In this bonus episode, Sara and Andrea sit down to revisit the first two cases from Season 2 of SEQUESTERED: the disappearances of Tonetta Carlisle and Brandy Hall.

With fresh eyes and honest questions, they unpack what still doesn’t sit right—from the mysterious witnesses in Tonetta’s case to the conflicting theories around Brandy’s final hours. Why did key players lie? What evidence might still be waiting in an old file or forgotten bag? And who, after all these years, still knows something but hasn’t come forward?

This is a deeper dive into what haunts us, what’s missing, and why these open cases still matter. Send us your thoughts at sequesteredpod@gmail.com

EPISODE 05: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TARA CALICO

Nearly a year after Tara Calico vanished, a Polaroid photo surfaced in a Florida parking lot—showing a bound and gagged teenage girl who looked hauntingly like her. The image launched a nationwide media frenzy, reignited public interest, and deepened the mystery surrounding one of New Mexico’s most infamous cold cases.

In Part 2, we follow the leads: the man in the van, the sealed search warrants, and the theories that stretch from small-town secrets to federal investigations. We hear from Tara’s mother, Patty, who carried that photo in her purse for years, believing it was proof her daughter might still be alive.

Thirty-five years later, new evidence may finally be pushing this case toward the truth.
Because someone still knows what happened on that desert highway.

EPISODE 04: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TARA CALICO

On a bright September morning in 1988, 19-year-old Tara Calico left her home in Rio Communities, New Mexico, for her usual bike ride—and never came back. Hours later, fragments of her Walkman and a cassette tape were found scattered near the road. Witnesses reported a suspicious white pickup truck trailing her. But no body. No bike. No arrests.

In Part 1 of this gripping two-part case, we take you back to that morning: Tara’s final known moments, the chilling eyewitness reports, and the desperate search that swept through her small desert town. What began as a routine ride on Highway 47 became one of the most haunting unsolved disappearances in New Mexico history.

Tara Calico was smart, vibrant, and full of life. This is her story.
And it starts with a pink Huffy bike… and a vanishing.

Was her disappearance an act of revenge, a crime of passion, or something else entirely? Nearly two decades later, Brandy’s case remains unsolved. But one truth still holds: she didn’t just walk away.

EPISODE 02: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF BRANDY HALL

In the sweltering summer of 2006, decorated firefighter Brandy Hall vanished into the Florida night. She left her shift at the Malabar Volunteer Fire Department and dissapeared into the night. The next day, her bloodied truck was pulled from a pond - her gear floating eerily on the surface. But Brandy? Not a trace.

In this gripping two-part episode, we walk through the final hours of Brandy’s life as we know it—her unraveling marriage, a looming courtroom appearance, and a mysterious phone call. As the search begins, what’s uncovered raises more questions than answers.

This is the story of a woman who could fix anything, help anyone, and never hesitated to show up when others needed her most—until the night she needed someone, and no one could find her.

EPISODE 01: THE DISAPPEARANCE OF TONETTA CARLISLE

15-year-old Tonetta Carlisle vanished in broad daylight on a spring afternoon in 1989, just minutes after leaving school in Chattanooga, TN. She was just minutes from her home. Witnesses saw her forced into a car, and despite eyewitness accounts, a solid lead, and decades of searching, Tonetta has never been found.

Tonetta’s case remains unsolved. And her story deserves to be told.

In this episode of SEQUESTERED, we revisit Tonetta’s final known moments, the response from law enforcement, and the painful silence that followed. We examine theories, missed opportunities, and why some voices aren’t heard loudly enough in the world of missing persons.

If you have any information about the abduction of Tonetta Carlisle, please call the Chattanooga Police Department at 423-698-2525 or TBI at 1-800-TBI-FIND.

These cases don’t begin with crime scenes—they begin in the quiet, everyday moments that suddenly turned tragic. Through victim-centric, time-capsule storytelling, SEQUESTERED brings life to stories long buried in silence.
