GUILTY CA - Christie Wilson, 27, murdered, Roseville, 5 Oct 2005 *found in 2020*

[gardenmom]

I drove the highway from Roseville to past Auburn today and I was looking on the side of the road for Christie. There are just so many places he could have pulled up to and tossed her out of the car. She could have just rolled down an embankment, and won't be found unless they do foot searches all along there. That's if he dumped her close. I had a very uneasy feeling, especially around Penryn Rd. Niner will know where I'm talking about. I hope he talks, or told someone.

Edited to add: I should have said I wasn't specifically out looking for Christie today, but drove past there on my way to somewhere else. I just looked hoping I would see something. Probably has been done many times before now.

Here is one reason why crime is so darn rampent in the USA. We can thank the judges, prosecutors and everyone else who has a say so in the way charges are determined:
.........................................................................................................

According to this News 13 Report (w/video), Mario Garcia jumped a woman as she was entering her car 20 years ago in Fremont. He choked her, and forced her to drive to his van, which he then used to drive her into the hills and rape her. He then drove her back to an apartment, made her take a bath - and then raped her again. He then threatened her with a gun, putting it in her mouth and pulling the trigger on an empty chamber - before taking her back to her car and letting her go.

He was charged with 5 counts related to that, but eventually plead to lesser charges - but no sexual related charges apparently.

It would seem that this time Mario Garcia wanted to be sure his next parking lot mugging and rape victim wouldn't be around to talk...
........................................................................................................

They allowed him to plead to lesser charges but no sexual related charges :banghead: He raped that woman TWICE....held a gun to her head...kidnapped her....the article doesn't say how long his sentence was...probably a day in jail and the promise never to do it again :furious:

I wonder how the woman in that case felt when she found out what his charges were :banghead: It is just sickening.

I heard last night on Nancy Grace that he did not serve ANY time for the crime 20 years ago. He was sentenced to probation only. Obviously Christie Wilson's parents were upset about this information.

Sheriff's Lt. George Malim said after the hearing that forensics experts for the state are analyzing other trace evidence from Garcia's car and home, including fibers, possible skin cells and another hair.

Hey gardenmom! Yes, I know 'where' you are talking about! I was planning on actually driving from Auburn on 193 towards Lincoln... That's the way I believe he might have driven home, as it's through the rural countryside and he could have stopped ANYWHERE along that route!
I'm wondering if he actually brought her home, as his wife is not talking either now and has her own lawyer - do ya think??

 

[Niner]

Was reading my local paper (The Auburn Journal) last night and noticed something in the article that I don't believe has been shared before by police.

Garcia reportedly had a black eye, which is not evident in his booking photo. He also reportedly had bite marks, but Lt. George Malim, spokesman for the Placer Cnty Sheriff's Dept, would not confirm nor deny the information.

Oh - I HOPE they took pictures of these bite marks!! :dance:

I see that a preliminary hearing is expected to begin November 1st... hmmm... anyone want me to go and take notes - or should I wait until the trial?? IF this court appearance is in the Auburn courthouse....

Niner, if you can make it, I say go for it. I'm sure we all would appreciate the first hand news.

Mario Garcia was charged with suspicion of murder of Christie Wilson Friday morning.

Mario F. Garcia, 53, was charged with suspicion of murder Friday morning in connection with the disappearance of 27-year-old Christie Wilson, according to his attorney.

"I can only assume the evidence exceeds beyond a reasonable doubt in order to have a charge of murder," said Garcia's attorney Ron Peters. "They better have a case that's ironclad."

Prosecutors have said DNA evidence links Garcia, who remains in custody at the Placer County Jail on $1 million bail for weapons charges, to Wilson's disappearance.

Wilson, of Sacramento, was last seen on video surveillance tapes leaving the Thunder Valley Casino in Lincoln around 1 a.m. Oct. 5 with Garcia. She hasn't been heard from since. Although after extensive searches no body has been located, investigators say they are certain Wilson was killed.

