Default Some interesting thoughts on Tara Calico

I was doing searches through the missing person files tonight on the www. (Doe network and the like) and I found a site which has a rather unique profile of Tara Calico. Unlike the DOE NETWORK or CHARLEY PROJECT, the author of this site actually goes into an editorial of sorts on his theories about what happened to Tara Calico.

He does not believe that Tara is the abducted girl in the photo found in Port St. Joe, Florida and instead focuses on the items Tara discarded after she was apparently abducted while riding her mother's bike. These items included a walkman and the author attempts to prove some connection between where the items were placed and the possible destination of where Tara's abductors were taking her.

While the wording and logic the author uses is a times a bit meandering, it still allows the reader to look at the case from a different perspective.

Among other things noted is that Calico's mother Patty Doel sadly passed away this past May. (5-11-06)

okay um that picture just scared the hell out of me, i wasn't expecting them to show it

also they need to show the picture on the train with the girl having her head pushed back with the man's face, why not? somebody may recognize the guy!

this sucks, i'm so sick and tired of seeing people go missing, doesn't anyone ever come home safe!?

sick sick world we live in, America should be a police state, we need to stop this, I am so sad for the families who lose their loved ones. And to never know what happened to them, to never have a body, awful awful awful

^ I've actually seen that "train picture" - the guy looks really creepy but it does look staged. The girl looks more like "Kennedy" (old VJ from MTV) than it does Tara Calico and the two look like they are enjoying a prank from what I remember. The guy actually has a weird smile on his face waving an object in front of the woman's face like you would a small child expecting her to grab it.

It used to be online somewhere but I cannot locate it anymore but to my eye it was staged.

interesting, it must have looked somewhat like her, no? Otherwise how would it be linked to Tara's case. The link didn't say where the train picture came from. where'd they find it?

did you see the second one at all?

Has anyone seen this? It's another candidate for the unidentified boy in the infamous Polaroid...

^ Yeah I've seen that site and I don't believe its actually that boy. The only graphic on that site in my mind that looks anything like the boy in the polaroid is the composite sketch of the kid. Just my opinion.

Do any of you think that she was killed by David Parker Ray? I'm reading this twisted book Slow Death about him and he resided two hours away from her in Truth or Consequences, NM at about the time of her disappearance. There was a white van that was in the Belen area at the time of the disappearance that resembles his white Dodge Ram utility vehicle that contained a red police flashing light hidden under the seat and he had a badge he would use to snatch his victims (that would account for Tara being snatched by a lone man). He probably told her that her bike was stolen and handcuffed her and brought her bike along in the back of his Ram, then took her to that spot where he did what he wanted to her and afterward drove her somewhere out of the Belen area (possibly to the pot farm).
Ray was even born and grew up near Belen, NM where Tara was taken, so he was familiar with the area. He also reportedly had a dungeon on this marijuana farm that his kids were growing pot for him on in the 80s in Fence Lake, NM. His state parks job took him all over the state. The prosecutor investigating Ray for the infamous crimes that he commited from 94-98 in the book even says that he wonders if Ray was the one that killed Tara. Ray died in prison in 2002, so we may never know for sure.
Also, I never thought that the polaroid of the bound girl and boy in the van was a picture of Tara. The girl bound in the photo looks younger and different in the face than Tara, to me.


If you haven't heard of Ray and want to look for info on him, beware. This is one of the worst sadistic serial torture rapists/killers that I have read about. This guy completely dominated and terrorized his victims in such an evil way that it makes you sick. I won't post any of the details here because they are mostly sexual in nature. So google him at your own risk. You have been warned.

Hmm, interesting theory skunk ape. Had he ever been arrested for abductions, rapes or similar crimes before Tara Calico disappeared? If he'd never been arrested before it's no wonder authorities didn't investigate him.

Calico's mother passed away?

How sad. Just like the Nyleen Kay Marshall case - it breaks my heart to know these people went to their graves never knowing what happened to their children.

He had never been arrested before his toybox of horrors was discovered in 1999. One of his kidnap/rape/torture victims escaped and they picked him up.

I did a little research and found that Nyleen's mother died in 1994.

I think Skunk Ape has a good lead there. I've wondered about this case for years, but if the guy's dead we're probably not going to know.

I fully believe that the bound and gagged girl in the Post St Joe Polaroid is Doreen Jane Vincent.
Here is a side by side comparison;

Everything except the hair (which changes) matches: The Chin curve, the jaw curve, the nose, eyebrow lines, eye shape, overall face shape. The circumstances and timing also match.

DD, Thank for writing about the case from my website.

13 years old certainly doesn't match.

Wavy hair doesn't match.

Plus there's no indication of a long narrow neck in that photograph from the van.

And the apparent long legs from the girl in the photograph suggest she's taller than 5 foot 4.
