"Aida Montecino, of a San Pedro address, visited the San Pedro Police Station and she reported that she had not seen her son since Wednesday the 13th of June. His name is Melvin Alexander Montecino, 26 years of a Sea Star Street in San Pedro. He is of Hispanic descent, medium built, about 5 feet 8 inches in height. What we understand is that on Thursday at about 9 pm he was at his address along with other friends when he received a call and thereafter departed from that location along with another friend on board of a motorcycle. That was the last time that he was seen in the area of San Pedro. Up to now the family members and police have organized several searches. Information they received was that he went to the north side of San Pedro. So, the family members and police conducted a search within 11 and 14 miles north of San Pedro where, up to now it has provided fruitless. The mother mentioned that the last time she saw him was on Wednesday. The other friends that were along with him at the apartment, as he is the manager of an apartment building, said he left from there on Thursday night along with another male person Silverio Cal, 27 years of that same address. However, no family members of him have made an official report.
