Police searched adjoining West Chester Township properties on Gregory Creek Lane for evidence in Rigoberto Jose Garcia’s 2018 disappearance.
WCPO reported that Fairfield Township police were working with West Chester police and Ohio’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Authorities said the search sought evidence of a possible crime and human remains.
Police identified Gary Tzeiranakis as a person of interest, not a suspect, WLWT reported Thursday, Nov. 5.
The Ohio Attorney General’s missing-person listing says Garcia was 37 when he disappeared Jan. 12, 2018. It says he was last seen leaving a job site and that his vehicle was later recovered.
The state listing describes Garcia as 5 feet 1 inch tall, weighing 135 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. It directs people with information to Fairfield Township police at 513-887-4406.
In the statement reported by WCPO, authorities also sought information about activity involving the properties and events in early 2018. That report listed the investigations line at 513-785-4173 and CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.
