Filmmaker, family begin new look at New Mexico cold case

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Nearly three decades since a 19-year-old woman disappeared from her small New Mexico town, the family with the help of a former friend and filmmaker are still searching for answers. KRQE-TV reported (http://bit.ly/2fq5vdd ) last week that filmmaker Melinda Esquibel began a new investigation into the disappearance of Tara Calico whose case has remained unsolved since she went missing from Belen in September 1988. Esquibel with help from Calico's family began a documentary film project examining the vanishing of her high school friend, but that examination became an investigation after finding the case files in disorder. She also began releasing what they have learned in a podcast. Eaquibel says progress has been made on the case, and they're sharing the information they gather with law enforcement agencies. ___ Information from: KRQE-TV, http://www.krqe.com
