Where is Arelie Garcia?
Hello everyone!
Today I would like to highlight a local unresolved mystery, as today is the 1 year anniversary of the disappearance.
On Sept 22, 2022 Arelie Garcia (25) texted her sister around 6:30 am from her apartment complex in Salinas, CA. She said she was heading to work at a local car dealership. She never arrived and that was the last time anyone heard from her.
Her family became concerned and her sisters used the “find my iPhone” to locate her car pulled to the side of the road (Highway 1) in Big Sur, CA (note: I don’t know exactly how far down the coast she was but Salinas to Big Sur is ~47 miles). Her abandoned vehicle contained her phone, keys, and purse.
Despite a search with the Monterey County sheriff’s office which included drones, helicopters, and search parties, Arelie has not been found, nor are there any leads to her disappearance.
The family has expressed disappointment in the lack of response from local police, as they were the ones who had to find her car and they were the ones who pushed for search efforts.
There’s a $10,000 reward for anyone who can give information that will help find this young woman.
