Member-only story
Mike Negrette was an excellent musician, known especially for his trumpet skills and his talent for the steel drums.
In 1999, he was a freshman at UCLA on a music scholarship, with so much going for him. College years are supposed to be about growing up, having some fun (hopefully not too much fun), making friends, and learning about life.
Mike was doing all of this.
On December 10, 1999, Mike and some friends went to a party. A pretty normal thing for college students to do.
At some time in the early morning hours, Mike and his roommate returned to their dorm room in Dykstra Hall. The roommate went to bed, but Mike stayed up playing video games online with another friend, who lived right down the hall.
Around 4:30 a.m., their game ended and Mike went to congratulate his friend on winning.
Mike saw his friend and then headed back to his dorm for the night. But that would be the last time anybody saw, or heard from Mike.
Where is Mike William Negrette?
