Based on my judgement by watching the UM segment. Mark had killed her or had someone killed her. All circumstances point to him. Otherwise, she decided to up and leave but fell victim to someone else.

Although the boy met a tragic end, may he now finally rest in peace.

Based on the UM segment, it's likely that she was exposed to the more seedy and despicable parts of Hollywood which led her to be driven insane and possibly commit suicide. Otherwise, her intuition might have been true and someone was out to get her ala Black Dahlia. Or this friend who last saw her knows more than he led on and if he was telling the truth, he left her at the mercy of the streets of Cocoa Beach or unrelated people to harm her.

(Above photo credit: athensreview.com) For nearly four decades law enforcement in Texas as well as amateur doe sleuths are trying to find the identity of a teen girl left for dead and found after Halloween in 1980. Case History: The victim's body was dumped on side of I-45 north, 2 miles north of Huntsville, TX. The general condition of the body and her overall health and nutrition indicated she had probably come from a middle class home. There were no identification with the body. No semen was found on or in the victim's body. When the murder became known through media accounts, several people came forward and said theyd seen a teenager matching her description the day before her body was found. A witness identified the victim as a girl who had been at the South End Gulf station around 6:30 p.m. on Halloween night asking for directions to the Ellis prison unit. She had been wearing blue jeans, a yellow pullover sweater with big pockets that hung below her waist, and she was carrying high-heeled sandals in her hand. To the best of his recollection, she had been let out of a 1973 or 74 blue Chevrolet, possibly a Caprice, with a lighter colored top, which was being driven by a white male. She looked disheveled like she had been traveling, and perhaps sleeping in her clothes. She left the station, walking north on Sam Houston avenue. A waitress working at the Hitchin Post truck stop on Interstate 45 said the girl came into the restaurant the same evening and again, asked for directions to the Ellis Unit, saying she had a friend there. A map was drawn for her and she departed. The waitress asked the girl how old she was and the girl responded 19. The witness thought that was an obvious lie and then asked the girl if her parents knew where she was. The young girl replied, "Who cares". The witness then stated she asked her where she was from. The girl replied Aransas Pass/Rockport, TX area. It has not been verified that the girl was the unidentified victim. Her photograph was shown to every inmate at Ellis Prison Unit, but no one claimed to know the girl. On January 16, 1981, the unidentified girl was buried in the Adickes Addition at Oakwood Cemetery. Huntsville Funeral Home buried her, and Morris Memorials provided her tombstone. It is believed that Henry Lee Lucas killed this girl, but investigators could not make a match between the bite mark on her left shoulder and his dental reconstruction. Case Details: Walker County Jane Doe was found lying face down and nude by a truck driver on November 1, 1980 near the Sam Houston National Forest in Walker County Texas. This is about a half mile south of the FM 1696 exit near Huntsville. The victim, an attractive young teenage girl, had been savagely beaten and sexually assaulted before dying by slow strangulation. Her face and body were covered with bruises from the beating and there was a human bite mark on her back near her right shoulder. The autopsy revealed she had been sexually assaulted with a blunt instrument. When the murder was reported, several people came forward and said they'd seen a teenager matching her description the day before her body was found. One witness, the manager of a gas station which no longer exists, positively identified the victim as a girl who had been at the station around 6:30 p.m. Halloween night asking for directions to the Ellis prison unit. She was wearing blue jeans, a yellow pullover sweater with big pockets that hung below her waist, and carrying high-heeled sandals in her hand. To the best of his recollection, she had been let out of a 1973 or 74 blue Chevrolet, possibly a Caprice, with a lighter colored top, which was being driven by a white male. She looked disheveled like she had been traveling and perhaps sleeping in her clothes. She left the station, walking north on Sam Houston avenue. A waitress working at the Hitchin Post truck stop out on Interstate 45 said the girl came into the restaurant the same evening and again, asked for directions to the Ellis Unit, saying she had a friend there. A map was drawn for her and she departed. She never reached the Ellis Unit and she was never seen alive again. Thoughts? This has been a high profile case among web sleuths for a while now but as far as I can recall, this case was never picked up by a national true crime show on her own accord. She was briefly mentioned in Crime Watch Daily as part of a lineup of Carl Koppelman's unsolved renderings in a segment of his efforts to help identify Tammy Jo Alexander.

