Updated Thursday, Jan 26 at 12:19 PM When Monica Sanchez dropped her daughter off at the Eternal Rock Church in San Marcos on January 15, all seemed to be going according to plan.
Little two-year-old Sarahi Garcia was placed in the care of her father...for a visit. But, what Sanchez didn't foresee was the phone call she received from her ex-husband three days later.
Sanchez says in that call, 35-year-old Amrando Munoz Garcia, told her he was in Mexico, and so was their daughter. But, the most frightening thing was that Garcia allegedly told Sanchez he would not be returning Sarahi to San Marcos.
According to Sanchez, the Caldwell County child custody order prohibits taking Sarahi out of Texas.
Now San Marcos police are working fast to locate the missing girl. They are questioning family members, friends and co-workers in their search for Garcia.
They have also contacted the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children and notified border patrol agents at the location where Garcia is believed to have crossed into Mexico in the past.
Authorities could use your help, too.
If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Sarahi Garcia or Amando Munoz Garcia, you are asked to contact the San Marcos Police Department at 512-753-2103, or
pdunn@sanmarcostx.gov.
