Eloy Cisero Garcia, a 27-year-old man, was last seen on February 4, 1978, in San Jose, California, near the intersection of Tully Road and Alvin Drive. At the time of his disappearance, he was wearing a light blue shirt, a blue denim jacket, and Levi's jeans. Garcia stood 5'7", weighed 180 pounds, and had black hair and brown eyes. He also had several tattoos, including the name "Stephanie Garcia" on his chest, a skunk on his upper left arm, and "Por Vida" with three flowers on his upper right arm. Garcia was also missing four upper teeth, which he replaced with a partial plate.

His disappearance has been classified as suspicious, and foul play is suspected. Despite extensive investigations, Garcia has not been found. Authorities continue to seek information that could lead to answers regarding his case, which remains unsolved decades later.
