Albert Hernandez Chairez: The Pomona Drop-Off Account
The public narrative supports a year, while its date field displays a specific day.
Abstract
NamUs MP100495 says Albert Hernandez Chairez was dropped off in Pomona in 1994 and had no family contact afterward. Its Date of Last Contact field displays January 1, 1994.1 The narrative does not establish that the drop-off occurred on New Year’s Day; its year-level precision is retained.
The Drop-Off Account
The entry names Pomona, California, and Los Angeles County.1 It does not identify the person who dropped him off, an exact site, a vehicle, a time, or his intended destination. Those omissions do not establish a route or wrongdoing by a companion.
The Difference in Date Precision
January 1 is the field value, while 1994 is the timing given in the account.1 The entry does not explain the basis for that day. It should not be silently called a verified observation, but neither is a placeholder established by the reviewed text. The date’s underlying precision remains a question.
Names and Identification
NamUs lists missing age 35, black hair, brown eyes, height 5 feet 6 inches, and weight 160 pounds. Listed aliases are Alberto Hernandez Chairez, Albert Hernandez, and Albert C. Hernandez, Jr.1 These are record-matching references; the shorter names alone do not identify a person. Clothing and distinctive-feature fields contain no information.
Police File and Administrative Dates
The investigating agency is Pomona Police Department, case P2301-01267, phone (909) 622-1241. Date Reported is January 31, 2023; NamUs Case Created is February 22, 2023, and the webpage Date Created label is May 7, 2026.1 None is an additional contact. The report-date interval does not explain when relatives first became concerned.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you find a dated agency clarification tied to P2301-01267 explaining whether the drop-off is known only to 1994 or to a particular day?1 An underlying statement or report could clarify the basis for January 1 without treating the field as an independently established sighting.
As you compare the aliases, can you match the full record and case reference before adding a claim to the timeline?1 Preserve source wording, event dates, and uncertainty in a Research File in Almost Solved. The unidentified drop-off and later report date leave questions open; they do not identify a cause or justify an accusation against family.
Scope and Method
The underlying family statements and police report were not independently reviewed. The narrative supports a year-level account. No case-specific original reporting was located in the focused search. Unmatched results and unverified third-party recollections are excluded.
