The person at the center of this case
Sammy O'neal Garcia
Justice for Sammy O'neal Garcia — the trail went cold in 2025, but the truth hasn't.
Start here
What happened to Sammy's vehicle between May 1st and its repossession in June? Was it parked at the motel the entire time?
Why was Sammy staying at a Motel 6 in Terrell rather than a hotel closer to his vacation destination?
The ATM withdrawal occurred around the same time as vehicle repossession—was this the last confirmed sighting or activity?
Sammy O'neal Garcia, a 33-year-old man from Baxter, Tennessee, drove to Texas for a vacation in May 2025 and has not been heard from since. His vehicle was repossessed from a Motel 6 in Terrell in June 2025, and he was last recorded withdrawing cash from an ATM at a Quick Trip gas station around the same time. Despite months passing with no contact, the circumstances of his disappearance remain unclear and warrant continued investigation.
