Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith said Antolin Garcia-Torres, who is being held in connection with the disappearance of LaMar, may be connected with at least one of three other 2009 assaults involving a Taser in a Morgan Hill Safeway parking lot.
His DNA was in the system because of a 2009 felony assault, for which he was arrested, but never prosecuted for reasons unclear.
so it could have just been a reluctant witness, scared or just didn't want to go to trial, it sucks that whatever the reason, this might have been avoided. I have seen his arrest photo and the artist sketch from the wanted poster posted side by side at another site and the artist was spot on. It's a bummer that in 2009, detectives may not have compared the sketch artist photo to safe-way employees, it would have been known immediately it was AGT.
