Palm Sunday mass at St. Jude’s, the patron saint of lost causes, just may be the perfect place for friends and family to gather and pray for the safe return of Franco Garcia.
“The situation is getting to a point that we just need to pray to God as hard as we can in order to find a way to find Franco,” Family-friend Genoveva Tavera said.
The 23-year-old Boston College student has been missing for five weeks. He was last seen with friends at Mary Ann’s of Boston.
The Chestnut Hill Reservoir has been searched several times.
The last clues about his whereabouts are some images taken by an ATM in Cleveland Circle.
“There have been tips that have lead us in different directions, and we’ve followed those in conjunction with the police department and on the private side,” Private Detective Justin Billard said, “But to this point unfortunately. we have no other information.”
“Franco, just in case you are watching this, it’s okay to come home if this is what it is, and if it’s somebody else that is holding Franco against his will, please release him because there’s a desperate family that wants to hug him,” Tavera said.
Garcia is family getting desperate, but they are holding onto their faith in hopes of finding Franco.
They are also asking for the public’s help. Anyone with information that might help in the case is asked to contact Newton Police.
