- Details of Disappearance:
- In December 1999, 18-year-old UCLA freshman, Negrete, vanished from his dorm room. He’d been playing a computer game until 4:00 a.m. His roommate found him gone at 9:00 a.m.
Everything he owned – clothes, wallet, instruments – was still in his room. Police dogs followed his scent to Sunset Boulevard, but that’s all they found.
A possible witness, a heavy-set Caucasian man (around 35, 5’7″-5’8″, wearing a shiny gray jacket with turquoise details), was seen in the dorm at 4:35 a.m. Police want to talk to him but don’t know if he’s connected to the disappearance.
Negrete had no car and no known enemies. His family couldn’t think of any reason for him to disappear. There’s been no activity on his accounts since he vanished. He was a good student, a skilled musician, and had a unique personality (loud laugh, loved “The Simpsons,” played trumpet and steel drums).
Police suspect foul play and are investigating his disappearance as a homicide. The case remains unsolved.
