Adrian Figueroa: The July 2019 Family Contact Reference
The account at his mother’s home, later reporting dates, and questions about the original observation.
Abstract
NamUs MP139659 places Adrian Figueroa’s last-seen account at his mother’s house in July 2019. Its contact field displays July 1, while the narrative gives only the month. This paper preserves that difference in precision and keeps later investigation material optional.
The Account at His Mother’s Home
NamUs says Figueroa was last seen at his mother’s house in July 2019. Its structured Date of Last Contact field displays July 1, 2019; the narrative does not identify an exact day.1 The month-level account is not silently converted into a verified July 1 observation.
The narrative describes earlier absences lasting a month or two and says the present absence lasted longer.1 It does not identify who supplied that history or why those earlier absences occurred. No motive or explanation is assigned to Figueroa or his family.
Location and Reporting Are Separate Questions
NamUs lists Moorpark, Ventura County, California. The mother’s home is not identified by a public street address in the reviewed entry.1 The location field does not establish a route from that home or a later destination.
Ventura County Sheriff’s case 20-16911 carries January 31, 2020 as Date Reported. NamUs case creation is March 5, 2025, and its webpage date is May 7, 2026.1 These dates concern reporting and publication, not additional contact. The source does not explain the reporting interval.
Identification and the Agency Record
NamUs lists missing age 56, black hair, brown eyes, a height of 5 feet 10 inches, and a weight of 245 pounds. The investigating unit is Ventura County Sheriff’s Office–Major Crimes Investigations, with main phone 805-383-8704.1 These identifiers help match a later source to this case.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in: use a Research File in Almost Solved to keep the July family-contact account separate from the January report and later publications. Attach each statement to its date and source.
Can you find a dated original account identifying the observation at his mother’s house? An attributable statement could clarify the day, observer, and context; NamUs’s brief narrative does not supply them.1
When you compare the earlier absences with the July account, can you identify who described their duration? An original family or agency account could clarify that history without treating it as an explanation for this disappearance.1
Show later developments and reported outcomes
Later investigation (optional)
Becca Whitnall’s June 26, 2020 Thousand Oaks Acorn report attributes to sheriff’s Captain Eric Buschow a search at a Thousand Oaks property where Figueroa reportedly lived in an RV. It says investigators had come to suspect a homicide, but Buschow did not disclose the basis for that assessment.2 This is a dated investigative belief, not a confirmed finding of death or an accusation against a named person.
The June report says no body had been found as of June 25 and that investigators removed pieces of an RV they believed he had occupied.2 The July 2 follow-up also says no body was found. Its captions and narrative use June 26 for parts of the account, while the earlier report describes June 25.3 The exact activity dates are therefore kept source-specific rather than silently reconciled.
The reports’ RV-location account and NamUs’s observation at his mother’s house concern different kinds of information. They do not establish his movements between those places.1,2,3 The dated search accounts do not establish his current whereabouts or a later resolution.
The Acorn’s appeal gave Detective Aaron Grass at 805-384-4726 in 2020.2,3 That dated contact is separate from the main agency number printed in NamUs.1
Scope and Method
The populated NamUs record and both original Acorn articles were individually reviewed. Underlying family statements, the search warrant, and recovered-material reports were not inspected. Neutral reference descriptions preserve the optional later section. Same-name memorials, arrest aggregators, and unrelated cases are not merged into this record. No current outcome or connection to another crime is established here.
