Unless you grew up in Ventura, CA in the 70s and 80s you probably haven’t heard the name Tyra Maria Garcia.

But you will.

In 1985, Tyra had everything to look forward to. She was starting a new job, she had lots of friends, she was seeing a new guy… All in all, she was on the come up.

But that all changed on Memorial Day. At around 11 pm, she told her sister and mother she was going to a friend's house late at night.

In spite of a gut feeling that told her older sister Tanya not to let her go, they watched as she rounded the corner of their small apartment complex and disappeared into the night.

That was the last time anyone saw Tyra alive.

Ten days later she was found wrapped in a blanket, tied with a chord, left in an orange grove over an hour away from her home.

There was ample evidence at the scene, many of her close friends and family pointing to a likely suspect, plenty of people who saw Tyra that night, and even eye witnesses at two different locations who saw her in the company of two older guys… and yet, here we are 37 years later - almost to the day - still wondering - what happened to Tyra Garcia?

Someone knows something.

The key to Tyra’s case is out there and we’re hoping that one of you knows who has it. Or at least you know where the pressure needs to be pushed to get it.
