My guess is the girl came forward and didn't wish to be identified so they just quietly closed her case without the press knowing. Word will come out eventually though. It always does.

I am convinced that investigators know everything except the precise location of Tara's body. I am also convinced that the chief perpetrators are dead. I do think that there is at least one accomplice after the fact who is still alive. I know that there is no statute of limitations on murder, but I don't know whether the statute of limitations applies to accomplices after the fact.There is this article I found while doing an internet search for any information.
Investigators say they have new leads in Tara Calico disappearance
It has been 33 years since 19-year-old Tara Calico left her home for a bike ride along Highway 47 in Valencia County.

The Valencia County Sheriff’s Office has announced it will be making an announcement next week in regards to an infamous Valencia County missing person’s case.
Tara Calico
A press conference will be held on the morning of Tuesday, June 13, where Sheriff Denise Vigil, along with representatives of the Federal Bureau of Investigations, will be providing new information abut the 1988 disappearance of Tara Calico.
“Substantial progress has been made in this investigation and it is time for the public to be made aware of this new information and its impact on the community,” is what was stated in a press release from VCSO on Tuesday, June 6.
Calico, who was 19 when she disappeared on Sept. 20, 1988, had gone for a bicycle ride.
She was last seen riding a neon pink Huffy mountain bike with yellow control cables and sidewalls.
Calico left her home on Brugg Street in Rio Communities to go on a bike ride at 9:30 a.m., that September day.
She rode her mother’s bicycle as her own was damaged.
She was last seen riding along N.M. 47 in Valencia County at about 11:45 a.m. Calico biked this route daily during her routine 36-mile ride.
She was wearing a white T-shirt with “1st National Bank of Belen” on it (size medium), white shorts with green stripes, white ankle socks, and white and turquoise Avia tennis shoes. Calico was also wearing a gold butterfly ring with a diamond insert, a gold amethyst ring and half-inch gold hoop earrings.
In 1998, a judge deemed Calico “deceased,” ruling her death a homicide, according to reporting by Albuquerque television station KOAT, and a sealed search warrant “relevant to the case” was executed at a home in Valencia County in the fall of 2021.

I agree. To have a big press conference they must have very sold evidence and are all but certain they know who did this and they are still alive.
Oh they got them. This is all signs of basically a solved cold case and letting us know but cant officially say it. hopefully we will get the name or names of who did this terrible act within a week or so.(RBBM) This is concerning considering all the names mentioned in those documents. JMO.
New details on Tara Calico case to be revealed Tuesday - Valencia County News-Bulletin
“Substantial progress has been made in this investigation and it is time for the public to be made aware of this new information and its impact on the community,” is what was stated in a press release from VCSO on Tuesday afternoon.
“At this time, law enforcement believes there is sufficient evidence to submit this investigation to the district attorney’s office for review of potential charges,” Vigil said. “Currently, the identities and specifics of the persons of interest are sealed by the court and will remain so until a court orders otherwise. Regardless, community members remain a vital resource and we always welcome additional information.”

This is all signs of basically a solved cold case and letting us know but cant officially say it. Think about it...they wouldnt go 35 years without much of anything at all then suddenly announce this publicly. There must be extremely strong evidence.My guess is forensics like a fingerprint or DNA.They are submitting their findings to the DA for charges.
