The DeSoto Police Department is investigating the disappearance of 27-year-old Arlington resident Amber Garcia and is seeking the public’s help in locating her.

Garcia went missing on Dec. 3 after her mother, Dalila Correa, received alarming phone calls and text messages suggesting her daughter was being held for ransom.

Correa called the Arlington Police Department, and the case was transferred to DeSoto Police due to Garcia’s last known whereabouts.

After Corre spoke with DeSoto Police about her daughter on Dec. 5, an investigation was quickly launched, according to police.

Garcia was briefly taken into custody in DeSoto for a misdemeanor in the morning on Dec. 1 and was released later that day.

Garcia is described as a Hispanic female whose height is 5’5 and weighs approximately 115 lbs.

Anyone with information concerning Garcia’s whereabouts is asked to contact DeSoto Police via DeSoto’s non-emergency number at 972-223-6111.
