The search is on. Still no word but at least something is going on. Beth is there and helping the family. Please pray for a resolve.
 
One witness said s/he saw her car leave her carport Sunday morning. Could Tara have been abducted when she picked up someone on her way to church? This sounds possible because she nearly always went to church and because the house door was locked. It also makes sense about other clothes on top of her Saturday night outfit. She may have been looking for clothes to wear to church on Sunday. There also was no evidence of a struggle inside the house.

I feel as if I am missing something in this case. This case has a handle but I am just not seeing it yet. Let me take a little bit of time here to muse out loud.

Ok she did not step into the twilight zone. She never switched on the light when she got home so she was already in distress and wanted the neighbors to know. How could she already be in distress when she got inside the home?

Wait, How do I know she got home? Did anyone see her go inside her home? I need to reread some things. Her car came home but who drove it home?

Also:
When I first heard of this case with the clock time being off I wondered if it had been unplugged, possibly someone hiding under the bed had unplugged it accidently or something and then later had plugged it in again. But now I also wonder if the breaker switch on the breaker box had been switched off to ensure that she was unable to switch on a light. Maybe L.E. need to dust the breaker box switches too.

If she did indeed make it home with her car (as opposed to someone else driving her car home after having already killed her) then perhaps the lights would not turn on because someone already in the house had turned off the breaker. She might have been taken unawares in the dark before having a chance to struggle and hence the necklace left behind unseen because the killer did not see it fall in the dark and later missed it when the power was turned on again - just as the L.E. later missed it in daylight?

Now then . . hmmm how was the getaway made? If he had a car parked in front of her house wouldn't she have seen it and failed to enter her home?
This means either he had his car hidden elsewhere but not too far away or that she recognized the car as belonging to someone she trusted.

The mom (or was it grandmother - cant remember) stated on TV tonight that Tara was "just friends" with the cop that is a family friend but she didn't sound too terribly certain of it. I can just imagine a cop car at her house when she gets home and him out front saying "We think your home was broken into again. Let's go in and see if anything is missing." and he would have on evidence gloves to avoid contaminating the scene,or so he would say. Inside it would be dark because he had already flipped off the breaker.
And then as she gets in far enough he closes the door and . . . . then what? . . . hmmm he would need to quickly subdue her with no blood and little if any struggle. . . .quick side to side neck snap? or taser? head lock? hit on the head with gun? So he misses the necklace because he didnt see it fall when she fell against him and outside he loses one of the gloves outside because its dark and he didnt see it drop either. He flips on the breaker just before leaving.

Ok time to rewind a bit: Maybe someone other than the cop was waiting for her. But then I have to ask:Someone that had tried before to get in her home or one of his acquaintances? Or perhaps Ex bf or lover had hired someone to do the deed? I wonder if he thought to wear the gloves when flipping the breaker- if that is what happened.

I know. I know. This is all speculation for now and rambling at that. I will ponder this awhile longer. Hopefully I will someday have something better to offer regarding this case.

Was her boyfriend the cop, quite a bit taller than her?

What time did he stop calling her?

sounds like they have quite a bit of evidence.

Did she smash the lamp against his head collecting DNA? an evidence glove that are standard in police cars was found in her yard? With fingerprints inside?

the Seat wasn't in a driving position she would have used...

who's fingerprints were on the wheel, let me guess, residue of the latex glove...

did her old boyfriend or the police officer show evidence of a struggle the next day?
 
did her old boyfriend do everything he could to pin this on the officer?

Where is he now?
 
I read somewhere that the clock was a keepsake and never kept the correct time. The boyfriend issues are much more complicated. All of them had a potential reason for wanting her out of the picture but did any of them harm her? I don't believe this is a runaway for a minute so the other option is foul play. So, who is foul enough to discard her permanently?
 
sounds like they have pretty good evidence already, weren't they able to lift any prints?

I know the neighbor has a key, but who was first on the scene after she was missing?
 
her cop boyfriend called 20 times, why did he stop calling, did she answer?

how far away was he from the house when he was calling, anyone do a triangulation?


did she feel he was a threat, and thought a better alternative was disappearing?

He was a married man who was called a friend. The "real boyfriend" the one she was devastated over was Marcus Harper. Not Dykes.
 
what did she tell her friend that had him so worried he called her 20 times that night?

something like...

If you aren't willing to leave your wife, you'll never see me again...

or,

I'm going over to talk with your wife, I think she should know how we feel about each other...

so there is evidence of her being fiesty natured?

Oh, I think there is evidence of that but to the degree someone abducts and murders her is a whole nother ball game.
