In October 2001, vibrant 19-year-old Tara Sidarovich was waiting at her family's Punta Gorda, Florida home for a septic company to arrive for a service call. She was never seen alive again.

When Tara’s skeletal remains were found 9 months later in a remote wooded area, the community was shattered, and the hunt for her killers began. What followed was a grueling investigation that spanned more than a decade before a dedicated cold case unit finally brought Tara's killers to justice.

But with this case comes a chilling, behind-the-scenes twist...one that shook the Cold Case Files camera crew to their cores. Join us as we peel back the layers of Tara’s story and shed light on the importance of cold case units.
