Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP87996) and 1 other source
In the city of Passaic, New Jersey, a family's life was forever changed on October 12, 2017. On that day, 48-year-old Jorge Garcia-Mirabal, a Hispanic male, was last seen. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance were initially shrouded in mystery, leaving his loved ones with unanswered questions and growing concern. For years, there was little information available to the public about what might have happened to him. He was described as being 5'8" tall and weighing 230 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

A significant and alarming development in the case came more than three years after Jorge Garcia-Mirabal was last seen. On February 16, 2021, his family received a disturbing phone call from an unknown individual. The caller claimed that three African American men had forcibly taken Garcia-Mirabal, put him into a vehicle, and driven away. The reason given for this alleged abduction was an issue involving a female. This information, while providing a potential lead, also painted a grim and violent picture of his disappearance. The Passaic Police Department was notified the following day, February 17, 2021, and an official report was filed.

The investigation into Jorge Garcia-Mirabal's disappearance is being handled by the Passaic Police Department. The case, which was created in the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System on January 12, 2022, remains open. The information provided by the anonymous phone call is a central element of the investigation, though it is unclear what further evidence has been uncovered since. The overview of this case is one of a sudden disappearance followed by a years-long silence, which was then broken by a single, ominous phone call suggesting a violent abduction. The lack of public updates and resolution continues to leave a void for the family and community of Jorge Garcia-Mirabal.
