Michael Negrete
Shownotes
In the early morning hours of December 10, 1999, an 18-year-old UCLA freshman finished playing a computer game in his dorm room, stepped into the hallway to high-five the friend he'd been playing against, and walked back toward his own room.
When his roommate woke up the next morning, Michael Negrete was gone.
Bloodhounds traced his scent to a bus stop a few blocks away, but then the trail just stopped. Michael hadn’t been in trouble; he hadn’t been depressed; he hadn’t been running with a bad crowd. There were absolutely no red flags in his life, and nothing that would lead anyone to believe he wouldn’t finish his first semester of college and go home with everyone else.
In over 26 years there's been no body, no arrest, no confirmed sighting, and not a single dollar taken out of his bank account. Police have never named a suspect, and they have never found Michael.
If you have any information about the disappearance of Michael Negrete, please contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau at (323) 890-5500, and reference case number 0199003533. You can also contact the UCLA Police Department at (310) 825-1491.
