Case Description

Any updates on this case? Let us know!
Jose Garcia, a 1-year-old boy, disappeared on November 4, 1996, from Mendota, California. On that day, his father left for work, and when he returned, both Jose, his mother Josephina Rivera, and another child were missing. There has been no contact or confirmed sightings of the family since their disappearance, leaving investigators without many leads. It is suspected that all three may have vanished under suspicious circumstances, though few details have emerged to clarify what happened.

The case remains unsolved, and the missing family continues to be listed in national databases as part of an ongoing effort to uncover more information. Investigators encourage anyone with knowledge of their whereabouts to come forward, as the case has remained a mystery for decades.
