Chris Daniel Garcia, a 33-year-old man from Brownsville, Texas, was last seen on March 7, 2012. On that morning, Chris was driving his black Ford F-150 truck with Texas plates when he crossed the Gateway International Bridge from Brownsville into Mexico. Before crossing, U.S. Customs officers had stopped and interviewed him, examining his vehicle for about 35 minutes before allowing him to proceed into Mexico. After this, Chris Garcia vanished, and no one has heard from him since.

He also had distinguishing physical features, including a defective left hand due to a prior gunshot injury, which left one of his fingers shorter than the others. Despite his family and authorities' efforts, his whereabouts remain unknown, and his case is considered endangered missing.
