Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP1601) and 6 other sources
Freddy Murguia, 28, was last seen on July 24, 1986, in the Hollywood area of Los Angeles, California. At the time, he was well-known in the Los Angeles nightclub scene and operated a small juice stand in West Hollywood, in addition to running a moving business with his family. He was carrying various personal items, including his wallet, pager, and multiple sets of keys when he disappeared.

Murguia's disappearance occurred shortly after a felony warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with a drug-related death at his residence. Initially, authorities suspected he fled to avoid prosecution, but over time, the investigation shifted to a possible foul play scenario. Murguia reportedly disappeared with a companion named Jose, who drove a dark blue four-door car that has never been recovered. Jose has not been reported missing, and his whereabouts remain unknown.

Murguia's case remains unsolved, and despite the passing years, no solid leads have emerged. His family and investigators continue to search for answers, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Los Angeles Police Department.
