'We love you.' Police, family asks for public's help locating April Garcia
It's been weeks since April Garcia's family last heard from her, and while she's disconnected in the past, this time it's different. "She normally would contact me or the family to say that she was OK and alive," said her daughter, Alexis Ibarra. Garcia was last seen April 1 and after weeks of being unable to locate her, she was reported missing by family April 16. During that time, Garcia placed a call to family April 12, stating she wouldn't be returning home. The call was unusual, her daughter said, given their conversation a few weeks earlier. "She didn't tell me anything about her wanting to leave or going to hang out with anyone," Ibarra said. On May 1, Indianapolis Metropolitan Police put out a call for help finding Garcia. Ibarra, who lives in California, said she plans to fly into Indianapolis next week to establish a search party with the help of Indianapolis police. "If you're reading this, (Mom), just know your daughters love you. Your family loves you. We love you and we just want you home safe," Ibarra said. Anyone with information about Garcia's whereabouts can call 911, IMPD Missing Persons Unit at 317-327-6160, or call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317-262-8477 (TIPS). Citizens can also download the mobile P3tips app for Apple or Android phones to submit a mobile tip or go to to submit a web tip. Garcia was last seen on April 1 and last heard from on April 12, according to police. The family says that Garcia would commonly hang out in the Garfield Park and Fountain Square areas. She has also spent some time staying in the homeless encampments around Indianapolis. Garcia was last seen near her apartment in the 400 block of Sandra Lane, according to the police. She was also last seen with a person named Steven Long. Garcia is a 42-year-old Hispanic woman who stands at 5 feet and 4 inches tall and weighs about 165 pounds. She has brown eyes and reddish-black hair.
