Breck was groomed by Lewis, but not by stereotypical or traditional standards. Breck’s groomer was only a few years older than him. But the case shows a clear trail of manipulation, conning, and lying, with sexual intent behind the cascade of lies and impersonations, which is akin to grooming. Breck was a young English-born Surrey schoolboy with American parents. He was gifted, brilliant, intelligent, handsome, and had the world at his fingertips.

The Missing Girl and the Polaroid  Tara Calico’s disappearance is an oddity, to say the least. Thirty-five years since the 19-year-old disappeared in New Mexico, a polaroid found in Florida could be the answer to the mystery.  Tara went missing while on a bike ride on the 20th of September 1988. It was the same route on New Mexico State Road that she took every day. The same sunny stretch of road that she had been riding for years.  As Tara left the house, she jokingly told her mother that she should come looking for her if  Tara didn’t return by noon.  At noon, Tara never came home.  No one witnessed the abduction, although several witnesses observed a 1953 Ford pickup with a camper shell following closely behind Tara on her bike.  It seemed like Tara was abducted in broad daylight and nobody was even around to see it…  When Tara did not return home, Tara’s mother promptly notified the police and the local community began campaigning and searchin...
