11Alive previously spoke with Garcia’s family, when the Hispanic Alliance Georgia called for fairness outside the Gwinnett Justice and Administration Center over three recent cases of missing young Hispanic people including Garcia, Susana Morales and Rodrigo Floriana Mayen.
The 25-year-old’s sister Zaira Garcia had said she felt police had not done enough in the beginning stages to help find Selena.
“They treated it as if she just needed some time alone. She might have just needed a mental break. And I don’t think someone that needs a mental break is going to be gone for this amount of time,” she said.
Garcia is approximately 5 feet, 4 inches tall, weighs 160 pounds, has brown eyes and straight brown hair with multiple tattoos – including a dark green marijuana plant on top of her hand, the number “503” across her fingers on her right hand, and “Maria” on the outside of her wrist.