After the Dark Matters profile, I've started to reassess my suspicions of Penny. Which leads me to wonder who took her and why. The abduction, the call and the diner siting just don't add up and all debatable.

I often read that there is at least three photos claimed to be in connection to the Calico case. Until recently I have only seen the one with the bound girl and boy. Now that the other two have surfaced online (or I finally found them online), I have my doubts. I already had skepticism on the first photo since Tara's family only found out about it on a tabloid tv show. With the other two the photo with only her bares little resemblance to Tara. If you compare it to certain actual photos of Tara maybe but the photo is so grainy its difficult to be 100% sure it Tara. The third photo with her and another man in an Amtrak should be discounted on the spot. Why anyone would consider that photo as anything other than a joke is beyond me.
Believe it or don't, there seems to be a fourth suspected photo in connection to Calico. However, it's seems like it was never pick up by law enforcement, it's rather suggestive and it only seems to surface in online forum so take it with a huge grain of salt. As with her being killed by manslaughter theory, there seems to be conflict in that front. Some sources say she was even rape and stabbed to death and then buried and reburied. So we're going nowhere with this case. I really do think the Polaroid connect seems like a huge distraction in actually finding out what happened to Tara.

That wan my initial suspicion but after the Cayleigh Elise vid on them, I highly doubt it. However I think people surrounding Chivers may be involved.

Steve Sandlin was found dead of a gunshot wound in May of 1988. Originally considered a suicide or accident, it was later ruled a homicide. UM aired this case in 1990. From the UM wiki. Real Name: Stephen Alton Sandlin Nicknames: Steve Sandlin Location: Mountainair, New Mexico Date: May 7, 1988 Case- Details: Twenty-one-year old Steve Sandlin was a rookie New Mexico police officer who was found shot in the police station while working alone just eight weeks after joining the force. Several bloodstains were found around his body, and he was pronounced dead soon afterwards. His gun was found by his side, and the bullet that killed Steve came from the gun. Many concluded that Steve either committed suicide or died in a tragic accident, while his family is certain that he was murdered and that his death may have been covered up by the police department. On the afternoon of Steve's death, he returned to the empty police station after arguing with Chief Carson over some tickets that he had written. The last person to talk to Steve before his death was his girlfriend, who claims that at around 7 pm, their conversation was interrupted by an unidentified female who was with Steve. He told his girlfriend that there was nothing to worry about, and he hung up the phone. Less than an hour later, at 7:45 pm, Steve was found dead and Chief Carson assumed that Steve committed suicide or was the victim of an accident. Steve's autopsy results were deemed inconclusive, and several believed that Steve's gun had been at least two feet away from his head when he was shot. Also, the powder residue on Steve's hands were rather insignificant for the hands of someone who had shot themselves with a gun. However, the attorney general refused to rule out suicide, and Steve's family began their own investigation. They believe that he was killed because he knew too much about some illegal activity. Through their investigation, his family uncovered that on April 11, a few weeks before his death, Steve had arrested a drunk driver and found that the man was in the possession of marijuana. When the man's home was searched, investigators found more than fifty-four pounds of marijuana. Steve began receiving several death threats as a result of the arrest, and at around that same time, the Mountainair Police Department was being investigated for mishandling evidence, which greatly upset Steve. Steve was later questioned by a man named James Scarantino who worked for New Mexico's Attorney General's office, who is certain that Steve would not have committed suicide, and was most likely murdered. Shortly after his death, Steve's house was searched by police officers, but when Steve's mother went looking though his kitchen, she found several bags of marijuana. Also, Steve's mother found out that the tapes that Steve had made of every traffic stop were all missing. Several questions remained in Steve's death, including: if Steve was murdered, who was responsible, who planted the marijuana in Steve's house, and were the Mountainair Police Department involved in Steve's death. Those questions remain unanswered and Steve's death remains unsolved. Suspects: The Mountainair police officers were obvious suspects in Steve's death, along with the man that Steve arrested who had marijuana with him. James Scarantino spoke to several witnesses who claimed that they had seen Chief Carson's vehicle parked outside of the Mountain Police Department between 7:15 and 7:25 pm on the night of the shooting. This suggests that Carson may have witnessed or was involved in Steve's death. However, he denies any involvement in the case. He agreed to take a polygraph examination with the FBI and passed. Results: Unresolved. Authorities later learned that five months before Steve was killed, law enforcement received a tip that a police officer was going to be killed by drug dealers. Investigators noted that evidence at the scene suggested that his body had been moved. Scientists determined that Steve was ducking away from his gun when he was shot. Steve's case was later classified as a homicide, but no one has ever been arrested and the case remains unsolved. When questioned by an Army investigator, the soldier who found Steve's body claimed that he would go to jail if he "told the truth." The investigator believed that he was withholding information. Investigators also learned that a police officer from another agency had confessed to killing him. The officer allegedly said that "if he had kept his nose out of things (he'd) be better off. (Sandlin) wouldn't have died." However, it is unknown if police ever followed up on the alleged confession. One of the prime suspects in the case, Melvin King, died in 2004. King was the man whom Steve had arrested a few weeks before his death. Interestingly, the marijuana confiscated from King's home later went missing from the police department's evidence room. King was never prosecuted. Thoughts? If the corrupt cop angle is disproved, then someone involved in the drug busts was responsible.

