Can we have an authoritative reference that Michael Henley's ashes were found in the Zuni mountains? That is an important detail. I know that it is mentioned in the Fox News article at citation 1, but this article has been saying this since 2007 and the Fox News article is from 2009. It doesn't seem beyond belief that Fox News took that story off Wikipedia. I think that this needs something more reliable than that, as this is an important part of the story and it seems unlikely that such a story would not have attracted more widespread attention.

The article devotes an entire section to the infamous Polaroid picture that may be of Tara Calico. It's a well-known part of the case, so why does it not appear in the article? Is it too disturbing? Mirror of the image: http://i.imgur.com/F209YKZ.jpg Is it somehow under copyright? The identity of the photographer is unknown (or else they would be arrested), but I'm not sure how evidence laws work with copyright laws. Corax rarus ( talk) 05:38, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
What authority said Michael Henley was the guy in the polaroid?-- Youdownup ( talk) 16:02, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
I've just copyedited this article per a request at WP:GOCE/R. A couple of broad comments:

Why are you quoting the length of her absence? It is not significant, and can be worked out easily from the other info in the box. Valetude ( talk) 12:13, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
From the introduction:
“...a Polaroid photo of an unidentified young woman and boy, both bound and gagged,”
Would anyone object if I inserted “seemingly” before “…both bound and gagged” in the introduction section? This would be in accordance with the verbiage in a lower section. No actual bonds can be seen and this picture might well have been a joke photo staged by kids (my hypothesis) and afterwards deliberately left in the parking lot by way of mischievousness. Indeed, looking at the position of the teenage girl’s forearms makes it seems unlikely that her wrists could have been crossed to have been bound. (The young boy does a better job of pretending in that respect suggesting a dismissive attitude by the older sibling who was placating her dorky kid brother, who took the photo, while she might have been babysitting him and the younger boy. The book lying neatly and casually on the bed beside the girl suggests that she had been reading when her brother came up with this brainstorm using their absent parent(s)' camera.) If this hypothesis is correct, had they later become aware that the photo gained some fame as an indication of a possible criminal case, it is highly unlikely that they would have come forward to acknowledge having taken the photo for fear of repercussions; i.e. of getting into trouble. This is a resort town and it is highly likely their family were tourists and therefore not from the area to have been recognized by local people. My guess is that the “photographer” was another kid, perhaps a middle child, probably an adolescent boy. It also seems unlikely that kidnappers (of whatever motive) would have been so careless with such a photo. HistoryBuff14 ( talk) 23:29, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
