Her NamUs page is down at the moment.

So glad to see this. Hopefully news soon.

Her NamUs page is down at the moment.

It was still up this morning, I only know because I checked my tracked cases that have been recently modified. She didn't have any additional rule outs listed this morning, but I am hoping they finally identified her.
I just went back thru my emails because I know I submitted a possible match in Sept 2023. (I submitted Stephanie Howard - Her NamUs case is still up) LE never responded to my email.

Yes, it was removed a couple of hours ago. Hoping for an announcement soon.

I am glad that she is identified, but her sketch artist picture doesn't look anything like her. After two decades, Christmas Jane Doe (2003) is Identified

Not surprising. I hope they find him.

…..At the time of her disappearance, Holly was married to Miguel Angel Garcia-Rivera. Investigators are currently searching for Miguel Angel Garcia-Rivera.

Rest in peace, Holly Garcia.

I don't think that sketch is too far off.

I was in Christmas, FL last month hiking. Very rural still. I stayed on the east side of Orlando, right at the UCF campus. Maybe a 15 minute drive to where she was found.

Her marriage record suggests she was Native American, not white as previously thought, though I'm not sure how reliable the record is.

A search of Orange County Clerk of Court returns a Holly Rose Leavines Garcia and a Holly Rose Garcia with drug charges and striking a police officer in 2001. There is also a guardian/ward case for her, but it is private. There are 10 pages for Miguel Angel Garcia-Rivera. Without knowing his birthdate, I couldn't identify which one he is.

Yes! The husband sounds like an excellent place to start searching.

So glad Holly has her name back. May she rest in peace.

She lived at Hollowbrook Apartments in 2003 on Curry Ford Road. Immediately I see that this is within walking distance to the ABC Liquor store, which at that time, I believe, was still a disco and the only place you could go dancing on the east side of town.

Are they one in the same?

Not to be disrespectful but wondering if the ME will be able to determine if Holly ever had children? The dental info also sounds promising. It might help with a timeline as braces are usually worn for at least a year and need to be maintained.

Is this a photo of Holly, Miguel and their baby?

No, Holly and her baby. Not sure who the older guy is. Either her dad or maybe his dad.
