Has Rich Garces been kidnapped? I certainly hope not.
The Magallanes Navigator’s closer Richard Garcés is missing since last Monday the 17th, when he played as a reinforcement for the Pastora team against the Caracas Leones (Lions).
Juan Miguel Barrios, the player’s cousin, informed that Garcés talked to his wife last before the aforementioned game, but that Ms Lisbeth de Garcés tried to contact him afterwards and up until yesterday had not learned anything of his whereabouts.
The well-known player was supposed to return to his house in Maracay once the season was over, but he didn’t show up for the last two games, didn’t answer his cellphone, and didn’t receive his “Comeback of the Year” award, which was finally given to his daughter.

Stay safe, El Guapo.
