Esteban Garcia, a 56-year-old man from Houston, Texas, was last seen on September 24, 1995. He was living in an apartment complex on Carl Avenue and had fallen asleep at a friend's apartment within the same complex. When the friend woke up, Garcia was gone, and he has not been heard from since. At the time of his disappearance, Garcia was wearing a western-style shirt, blue jeans, and boots. He is described as 5'10" tall, weighing approximately 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Notably, he wore dentures with gold caps on the front teeth.

The circumstances of Garcia's disappearance remain unclear, and despite efforts by authorities, no significant leads have emerged. His case is classified as endangered missing, and the Houston Police Department continues to seek any information that may help resolve the case. Investigators remain hopeful that new information could lead to a breakthrough after all these years.
