Marnicus Antonio Lockhard and Ashone Mikah Hollinquest -- reportedly the last people to have seen the 19-year-old before her June 22 disappearance

Pasco mother anxious to find her missing daughter said she hopes two men arrested this week in Arizona and Wisconsin will lead police to the teen.After waiting more than five weeks for any news on Tiairra Jo Garcia's whereabouts, the arrests of two men named as "persons of interest" may be the break Donna Garcia has been waiting for.She wants answers. She's just not sure if she is ready to hear them. "I am relieved that they found them but it's the next step that I am dreading," Donna Garcia said Wednesday evening. "It's not good, not good at all. It's a mother's worst nightmare."
Marnicus Antonio Lockhard and Ashone Mikah Hollinquest -- reportedly the last people to have seen the 19-year-old before her June 22 disappearance -- were arrested after a nationwide manhunt. Lockhard was Tiairra Garcia's boyfriend.
Pasco police, who suspect foul play, had been looking for the men to question them.
Also arrested was Hollinquest's girlfriend, Andrea Rachelle Parr, who reportedly traveled with him from Washington to Arizona.All three were picked up on outstanding warrants by United States marshals, with assistance from other law enforcement agencies.A news release from the U.S. Marshals Service called it a homicide case, but Franklin County Prosecutor Steve Lowe said Wednesday that no charges have been filed yet in relation to Garcia's disappearance."There have been recent developments by the Pasco Police Department that may result in my office reviewing charges of kidnapping or homicide, but we're still gathering all that evidence," Lowe said. "And the arrest of these individuals in the locations that they were found will go a long way in determining what the appropriate charges are."
Lowe said he confirmed with the various agencies that Garcia wasn't in either location during the arrests.Hollinquest, 22, and Parr, 26, were arrested late Tuesday by an Arizona warrant apprehension team in an apartment in Chandler, Ariz.
The two were booked into a Phoenix jail --Hollinquest on a Benton County warrant for the theft of a rental car found near Chicago and Parr for theft charges out of Franklin County.Hollinquest is described by marshals as a "career criminal and documented gang member."Lockhard, 29, was arrested early Wednesday by U.S. marshals at a home in Milwaukee. His three Franklin County warrants are for delivery of controlled substances, failing to show for a hearing on a charge of possessing a stolen gun and a DUI.He also has a federal indictment for firearms charges, which Lowe said will be handled first by federal courts.Lowe said Pasco is sending people to those cities "to follow up on the information."He said authorities tried Wednesday to contact the courts in Maricopa County, Ariz., and Milwaukee County, Wis., to determine if the three will waive extradition or fight it.U.S. Marshal Michael Kline praised Pasco detectives for their "level of interagency cooperation" which led to the "capture of two violent felons and their associate."Donna Garcia says her daughter left their east Pasco home June 22 to go out with Lockhard and his friend, Hollinquest.She never returned home, didn't show up for work the next morning and failed to pick up a paycheck. Garcia told the Herald she called Lockhard after realizing her daughter was missing.Lockhard said the two had gotten into a fight that night and Tiairra Garcia got out of a van near the Les Schwab tire center on Court Street and started walking, she said.Garcia hasn't been seen or heard from since witnesses last saw her that night leaving Joey's Restaurant & Bar in the 1800 block of Court Street with Lockhard and Hollinquest, according to Pasco police Capt. Jim Raymond.Garcia is 5-foot-7, 170 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a brown dress, black leggings and high heels.Investigators believe Garcia has been killed and her body likely buried or covered by debris somewhere around the Tri-Cities.Donna Garcia wants to know why her daughter is missing.
"She was a good kid, she never got in trouble, she just got mixed up with the wrong person," Donna Garcia said while choking back tears. "She was young, she had her whole life ahead of her and we were close."
She added: "I just want to know why this happened and where my daughter is at? What they did with her? To find my daughter."
