Luis Osvaldo Diego Garcia, 24, vanished on November 23, 1996, in Ontario, California. He worked at Rama Foods, a rice noodle factory that employed undocumented immigrants. On the day he disappeared Luis had confronted his employer, Woravit Kim Mektrakarn, about unpaid wages and demanded $5,000; Mektrakarn agreed to a partial payment, and Luis disappeared the same day he was due to collect the remainder.

Mektrakarn was seen with Garcia on the day of the disappearance. Investigators later found blood traces in the factory office and Luis’s abandoned car was recovered in Los Angeles. Blood testing in 2003 matched Garcia’s DNA and led to a murder charge, but Mektrakarn fled the country and is believed to have escaped to Thailand. Luis’s remains have never been found.

Does anyone have information about Luis’s movements in late November 1996 or recall seeing his car in Los Angeles around that time?
