If you listen to the Esqubel podcast (Ep2 around the 34 second mark) a lady did ring the police claiming she was the girl in the photo. Apperently the computer in which the officer recorded the details of the call crashed and all data was unrecoverable. She never got in touch again.

I’ve quoted my post #871 from the original thread below: “Anyone interested in the photo I encourage you listen to the episode dedicated to it on Melinda Esquibel‘s pod cast VANISHED: The Tara Calico Investigation / Episode 2: Who are the two kids in this photo? It covers lots of the questions...

Here's the original Unsolved Mysteries episode. You hear Tara's parents say the're convinced it's her, the same goes for Michael Henley's parents who belived the boy was him. Sadly Micheal was found the following year close to the campsite he wandered away from. It's almost certain Tara...

The FBI analysis was inconclusive if it was Tara or not, Los Alamos analysis deemed it wasn’t her, while Scotland Yard gave a positive match. When the news breaks in the Calico case it will be conclusive proof it isn’t her.

There are developments unfolding in the Calico case https://www.websleuths.com/forums/threads/nm-tara-calico-19-belen-20-sept-1988.28898/page-21 I suspect once full details come out they will categorically rule out it is Tara in the Port St Joe Polaroid

As part of the investigation into the disappearance of Tara Calico her family were shown many photographs. Of them all, there three which they didn’t rule out being a positive ID of Tara. The Port St Joe photo, the Amtrak photo and the Montecito photo.

Although we now have a name, it feels all the more sad that little Joe must have lived such a miserable and fearful short life. My elation at finding his identity is replaced by one of anger at the people who did this to him. The fact that LE are holding back information hints that there is...

If you read back through the thread, you'll find the only reason the three photos are linked is because Tara Calico's mother believed they bore a strong resemblance to Tara and could possibly be her. A desperate mother grabbing onto any hope and keeping LE active in looking for Tara.

The logo on the boy’s T-shirt was believed to be of Spuds MacKenzie and originated from Busch Gardens, so perhaps a link to a Florida location.

Analysis done by Los Almos National Laboratory on the original polaroid, using a negative image to enhance, they identified a number of possibilities for the number. The first digit was 3 the next three were either 242 or 274 and the next four were either 2318, 2315, 2328, 2325, 2378 or 2375...

Hi Sony12, No there’s nothing new regarding the photo. The last info was that she believed that she had a lead but was throwing up more questions than answers. The investigation into Tara’s disappearance is all pointing to her been killed where she vanished in New Mexico and hence is...

Anyone interested in the photo I encourage you listen to the episode dedicated to it on Melinda Esquibel‘s pod cast VANISHED: The Tara Calico Investigation / Episode 2: Who are the two kids in this photo? It covers lots of the questions raised here. Also mentions the witness who saw the two...

Interestingly this is getting a lot of attention with the recent FBI announcement of a reward for information leading to the discovery of Tara. Who knows, it could lead to identifying the two in the photo.

There is an update in the latest Tara Calico pod cast (episode 19 around 5m 20s in), just released today, from Melinda Esquibel that eludes to a tip regarding the two kids in the photo Melinda states she is following this up with a PI but it is leading to more questions than answers.

Hi Sony12. Thanks for the call out - I'm still here but haven't posted as feel there isn't much more to contribute. For the record, I can categorically confirm I’m not one of the kids in the picture! For what it’s worth I think the photo is a hoax. When you see the original, that has...

So it would appear there is at least a link between Budweiser merchandise and Busch Gardens. Check out the second from last paragraph here that talks about 50 years of memorabilia from Busch Gardens.

New pod cast distances the Polaroid even more from Calico

You're probably right, but unfortunately due to the link to the Calico case and the national exposure the photo got it still sticks. Just like so many people when I first saw this it filled me with horror. It's something that you can't un-see. Your heart goes out to these kids and you want...
