Jackson Brent Garcia, 18, disappeared from Sumter County, South Carolina on December 26, 2020 after a holiday visit with family on Ithica Drive. That evening he spent time outside with a cousin and a dog; the cousin briefly went back into the house and, on returning, found Brent gone. He was last seen about 7:00 p.m. and is believed to have left on foot. His cell phone and other personal belongings were left at the cousin’s home.

Brent is described as a white male, 5 feet 11 inches, 170 pounds, with brown hair and hazel eyes. He was last seen wearing a dark-colored jacket, light gray sweatpants and black and white sneakers. Distinctive tattoos include a hand with eyes on his right forearm, the word Angel on his right hand and a crown on his left hand. Family say he struggled with severe anxiety and depression and did not have his medication with him.

The mother reported him missing to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office two days later. Searches using aerial support, K9 units and ground patrols followed and several reported sightings were investigated but not confirmed. Investigators say they have not found evidence of foul play and a reward of up to $10,000 has been offered for information.

If anyone knew Brent, saw him on December 26, 2020, or has information about his movements that evening, please come forward with details.
