What happened to one Monterey County woman, just miles away and one month before the disappearance of Arelie Garcia, remains a mystery 2 years later

20-year-old Kayeleigh Gammill left her Salinas, California home on August 17, 2022, around 5:30 p.m. Her body was found two weeks later at the bottom of a cliff in Big Sur, California. Less than a month after Kayeleigh’s body was found, another woman from Salinas disappeared. Her name is Arelie Garcia. She vanished on September 22, 2022. Her car was found in Big Sur, about 25 miles from where Kayeleigh’s body had been found. Authorities do not believe the cases are connected.

Attorney Darlene Gomez on the case that spurred her MMIW advocacy journey

Darlene Gomez has been an attorney for more than two decades. She’s also been a longtime champion for missing and murdered Indigenous women (MMIW). Her first case was in 2000. The following year it became personal when her friend Melissa Montoya vanished from Dulce, New Mexico. Darlene has been determined to bring greater attention to the MMIW crisis ever since, taking on cases pro bono. Melanie James, whose story we tell in Season 3, is one of Darlene's cases.
