Police Ask Help in Locating Missing San Jose Man

Eric Dean Garcia was last seen in San Jose on Sept. 18 riding off on his Harley Davidson.

Police are trying to locate a San Jose man who was last seen two weeks ago.

Eric Dean Garcia, 32, also known as "Pee-Ka" was last seen at 11:45 p.m. on Sept. 18 near Vine and Goodyear streets.

Police said Garcia was at a party in the neighborhood when he received a phone call and told his friends he would be right back. He then took off on his motorcycle, a black 1985 FLT-model Harley Davidson, and didn't return.

Police Officer Albert Morales said police do not believe any foul play is involved, and that Garcia likely either voluntarily disappeared or possibly suffered a medical problem.

Garcia is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall, and weighing 350 pounds. He has a Harley-Davidson symbol tattooed on the back of his head, police said.

Police said Garcia was wearing blue jeans, a white T-shirt, a black leather biker vest, and black-and-white Vans shoes the last time he was seen.

The license plate of Garcia's bike is 18W5272.

A post on a Facebook page set up for Garcia after he went missing states that there will be a candlelight vigil for him at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish at 325 Willow St. in San Jose.

San Jose police are asking anyone with information about Garcia's whereabouts to call police at 408-277-4786.

It's difficult to know what's going on in a kid's mind unless they feel confident enough to open upRead More and talk. And this program helps us adults to learn to listen differently.

I too was at this Challenge Day. It was my 6th. I first volunteered because I watched the programRead More on MTV "If You Really Knew Me" when my son was being severely bullied in middle school and saw the program was offered when he was a freshman in high school. My company strongly supports me volunteering for this and allows me to take the day off work to attend. I am continually humbled by what these teens share and saddened at what some of them have experienced in their short lives. This program is so valuable. I think every school should offer it and every parent should attend. It helps us to realize that we need to think twice before we judge or assume things about others when we know nothing about them. It is the volunteering opportunity that I look forward to participating in every year.
