Amador Garcia: The Contact Record and Its Limits
A dated person entry and an undated property account require separate treatment.
Abstract
NamUs MP56067 lists March 23, 1986, in San Francisco for Amador Garcia’s last contact.1
The Matched Reference
California’s Department of Justice gives the same date and city, under San Francisco Police Department case 860333409.2
NamUs identifies the same agency and case number.1 These matching references connect the entries for comparison. They do not reproduce a witness statement or establish independent observations.
The distinction matters when adding a timeline entry: a dated observation of a person and a report about an object answer different questions. The supporting record should identify which event its date actually describes.
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you locate the original account supporting the March 23 contact date?1,2
Can you identify which details came from a direct observation, and which were added in a later report?1,2
Keep each source, its stated date and your unanswered question in a Research File in Almost Solved. A gap in the public description should remain visible while you look for a documented explanation.

An Undated Property Reference
Both entries describe Garcia’s car being found on the Golden Gate Bridge, without supplying a recovery date.1,2
That property account does not establish where Garcia was, how he left the vehicle or what happened to him. No such conclusion is added here.
Scope and Method
Original observation and property reports were not reviewed. No recovery date, cause or present outcome is established here.
