Episode 146: The Disappearance of Sierra LaMar

Send us a text

 Sierra Mae LaMar, a 15‑year‑old freshman from Morgan Hill, California, went missing on the morning of March 16, 2012, while walking to her school bus. Within days, her cellphone and pink backpack containing her clothes were found in rural areas nearby. Forensic evidence showed signs she may have been abducted. DNA testing matched genetic material on her jeans and belongings to Antolin Garcia‑Torres, who lived about seven miles away and had a history of violence. Additional DNA evidence was discovered in his Volkswagen Jetta—hair on a rope and fibers on her clothing. In May 2017, after a 13‑week capital murder trial, Garcia‑Torres was found guilty of kidnapping and murdering Sierra, as well as attempted kidnappings of three women in 2009. The jury determined he should spend life in prison without the possibility of parole. Crucially, Sierra’s body has never been found, despite extensive volunteer searches—over 1,100 search efforts totaling around 50,000 volunteer hours.
