THERE'S A NEW EFFORT TO SOLVE A CASE GOING BACK 25 YEARS. IT WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 1988 WHEN 19 YEAR OLD TARA CALICO DISAPPEARED WHILE RIDING HER BIKE ALONG HIGHWAY 47 IN RIO COMMUNITIES NEAR BELEN. NOW A MULTI-AGENCY TASK FORCE HAS BEEN CREATED TO INVESTIGATE THE CASE.
BERNALILLO COUNTY SHERIFF DAN HOUSTON SAYS THERE IS A LOT OF VALUE IN RE-VISITING OLD CASES LIKE THIS. HE SAYS MANY TIMES WHEN THEY GO BACK AND TALK TO WITNESSES THEY GET NEW INFORMATION AND NEW STORIES. HE SAYS THEY EVEN SOMETIMES GET CONFESSIONS FROM PEOPLE LIVING WITH A GUILTY CONSCIENCE.
HOUSTON THINKS NEW TECHNOLOGY AND TOOLS COULD HELP ADVANCE THE INVESTIGATION.
