Summary

Michael Negrete was enjoying his first semester as a freshman at UCLA in 1999. On the night of December 10th, after attending a party on his dorm floor, he made his way back to his room to play a friend across the hall in a computer video game. By 4 AM, after the final match of the game, Michael ran across the hall to congratulate his friend on the win and was then seen walking back into his dorm room. By 9 AM that morning, Michael was officially missing. He had seemingly left nearly all of his belongings in the room, including his keys, wallet, ID, and even down to his shoes. Witnesses would later claim that around 4:00 to 4:30 AM on the night Michael vanished, a mysterious older man was seen lurking through the halls of the dorm who no could identify. This man has never been officially been named and is largely thought to be the culprit in Michael’s disappearance.
