Fresno County homicide detectives have recovered the body of a Selma man who was reported missing nearly five years ago.

Miguel Alonso Garcia, 30 at the time of his disappearance, was last heard from on Sept. 11, 2020. He was reported missing two days later.

On April 15, sheriff’s detectives executed a search warrant at a property in the 400 block of 6th Avenue Drive in Kingsburg, commonly known to locals as “The Peach Pit.”

Acting on a tip that Garcia’s body may be buried there, detectives — with the help of Fresno County Public Works — used heavy equipment to dig through areas of dirt and eventually uncovered human remains.

The Fresno County Coroner’s Office later confirmed the remains as Garcia’s.
