Tara Leigh Calico disappeared near her home in Belen, New Mexico, on September 20, 1988.  In July 1989, a Polaroid photo of an unidentified young woman and boy, gagged and seemingly bound, was televised to the public after it was found in a convenience store parking lot in Port St. Joe, Florida. The case received extensive coverage on  programs such as A Current Affair, Unsolved Mysteries, and America's Most Wanted. It was also profiled on The Oprah Winfrey Show and 48 Hours.
As of 10/12/ 2022, no arrests have been made and the case remains open.

True crime

He appeared at her church. He was “funny, romantic, the most sensitive man I’ve ever met,” Wainscott said. “The guy that every girl would want.” Soon they were dating and eating dinner at Red Lobster and watching movies. He would bring toys for her kids. “Very engaging. Down to earth. Nice fellow,” their pastor said. But when a police officer approached her with a photograph she said “That’s John" (her presumed perfect man).
Except he wasn’t. He was Jeffrey Manchester, an escaped convict who had been living for the last six months inside a nearby Toys R Us and Circuit City. But now he was on the run, and detectives needed her help!

#241The Roofman: Jeffrey Allen Manchester

In the 1970s, Roch Theriault convinced a small group of people to abandon their lives and possessions and go with him to an isolated community in rural Quebec. After attaining absolute control over his followers, Theriault dictated every part of the Ant Hill Kids' existence, including their clothing, diet, thoughts, communication… and probably most disturbingly, their medical treatments... Which were administered by Teareo himself…
The cruelness of Roch’s teachings extended even to the children of the cult. They suffered beatings, starvation, and relentless labor, while adults took the brunt of - but not ALL of - his sexual abuses.

#240 The Ant Hill Kids

O.J. Simpson was a former NFL football player and convicted armed robber and kidnapper known for being acquitted of the murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman.
In this second and final part of our Oj Simpson saga, we talk the trial(s), books, talk show appearances, confessions and the strange legacy left behind by OJ Simpson.
 
Original song lyrics:
 
Welcome everyone to part two
Here’s my song about the juice
Orenthal James of all names
That’s what it read on his lawsuits
 
Back in his prime he was pretty fast
Out in buffalo kicking ass
But when his hay day was done 
Oj stayed on the run
 
Chorus: 
He rides a bronco
Keeps a steady pace
Out on the highways 
The lawmen give chase
He’s desperate now
Gun trembling in his hand
All strung out
Spinnin' every lie he can
 
If he did it here’s what he’d do
He’d write a book and explain it all to you
How can he make you understand?
He’s not the killing kind of man
 
But now the juice has run out
What’s TMZ gonna talk about?
Whether he’s down below or up in glory
I can see him and Johnny swapping stories
