SEARCH TO BE CONDUCTED THIS SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2011:
Volunteers are needed for a community search this Saturday, more than two weeks after 19-year-old Hartford, CT resident, Angel Garcia disappeared.
Following a meeting with Garcia's family this week, Hartford Mayor Pedro E. Segarra and Police Chief Daryl K. Roberts announced their intentions to organize a search party as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Angel.
"Volunteers are being asked to gather at the Tower Avenue entrance to Keney Park by 9:30 a.m. on Saturday," Segarra said. "While I know we, as a community, continue to grapple with the loss of power resulting from the recent storm, I hope individuals can find a way to contribute some of their valuable time to join Angel's family and friends to assist in this search."
Angel Garcia, 19, is missing. He was last seen on October 21, 2011 in the area of Newfield and New Britain avenues on his way to East Hartford, CT. Police said he was riding a red Honda 85 cc dirt bike with a large yellow "Geico" logo on the sides while wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers with a red design.
Angel is known to ride the trails along the eastern border of the Connecticut River in East Hartford.
He is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 5-feet, 8-inches tall who weighs about 180 pounds.
