Yalitza Garcia was last seen July 2, 2009, in Deerfield Beach, Florida. She was 24 and working at a Metro PCS store. When she failed to report to work on July 5, coworkers checked her apartment on Mermaid Drive and spoke with her live-in boyfriend, Jason Allen, who said she was not home. All of Garcia’s personal belongings were still in the apartment.

Investigators later found substantial blood evidence in the apartment and signs of a violent struggle. Friends and neighbors described a turbulent relationship that had recently worsened after Garcia decided to move out. Jason Allen was arrested in May 2010 and charged with first-degree murder, but Garcia’s body has never been recovered and the case remains unresolved.

Did anyone who knew Yalitza or lived near Mermaid Drive in 2009 notice anything unusual in the days after July 2?
