On the morning of Wednesday, June 6, 1979, Tara’s mother, Pat, asked her to run an errand for her. Pat gave her daughter some money. He instructed her to purchase a bag of sugar from the nearby convenience store, Pirelli’s Liquors. Tara left home to walk the short distance to the Montalvin Shopping Center.

Tara bought a bag of sugar around 10:30 AM. The clerk watched as she left the shopping centre. This is the last sighting of Tara Cossey. The witness later reported seeing her in the Montalvin Shopping Centre.

Tara’s family contacted San Pablo Sheriff’s deputies in the afternoon when she did not return home. Officers investigated several people in the Montalvin Manor neighbourhood. The clerk at Pirelli’s Liquors confirmed the description of Tara. Unfortunately, all the leads proved fruitless, and no evidence has been found.

On Thursday, June 7, detectives used bloodhounds to trace the area near the Montalvin Shopping Centre. Police followed up on the leads but ultimately remained unsuccessful in tracing her. Her family said Tara didn’t have a history of running away and never talked to strangers. Few details are available about her disappearance and life before she went missing.
