Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51011) and 3 other sources
Amado Bojorquez, aged 43, was last seen by his family in July 1996 in Milpitas, California. His disappearance took a confusing turn when he was arrested on November 28, 1996, in Fairfield, California. However, after this arrest, his whereabouts became unknown, and he was never seen again. The details of his arrest remain unclear, and there is little information available regarding what happened to him following this event.

Despite various agencies recording different dates and locations for his disappearance, with some stating he was last seen in January 1996, the key timeline centers around his last confirmed sighting in July and his arrest months later in November. The Oakland Police Department has been handling his case, though leads have remained scarce. Bojorquez's case remains unsolved, and there are no significant updates or further clues about his fate. There is minimal evidence or distinguishing characteristics that might assist in the investigation. His family and authorities continue to search for answers in this cold case.
Last Seen: Nov 28, 1996
