Authorities arrested
Morgan Hill’s Antolin Garcia-Torres on May 21, 2012, for the kidnap
and murder of Sierra LaMar. Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar went
missing on her way to school on March 16, 2012. The authorities had
Antolin Garcia-Torres under-surveillance since March 28, 2012. They
were gathering evidence and hoping he would lead authorities to her
body. The authorities strongly believe that Sierra LaMar is dead.
Authorities and volunteer are continuing to look for her body. On May
23, 2012 divers were looking in Uvas Reservoir in Santa Clara County.
With the all DNA evidence against Antolin Garcia-Torres, his sister
is saying "they don't have enough evidence to convict him."
If it they did not have enough evidence, why was his DNA found on her
clothes in the Juicy backpack and Sierra’s DNA found in his car?
Did they know each other? Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith
said they have no evidence that knew each other. Antolin
Garcia-Torres’s DNA was in the system, because of an assault back
in March 2009. In 2009 there were three assaults at the Safeway
parking lot 840 E. Dunne Ave. in Morgan Hill. The suspect would enter
women’s car through the drivers-side rear door. One woman said her
attacker used a Taser gun to stun her, authorities believed the
attacker was the same in all three cases. If this was Antolin
Garcia-Torres attacking women back in 2009 it is a shame that he was
not arrested back then he would have been off the streets and Sierra
would have probably been a live today. As the authorities continue to
search for Sierra’s body, I just hope they have the right sick
S.O.B. off the streets. My prayers go out to the LaMar family.
