Guapo Gone; Garces Gang Glum

El Guapo's been kidnapped?!?!!

UPDATE: Translated from Ultima Noticias, a Venezuelan newspaper:

"The Magallanes Navigator's closer Richard Garcés has been 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, said 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 learned nothing 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 cell phone, nor did he receive his "Comeback Player of the Year" award, which was finally given to his daughter.

Out of desperation, the player's family made the police report but have yet to obtain any info about Garcés.

The player's wife says this is the first time that this has happened and pleads that whoever has any info should contact her at 0243-2837758."
