If you’ve spent much time at the Crawford County Courthouse, you’ve probably seen Anna Garcia walking up the ramp, arms full of files for her job as a title examiner. After work, she goes to the home she loves on the southeast side of Bucyrus or to Fremont to visit family.
You might not know she spent her younger years visiting her aunt at the Weaver Hotel. Or she talks to her dad on the phone at least once a week and visits him in prison. Ralph Garcia Sr. has been incarcerated since he murdered her mother in 1986.

“There was a relief when I rounded the street, and the clock tower was still there,” says Crawford County Judge Dennis Gilstrap.
