[Crime Stories with Nancy Grace] Gorgeous Girl 26, Caught on Camera Leaving for Work, DISAPPEARS: WHERE’S ARELIE

Arelie Garcia is the youngest of the six children in her family.

After high school, Garcia trains in Automotive Mechanics Technology at the Center for Employment Training and works at My Chevrolet in Salinas as a service advisor. Co-worker Miguel Alvarez describes Arelie Garcia as the “happy one” of the group.

Garcia maintains a close relationship with her sisters and texts Veronica almost daily. On September 22, Arelie Garcia sends Veronica a message at 6 a.m.,  a simple message of  ‘Good morning, I love you.”

At 6:30 a.m.,  Garcia is seen on surveillance video leaving her apartment and heading for work. She didn’t show up at all. Her sisters begin texting and calling their sister’s phone, getting no response.  Garcia’s sister, Veronica, logs into Find My iPhone and is surprised to see Arelie Garcia’s phone last pinged to a location in Big Sur, about an hour away from Salinas.

Her car is found parked on the side of the road. Locked. Garcia was nowhere to be found. Inside the locked car, they find Arelie.
