CA - Karen Garcia Romero, 21, Colusa, 8 Jan 2018 *ARREST*

Quintero (Karen's friend) sent Karen a text Monday at 3:51 p.m.
“I’m in Yuba City, you need anything?” she wrote.

Karen responded saying: “No. I’m in Roseville. Needed some busy time. Yeah, I needed some time to myself.”

Early Sunday morning, Karen’s sister Jessica Garcia died along with four others in a fiery collision on I-5 in Woodland.

“Ever since that, her head has been, kind of, everywhere,” Quintero said.

Salvador Garcia lives with Karen in Colusa and the two share a child: 2-year-old Avianna.

“She got in her car and she took off,” Garcia recounted. “Just in a rush to get out.”

But Karen had left her purse, wallet, and I.D at Quintero’s apartment.

A Williams woman died in a fatal collision in Woodland on Sunday. Now, her older sister Karen Garcia is missing.

​

The 21-year-old was last seen leaving her Colusa apartment on Monday. Her sister received a text saying: “Hey I’m at Roseville and Vacaville today, I have to run some errands. I’ll be back late tonight okay.” That was at 5:10pm on Monday and no one has heard from her since.​

Thank you Gig Tu for adding the pics. I don't know how to do that sort of thing.

I'm afraid she may have gone off and harmed herself. Having her sister die in such a dramatic and tragic way could have sent her over the edge. For the sake of her family who have already lost one daughter, and for Karen's own child, I hope she is just hiding out and will return soon. Without her purse I don't know how long she could get by without someone helping her though.

My 30,000' totally SWAG view says that no way would she voluntarily disappear at a time her family needs her, and needs to be together, so much. IMO someone abducted her or she had a car accident yet to be found. My heart goes out to this family.

I'm sure she wouldn't want her parents to lose another daughter but we don't know her state of mind. She might not have been thinking that at the time.
