What Happened To Gracie?

Published: Sept. 28, 2021, 7 a.m.

b'As the summer of 2021 came to an end and the fall began, we saw the internet come together to try and locate missing 22-year-old Gabby Petito. From true crime podcasters to video gaming dads with a proclivity to finding hidden details in surveillance footage, we saw a massive nationwide fixation to help bring Gabby home. We also saw anger from the underserved families of missing people of color. What about MY child? What about MY sister? What about MY mom? There are thousands of missing people of color who are \\u201clucky\\u201d to get a brief mention on the nightly news - it isn\\u2019t until families take it upon themselves, begging for attention from anyone with a platform, that they seem to be heard. Today we\\u2019re sharing the case of missing mother of four Graciela Garcia, a case I hadn\\u2019t heard about until her daughter reached out, one that hasn\\u2019t garnered much media attention at all, and one that seems like it should be solved by now.\\n\\n\\n\\nThe family of Graciela Garcia is currently trying to raise money to obtain a lawyer and a private investigator to help locate her. Please consider donating to their GoFundMe if you can: Missing Gracie Garcia from Hermiston OR \\n\\n\\n\\nYou can also donate amounts under $10 directly to Murder in the Rain over the next two weeks.
