Ricardo Evangilio Garcia, 56, was last seen in the Bad Axe, Michigan, area on July 18, 2002, after traveling from Hidalgo County, Texas, to work the summer agricultural season. He was described as Hispanic, 5 feet 11 inches, about 175 pounds, with brown hair, brown eyes and a mustache. Garcia’s disappearance is tied to that of Jose Fidencio Felix, another seasonal worker from Hidalgo County.

Witnesses reported a confrontation at the Maple Lane Motels involving Garcia, Felix, two other men and a woman. After the dispute, both men were seen getting into a car with the others and never contacted their families again. Investigators treated the case as a suspected abduction rather than a voluntary departure and developed descriptions of two men last seen with them and tracked several vehicles believed linked to the incident, including a sought 1990 Mercury Marquis with gray primer on the front. No confirmed sighting or route has established where Garcia was taken.

Does anyone who worked the Michigan fields in July 2002 or who knew members of this migrant community have information that could help clarify what happened to Garcia and Felix?
