Finding this gem felt like unearthing a hidden treasure!
Did you know... the final "Garage Sale Mystery" movie, that was NEVER SEEN on TV on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, has been released on DVD at Amazon and Walmart?
The movie is titled "Garage Sale Mystery: Search and Seized." I was so excited to see this DVD when it became available, I instantly placed it in my Amazon cart and checked it out without hesitation. I've seen ALL 15 previous "Garage Sale Mystery" movies, so I just had to see this one, too!

Unfortunately, the last "Garage Sale Mystery" movie the cast was filming in March of 2019 when production ended, "Garage Sale Mystery: Three Little Murders," only had one more week to film and was not completed.
"Garage Sale Mystery: Search and Seized," however, had fortunately finished just weeks before, and the plan initially was for it to premiere on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in August of 2019, but that was before the college scandal was revealed and the original plans obviously changed. So, instead of this movie premiering on Hallmark, it was instead released on DVD. Like most Hallmark mysteries, "Garage Sale Mystery: Search and Seized" involves an investigation surrounding a murder. The DVD package has a recommendation on it for "mature audiences" due to mature themes and violence. If you've seen past "Garage Sale Mystery" movies, it was actually no different than those. In my opinion, I would not recommend any murder mystery for really young viewers.
As I popped my DVD in, I personally just loved seeing Lori Loughlin as Jennifer Shannon, once again, and all of the other wonderful familiar faces - her best friend and business partner, Dani (Sarah Strange), Jennifer's husband Jason (Steve Bacic), daughter Hannah (Eva Bourne), son Logan (Connor Stanhope), and Detective Frank Lynwood (Kevin O’Grady). Seeing all of them in those same roles felt like visiting old friends; it was great fun to welcome them into my home again. It may sound silly, but I didn't want the movie to end, knowing it was the very end of the series.

This is the basic story-line from the DVD cover:
(NO Spoilers included!)
"No one can unearth a bargain quite like Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin).
As an antiques dealer and owner of the shop 'Rags to Riches', she scours garage sales in search of hidden treasures. The only problem is her incredible eye for detail often leads her to an unsolved crime - and into trouble!
With the help of her family, her business partner Dani, and no-nonsense Detective Frank Lynwood, Jenn uses all of her professional skills to solve the mysteries, even if it puts her own life in danger.
In the final installment - Searched & Seized - Jenn's friend Miles is running a police auction that features items seized in a money counterfeiting operation, but when Miles turns up dead, Jenn suspects he may have gotten involved with criminals to solve his debt problems."

Having this movie as part of my "Garage Sale Mystery" DVD collection now - makes it feel complete. Numerous movie fans have expressed to me - how much they would love Hallmark to pick the series back up where it ended. I don't know what their plans are, if any, but I feel Hallmark should give Lori Loughlin a second chance and bring her back on the network. Many viewers still love her and would warmly welcome her back to "When Calls the Heart" as Abigail Stanton and, of course, "Garage Sale Mysteries!"
"Searched & Seized" is an intriguing who-dun-it story weaved together with all sorts of puzzling prospects and possible suspects. The mystery was so detailed - I was guessing until the very thrilling end, although I had a hunch or two!
The Shannon family was also wonderfully involved with this story as Logan and his father purchased a Mustang at the local Police Auction and were working to restore it and follow their own mystery search. Jenn, of course, found herself deeply involved in the murder mystery of her friend and piecing together all of the clues.
You can get your DVD copy of "Garage Sale Mystery: Search and Seized" TODAY at Amazon or Walmart! If you've enjoyed all of the "Garage Sale Mystery" movies in the past, then you won't want to miss this LAST one!
