49-year-old Graciela Garcia was last seen in Hermiston, Oregon on November 8, 2019. She disappeared from the residence that she shared with her husband.
Background of Graciela Garcia
Graciela Garcia was born in Mexico on October 6, 1970. As a young child, she immigrated to the United States with her family, who settled in Oregon.
Garcia attended Umatilla High School and Blue Mountain College during his education.
Together with her ex-husband, Garcia has two sons and two daughters. After seventeen years of marriage, the couple divorced and shared custody of their youngest son.
Garcia was living with her current husband, Cuahotemoc Romero Sanchez, in a house on Hurlburt Avenue in Hermiston, Oregon, at the time of her disappearance.
Careyes Beauty Salon was Garcia’s business, which she ran out of her home. She frequently attended hair shows for her profession as a hairstylist.
Details of Disappearance
On November 8, 2019, Graciela Garcia planned to deliver food to her 14-year-old son, who was staying with his father.
However, Garcia did not arrive, and her husband delivered the food, telling the boy that his mother had gone to bed.
The son of Garcia noticed two missed calls and a text message from his mother at approximately 7:00 p.m. He attempted to call her back, but her phone went directly to voicemail.
Concerned, Garcia’s son alerted his older siblings, who then searched their mother’s residence. Graciela Garcia’s vehicle was discovered parked in front of her residence, and everything inside appeared to be in order, but she was nowhere to be found.
Graciela Garcia never returned home and has not been seen or heard from since she left. She missed several appointments the following day at her beauty salon.
When they were unable to reach her on November 11, 2019, one of her daughters filed a missing person’s report with the Hermiston Police Department.
Investigation of Case
Graciela Garcia left most of her belongings at home, including her purse, clothes, makeup, and vehicle. She vanished with her identification, passport, and cell phone.
On November 9, 2019, around 12:30 a.m., Garcia’s cell phone sent its final signal to a cell tower in Washington before being disconnected. Her phone log, bank account, and social media accounts have been inactive since she vanished.
Authorities questioned her current husband, Cuahotemoc Romero Sanchez, who stated that Garcia had left town, leaving her car and all of her belongings behind.
