PRESS RELEASE:
FAMILY OF MISSING MAN WORKING WITH NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION OUT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
The family of missing Angel Garcia is now working with the nonprofit organization, LostNMissing Inc., to aid them in their search for their son, Angel Garcia.
Angel Garcia went missing on October 21, 2011 while out riding his red Honda dirt bike. Garcia loves riding the homemade trails in Hartford, CT along the eastern border and this was a common hobby. However, all changed on that Friday when Garcia went riding with a friend and it was reported that they somehow became separated and Angel did not make it home. There has not been any activity on his bank records, cell phone and no contact made to his parents, family or friends. This is very concerning as Angel is especially close with his mom and dad whom he spoke with often when away from home.
Searches have been conducted and an ongoing investigation is taking place. LostNMissing Inc will be organizing a "Shining Hope" event to be scheduled on August 26, 2012 in which they will call upon volunteers from the community to help hang missing posters and release balloons of hope for Angel. In October the group is planning a one-year community event to further aid in awareness, if he has not been located by that time. The group has rolled out a website at
www.missingangelgarcia.com and will have continued updates. Information regarding a reward can be found at the website, as well.
The Hartford Police ask that If anyone has information, no matter how insignificant it may seem, please contact the Hartford Police - Detectives Division at (860) 757-4236, or 860-757- 4242. You may request that your tip be anonymous.
