David Bear Meza was identified by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2018 as the primary suspect in the abduction and murder of 22-year-old Matthew Chase. Chase disappeared on June 8, 1988 after leaving to deposit his paycheck at an ATM; surveillance footage showed a suspicious man standing close to him and multiple forced withdrawals were made from his account. Chase’s remains were found months later in a ravine in Pasadena with a gunshot wound, and his death was ruled a homicide.

Meza, described in reports as a known gang member and named in the LAPD announcement, was found dead on June 10, 1988, two days after Chase vanished.

Did anyone who knew Matthew or observed activity around the ATM in June 1988 ever share details that could help clarify who else might have been involved?
