Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP73806) and 8 other sources
Ariel Fonseca Garcia, a 49-year-old man, went missing from Houston, Texas, on August 13, 2020. He was last seen near West Road and Airline Drive, driving a dark gray 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer. At the time of his disappearance, he was possibly wearing a fluorescent-colored work safety vest, safety shoes, and work pants. Garcia was experiencing serious medical issues related to his diabetes shortly before he vanished, which adds to concerns about his well-being.

Despite ongoing efforts by Texas EquuSearch and law enforcement, very few details have surfaced regarding Garcia's whereabouts since he disappeared. His vehicle has not been located, and no substantial leads have come forward. Investigators and his family remain hopeful that public attention might bring forth information that could help solve the case. Garcia’s disappearance remains classified as an endangered missing person case, with authorities urging anyone with information to contact the Houston Police Department.
