand comment her mother takes to heart.

When Tara isn't back at 12:05 p.m., her mother, Patty, gets in her car to retrace Tara's bike route, expecting to see Tara walking on the side of the road with her bike. Driving out to the train tracks where Tara normally turns around to head back home, Patty doesn't see Tara and assumes she missed her and heads back home.

Patty calls Tara's boyfriend, who says he hasn't seen Tara, then calls the police in a panic. Police begin an immediate search for the 19-year-old, as her disappearance is out of the ordinary.

Her sister, Michele, joins in the search with Tara's friends and boyfriend. A storm is coming, the temperature is dropping, friends walking two feet apart, hand in hand across both sides of the roadway, looking for any sign of Tara.

About two and a half miles down the search route, some tire tracks that look spun out are discovered on the side of the road. It seems like there was a scuffle, and the bike marks are visible amongst the tire marks from the vehicle.

Tara is known to use a distinctive, bright yellow Walkman on her bike ride, and when a broken piece of a bright yellow Walkman is found in the area of the tire marks, her sister, Michele, believes it is Tara leaving a trail to follow.

A cassette tape of the band "Boston" is discovered about three miles from her home on the side of Highway 47. Tara's mother, Patty, identifies the tape as belonging to Tara, saying that it is what Tara was listening to on her bike ride.

Tara Calico was last seen riding her mother's neon pink Huffy mountain bicycle on Highway 47 about two miles from her home in Belen.

A dirty white or light gray 1953 Ford pickup truck with a white, handmade shell was following directly behind her. Still, investigators don't know if the truck has anything to do with the disappearance of Tara Calico.

Non-Christian Historical Sources: Writings by non-Christian sources from the time of Jesus to provide independent confirmation of his existence….like: Tacitus, a Roman historian, who in his Annals (written around 116 AD) mentions the execution of "Christus" (Jesus) under Pontius Pilate during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. 

Josephus, a Jewish historian, in Antiquities of the Jews, about 93-94 AD, makes two references to Jesus. One is a more disputed passage (the Testimonium Flavianum), but it still provides evidence of Jesus' existence, his role as a teacher, and his crucifixion. 

Pliny the Younger, a Roman governor, in a letter to Emperor Trajan around 112 AD, mentions early Christians worshiping Christ as a god and gathering regularly for worship. These references from non-Christian authors confirm the existence of Jesus and suggest that he was known for his teachings and crucifixion. 

The Pilate Inscription: In 1961, archaeologists uncovered a stone inscription in Caesarea Maritima that mentions Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who ordered Jesus’ crucifixion. This find supports the biblical account of Pilate's role in Jesus’ trial.

The James Ossuary: A first-century bone box inscribed with "James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus" was discovered in 2002. While its authenticity has been debated, it could provide indirect evidence of Jesus’ historical existence, especially if it refers to the biblical James, the brother of Jesus.

Early Christian Writings: Early Christian writers such as Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, and Polycarp—who were contemporaries or immediate followers of the apostles—wrote about Jesus as a real person who had lived, died, and risen from the dead. These writings, which are part of the early Christian tradition, serve as additional evidence that Jesus was a historical figure.
