    Disclosure: All individuals mentioned in this podcast and investigation are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This bonus episode is a round up of Ishmael Delarosa's statements, explains the confusion between Delarosa and Ray Flores and reveals the search warrant information on Jack Aguayo's property. What I think is interesting is that even though the photo appeared in Florida only two years prior that Anthony Ortega's administration was looking for the "Corpse of Tara Calico." This indicates they new something back in 1991. I am told by individuals of former Sheriff Anthony Ortega's administration that they knew back then what happened to Tara and who committed this crime, but something happened and the investigation was discontinued. I tried to get answers, but former Sheriff Anthony Ortega refused to speak with me or go on the record. #Justice4TaraCalico #TaraCalico #CoverUp #Podcast #Investigation #NewMexico #ValenciaCounty #FindTara To follow us on social media you can find us on Twitter @VanishedPodcast on Facebook @VanishedTheTaraCalicoStory on Instagram @Justice4TaraCalico To view images on this case visit the website at VanishedPod.com or TaraCalico.com under the "Case File" section of the website.

    Ishmael B. Delarosa came across Tara riding her bike on September 20th, 1988. This episode recounts Ishmael's statement to the Valencia County Sheriff's Office on August 23, 1991 almost three years after Tara's disappearance. Its a LONG episode and at times difficult to listen to. It recounts Ishmael's statement WORD FOR WORD. Every um, uh, stutter, repeat of sentences is in here. I didn't want to cut anything out because there are a lot of important details in this statement and I wanted to keep the integrity of his statement. Ish had a mind for details and searched for the person driving the old Ford truck until the day he died. There are photos in the Case File section of the website for listeners to get an idea of where Tara was seen. #TaraCalico #TrueCrime #Crime #Podcast #Investigation #NewMexico #ValenciaCounty This episode is brought to you by #HelloFresh Please follow us on Social Media on Twitter: @vanishedpodcast on FACEBOOK: @vanished The Tara Calico Story and Instagram: @justice4taracalico to keep up to date please visit: VanishedPod.com or TaraCalico.com Copyright Mundo Maravilla 2010
