Baptiste Garcia

On 3 October 2016 Maxent Houillon, an exclusive model who performed for the studio under the stage name "Baptiste Garcia", was reported missing to police following, not keeping an appointment with friends in "Place Francois Arago, and then not showing up for a new job he was due to start in a bar in Elne. It was reported by his boyfriend also an exclusive model at French Twinks, Chris Loan, he was last seen by his best friend and unofficial adoptive sister at 13:00 on 03/10/2016 at bus stop in "Roussillonnais". Days went by with no information; news agencies in France, Gay Porn sites all around the world, and social media took an interest spreading word as quickly as possible to as many as they could, to aid with Baptiste's discovery.[37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]
