Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP24358) and 5 other sources
Larisa Macriello, a 44-year-old woman, was last seen on June 3, 2013, in Miami, Florida. She left her home around 10:00 a.m. and was never heard from again. Originally from Panama, Larisa had moved to Miami in 2009 and worked as a massage therapist. Known to be private yet family-oriented, her sudden disappearance caused concern when her family couldn't reach her. Her brother reported her missing on June 18, 2013, after finding her car cleaned and noticing unusual bank withdrawals.

As the investigation progressed, it was revealed that Larisa had been in a relationship with John Paul Garcia, a married man with a criminal history. Evidence, including Garcia's use of her debit card and forensic findings in her car, implicated him in her disappearance. Although Larisa's body was never found, Garcia was convicted of second-degree murder and grand theft in 2015. Despite his conviction, Garcia has continued to appeal the case, and the mystery surrounding Larisa's final moments remains unsolved.
