Circumstances: Found
The Fowler-O’Sullivan Foundation partnered with Western States Aerial Search to locate the remains of Rosario ‘Chata’ Garcia on January 24, 2021.
While Garcia wasn’t a hiker, we knew she had gone missing near hiking trails and felt we could find her. As one of our first cases, it helped us codify the steps in our FOF process.
Garcia, a 73-year-old woman who was married for over 51 years to a Vietnam veteran, was the life of the party, loved to dance, and made friends easily everywhere she went.
Our foundation sends our deepest condolences to her children and grandchildren.
