Alfredo Luis Garcia, 57, was reported missing by his wife Joyce Marie Garcia on May 2, 2023, a report that led deputies to a remote Forest Service road near Bradfield Bridge in Dolores County. Deputies found Alfredo alive but suffering two gunshot wounds to the head; he was airlifted to a Lakewood hospital and died several days later. The couple’s dog was also found at the scene, fatally shot.

Investigation by the Montezuma and Dolores County Sheriff’s Offices and the Colorado Bureau of Investigation focused on Joyce Garcia. She was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; she pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 25 years after telling the court she had committed a mercy killing because of her husband’s declining health, a claim the judge rejected as showing she was a danger to society.

Is there anyone who knew the Garcias or their routines near Cahone who can add details about that day?