Officials declared the case a homicide earlier this week and named Garcia as the prime suspect.

"A case like this should not be filed unless the evidence is well beyond the reasonable doubt and irrefutable," Peters said.

DNA results confirm that a hair taken from Garcia's white Toyota Camry belonged to Wilson, said Lt. George Malim, spokesman for the Placer County Sheriff's Department.

Additionally, trace evidence from Garcia's trunk has been sent to the Department of Justice crime lab in Sacramento and another hair that could belong to Wilson was located in the Garcia home.

Results are expected to be returned to the Placer County Sheriff's Department soon.

Pat Boyd, Wilson's stepfather and a San Jose detective, has said there is evidence that the missing woman was in Garcia's car.

Garcia was arrested Oct. 14 on weapons charges. Garcia is scheduled to return to court Oct. 31 for a trial confirming conference. A preliminary hearing is expected to begin Nov. 1 on the weapons charges, however all that could change in light of the new murder charge.

Oh, how sad, I knew she was probably dead, but I was hoping they would find her. Let's hope he tells LE where she is so her parents can put her to rest.

Malim said the arrest was also based on other evidence that had been processed at the state crime lab.

On Nancy Grace.... Nancy said that the woman in the parking lot 20 yrs ago was a girlfriend of Garcia's. Nancy had that wrong. According to the article that I posted above...he came upon the woman in the parking lot.

It is unbelievable that all he got was probation for that incident. He raped that woman twice, etc, etc. What in the heck is wrong with Prosecutors anyway? No wonder people are starting to take the law into their own hands.
Nothing has changed in the last 20 years! When are lawmakers going to get their heads out of their butts????

The lawmakers need to toughen up the laws and then the Prosecutors and judges need to use those laws on these violent sex offenders.

My family and I have been involved with the justice system...the murder of my daughter and the molestation of my 9 yr. old grandaughter. In both cases
Pros and the Department of Corrections got together and the criminals got a "deal" which never should have happened. It is just total bull chit. :banghead:

My respect for "Lady Justice" is about zilch....due to my experience with it.

Sources close to the investigation said interviews with witnesses indicate a connection between Wilson and Garcia, including indications that Wilson borrowed a sum of money from Garcia the night she disappeared.

The Placer County Sheriff's Department, which has not found her body, reported that forensics evidence taken from searches of Garcia's car and home was strong enough to make the arrest.

Lt. George Malim declined to say what new evidence was found, saying the evidence is being "saved" for a possible trial. "We're confident, based on the physical evidence that we have, that Mr. Garcia murdered her," said Malim.

The lieutenant said proving murder without a body can be difficult for prosecutors, but "with physical evidence and with witnesses, you can make a good case."

Mario Flavio Garcia, the Auburn man suspected in the disappearance of 27-year-old Christie Wilson of Sacramento, was arrested Friday on suspicion of murdering her.

"We're confident, based on the physical evidence that we have, that Mr. Garcia murdered her," said Malim.

Ron Peters and David Dratman, attorneys for Garcia, were upset by Friday's developments.

"Mario Garcia is innocent of murder," the two said in an e-mail to The Bee. "We have not been shown any evidence that Mario is responsible for either the alleged disappearance of Ms. Wilson or her death.

"An accusation of murder is no substitute for evidence. In the absence of a body and in the absence of evidence beyond any reasonable doubt that there has even been a death, this accusation cannot be proved."

More than 80 family, friends and volunteers spent much of the day looking for Christie Wilson, the 27-year-old Sacramento woman last seen more than three weeks ago leaving a Lincoln casino with a man now considered the prime suspect in her disappearance.

On Saturday, searchers concentrated their efforts in portions of Auburn, along Highway 49, and near the home of the suspect, 53-year-old Mario Garcia. On Friday, the Placer County Sheriff's Department arrested Garcia for Wilson's murder. Garcia was already in jail on unrelated weapons charges.
