i moved to florida and came down here to hunt and fish and play golf and go boating and go to the beach and just relax. that lasted a couple of months and i got very bored. three bored ex-detectives put on badges to form the sheriffs first official cold case unit and decided early on they would work on tara s case. prosecutor feinberg was finally optimistic. sort of. i felt this was a case that could be solved if it had a new set of eyes. somebody that could put the case together and connect all of the dots. what requests did you make of them? we wanted to know more about every piece of evidence. we had to rule out every piece of dna in that house. it was closing doors and excluding other people. we are going to learn from the files
that s what these three did. as a large photo of tara kept watch. there was no dna to help them. all they had were lingering suspicions about the work men who went to tara s house the day she vanished. the guy who owned the septic tank and his helper that day and their buddy, pee wee. nothing in this trove of investigative material proved anything. kirk, he organized it in such a way it was easier to understand. what had been difficult to understand?fusioning to the point that we didn t know we would get into court. we had to try to do the analysis and that s what took so long. an awful lot of detective work amounts to reading thousands of pages of reports and witness statements and this and that were followed up, every one of them. the detective chased down a
after tara vanished, barr and mcmahonis were going on trial for her murder. what happened inside that house? a jury finally hears the story. coming up we believe she confronted him. a mother s pierce veerns brought it this far. she fought and fought and fought. when the knock at the door continues. fought when the knock at the door continues. but super poligrip gives him a tight seal. to help block out food particles. so he can enjoy the game. super poligrip.
they learned tara s last phone call began at 11:49 and ended at 12:05. she talked to a colleague at the mall jewelry kiosk where she work and she said she would be by to pick up her paycheck and go shopping. their landlord arranged for a septic repair company and maybe the owner knew something. one of the criminal investigation sergeants on the way into work stopped by this guy s house and asked him had he been to tara s home and he said yes and he said he had contact with a female there. and he said she was perfectly fine when he left the house. assuming that was true, who else came to that little house on the afternoon of october 1st and took away their tara? a methodical police investigation was now under way, but could they bring tara home
terrified. i was figuring out where she was. keith and sharon called everyone they knew in town. their best friends offered moral support and came to the house and one of them noticed anything on the floor. we said oh, my god. she was bending over pulling it out of the carpet. it was embedded in the carpet. it wasn t just laying there. she pulled it out and said sharon, isn t this one of her earrings? she said yeah. so then? then eventually we found another one and and then the third. ground into the carpet? we had to pull them out. they noticed a small palm tree in their yard had been damaged along with the decorative bricks around it. tire tracks across the lawn. hour close it was to the house? it wasn t a big yard, but they went up to the door.
