Bryant Palacios Zuniga: The Redwood City Record
A family’s account and the dated public record.
Abstract
NamUs MP122645 lists April 2, 2024 as Bryant Alberto Palacios Zuniga’s Date of Last Contact. Its narrative places his last known location at home in Redwood City.1
Case Record
The entry identifies Redwood City Police Department case R24-04-0129 but supplies no agency report date. A contact field and a report date describe different things; the missing field cannot settle when the first report was made.1
Family History
In a public appeal, organizer Cristina Palacios’s family describes Bryant growing up in Santa Rosa, graduating from Santa Rosa High School in 2016, and completing biochemistry and molecular biology studies at UC Davis in 2020. They remember a caring older brother with an ambition to become a doctor. These are attributed family recollections.2
The appeal describes an April 2 telephone conversation with his mother, followed by unanswered attempts to reach him and a family visit to Redwood City on April 6.2
Contemporary Reporting
Martin Espinoza interviewed Bryant’s mother for The Press Democrat’s April 19, 2024 report. She described the April 2 call and unsuccessful attempts to contact him afterward. Investigations commander Lt. Nick Perna told the reporter by email that investigators were looking into events in Nogales.3
Sourced Accounts and Questions
Here’s where you come in. Can you find an original public explanation of what the register’s April 2 contact entry records?1
Can you clarify the appeal’s April 7 report date and the newspaper account’s April 8 date? Keep both dated accounts in a Research File in Almost Solved.2,3

Later Vehicle Account
Espinoza also interviewed the tow operator, who said border agents requested the car’s removal on April 7. That is an attributed vehicle account, not a documented observation of Bryant at the car’s location.3
Scope and Method
Present outcome unverified.
