SAN MARCOS, Texas — The body of a San Marcos man missing since Monday, May 10, has been located, according to Texas Search and Rescue (TEXSAR).
Harper Garlitos, 21, was last seen in San Marcos driving his silver 2003 Toyota Tundra pickup truck. His car was later located in the La Cima neighborhood.
TEXAR said it deployed crews at the request of the San Marcos Police Department on May 25. His body was located that afternoon.
“A search operation calls for special expertise, not only to locate the missing person, but to preserve evidence that may be in the area. It also calls for discretion and respect for potentially confidential law enforcement operations. TEXSAR’s trained volunteers fit that bill. That is why we call TEXSAR,” Justin McInnis, TEXSAR President and CEO, as well as the lead on this search, said. “We were honored to have been requested for this operation. This is what we train for. Although the outcome was a sad one, we are grateful to help provide closure to Harper’s family.”
TEXSAR extended its conodolonces to the Garlitos family.
No further information was immediately available.
