The disappearance of Morgan Hill teen Sierra LaMar, who has been missing since March 16, has affected thousands of people from across the state, country and beyond. The Help Find Sierra LaMar Facebook page, created to provide updates regarding the LaMar case, has over 20,000 "likes" and several other Facebook pages have been created for the missing Sobrato High School student.
Over the course of Sierra's disappearance, thousands of individuals have invested countless hours in the search for Sierra, and many others have left comments on articles and the Gilroy Patch Facebook page asking how they can help in Sierra's recovery.
While Marlene LaMar, Sierra's mother, has encouraged the public to participate in weekly searches for Sierra, she also knows it isn't the most practical option for individuals living outside of the Morgan Hill area.
For individuals living outside of South County, Marlene has provided the below list of suggestions detailing the different ways to contribute to her daughter's recovery.
- Search local creek areas, parks and other land where you live, especially near bodies of water since and he may be familiar with far-away waterways.
- Increase awareness where you live by telling people you know about Sierra's case, posting her picture on your social media accounts, etc.
- Be on the lookout for her and for any evidence you think may be related to her disappearance.
- Post on your social media accounts that the search center remains open every Wednesday and Saturday. Let people know that Wednesday searches are happening mostly in the morning and aren't likely to continue the entire day, and that Saturday searches are last throughout the day.
- Purchase t-shirts, buttons and car magnets from the search center to be distributed where you live. T-shirts and magnets are being sold for $10 and buttons for a cheaper price. Funds raised from the sale of these items go toward the .
Authorities believe Sierra was kidnapped and murdered by Morgan Hill resident Antolin Garcia-Torres, 21, . He is being held in Santa Clara County Jail and is set to appear in court on July 31.

I have been having a dream about a yellow house with with trim the last couple weeks. So I told my brother about the dream I keep having.He told me Sierra's clothes were found very close to a yellow and white house. I don't know what that means but I felt the need to write about it because the dream just keeps bothering me. I have a mothers intuition that I wish I could get some direction on. Something about a yellow and white house i think has something to do with Sierra's disappearance. I live in northern California about 2 1/2 hours away from Morgan Hill and i am taking care of my mother after surgery other wise I would be out beating the bushes looking for Sierra . My 17 year old son was killed 4 years 7 months and 8 days ago. I saw his body and I know he Is dead. He's not ever coming home. But......Not knowing where your child is dead or alive is unbearable!! Never give up hope. And for me .....look around for a yellow and white house, something about this house is connected with Sierra. To the Lamar family stay positive and love each other. We are all connected to each other with our own pain. Hugs from my family and friends. Debbe .
And do hope the best outcome for this family even if its the awful tregedy outcome and hope that they do find Sierra LaMar after all they do need a closure. remember that is why we have COURT system...and those jury duty will decide based on their findings.,,,,which hoping they do have a case against solved for the sake of the family......cause no body or weapon found..... All of you have good points here and sad to see that one cannot leave suggestions to other instead critizing ones opinions.
Its just like anywhere else in the world, you put yerself out there - you are putting yerself out for scrutiny. BTW - Heather had no good points, sorry (not really) but she didn't.
So we are just telling her.
So we are just telling her.
His parents divorced when he was approximately 12 years old, so yeah maybe he could have stood up to his Dad at that age, but my bet is he was probably abused by Dad also.
It’s just a dream Debbie.
Individuals living outside of the Morgan Hill area can participate in the search for Sierra LaMar—here's how.” (I see even more "guessing" or speculation here then even the sisters try to give the media. You should just stop Heather, you are making yourself look really foolish trying to defend such a awful person. He is involved.) Your right; they need closure. It’s like What Mr. Smith was trying to point out. Are we looking for houses now? Read the Chelsea King story on the internet or facebook, and it may help people to find Sierra. Perhaps if the accused is convicted he might talk to them… I’m sorry Heather. Notice she is not here anymore? Don’t let these people bully you!!! Thank the news group for setting a trap ”What do you think” Next time don’t ask. Just get rid of this page its old NEWS and it might upset more people. That is a good point.
Baby you can drive my car…Yes I’m gonna be a star…And baby I love you… Beep Beep; Beep Beep, Ya!!!
Whatever happened to a safe internet??? And why if we never knew her is she suddenly missing? These pages are disturbing to people. They are an assault on the senses of their readers. Are they really designed to help find a missing girl or just stir up more trouble for mother??? Help mom; Please stop hitting her with your ”NEWS PAGES” What does NANCY Grace have to say...I missed that interview? Lets pray that Marlene LaMar will offer some tips to the Gillroy’s