Why thank you for the response. Far be it for me to hurl insults at you for politically disagreeing with me, I too get annoyed when I see the more cultish elements of the pro-Trump crowd, Magapedes I usually call them. It's the type of behavior that made me turn away from the democrats in the Obama years, especially among the Black community, full disclosure, I'm black myself. Unlike other conservatives during those years, I didn't see Obama as the antichrist on the other hand I saw the hype about him overblown. Though understandable, given the Bush years were downright horrible. Another thing, even though I support Trump (conditionally) and I'm no fan of the democrats, I'm not totally thrilled with the republicans either.
In overall politics, I consider myself a traditionalist conservative and nationalist. I call myself a "live and let live social conservative" and more of a fiscal moderate and economic nationalist and a realist/non-interventionist in foreign policy. Which is why I support Trump on his policies and not necessarily the man himself. Even before I took politics seriously, I used to view Trump as somewhat of a buffoonish character. But by the time he ran, I felt that he, along with Rand Paul, Jim Webb and somewhat Bernie Sanders as the only politicians running that have a serious grasp on the country's problems and have solutions to fix it.
Maybe Trump is conning me. I'm open to the possibility. I'll be disheartened but really not surprised since he'll be joining every other politician in the last 6 decades to promise one thing yet not deliver or gave worse. Which why me and so many others are frustrated with the current political system. I understand that the extremes on both ends are not desirable and the political center is more sought after. But many have to realize that difficult even controversial yet necessary decisions must be made to ensure the continued health and prosperity of the nation so that few would need to use the extremes. For far too long politicians have kicked the can, ignored the can or crapped on the can to address serious concerns the country faced to their peril. This is at the core on why I believe Trump won. Not because a foreign country duped a bunch of "racists" into stealing an election for him. But enough people came to the realization that "he may be a dipstick, but a dipstick who seem to get it".

Hello all. I take deep interest in politics but like to separate my interest in that from true crime and I have debated myself on rather to engage here since I genuinely like this forum and don't like to sour relationships. Ultimately, I am not a man who hides my opinions, however controversial if I don't have to.
So yeah, I support Trump and I have voted for him and believe he is one of the few politicians who has an actual grasp on our nations actual problems. It is not to say that I don't disagree Trump many of his policies or that he can improve on his presentation. But that all moot considering that the politicians who came before him who had the "correct" policies and where more "presidential" have utterly failed this country.
I'm a bit disheartened by many here in the thread. Regardless, I hope to engage with you guys in a civil manner and wish to work with you guys on the sites main purpose.

It appears that the case has been updated according to my research, but take it for what it's worth if more needs to be known. "In 2018, the LAPD cleared Matthew’s case. A member of Matthew’s family said that they feel confident that Matthew’s killer was David “Bear” Meza, who died the day after Matthew disappeared. Although there is still the possibility that Meza had accomplices, the family is grateful for some closure." www.facebook.com/groups/375856862809034/permalink/490995837961802/
